Perhaps the seller is confusing MPH for KPH?!! He wouldn't be the first (recall the great minds at NASA made this error a few years ago and crashed a $100+M Mars lander as a result....) More likely however the seller is blowing smoke or he's just full of s*** - probably both! Observations: 1 - Decals and lights make says it's a regular M, not a Super. Already the seller's credibility is questionable... 2 - A stock M is good for about 16 MPH in road gear. To get to 35 you either need to run the motor around 3,500 RPM (wow!) or else somehow regear the rear end to cut the final drive ratio in half (theoretically possible, but unlikely without spending LOTS of $) 3 - Only a lunatic would run an NF tractor at the speed the seller claims it will run - especially so with the NF wheels set wide as shown in the photo! I suggest the reality is we have a standard, barnyard variety M which an uninformed, overly optimistic seller is trying to turn into some fast bucks.
