Interesting, something I've never thought of, I've never gotten a
bill of sale for a used tractor. I did buy them through auctions,
which I suppose shields me a bit. No titles for tractors, or
implements for that matter.<br>

to go and view the Kubota 2301. It was located right in
the heart of Providence, RI and the last place you would
expect a tractor. The tractor is a 2017 B2301 with 154
hours on it. The initial impression was that it looked
good. Closer inspection showed some scratches on the
hood and the holes in the radiator screen. One of the
headlights was also cracked. It looks like someone ran
into some sharp brush which cracked the head light and
poked holes in the radiator screen. The bucket was
straight and the loader had no slop in it . The loader
picked up the tractor with no issues. The three point
worked as it should. Some negatives I saw. The loader
pins did not have much visible grease out of the
fittings. The next thing I noticed is that the oil
filter was still the original Kubota grey color. I have
been lead to believe that replacements are white in
color. The new owner states that the original owner had
the 50 hour service done but I am suspicious. The
biggest item I saw was that when I asked for a
title/certificate of origin, he said that he didn't get
one from the previous owner. I am almost positive that
you have to have some type of documentation for a
machine like this to prove ownership. Is there a way to
determine if this tractor was stolen? The new owner was
also concerned that he may have a "hot" tractor. If
there is a method or web site you can point me to it
would be greatly appreciated.</span> <br>
