Selling Power Trac

Yardscaper · May 23, 2004

I may be looking to sell my PT2445 trailer package. I have to upgrade to a little bit heavier machine due to more work on new construction sites. The tractor has 400 hours and comes with the backhoe with 12" bucket. The trailer has the 10,000 lb gvw and comes with a spare tractor tire, spare trailer tire, an upgraded 12,000 lb. drop leg jack, fuel can, tool kit, bottle jack, spare strap and tie down anchor, stump grinder, 18 cu. ft. material bucket, boom pole, tiller, power rake, rock bucket, and the planter drill with 9", 18", 24", and 36" augers. I was just wondering if there may be any interest among the forum users. This machine has been well maintained and is in great shape.

I am going to be purchasing a new John Deere 110 TLB or a combination skid steer and mini excavator. Not sure it I will be selling the 1430 yet, but if there is any interest, just let me know. It has only 230 hours or so. Both machines were purchased in 2002 and used in landscaping. Pics to follow if there is any interest.

Thanks in advance,

I suggest you look a the Kubota L35/L48 TLB

How is your 2445? Ive never heard of one owning one as big as this

Chechnya,

Thank you for the pics and info on the Kubota series TLB. I went to the dealer today and took a look at both of them. They are very nice machines and have more power and lifting capacity than the John Deere 110 TLB. However, I am leaning towards a Bobcat B300B TLB, http://www.bobcat.com/products/photos.html?item=4938&photo=3&mp=3 as shown here. The reason is 4 whee steering which increases maneuverability, and the fact that it lifts more and has better visibility to the cutting edge. Also, the price is about 5K less than the Kubota or Deere.

As for the 2445, we have had good luck with it, I am just starting to get into heavier lifting and deeper and harder digging, so rather than tear up a perfectly good machine and have to constantly repair abuse created damage, I am going to let it go and move up to a bigger machine. I am, however going to hold onto my 1430.

Thanks Again!
