Craigslist? Local for sale ads? There is also a for sale forum on this site.

I always get my kids to post stuff for me on local facebook market place.
I used to use Kijiji, they seem to eclipsed Auto Trader here in Canada.....but every time I listed something on those two sites I got nothing but scam replies. You know, the ones that are in foreign broken english asking you to put in shipping container and send and they will send cheque, LOL

I have used FB Market Place most recently, Craigslist and BOTH have scammers on them. Word of mouth and if you have Nextdoor that can be good. Some of the big tractor sites will allow a private owner to list with them. Do you have a place you can park it with good visibility and is safe?

I use market place exclusively. Craigslist is 90 percent scammers and I don’t look or list there.

All the tractor dealers I use have bulletin boards you can post on

Seems like FB Marketplace is a great way to advertise "steal to order" items. All your personal info including where you live is available in one convenient place.


In Canada you can try Kijiji. For your safety Kijiji now plays man-in-the-middle with all communications and obfuscates buyer and sellers from each other. It's like having the phone company purposely hiding all call display data to make it harder to block spammers/scammers.

Tractor House is one avenue as would be equipment trader. Tractor house has a fairly decent rate for the advertisement. They did a book value on mine when they called, I would say it was pretty much spot on from what I learded.

Last tractor I sold 3 years ago I listed on craigslist in three nearby cities and tractorhouse free listing. Sold it in one weekend. Had 20+ responses primarily from Craigslist. Not one scammer.

If I see a Kubota ad I assume it will be a scam.
Many others will also.
Try to get something local in pics, and don't use a gmail address.

I've sold two Kubotas on Craigslist without any complications or hassles. I post many photos and write a detailed description, which might indicate a for-real sale vs. scammers. Because a local sale is easier due to transportation issues, my buyers have been fairly local. And I helped a friend sell a big Deere of CL as well, no problems.

Facebook Marketplace is probably going to be your best bet. A lot of people that are buying look there

Just sold my bigger tractor on CL; had a good number of responses, no scammers, got what I wanted, on CL, got a few scammers from Marketplace, no solid bites there. I did say on CL if you're deployed in the Persian Gulf or similar hellhole but can send you brother with a check to pickup, save both our time.

For what it’s worth (no pun intended) I’m looking for a B2106. I would be interested in the details on your offering.

Tractor House is international. I sell equipment on there. Nice3 folks to deal with and their ad rates are fair. Just sold a NH 575 square bailer and had them appraise it. I sold it for just under what they appraised it at.

I just sold my B2601. I had it advertised in CL and Marketplace. The buyer found it on CL, however, I had another guy that wanted to come out at the same time from Marketplace.

Had I waited just one more day, I would have sold it for more than my listing price. I had lots of interest.

The tractor sold in 5 days.
