## Summary

Overnight pass, 2 Oct. One find worth a call: a 7.4m x 3.4m cabin on skids at Mathoura with bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and bunk room for $9,000, 190km away and listed four hours before the sweep. The MS 460 at Melton sold a day after it came back; a one-owner Husqvarna 592 XP at $1,600 in Bendigo fills the slot. Everything else is unchanged: 38 finds re-opened, no price moves, nothing new in range for the tractor, offsets, ripper, winch or Mac mini.

## Notes

Run 2026-10-01 14:50 UTC (00:50 AEST 2 Oct), scheduled midnight pass. Facebook reachable for all three sweeps. Web workers hit the WebSearch session budget, so the web pass was curl-only; Gumtree, eBay, farmmachinerysales, machines4u search, Pickles/Slattery/Grays/Lloyds search pages blocked or JS-only.

Facebook tractor/portable home (00:45 AEST 2 Oct): reachable, all 8 existing finds live at the same prices. New strong portable home: Mathoura cabin on skids $9,000 (added). New stretch tractor: JD 6210 Jindera $35,000 with cab and loader, about 7,000 hrs (added, replaces the NH 8560 on the cap). Tractor rejected: Same Silver 80 FEL $19,000 Cowra (80hp, hours unstated); Claas 620C Berry; JD 6110M ROPS Agnes Banks $50,000 (Sydney); compacts and wheel loaders. Portable rejected: Mansfield one-room cabin $18,500; Koroit studio no bathroom; Canberra salon fitout; Sydney/Melbourne/Nowra kits.

Lloyds Austral lots unchanged at $7,900 and $6,300, close 7 Oct, 590km. Tractor hunt: tradefarmmachinery 400km-radius FEL search (47 listings) and machines4u newest, nothing new in band; only unseen unit JD 6820+741 Forbes $82,500 is 150hp with 9,968 hrs.
