What the buyer reports
A buyer reported wiring the full $33,000 asking price by bank transfer and never receiving the 2018 Kubota M6-141. That account was filed with Equipment Scam Report by the person who contacted us. The buyer's allegation attributes the sale and the payment to the seller as advertised on adfarmequipment.com.
Checking a Kubota M6-141 before you pay
If you are considering a purchase of a tractor listed this way, make these checks before you sign or send money.
Match the machine to its PIN or serial plate. On tractors the serial plate or PIN is usually on the frame or on the dash area; ask the seller to photograph the serial plate close enough to read the numbers and the photograph of the whole machine showing the plate location. Match the plate number to the bill of sale and to the seller's invoice.
Ask an authorized Kubota dealer to verify the PIN and to check any factory records or prolonged service history associated with that PIN. A dealer can also advise whether the hours and visible condition match the machine's service record.
Inspect photos for wear consistent with the advertised hours. At 2,187 hours you should expect visible wear on the seat, steps, pedal rubs, hydraulic fittings, PTO and linkage. Ask for clear close-up photos of the engine compartment, rear linkage, tires and any major wear points.
Require a video walkaround and a cold-start video if the machine is claimed to be operational. A video should show the tractor starting from cold, engine note, visible leaks and the hour meter reading clearly in-frame.
Check title and liens. Run a UCC lien search in the seller's stated state and request clear title or a signed bill of sale. If a bill of sale is provided, confirm the seller's business name matches the entity on its bank wiring instructions.
Run a stolen-equipment check. Provide the PIN or serial number to local law enforcement or national databases used for recovered equipment checks before moving money.
Verify the seller's physical presence. The site lists Kindred, ND and a phone number; ask to meet at the seller's lot in person or have a local contact inspect the machine on your behalf before payment.
These checks are the ones you should do; they are not evidence that any check was performed in the buyer's case.
How the payment was taken
According to the buyer's account a bank wire was used to transmit $33,000. A settled bank wire is final and cannot be reversed by a card chargeback. Recovery depends on the sending bank, the recipient bank and whether the receiving account still holds funds or will cooperate with a recall. The buyer reported wiring the full asking price and not receiving the machine.

We have not verified whether the advertised 2018 Kubota M6-141 exists at the published address, whether the serial plate and photos match an actual machine, whether any UCC lien exists on the unit, or whether the recipient of the wire has returned funds. We have not verified the seller's licensing or DOT registration status.
This is a preliminary assessment based on the buyer's account and public technical records; a right of reply is open to the operator named on the site and we will update this entry if further verifications come in.
If you have already paid
If you wired money for a machine and did not receive it, contact your sending bank's fraud team immediately and request a wire recall. Provide the bank with every receipt, invoice, and message you have. File a report with IC3 at ic3.gov and with your state attorney general's consumer complaint office. Keep all correspondence and screen captures of the listing and the seller's published contact details; if you can, secure any payment receipts showing the receiving account name and routing details. Those records will be needed by your bank and by investigators handling a recall request.
