• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      report.gif
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.
  • There has been a recent cluster of spammers accessing BARFer accounts and posting spam. To safeguard your account, please consider changing your password. It would be even better to take the additional step of enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your BARF account. Read more here.

I've seen imports on youtube, one with Kubota motor, maybe 2 ton.

Guy said under $2k, maybe before tarrifs.

There is already a Kubota L245DT. Not sure if they have backhoe attachment. Maybe a better choice? Runs but old.

Not familiar with these machines but need to move some dirt, nothing too serious.
 
We recently purchased a Chinese 3ton excavator with a Kubota motor. It has longer and wider tracks . Brand new, with additional implements,. We’re happy with it.

Have you considered renting one? It should cost you less overall.

The usual issue is that something slides or falls down and then we're blocked in. Plus, will be doing a lot of work now through summer. Would be a hassle to toe something in, two.


Does anyone know what additional fees may apply to these auctions, import freight or duties, etc.? I read something about CARB so also wonder about that.

It looks like +18% and plus tax, and?
 
Hahaha! I'll find a way to ship it for you just to watch vids of you mIni-X'ing!
 
As far as CA is concerned, keep the diesel hp under 25?and you’re granted tier 5 status without the def. Also depending on your property make sure you get the track specs. Ours had a 9” track and the tracks extend beyond the cab. This make the machine more workable for us as we have steep slo pi es throughout our property,

These are cute and great for home garden, but they fall short when it comes to real work. The SL 20 looks like a decent machine. The Chinese use a pretty soft 1/4" plate on the thumb that bends easily. If your clearing trees etc you'll want the bigger machine. You might check out Craigslist. a lot of folks thought they'd get into the Chinese machinery business and have 2024 stock leftover. WE got our little 3Ton for around $13k delivered with additional implements.
 
Every Excavator/ Dozer has a story....mine involves the biggest disaster in any deal: the incompetence of the spouse.

IMG_3075.jpeg
 
Yes. She points at a couple of 200ft pine trees and says she wants to take them out, and that one over there too...

There is a creek that runs through where I want to grade down to the ravine and make a culvert or bridge, or maybe it's small enough for the 4x to get through.

Have to start at the top clearing downed trees and many years of overgrowth to get to the hog pens. She'll have hogs, goats, and chickens before she knows it.

off road diesel for the win and F that DEF stuff. :rofl

Holeshot really trying to get me divorced. but want to put a toilet in the workshop so I got like 150ft of trenching to do.......
 
Thought I updated this. I'd have no problem paying for the sdle20. It closed at 4750. I assume aprox 30% additional in fees and tax. $6200. But I'd have no way to load it. I'd have to rent a trailer at least.
 
Drove the Kubota. It has a front loading bucket and some kind of rear drag. I had to replace a hose and then it popped another one.
 
We use our now friend truck to transport equipment, containers, water tanks etc.

Buyer's premium is 18%. They've gotten a bit pricey @ West Auctions, but they're still good people there. Sales tax should be in-state only. Where are you located?

What're his limitations? I've got stuff that needs to go from CL to Paso Robles... Good find, hopefully. I'm always shipping stuff around.
