looking for Wallace tractor

Hello all, it's been a long time since I've been on the site. I am wondering if Rick Wallace (Wallace Tractor) is still posting on this site? He has been able to help me in the past and wanted to ask him a few questions now. Thanks in advance for the help .

I believe Rick closed his business due to personal reasons years ago.

Looks like this is the person you were speaking with in the past: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/members/wallace/

Here is the last thread he was involved with, back in 2016, closing the story.

Thank you so much. The last time I talked with him (I used to order parts from him) it sounded like he and his wife were going to close the business. Thanks for y'all help.

I miss Rick. Super nice guy who worked really hard. His wife was also a pleasure and so where his kids, daughter I think I met can’t recall if son but seem to remember a son also. Was nice to meet a guy who took customer service so seriously. I’m sure he’s doing well no matter what he’s up to.

I miss Rick Wallace too. I bought my DK40se with Woods BH and flail mower from him by phone (I knew him well from his participation on TBN) and he then trailered it about 300 miles, took it on a ferry and delivered it to me on an island! Talk about service. He and a helper spent the night and then took off (with my CK20TLB trade). Great hard working dealer. He also had a barbeque party at his shop a year or so later and about a dozen TBNers traveled many miles to participate. I forget his wife's name but she was also great to work with (and a lot easier on the eyes than Rick).

I recall that Rick got into trouble with Kioti because he was selling out of his "area". Kioti pulled the plug and Rick switched to Mahindra and Bobcat I believe. I don't know why he eventually gave up the business but I'm sure it wasn't because he failed to take care of his customers. He's an excellent and fair businessman.

I think wife was Amy
I went to the cookout, had a blast. I drove from NH.
Competed in the tractor skill course.
Ate burgers and dogs, toured the facility and bought a trencher bucket and box blade.
Rick printed stickers for my truck

“Kioti Hauler”

Super nice day with a bunch of great people.

Remember tractor fitted out for logging, man could his guys bend pipe and weld!
