Looking for a used magnatrac- prefer with 6 way dozer blade- loader and ripper attachment - but will entertain anything remotely close. I live in Nevada. Will look at anything West of the Rockies.

Sure are fascinating machines. Have you ever done a project with one? ....

No , I cannot say that I have. For that matter, I cannot say that I have run more than a Bobcat or a forklift.I have the literature and the video for the magnatrac - and the machine looks uniquely suited to the job I need to do. I need a pint size dozer/loader to move earth in very tight spaces. It is no secret that the earth here in Reno is none too soft either, so tracks are a good call. I figure I'll take a shot at finding a used one . . . before I cough the green for a new one. They aren't easy to find for sale used. What's your game plan? ....

Reno! My old stompin grounds. Something about your question sounded familiar to me. Twenty years ago I tried out the magnatracs and dalco machines. At that time the company offered customer lists and even gave a discount to people who wanted to act a reps for whichever machine that they bought. Maybe they still do. I treated it as a quest, and called everyone on the list as well as trying a few of the machines. Darn near bought one several times, as they are available used at remarkably low prices. Bottom line was that I discovered that for every purpose I tried - except one - even the tiny compact 4wd tractors were so much more capable that it wasn't even a horse race. I still like the magnatrac, probably because it is a lot like what I would build for myself if starting from scratch. ....
