A really wonderful and nicely loaded trailer. The engine operates powerful as well as the transmission shifts great. May be purchased and view it and you'll see how nice it really is.

do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

My two trailers don't even have transmissions! Did I get cheated??

This morning I posted a sprayer for sale on CL. Within an hour I had two responses - both from scammers. Thankfully they're easy to spot since their English is so bad.

Wouldn't a self propelled cargo trailer with good engine and transmission actually be a cargo van??.

And for some reason there always $1,050 or there abouts. Like a 2018 kubota cabbed tractor for $1,050

It's got nothing to do with being dumb...you occasionally see posts here on TBN where folks mistakenly post replies to the wrong threads...
The CL scammers post thousands of ads 24/7...they are going to get some mixed up...

They spend a lot of time with their scams but the really sad part is if they didn't work they would not be wasting their time...they would be working elsewhere for ways to get something for nothing...

Are we talking about the people who post them? ....or the people that fall for them?

newbury, maybe you have not considered the top of the line trailers before. lol

Saw a large Kubota few days ago with low price an gave info on the MMM. Don't remember the model but way past mmm tractor.

Had a set of plants for sale couple of years back a scammer hit me on them. I finally told him he was a scammer and he acted like it really offended him.
