A few points to consider:
1. The seller has perfect feedback, but it looks like they have only bought in the past, never sold.
2. Worldwide shipper, classic tell tale sign of these scams.
3. Crazy low starting price.
The user name owner has probably had their user name stolen just because of their high feedback rating.
It is in my oh so humble opinion, a SCAM.

4. Top speed of 40 km/h. <font color="brown"> No one in the U.S. has used the metric system since Jimmy Carter. </font>
This is obviously a case of identity theft, by someone outside of the United States.

The other important part of checking feedback is to look at what the person is buying or selling.
The sellers only sales were back in 2001.
Recent purchases were for books and low ticket items. If the recent history showed mechanical equipment, parts, manuals, I'd be more inclined to follow through with some questions. Without a history of dealing in tractor type stuff, I'd tread very carefully.

I sent an email asking for an address and phone number, let's see if I even get a reply.
Another sign of a scam is the HIDDEN BIDDERS that is being used.
