Artec Tractor and Equipment

Yes sir, I agree, lets tell the WHOLE story. I paid $8500 with the money from my insurance company and the the tractor was supposed to be like new. At that time I inquired about taking the $8500 and applying that to a new tractor, but was discouraged from doing so. Then after getting it fixed (except for the brake issue and algae in the gas tank) you only offered me $5,000 for the tractor. My tractor was rebuilt at Artec with the assurance that it would be like new. (It is 2012 garage kept and looks new with 40 hours.) It cost $8500 to fix it, but Artec would give me no trade in on the tractor and after it was rebuilt they would only give me $5000 trade in. I would have done better taking the $8500 and putting it on a new tractor and you should have told me that. The general consensus is that you made more money "fixing" the tractor for $8500 than letting me use that insurance money towards another tractor. And no sir, it wasn't your fault that I ran my tractor into a pond (cheap shot by the way). The fact is you made out handily by charging $8500 to work on a tractor that you say is only worth $5,000. (Slick move) This is and was an integrity issue .
