I passed on a B2400 with loader and mmm for $4500.

[Joe Malovich]

Seller had originally listed a B2400 with loader and mmm on a online for sale site for 5,800 in non-running condition, I couldn't justify it at that price. My dad said I should lowball, I did and seller accepted $4,500, this was a sign of things to come.

Yesterday I go to look at it and maybe pick it up, here's what I found that wasn't in the original posting or the pictures:

• Rust and crudely welded repairs in many places
• not a single good piece of sheet metal
• seller was actively painting it with a "kubota color matched" rattle can but the color was too red and flat somehow making it even worse
• key ignition dangling
• dash cowling cracked in many places
• flat front tire
• bent lift arm
• bent in front lip on the mmm with the mmm wheels missing huge chunks
• the bucket was split along the bend at the bottom-back of the bucket somehow (and the top of the bucket was bent all to heck)
• engine cranked weakly but didn't fire, sounded like only one cylinder had compression
• loader wasn't mounted to the tractor, I don't know how we ere going to load it on the trailer without it rolling on the tractor

It really sucks because tractors are like gold here, I need one for many projects around the house/business, and I can get the wife to sign-off on paying more. I've fixed 2 other broken tractors this summer and made a profit but it was too far gone.

The seller wouldn't allow pictures?

 

[prof fate]

i see ads all the time 'tractor' or 'ford truck'...how about year, mileage, model or SOMETHING?

IF people reply to these ads, you'd think the poster would get those questions repeatedl so they'd change/update the ad to include them...

World if full of idiots.

Yup, and every seller seems to use the words mint shape, or excellent shape, and when you actually go look at it, you almost throw up. A lot seem to use other peoples pictures in the adds as well. If I,m interested in something with pictures in the add, my first 2 questions are, are those pictures of your item, and are they current pictures. LOL

What part of the country is this Kubota?

Right.. If I don't get pictures I don't go especially if it sounds to good to be true and drops the price $1300 over the phone..

And if I went and looked at it, and it looked as bad as original poster described, I'd take some pictures just to show others... especially if I was going to go on a forum and report about it!
