If Bidder the one with 100% bidding with the seller is a shill then why
didn't he go over or up to the reserve price to force the next bidder
over. The tractor went unsold. I think that you are wrong on this one.
Beside $4000 is pretty cheap for that tractor.

 I have had this happen before on trucks, and I have reported it to E-bay.
