[QUOTE="farmhandtom, post: 111276, member: 18789"] I'd really appreciate your help. I bought an acreage last year and decided to purchase a new 2019 Bobcat Toolcat 5600 to help me plant 75 trees, move around brush, etc. I put 100 hours on it in the first 45 days... then I used it a couple hours per month from then on...and decided to sell it. Six months ago, I sold it for the too-low price of 43,500 (included a bucket & forks.) I had paid $57,000 for the new machine a few months earlier. I also had a 72" grapple that I advertised for $2200 (purchase new for $3500). The guy drives 10 hours to come pick it up...and when he arrives he notices a 'rattling sound' that bothers him. I hadn't noticed it before. He wants to purchase the Toolcat + 72" Grapple... so I tell him "Go ahead and take the grapple... get the rattling sound looked at & fixed and just send me a payment for the difference." In addition, the 'boots' had become damaged & I also told him to replace those - and just send me a payment for the difference.
