6x6's For Sale Up North

[mdmheine]

I have noticed that there are a lot of 6x6 for sail up north.and with gas prices i have to add about $500 round trip cant people in ga,or tenn,or sc sell some of theirs. I'm from buffalo and would hate to visit my family to buy one from Amphiman or any of you other guys in western ny. but we will be up there in july so maybe then. Visit family,pick up webers,hot dogs and 6x6 not a bad vacation.

What, no Whitehots or beef on weck?

Western NY does seem to be a hotbed of amphibious sales. I'm sure Recreatives has something to do with it, as do JP, Hmike, Amphiman, Eric, Dan, and anyone I may have missed.

[mdmheine]

well i think the roast beef ,pizza,subs,and wings goes without saying, also the bison chip dip.and who could resist o teds hot dog or a louie's texas hots

I believe most machines were built by companies in the northeast. Some other companies that built quite a few machines over the years were up north like Attex in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Scrambler in Cleveland, Ohio.
There were only a few companies that built machines in the south or out west such as Hustler in Jonesboro Arkansas, Allis Chalmers Terra Tiger in South Carolina, Camel Centipede in Knoxville Tennessee, Sidewinder in Evergreen Colorado, and Chaparral in Denver Colorado.
When I lived in Atlanta I rode hundreds of miles into rural Alabama and Georgia on my sport bike in search of some old 6 wheelers that I might be able to pick up, but I never even saw one.

Hey Dave,

Maybe your wife and mine should get together. She wants to know where the smilie is with a strait jacket for me if I start another project.

[mdmheine]

i have bid on several maxes way up north so i was glad to not get them.hustler size i like.i like the idea of true skid stear.I have used a skid stear loader at work and it is fun to drive.So in other words you guys have sold me on the T-20
well my wife thinks we all need straight jackets, she is a nurse with a mental health background so she has figured me out and she is still here lucky me(i'm still here)

I have run across several Max II's here in NC in the past month or two if you would be interested.

Depends on what you mean by up North

There seams to be a short supply of them here in Ontario Canada even the over priced ones are selling faster then you can respond to the ad. It is great when you are selling one but bad when you are buying one. Seriously the prices I see used ones for around me I would just save up and by a new one. I consider myself very lucky to have bought the ones I did for the prices I got them for.

The pricing for used AATVs is not unlike the stock market. I've noticed that there are cyclical trends.

When I bought my first pair of machines, I think the community of people interested in these was much smaller. I remember only having to compete with Don at one point to pick up an Attex. I picked up 3 or 4 machines that were in decent shape for between $500 and $700.

About 5 years ago Dave C. stirred up quite a bit of interest in these particular machines with his website. The price of an Attex tripled! They stayed pretty high for a few years and then started coming down again.

Last year Mike bought this awesome site online and I've watched the membership grow. As the membership grew, the demand for used machines also grew.

It's the old "Double Edged Sword"...we want the hobby/sport to gain more exposure but in doing so, we've also begun competing with each other for the machines we want... so the prices are going up again.

Fortunately for me, I have enough machines (about 4) that I only have to buy more when the price is too good to say no.
