Just a wild hair. Since equipment searches go to the far flung reaches, how easily do you members think it would be to find someone to give a preliminary inspection on a machine prior to traveling 100's of miles only to find out it was misrepresented? I'm not talking free. Post up and see if there's someone in the area, take it offline and work out the details. Might save lots of grief. I've done it for others on farm machinery (free ) Just thinking out loud
It's been done here on occasion and we don't have a problem with that. Any member can post such a request in the general questions forum or the forum specific to the type of machine they are interested in. Heavy Equipment Forums.com assumes no responsibility in these agreements.
