I'm in a bit of a bind and may have to end up selling my Bobcat T-190, which is damn near brand new. In a previous post I discussed the fact that I entered in to government debris removal work (Post-Katrina clean-up). At this point, my Bobcat is basically collecting dust and costing me a $900/month note.

Here's the specs on the machine (and trailer that I purchased with it):
2007 Bobcat T-190
About 60 hrs.

Options:
071 Package
Deluxe instrumentation
Power Bob-Tach
B/u alarm
Attachment control kit
12" Rubber Tracks
68" L/P Bucket

Bobcat 66" Grapple Bucket: $3,500 + Tax

Paid: $39,000 + Tax + Grapple Bucket ($3,500)


2007 Contrail Towmaster C-12 Trailer (for Bobcat)
About 3,000 miles - nearly new

Specs:
16' long
12k lb. load capacity
Toolbox on tongue
Spring-assisted ramps
Spare tire

Paid: $7,000 (Incl. TT&L)


Just wondering what you'll would value this equipment at..? I'm hoping to sell for as little of a loss as possible (obviously). I really f***** up getting in to this storm work. Shoulda just stuck with what I know (landscaping). Anyway, that's beside the point.

Any input from any of you would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Chase

Chase...if ya gotta sell, start contacting dealerships outside of your state....preferably where there is still a market. Go to different radio/tv websites and they usually have free classified ad sections where you can post pics and advertise. Make cold calls to different operators/companies you may find on the web.....in your area and out of your area. You spend 8 hrs. a day doing that for a week and you should be able to find a home for it.....
