Best deal ever on a John Deere 955

TCowner · May 12, 2012

I would be willing to bet that if previous owner advertised the 955 for sale at $1500 some moron would have shown up and offered $900. One of the joys of trying to sell something yourself is listening to the insulting offers that you get no matter how you price your item.

Here are the pictures of my $1500.00 tractor working on my land in Trinity County CA. Pictures by berniemann - Photobucket

My first thought was I wonder if he'll take $1200 but my wife saw me thinking and gave me the stinkeye. It's worth every penny i paid for it. I've done so much work to my land and I'm just getting started.

Issssh, is that a tear in the seat? Ouch, I'll give you $1400 to take it off your hands (I'll have to get a new seat of course).

I will say I had images of a beaten old tractor being held together mostly by JB weld and duct tape with more hydraulic fluid flowing than Angle Falls, but now I'm really impressed. That tractor looks like it's in fantastic shape. I'm pretty sure you could be charged with some type of crime for taking it for $1500, even if the previous owner agreed to it :thumbsup:

Wow. For that amount of money you really did steal it. That is a great looking tractor. For $1500 I would have bought that thing if I had the chance - not like I'd need it, but for $1500 it would have been mine!!

I've been working the tractor pretty hard every day. Digging trenches, moving yards of soil, lots of firewood that I have cut up at various places around the property, and just clearing more land. All this and the only problem I had was a battery cable failed. Works pretty good. Even with the tear in the seat! Not sure how I did without it.:confused2:

I know what you mean about a counter offer. Some times I think its in my blood, but obviously you knew it was an amazing dealing already.

Around here if you stole a horse like that, we could lawfully string you up!
