First, let me say that when you buy a tractor "at auction", you are more likely than not, going to get something that someone else is "trying to get rid of". Some private, or estate sales don't fall into this catagory. I buy and sell around 15 tractors a year. (I'd sell more, if people would buy more!) This year has seen 17 so far. I DO NOT and WILL NOT "INTENTIONALLY" mis-lead anyone. I won't sell anything that I wouldn't use myself. HOWEVER.....I'm not going to run out to all my "potential buyers" and start telling them "everything that's wrong". If you're buying a used tractor, you should EXPECT it to be in "USED" condition. A tractor starts well, but the battery 5 years old? No, they can see that for themselves. The rods knock when it warms up? Well it wouldn't be for sale at my place. Not everyone will stand behind their "product". Some won't even stand NEAR it. The best way to make certain you "get what you pay for", is to be an informed buyer. Over the years, I've bought and sold about 350 tractors. I've got burned on a few too. (Including a "fairly new" one last summer. I bought it from a dealer that I DID business with for years. He knew what was wrong, and failed to tell me. It was an $7500 repair.) You can't always trust some people, when it comes to money.
