Okay, thanks for letting me know. I won’t be in the market for one that price for a while tho.

What price were you expecting?

 

[LAWN BOY]

What price were you expecting?

Idk. It’s been a long time since I’ve checked the price on new tillers and I have no idea what a seller might want for something.

 

[Ryan Browne]

I’m probably going to pass since I just got the used tiller and need to save money, but how much would you be looking to get for it?

Well they are $1070 new here so a reasonable offer.

Call me crazy, but I think he was looking for A price. Like, for you to tell him what your selling price is. I think that's why he asked what you were looking to get for it.

 

[LAWN BOY]

Cleaned the gas tank for the tiller today. Ordered a carb rebuild kit for it as well.

Do you think he was serious?

Speaking of tillers...found this one in a snow bank with the TL230. Bent the wheel and axle but may be salvageable. Gotta see if it runs.

So what is the going rate for a yard?

lol, I mean it as in a garage sale in our yard… I’m selling stuff on our lawn rather than in our garage

I know what you meant.......my comment was a joke.

Now having spent a lot of time in Wisconsin chasing saws and farm equipment I will tell ya selling beer and fireworks at your yard sale will get a lot more traffic. Just put up signs that say......yard sale, free beer and fireworks..... Of course that is the hook. They come rolling in and you tell them it is a free Blatz and Black Cats with a $10 purchase.
Of course have a parent precide.

Hell if they buy $50 give them a Potosi

What did you think of running the skid steer? The ones with modern controls are like playing a video game.

Try a ole M-600

Ran an old Gehl with straight hydraulics not bad once used to it. I prefer pilot controls over those and electric over hydraulic....simple...less input movement....no lag.

 

[Bill G]

I have no idea how to run the modern stuff. I started on Case with simple hand control then went to Bobcat with those goofy foot controls

Haha. I hear ya. Seams pretty easy to get used to any of them...then the others feel weird in comparison. Reminds of going from a Case backhoe to Cat and Hitachi excavators...wrist, shoulder, elbow is all discombobulated.

It was actually easier to use than I thought it’d be. Yeah, it was a modern CAT 259D3.
