Chris, ebay has become the breeding grounds for the sneakiest bunch or bottom feeding last minute bidding b@stards that are on the planet. That being said, you have to join them if you are going to beat them. Basically you have to lower yourself to their behavior and be better at it than they are. If I bid ahead of time on 10 items I will not get 9 out of 10 because nobody will bid on it all week and somebody will take it in the last 10 seconds and outbid you by a dollar or two. If I can't be home now at the end of an auction I won't bother bidding anymore. I was bidding on a ditch witch one day and it went through the week before with no bids at $5000. Next week it was listed for $4500 and I couldn't be there for the end so I put a bid of $5100.So the bid sat there all week at the opening of $4500. Of course a lowlife came along in the last ten seconds and bid $4600 but he was still the low bidder. So he quickly came in again and bid$4900 and was still outbid. Now the dumb%ss was in a panic so he put in a bid of $5100 which was my highest bid. Since I bid $5100 before him I got the trencher. When I looked at the bid history I never laughed so hard in my life. I thought, finally one of these A holes gets paid back for the millions that don't. And the trencher is a jewel. I would rather use the buy it now feature on ebay but if I want something really bad I wait till the end and drill them with a high bid and usually win. Just had to do it on some snowmobile cylinders the other day. I have dial up but I have it figured out because I know how long it takes to send in my bid for the most part. Just have the old watch ready. Good luck if you do it. It's about like mad max from thunderdome on there. Just make sure you are mad max and not one of the bottom feeders!

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
