( 
4. Top speed of 40 km/h. No one in the U.S. has used the metric system since Jimmy Carter. 

This is obviously a case of identity theft, by someone outside of the United States. )

I'm not commenting on whether the auction is a scam or not (which it very well may be) but rather on the km/hr. The digital dash on my TN reads out in KM/HR

Hey amd with the Worldwide shipping, at least in this case the buyer needs to pay for it. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

front hitch refers to lift arms that is a 3pt hitch on the front. radar is built in like a policemans radar gun pointed at the ground so the operator knows how fast he's going. very important when spraying chemicals to get the right rate when tires are slipping at recommended rate. I won't guess about it being legit or not but I would expect one of these to sell for close to 100,000 to150,000.

It interesting to see the scams popping up. The folks here on TBN watching the yanmar and tractors in general and there is a radio website www.batlabs.com that keep a watch over motorola radio's sold on ebay.

FOUND IT!!! FOund where the photo is from.. I think we can pretty much make this as a scam!!!!!

Check out this

I figured I would check out JD equipment finder to see what the price ranges was. I noticed that the "desciription" on ebay looked like a screen scrap from JD finder pages. I couldnt find any dealers in dallas with 7810 then I rememeber the 175hp vs everyone elses 150.. I search on 175hp and out poped a bunch of european sites. Searched through them and BINGO!!!!

I dropped a note to ebay with my findings.

Nice job. I am confident that no one from TBN would have "fallen" for this deal. But perhaps someone has been saved considerable aggravation and avoided serious financial loss.

You all may know that Bird is our official "Chief of TBN Police." Maybe he should consider swearing in a few "deputies" or forming up a "posse" --- if this is going to be a regular part of your TBN time.

With 74,000 unique visits a month, hopefully someone who thinks of bidding on these scams visit here and gets an eye-opening /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But, Bird.... this would be a ceremonial position... sort of like Dick Cheney. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif All you would have to do is occaisionally raise your right hand and bless a few TBN'ers, pop a top (or two), and click on index. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
