Hi Guys, Here is a group follow up. I am planning to buy a new diesel Magnatrac this spring with a loader, backhoe and blade. Struck just came out with a diesel version and it really looks nice. Last year I contacted Struck corp and asked for a name of a local owner and they provided a name and phone number of a guy about 50 miles from me. We went and looked at his machine and he let me drive it and move some dirt. He loves his machine and gave me some good feedback. I could buy a used JD450 with a loader and backhoe for half the price of a new Magnatrac but if you have ever driven a JD450 and a Magnatrac there is no comparison. I have also looked at new JD skidsteers with wheel tracs and a backhoe but, that would cost about $7,000 more than a Magnatrac and you have less power as a skidsteer does not have the raw power since it not a true dedicated trac system. Someone mentioned that they were looking for a used Magnatrac, I know of two of them one for $17,000 and one for around $15,000. Last thought, since we all have Magnatracs on our mind and might benefit with further discussion, should I set up a free discussion forum and we could message back and forth?
