is this a fair trade ?

[notadeere]

i own a 656 narrow frt gas new rubber runs great, guy wants to trade me a 140 honey bee & a sickle mower for my C even over, i havent heard the bee run but he said everything works good looks nice its a true honey bee also could use new paint but looks good

 

[georgeky]

Not to me it wouldn't be.

unless honey bees are worth $4000 or so, you're coming out on the short end. i wouldn't trade if the 656 was mine.

No I don't think that would be a good trade at all.

Where you at? If the guy's looking for a way to dispose of said honey bee, I think I might be interested depending on freight...

What is a honey bee?

 

[notadeere]

a honey bee is a factory made reversed tractor befor the made skid loaders these were the "thing" to have most ag plants had these back then

 

[notadeere]

no hes not looking to despose of it... he wants to sell or trade, he said he wants atleast 3500 for it but said would trade me even over as my tractor is worth that much to him...but i just dont think that bee is worth that much, located northeast nebr. 60 miles northeast of norfolk

 

[Dan-IA]

Would that be near wakefield?
$3500 might be okay depending on its shape but I know a local scalper with a couple AC tractors that are reversed too and he'd let go for $2500 with no haggling. But I'm a farmall guy..

 

[notadeere]

wakefield is about a hr east of here, the Ac are probly home made reversed this is a factory built backwards IH 140 called a honey bee was built off the farmall A frame design my email is [email protected] if ya want to send messages there to catch me faster

Why may I ask would you want to Trade a very good Tractor such as the IHC 656 is for something that is only useable if in good condition. Those so called Honey Bee's tend to be awful hard Steering,uncomfortable to operate,etc, and are a one use sort of Machine. Can you see yourself trying to pull a Hay Rack with a crowd of people coming along for the ride and Apple Cider and Doughnuts afterward on a Crisp late fall Evening with a "Honey Bee"? The 656 was born for that sort of enjoyment. Find a straight "B" if you have the need for one and enjoy.

If you leave out the part that you own a 656, would that mean you are thinking of trading a Farmall C for a Honey Bee? If so that might find agreement if you need the loader. Not if the "other" tractor 656 is involved. JimN

 

[notadeere]

why would i want a sickle mower for my C if i trade it for the bee ? think DUH

 

[notadeere]

um for one i live in town, 2 i already own an super M, super C , M,C,9n so if i wanted to pull a hay rack id use super M better for it, dont need a monster 656 for in town i just dont use it to keep it but dont need to lose money on it on a trade thats not worth that cost is y i asked here
