The cab alone is 6+k....... why would you think they could sell the tractor this cheap ? Most dealers will buy equipment if the price is right. I assume if they just want out of it this would be the fastest cash available. Scams are always 3 states away so you can't see them. If they are not located within a couple hours away from your location you can bet someones fishing. Don't get in the boat !

The sad thing is the scammers know that law enforcement has no interest in chasing them down and they are brazen and will push and push and push. My neighbor tried to sell her truck online, first day guy offers to buy, sends her a bank check and said his tow truck would be there the next day. She said, hold-on, want the check to clear, goes to bank, bank states check is fraudulent, right routing number, bad account number. She calls the FBI, the say, LOL LOL LOL, this is call one of thousands we get. Tell the bank, she said she did and the bank said call the authorities. Neither the bank nor the authorities have any resources or interest in chasing down.

Meanwhile the guy calls two days later and said can the tow truck come and pick up the car?? She said, are you nuts, I know the check is bogus, he hung up.

These guys know there is no one chasing them and they don't care.

This has to be a scam
TractorByNet.com Classifieds Item 609359934 - 2007 Kubota L 3940 W/ATTACHMENTS

Yeah Pine, thats either a scam or the deal of a lifetime. I'm guessing the attachements alone are worth the asking price.

Here's another poor scam:
2001 JOHN DEERE 4700-$4750
http://www.ssbtractor.com/photo_classifieds_search.cgi

and what I supect may be an original:
2001 JOHN DEERE 4700 40 HP to 99 HP For Sale At TractorHouse.com

We should all send an email to the scammer from anonymous accounts.

There is a scammer network out there. They scam on Craig's List. I was looking for a used Zero Turn mower and was lulled by the low price and nice looking photos. On closer look all the photos were taken in a sales show room. The Craig's seller claimed to be in military service deployed to Afganistan. All I needed to do was send a money order and the mower would be delivered to my door by the by the Army! Some people have no shame!
I later found the same MO on Craig's selling used cars below blue book price. This time claimed to be a woman and single Mom in the US Army. I reported these ads to Craig's list. Didn't see their ads for a while but today I saw one for a 2009 John Deere mower for $1900.

Just realize - NEVER buy off craigslist without safely doing a hands on inspection, maybe even being backed up by police.

A local farmer purchased a kubota tractor off Kijiji 4 years ago. This February he sent it to the dealer for service. A few weeks latter the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) showed up on his farm with a trailer and hauled it away. It was stolen 4 years ago.
