Too bad you are selling it but makes sense if you no longer use it much. Someone should be very happy with that machine. 
I know. It's taking up too much room in the garage, and we could use the money for our antique house updates. I'm very happy with it, and had more plans for it, like adding an oil cooler and getting other fun attachments. Just not enough use for it anymore to justify keeping it. Eventually, we will return to the country and I will be kicking myself for letting it go.
It has a new fuel pump (forgot to mention in the add).

$4000 with a trencher, bucket, and 48" mower is a killer of a deal. You are going to make someone very happy. New all of that would run more then $9000.
WIsh I was in the market for a PT180.... or that you had been around when I bought mine in 2005. If you weren't 600 miles away from me I would try to convince you to sell me the trencher (not that I need it until I get out of this apartment we are living in temporarily and get back into a house).

I was trying to sell it in 2005, but I wasn't making as much of an effort as I am now. I was asking $6000 then. I probably wasn't as committed to selling it then. I think that with everything that I bought new, it was over 10,000.
I think the main trouble I have is that people around me aren't familiar with what it is. They look at it and think it must be a JD lawn tractor, or something, which they can pick up at Lowes or Home Depot for two or three thousand new. Or they just think it is some odd contraption. I don't know, but I was on a walk with my wife the other day and saw a trailer with a JD riding mower and a separate trenching machine. I told her, "They need my tractor." She said, "They don't even know it's for sale," a slight stab at me to get me moving on it. I cleaned it up today and took the pictures.

Have you considered having Power-Trac put an add on their website? (I have no idea what they charge).

Are you willing to sell the trencher alone? I have a 422 and could use it.
I did run an add on the Power-Trac site, or at least I sent it in. I don't think they ever got around to posting it. It was free.
My goal is to get rid of the whole thing. If I have to piece it out, I will, but give me a few weeks. I also ran it on CraigsList yesterday, and I've got about 4 or 5 people so far saying they are interested today.
