Yes, that is one of the challenges. Even here in California, where there are more than a few, I have never seen them up for sale used. If you think those are expensive, have a look at Aebi. $$$$$ The Ferrari of tractors, or perhaps Pinzgauer.
With Carraro even after the crazy price, there is always the specter of a mechanical failure that could break the bank. Before I found Power Trac's, I was searching for reversible Antonio Carraro's and found a few with hydrostatic drive problems and got astronomical quotes for repair. They are very high tech and I believe need factory trained mechanics for major problems. The ones I test drove, where very smooth. But in the reversed position (what I wanted them for - implements out front), the 3pt controls were not at all comfortable to reach/use. Found Power Trac in the nick of time.
