eBay/Craigslist I bought the 2006 Kioti on eBay!

Thanks to gravel13 's headsup, I checked the auction for the CK 20 with the Woods backhoe, Sims Cab, and 54" bucket on eBay and won the auction.

I was interested in the CK30 for our blueberry farm (childsblueberries.com) but today at the dealers, I noticed that they are really just too wide for our rows.

I need to spray now and again and wanted the cab for that and the backhoe to dig out old plants for replacement. Could not be more pleased.

Thank you all for your input. I have been reading posts for about a year doing my research and such and the forums really help. When I talked to the dealer about the Woods 4 pt. backhoe or the problems with the curved loader arms, it is nice to be educated. Again...this farmer appreciates all of your help!

CONGRATS on your purchase! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I know you'll be just as happy and satisfied with you tractor as everybody here is with theirs.
Welcome to pack.

Man, you did good! Are you nervous until the deal closes? Big Ebay purchases involve some sweating and hand wrenching..... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif!

Nervous? A little. Talked with the guy on the phone who sold it and he seems nice...very up and up. Said 80 people were watching and he answered 40 questions...just no one bid. As he said, eBay is a gamble where sometime you come out ahead and sometimes you don't.

I will be glad when the deal closes but I already was pre-approved at the bank, so I hope to have this wrapped up and the tractor home by Tuesday p.m. God willing!

I've been very fortunate on Ebay, but then again the biggest deal was $1250, and i did some sweating until i could "coon finger" the item and make sure it was in running order. Good luck and let us here know when you get 'er home!

The biggest deal I ever did on Ebay was $6,000 and it turned out just fine.

You got a lot of stuff for the money, a great deal. Congratulations.

Fantastic deal you got. You'll love the tractor.

It is a good deal but it exceeded the reserve the seller has set so I feel okay about it.

Can chains go on this unit with the backhoe attached?

Good for you CBB, you got yourself a nice tractor.
I sold my JD on ebay about two months ago and it was a surprisingly pleasant experience. There are some crooks lurking in the background ready to take advantage when an opportunity presents itself but most buyers and sellers are good, honest people.
