    Theres one for sale local with little rust and solid deck so i need the scoop. The good? The bad? The ugly? Waiting to hear if he is interested in trading some cord wood for it. Whats something like this worth?

    The tractor is a Simplicty 7016 that has been rebadged. I would grab it especially if it has a hitch. If in good condition I would give several cords of wood for it.

    stopped in to follow up on this over the weekend. he never called me bacause he wasnt interested in firewood.
    he ended up letting it go for $300, including sickle bar! nobody mention anything about a sickle bar to me. i think i coulda found the 300 clams if that were the case....
    buddy of his has a bolens 1700. no mower deck or anything comes with it, asking $400.

    Is also a good place. It competes with MTF the forum Nate mentioned. I think TBN has a bit more traffic as well.
