[AT] gravely sickle mower

[Larry D. Goss]

Humm.  That would make a difference alright.  I shipped out a 500# crate
of tractor parts to the east coast last spring for less than $100.  But
I have access to pallets and crates, I have my own strapping equipment,
and I delivered it to the trucking company's loading dock.  

Most of the websites that I found this morning have expired or are no
longer available, and I found no place with any good prices except for
an eBay offering where the starting bid is $399.  Apparently there are
both four and five horsepower models of this machine and it comes with
one of three different cutting bars.  I'll check it out.

I really do not remember what they are selling for now.  I found a
couple on E-bay that sold for around $450, but the shipping was going
to be almost that since it was a residential pickup and the owner had
to farm out the crating etc.....
