Some people ask way more than even they think it is worth just in case a sucker comes along.

| Part of it might be that steve but the other part is everyone wants a "deal" everyone thinks they should get a break or special price. Can't do that unless you list it really high to start with. |

| I'd pay more for a non computerized tractor vs buying one that you would need a high price tech to come to the farm and fix. Think about it, how many people on this site talk about computer diagnostics on their tractors!!! |

A lot of Yankees up in the northeast apparently have delusions about what farm machinery is worth. I can't believe the prices some of the dealers up in Pennsylvania ask for stuff. |

Then again maybe the wife said "Get rid of that junk". With something over priced so much the honest answer is "Nobody's called".
------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Not in the case, that's a dealer listing it, and as I noted earlier they're ALWAYS goofy. |

| I just noticed in that first posting how long do you think it has been sitting outside with a broken mulfer letting rain run down the exaust? |

Probably a long time, looks like it has never been parked in a shed. |

Is it s John Deere dealer that has got it? Maybe they have been inhaling green paint fumes.  |

| Makes you want to take something there and ask them to buy it off you... but I bet when it is traded it or bought they don't have half that value.... |

Not a Deere dealer, they're an AGCO and other dealer. |
