The 2021 John Deere 5075E as advertised

The seller's listing presented a 2021 John Deere 5075E marked as used, with 218 engine hours and an asking price of $29,999. The advert appeared on symonstractorsandequip.com at a URL that includes the unit slug for the 2021 John Deere 5075E. The site also publishes a street address in Gaines, Michigan and a US telephone number. No attachments, trailer offers or separate transport terms are included in the evidence supplied to us.

What the buyer reports

A reporting buyer says they paid $29,999 by bank wire for the advertised 2021 John Deere 5075E and that the tractor was never delivered. According to that account, the transfer was completed and no unit arrived from the seller. The buyer's report is the source for the payment amount and the claimed outcome; those points are presented here as the buyer told us them.

Checking a John Deere 5075E before you pay

A thorough pre-purchase inspection and title check are the most useful protections for a buyer of this class of tractor:

  • Get the tractor's Product Identification Number or serial plate and confirm it matches the listing photos and any paperwork. On many tractors the PIN is fixed to the main frame or firewall and is visible when the hood is opened; insist that the seller provide a clear photograph of the PIN as shown on the machine you are being offered and on the paperwork. Do not accept a typed PIN in a message without a photo that clearly links it to the machine advertised.

  • Compare hours to visible wear in photos. 218 hours is modest for a 2021 tractor, so check tyres, three-point hitch pins, paint wear on steps and the operator platform, and front axle components for consistency with the advertised hours.

  • Ask an authorized John Deere dealer to confirm a PIN and, where the dealer can, to check factory records and service history linked to that PIN. A dealer can also advise whether the PIN format and location look correct for the model year.

  • Obtain the seller's full billing name and address in writing and run a UCC lien search in the state the seller gives to detect finance filings. A UCC search is searchable by debtor name and by vehicle identifiers in many states; a local title office or a specialist UCC search service can assist.

  • Run a stolen-equipment check through regional registries and local police. Provide the PIN and photos when you ask an authority to check whether a machine is reported stolen.

  • Insist on a bill of sale that lists the PIN, the agreed price, the seller's legal name and the buyer's name. If the seller refuses to complete lawful sale documents, walk away.

  • If the seller asks you to pay before you see the machine in person, or to send funds to a third party or to a personal bank account, treat that as a high-risk condition and refuse until the title and location are verified.

How the payment was taken

The reporting buyer says the payment method was a bank wire for $29,999. Bank wires transmit funds directly and, once settled, they do not provide a chargeback mechanism like a credit card. That makes recovery difficult and usually requires a bank to attempt a recall or reversal. The reporting buyer's account is the only source for the method and amount given here.

What we have and have not verified

Verified from supplied records:

  • The listing on symonstractorsandequip.com advertises a 2021 John Deere 5075E, 218 hours, used, asking $29,999.
  • The domain symonstractorsandequip.com was registered on 2026-07-30 with NameSilo, LLC and the site responds with HTTP 200 and offers HTTPS. The homepage title matches the published trading name.
  • The site publishes a street address for Symons Tractors & Equipment in Gaines, MI and lists the phone number (989) 372-9081.

Not verified and still open:

  • Whether the tractor described in the listing exists at the published address.
  • The ultimate recipient of the buyer's $29,999 wire and whether that party acknowledges receipt of funds.
  • Any title record, lien status or police report tied to the advertised PIN or serial number for the unit.
  • Whether the published street address corresponds to a licensed dealership or an operational premises hosting inventory.

These items remain outstanding and would normally be checked by the buyer, by a dealer verifying a PIN, or by local authorities and the banks involved.

If you have already paid

If you wired funds for a machine from this site, contact your bank immediately and ask its fraud or wire-recall unit to attempt a recall of the transfer. File an incident report with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and with your state attorney general. Preserve every receipt, transfer confirmation, invoice, message and contact detail connected to the sale; these documents are essential for any recovery attempt by your bank or for law enforcement inquiries.

This record presents the buyer's allegation and the advertised listing as supplied to us. A right of reply is open to the operator and the entry will be updated as more checks are completed and verified.
