I found this at an auction site that's coming up for sale. Never heard of the make and decided to look around the web to see what I could find. Before I got very far, I found the same thing having sold at another site.

There can be no doubt that it's the same image. The labels on the unit. The background.

People sometimes buy things then later have a change of heart. I've bought things at auction then had them relisted straight away. However, the weird thing is that they are different companies who seem to share the same database, or images.

Well, it made me smile. Does anyone live in WA who knows a bit about these two companies?

farmmachinerysales is a carsales.com subsidiary so I guess it is a bit like a car yard dealer listing on carsales.com?

Good pickup. I didn't notice that.

This generator reminded me of a ute I was interested in buying. It was for sale by auction. It is rather unique. It has a hydraulic tailgate lifter on the back. Never seen that before. It might have been 4WD, too. I do a lot of shifting stuff around, and the lifter could have been useful.

So, I'm checking the web. And, blow me down, I found it at another auction house in the sold line up a few months earlier. I surmised that there may have been something wrong with it, and it was quickly put back up for sale. Pass your problems on to someone else.
