Indiana Ag News Headlines USAgNet / IN Ag Connection Launches TractorSearch.com Indiana Ag Connection - 10/16/2009 Farm producers across North America now have a new online tool at their disposal when looking for new and used farm equipment to purchase. USAgNet LLC has launched TractorSearch.com, a Web-based listing service for farm equipment dealers to post their products for prospective consumers to browse. USAgNet President Pat Sternitzky says the site fills a void for both buyers and sellers of quality farm machinery. "This project came about after some of our dealer-customers requested a more cost-effective way to advertise their equipment listings online," Sternitzky said. "Many stores are paying expensive fees to farm equipment magazines, which often have their own Websites. But the dealers felt they can get more bang for their buck by using an 'Internet company,' rather than a magazine publisher to handle their online marketing needs." Sternitzky says the site will soon have the option for farmers to post their own private listings. And social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are also being implemented to help promote the new program. TractorSearch.com kicks-off with thousands of pieces of equipment already submitted by over 50 Wisconsin farm implement dealers. The site will now open its services to stores across the United States and Canada. USAgNet was started in 1996 as an agricultural search engine. It was acquired by Wisconsin Ag Connection in 2002 and now serves as a portal for the company's 15 'State' Ag Connection sites and FarmEquipmentFinder.com, which is a similar service for equipment manufacturers. The company also designs Websites for dealers, manufacturers and other agricultural clients throughout the nation. The new site can be viewed at www.TractorSearch.com. Copyright © 2010 - USAgNet.com.
