The 2022 Kubota SVL75-2 as advertised
HighValley Tractor Outlet's website lists a 2022 Kubota SVL75-2 tracked skid steer loader with 717 hours and an asking price of $13,000. The seller's published description gives the serial KBCZ052CCN1H69691 and states the engine is a Kubota V3307-CR-T-EF04 3.3L 4-cylinder diesel. The listing lists an enclosed cab with heat and A/C, two-speed travel, auxiliary hydraulics, a hydraulic quick coupler and shows Bridgestone rubber tracks, 15" track width and a Land Pride 75" bucket with a weld-on cutting edge and bolt-on teeth. The site presents the trading name HighValley Tractor Outlet and publishes a phone number and a street address.
The domain highvalleytractoroutlet.com was registered on 2026-09-01 and the site serves HTTPS pages titled "Used Equipment | HighValley Tractor Outlet." Those hosting and domain records are the clearest public timestamps associated with the listing.
What the buyer reports
A reporting buyer told us they sent $13,000 by bank wire to purchase the 2022 Kubota SVL75-2 shown on highvalleytractoroutlet.com and never received the machine. The buyer's report describes the payment method as a bank wire and the amount as $13,000. The seller's listing on the site carried the same $13,000 price and the unit specifications quoted above.
All statements in this section are attributed to the buyer's account filed with this publication.
Checking a Kubota SVL75-2 before you pay
For any late-model Kubota SVL75-2 you should verify the machine identity and service history before transferring funds. Confirm the serial number on the machine matches the serial shown in photos and the number on any proposed bill of sale. Photographs that include the serial plate and a clear view of the cab VIN area let you compare the metal plate to the number printed in the listing.
Ask an authorized Kubota dealer to run the serial number against their records to establish whether the unit has a recorded service history, safety recalls or a registration tied to a previous owner. An authorized dealer can also advise where the serial plate and PIN are commonly fitted on that model and what wear to expect at the advertised hours.
Examine listing photos for wear consistent with 717 hours: look at track condition, sprockets and idler wear, bucket cutting edge and teeth, hydraulic hoses and the operator station. If photos are limited or stock, request additional close-up images of the serial plate, engine bay and undercarriage before any payment.
Check public liens by searching UCC filings in the state the seller lists as their address to see if financing may be attached to the machine. Search local stolen-equipment databases and the national stolen-equipment registries for the listed serial. Insist on a signed bill of sale that includes the full serial and the seller's banking payee name, and confirm that the named payee matches the recipient information your bank will use for any wire.
If the seller refuses to allow a third-party inspection, declines to provide clear serial-plate photos, or asks for funds by wire only, treat those as reasons to pause until you can independently confirm ownership and lien status.
How the payment was taken
The buyer reported using a bank wire to send $13,000. A completed bank wire reaches the recipient bank and is not reversible through the payer's normal card or ACH dispute channels. That method limits immediate chargeback options; any recovery effort will need to proceed through the paying bank's wire-recall process and the recipient bank's cooperation.
Record the beneficiary name your bank used for the wire, the routing and account numbers, and any remittance details. Those items are required by a sending bank to attempt a recall and are necessary for subsequent investigative steps.
What we have and have not verified
We have confirmed the domain highvalleytractoroutlet.com was registered on 2026-09-01, the registrar listing and the nameservers, and that the homepage returns HTTP 200 with HTTPS available and a homepage title of "Used Equipment | HighValley Tractor Outlet." We have the seller's published listing text and the unit specifications as presented on the site. We have the buyer's account reporting a $13,000 bank wire and non-delivery.
We have not confirmed whether the advertised unit existed at the time of the buyer's payment, whether the published phone number and street address connect to the bank account that received the wire, whether a Kubota dealer has any registration or service record for the serial shown, or whether any liens or theft reports attach to the serial. Those checks remain outstanding.
If you have already paid
Contact your bank's wire department immediately and provide the wire details and beneficiary information that appeared on your transfer confirmation. Request that the bank initiate a recall and ask what additional documentation they require. Make a record of every conversation, including names, timestamps and reference numbers.
Report the transfer to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and submit a complaint to your state attorney general's office. Preserve all messages, screenshots, invoices, receipts and any IP or routing information you have from the listing. If you used a broker or third party to arrange the purchase, provide their records to investigators.
