You might get lucky and get one if there are any remaining in stock 
anywhere.  However, Alltrax no longer builds the DCX300-ET controller.  

The DCX300 range had gotten quite aged, and they've replaced it with a new 
series.  Unfortunately, sales of the DCX300-ET model weren't large enough 
to 
justify the cost of developing an ET model for the new range.  There just 
weren't enough ET owners interested in that kind of improvement, I guess.

Word is that Jim Coate is now selling a GE controller set up for ETs with 
wound field motors.  Unfortunately it's not cheap, but then the Alltrax 
wasn't either, there at the end.  And IMO the improvement in tractor 
usability with a PWM controller is worth the cost, but that's just me.
