I'm in Alabama bought a kubota from them march 2025, did it all remote cause im 8 hours away, shipping took 8 days and the trucker called me when he was an hour out, machine was strapped down good no damage, id say go for it but make sure you get a pic of it loaded before it leaves their yard

hey danny did you happen to ask if they have any backhoe attachments laying around?? I need a loader/backhoe combo for my property and cant tell from pics if the mounts are there or if its just the tractor, also are case backhoes any good or should I look for a deere, never owned a case before and don't wanna get stuck with something that breaks down

@sarah_j case backhoes are solid man I ran a 580 for years, the farmall 50b can definitely handle a bh attachment but you need the subframe mounts, if the tractor already has a loader the mounts might be there just need the backhoe end, ask them specifically if the quick attach is included cause sometimes they yank the buckets and sell separate, also check the hydraulic lines for cracks if its been sitting, case hydraulics are strong but old lines like to leak after a while

appreciate it jim! called them just now and the son said the loader is included but backhoe is separate 3k more, might just get the tractor and find a used hoe locally, thanks for the heads up on the lines ill check if i go see it

@DannyP did they give you an actual invoice or just an email saying send money here?? when I bought from them feb 2025 they sent me a proper invoice with their business info and everything which made my bank feel better, if they didnt send one yet ask for it, makes it feel more legit

go for it danny, bought a case farmall 45c from them nov 2024, driver waited while I checked it over.

update yall - pulled the trigger on the case 50b, wired the 50% last tuesday, they sent me pics of it loaded on friday, showed up yesterday morning, trucker was cool gave me 30 mins to check it over, fired right up, hydraulics strong, only thing was a flat tire but he had a compressor and aired it up, sent the final payment after I ran it around my field, happy with it so far, thanks everyone for the replies, they are legit.

bought a deere from them oct 2024, paid up front and the truck showed up a week later, machine was fine but had 150 more hours than they told me over the phone, I noticed right away cause the pedals were worn more than 400 hours should be, called the dad and he basically said "auction block says 400 we list 400" so they dont verify anything, gave me 200 off but still annoying, machine runs good though just be aware they go by whats stamped not whats real

how does delivery work exactly?? like does the truck driver wait while you inspect it or does he just drop it and leave, im nervous about having some random trucker dump a broken tractor in my driveway and drive off, do they give you time to check fluids and stuff before he takes off or is it rush rush

#11 · Aug 9, 2025

@RustyNails for me the driver waited while I started it and checked the fluids, took about 20 mins, he was cool about it sat in his cab and had a smoke, didnt rush me at all, but i guess it depends on the driver, ask Farm and Harvest Machinery specifically what the process is cause every hauler is different

bought a yanmar from them back in may 2024, price was great 7k, started ok but gearbox grinding in first, drained oil metal shavings everywhere, called seller said its normal for auction used, pushed back he gave me a mechanic number, 600 repair runs good now wish they told me tho, mixed review, cheap but not honest about condition

#13 · Dec 3, 2025

bought a massey from them april 2025, when it showed up the paint was fresh wet like they sprayed it the morning of shipping, looked good in pics but in person you could see they painted over rust on the fenders, machine runs fine but dont trust the cosmetics, they definitely roll em out with rattle cans before shipping, if you dont care about looks its fine but if youre expecting original paint youll be disappointed

anyone had issues getting the title from them?? im in florida too and dmv here is picky, did they send it fast or am i gonna be sitting on a tractor i cant register for months, also is it a clean title or some auction salvage nonsense

#15 · Feb 13, 2026

@Jenna_L title came with the tractor basically, was in the cab in an envelope when it rolled off the truck, signed clean no problems, easiest paperwork ive ever done buying used equipment

#16 · Apr 22, 2026

got a nh from them jan 2026, whole thing was smooth as butter, 6 days shipping to texas, trucker helped me unload with his ramps, machine was exactly like the video they sent, title came in 9 days, no bs at all.

reached out about a kubota they had listed, communication was very slow so I skipped them
