I would be all over that if I was anywhere near Houston and could check the tractor out.

The ole "Buyer Beware" may apply. Looks like he is having a dealer sell it, so it is surprising they did not tell him the real value. Around here if the story is really true it would bring $10,000 for an emergency quick sale more if you want to sit on it. Im would try to get someone here on TBN to take a look at for me. Worth a good commission if it is true.

10 years old and only 123 hours?

The pictures make it look good, EXCEPT that the seat and the floor pan don't look so very hot.

Given ads in 3 locations, he must really want to sell it too.

Maybe he has to split the sale price with the ex-wife.

Scam. See them every night like that on Craigslist.

That is the deal of a lifetime or a scam. I am going with scam until proven otherwise. One of those sites also has a 2011 B2620 with FEL and BH for $3000 too. I wish.

The area codes in the ad above are for Michigan (231) and Ohio (234) rather than Houston. I guess the "seller" must have to keep on the move.

I tried reverse phone # lookup and got this for both #s - -"Owner's name hidden by Whitepages for privacy reasons."

If Dealer was selling it - Dealer would have bought it from owner for asking price, then doubled the price then sold it themselves for a big profit.

I vote Scam.
