I've been poking around e-bay for a 25k pound or larger track loader with a 4 in 1 bucket for months. Does anyone have one they want to sell close to central Virginia or know of a good place to look? Thanks, Nick.

I would try some heavy equipment auctions, but be careful about buying junk... you may end up with a lemon costing you a lot of money.. but then agin, that can happen at a dealer too... do your homework first.
Another place that looks good is here: http://www.equipmenttraderonline.com/find/browse/earthmoving/
I know it's not really close but I saw a 555 john deere track loader at a dealer down in Montpelier VT. If you want I can call and get some info about it.
I was at an auction last weekend where they sold a 977L, floor pedal for 10k, and the tracks were decent, and overall in good condition. If you haven't bought anything yet, start hitting the auctions, Iron is down right now.
