Of course it is a scam! 31hp engine in a BX?

Turbo charged and shimmed to the max.....lol

If it's too good to be true, most times it isn't.

Who is going to sell such a tractor with a FEL and BH for $1000? Come on ....

old widows that just want to get rid of something quickly, it DOES happen!.. I know someone that got a tractor with a FEL and backhoe from Connecticut for $1000!. it DOES happen, just make sure you bring cash with a trailer to transport it.. no tractor, no cash!..

IF such things happen, the next question is, who does the machine really belong to? We had low life, never do well renters here many years ago, who when finally leaving for not paying rent, tried (we heard later) to sell our tractor to neighbors.

When I’m on Craigslist and I see something I can afford I know right away it’s a scam.

I know the feeling.
:laughing:
A former coworker was looking a a John Deere down in Texas for an exceptionally low price... he was going to have his BIL go pick it up. Supposedly it belonged to her ex boyfriend, and she wanted to sell before he got back in town... which was why she was trying to sell it out of state. I don’t remember if it was real or what came out of it, but he didn’t end up buying it.

I suspect your email will be added to a list of potential "clients" for all manner of future scams and spam.
It's entirely possible that these ads are simply collecting email addresses.

Was once offered a BX c/w FEL and backhoe for $7, K (Can). Currently going average $20 K)
The crook was somewhat honest (?) in that he had claimed Toyota insurance saying it was stolen.
While tempting I turned it down. (I like to sleep at night)

The fact that they are always asking $1000 or so, for a pristine tractor which any tractor dealer would be very happy buy, for many times that amount, should be a clear indication to everyone that it isn't legitimate.

Sadly, it's not. :confused3:
