The big dealers around here do not appear to keep any inexpensive vehicles. They want you to buy new so I think most of the traded vehicles do go to auction here too. On 14/06/2021 3:56 PM, OK Don via Mercedes wrote: Every car I've traded in went to auction.

I'm not familiar with the "safety certificate" you speak of. It may be because Indiana requires no safety inspections at all for cars, except perhaps for a salvage title being changed to rebuilt. I once asked a local dealer what they do to the used cars they take in trade before they put them

Can't be done here, MA law states that any car for sale from a dealer must meet a state safety inspection. I'm sure there are weasel ways around it but the "good" dealers probably aren't trying it. -Curt On Monday, June 14, 2021, 4:16:01 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: I

all we have around here is basically beach sand maybe with some tree roots if you are close to a tree, so nothing like rocks or clay to impede digging.  A shovel works quite well but it is not particular fun work if there is a lot to do.  I guess how fast it works depends on the hydraulic

Does "9hp" = 9hp, or is it like the lawn mowers that make some fraction of the rated hp if you run them with mufflers and air filters? At any rate, I've seen bigger engines on log splitters. If doing real digging, like excavating for a foundation, the engine on a 50hp tractor/loader/backhoe
