Depends on price and how much I wanted them. I normally don't make guys jump through hoops to sell something- sometimes, the less interaction with them, the better. I'd probably have gone down in the back field by myself on #3.

Since I usually buy at auction, I wouldn't be too concerned about demonstrating the baler, unless he was asking a top price.

But I would have walked, just like you, on #1- there's a certain amount of prep that's expected when one is selling, like having a machine ready to run, if its being sold that way. Dead battery? Well, maybe- but put a "loaner" battery in it until you sell it. But out of gas? Come on. . .at some point, the lameness of the owner translates into concerns about maintenance and usability of his equipment. If you want to sell it, have it ready.

Wife and I went to look at a diesel pickup- it seemed too expensive for the description, but was close by. When we got there, the guy had not one, but two vehicles pulled up to jump it, one on each battery. Went to get in, and wife jumped back- "I'm not getting in that thing."- Inside was so damp that mold and MUSHROOMS were growing on the seats. It obviously hadn't been started in months. We told him not to bother starting it (it wasn't going to, anyhow), we weren't interested. He started yelling about "tire kickers", we just waved and drove off.

That was a year and a half ago, and the rig hasn't moved.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
