Troy,

You have got to be kidding me...two nice Cyclones and another Deere two place trailer here in TX? I will have to dig into this and contact the seller. First, the BIN is, uh...optimistic, but the sleds look decient.

Would deffinately keep me occupied if I stay down here through the winter...

Thanks for posting the auction number!

Wanie,

I spent all my money on a bumper sticker, can't afford the BIN, LOL!

I did contact the seller and asked about the reserve. The sleds are about 7 hours northeast of Fort Worth, so that rules out a weekday trip. They are north of "Amarillo by morning" a bit.

I am still surprised to find ANY Deere sleds in Texas. I figured my 80 LF motors were about it.

Ask the guy if he will take a free range longhorn steer in trade. Then all you have to do is start rustling cattle and you will have all the free sleds
you can dream of. Not sure how they feel about cattle rustling in Texas ..... You might get your neck streched 6"s or so and then you will be 5'6"s tall.
Good luck ..

Those look like a pair on a trailer that was listed on ebay about 3 years ago in Los Angeles. Looks like the decals could have used some sun block...

I agree the BIN price is very very optimistic!

If you go check them out beware of the rattle snakes and the armadillos!

Holy Cow!! Those dudes are up to $2,250.00 and reserve hasn't been met....Geesh. If I was the seller I'd call the bidder and tell him to come get it. They are nice Cyclones but located in Texas.........Even Rainville is a long way from them.
