[Farmall] Cub Low Boy 185

Tue Apr 18 17:26:33 PDT 2006

AU-
  One other point...maybe I did not catch it but, does this 185 have  attachments other than the deck?   3 pt, blades, etc?  If  there are implements included in the "asking price" that certainly  would scale up the value.  Delivery distance is another factor, I  would imagine.
  I am "in the hunt" for a 982.  I have yet to see it but, even if  it is a "Barbie Doll" it lives a good hike from my house.  
  If you like the machine and feel that owning it would bring you  enormous happiness....Well....I suppose that it can't be a GREAT deal  at $2500 and a "rip off" at $2900.00.  See my point?  Good  Low Boys are far from being commonplace and if the one in question sets  your heart aflutter, remember that one can ALWAYS get more money  somehow but beautifully crafted and maintained items (lawn mowers  included) don't come along every day.
  It is, afterall, your money and who am I to kick the tires of someone  else's dream?  Make a good decision.  Best of luck.
