The Tractornator is for sale. Big beast with front forks, a bucket attachment, a brand new back tire last year (darn things cost $1200!). I'll even toss in a couple of vintage 1963 license plates for decoration!

Can lift at least 1500 lb round bales, makes a BIG noise and rumbles under your butt when you sit on her. Will pull just about anything. Takes diesel.

Reason for selling: Too big for our little acreage and we really don't have the knowledge base to fix her if anything goes wrong. Mark has replaced all the hoses and cleaned her up. We cannot start her in the winter, and that's due to our lack of tractor saavy; though I think if she were in a heated garage it wouldn't be so much of a problem.

$2000 to the right home (that would be, someone with the money :lol: )

Just under six acres. I don't have anything to plow and this would pull a plow easily. My truck can also tow a round bale into the pen, so I don't need this huge tractor for that :lol:

Here's a picture of her

Oh she's a beaut, she'd look great at our place :wink: I'l like to be able to move round blaes out to each pasture this winter so the horses aren't standing in one spot, have to travel in and out for water on nice days. I'll let you know after I win the lotto this Friday!
