Yeah kinda sounds like another Craigslist scam.

West Kentucky Tractor who are in the business of selling salvage tractors and parts hardly sells ones that cheap. www.wkytp.com

Actually this looks legit to me. All scam posters I've seen don't include telephone numbers. Also, they are usually lo balling excellent machines with absolutely no hours.

If I was in Hot Lanta my ears would be perking.

Don't believe it is a scam after seeing the pictures and like Ach said most scams don't include phone numbers. In the photos you can see that there doesn't appear to be wheels or tires on the machines. The location is way down in South Georgia near Brunswick. Things are a bit different down there. Very rural. That's not a bad thing. I probably should have posted it under Buy Sell and Trade but wasn't thinking. My bad.

"... a bit different?" <g> I'm about a hour WSW of of Jesup (around Douglas) and almost thought about riding up there and checking things out.

Yeah, for this Atlanta native, you may be right... "a bit different" (what with all the education scandals around here). But, then, if I were still in Atlanta, I could say the same, no? <g> Just shoot straight and expect the same in return - which would be good advice anywhere. These people can be a little xenophobic, but I found that at Auburn as well. Honesty and forthrightness will always win the day.

Note, also, that there is a large paper mill in Jesup - and the local Kubota dealer has placed some tractors up that way, I believe. That could be where these are coming from.
