I don't think it is dishonest or I wouldn't do it. You quite obviously read my profile and attacked where you felt would offend me the most, my honesty.
I provided information and advise to others of how to be a bit more secure in purchasing a used tractor and there is rarely 100% security in any business dealing. Especially in anything used. You can even buy a new tractor from a dealer that doesn't process the information and takes the money and runs or just doesn't process the contract properly.
Interesting that two guys that contribute on an open Kubota tractor forum and refuse to post any information about themselves. That to me seems pretty dishonest and suspect. What don't you want people to know about you? What are you hiding? Hide behind a hedge and throw insults, yep you two are obviously the most honorable open honest guys on the forum.
