Looking for used attachments

[rlee6]

When I was looking for a used tractor, I had many to choose from. But as I am looking for used implements, I am seeing nothing advertised. Am I looking at a wrong place (magazine)? Or people just don't sell implements? Thanks.

rlee6-
I think it depends on your geographics. You have a better chance if some of the dealers in your area service farms. While looking at tractors, both new and used, I saw all sorts of stuff laying around. Check around your local swapper magazines as well. Up here in N.E., we have a great thing called thewantadvertiser.com You name it, it's available. You can get magazines (around here) or try that website. But being in Fla., it's probably not that helpfull for you. I'd say do a google on used farm equipment or tractor parts. Or look here too.
Good luck

I've got half a dozen tractor dealers within easy driving distance of me. All of them have huge lots full of used equipment that you can spend hours wandering through, runs the full range from lawn equipment to BIG farm equipment. Even if they don't have exactly what you need it gives you a pretty good idea what's available. Watch for equipment auctions, farm sales or even garage or estate sales on farms.

I haven't looked to see what web sites may be applicable to your area but have a look at agdealer for an example of what to expect. Most dealers I am aware of have a yard full and more of used implements. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Do a search for Florida Market Bulletin, also look at auctions. Kissimee Auctions just had a huge one.
Here's another good one. Look to left and choose your city or use advanced search and choose multiples.used stuff nationwide
Good luck.

Locally we have a few dealers selling implements and a flyer called the Trading Post that has everything from Hay to baby items in it. The trader is not found in the Supermarket and such, but at the little country stores like Mom and Pop places. It is actually a pretty hot item, comes out on Wed and sold out on Sat. It may be down your way, lots of good deals. Anyway always put a good eye to what you are buying used. I have bought a 5' boxscraper and a regular blade from a local dealer with some mixed results. When I bought the box I could tell it was a little torx at the top link but ended up working find. Saved about $200. Bought the regular to scrape snow, a heavy duty with both vertical and horizontal adjustment. It looked fairly good, a little torxed but hey he knocked and extra $75 when I pointed it out. Worked pretty good until I pulled it up and carried it a distance. One edge dropped as the pin could not kept it in place because of the play, just a little too torxed. I will be able to fix it but I was not that happy. From what the dealer said that there is a lot of stuff wrecked by using a too big tractor for the size implement.

I have run into the same problem around here trying to find attachments.
What few I do find around here are priced like gold.

And others I find that are reasonably priced are too far away to go get.
For shipping costs I could buy new equipment here.

I'm starting to think people around here would rather let it rust into
the ground before they sell it for a reasonable price.

Don't know about your area, but around here you can drive out through rural areas and smaller towns and find small used equipment lots fairly easily. Finding exactly what you want may take a while. Most of the land in this area is farm and ranch land so it may not be typical of your area.
