Yeah, they have had that M for a couple years. It has a few implements that go with it. I asked Bob if he wanted to sell just the sickle mower off but they wouldn't seperate the package at the time. That is one thing I would like for mine so that I can use it to maintain around the ponds and ditches.

If I recall their price wasn't too bad for the complete package. They did a nice job painting it up (I didn't look it over up close) and these small tractors do not take up much room.

I did have a second M that I sold last year. I paid $1500 for it not running with a crappy paint job and messed up front axle. It came with cultivators, front blade and a plow. I sold the front blade, front wheel weights and tractor and all I did was add a battery to the tractor as well as a simple tune up. Made around $1k and I still have the cultivator and plow (the plow is going to leave some day) and hopefully I find a nice sickle mower for the M as that tractor is so much fun to operate (I love the long hood designs of the older tractors)
