- Drop deck rated for a loader tractor: 2001 DoT 10 t ATM bogie plant trailer, $12,500, Melbourne, about 420km; ramps and brakes not stated.
- Ripper, light units now accepted: single tyne $250 at West Wyalong, 100km, tip bent; used Hayes pipe ripper $750, Echuca, like new.
- Offsets: Liying 1BZ-2.5 24-disc from China, US$1,000 to 2,000 FOB, replaces the 28-disc listing; under A$5,000 shipped only if the quote is near the low end.
- Chainsaw, winch, Mac mini and tractors: no change. Deutz-Fahr Agrofarm 420, 232 hours, $61,500, Forbes is still the tractor to call.

## Summary

Noon pass, 2 Oct, with the new drop deck trailer want swept for the first time. The Mathoura cabin on skids sold within about eight hours of being listed and the Rushworth skid unit is pending, leaving the Deniliquin cabin at $7,000 as the cheapest live portable home. Light single-tyne rippers are now accepted, which brings in a $250 unit at West Wyalong, 100km away. The 24-plate Made-in-China search is on the offsets list. The best drop deck so far is a 2010 tri-axle beavertail at Murchison for $12,000, rated only 3.5 tonnes.

## Notes

Run 2026-10-02 02:55 UTC (12:55 AEST). Two Chrome browsers were connected and none selected, so the first Facebook pass skipped; the owner chose Browser 1 and the four Facebook sweeps were re-run on it. Web workers had no WebSearch budget and used page fetches only; Gumtree, eBay, trucksales, Grays, Pickles, Slattery and Lloyds search pages blocked or JS-only.

WEB (12:30 AEST 2 Oct, WebSearch budget spent so curl and page fetches only). Tractor: all 4 web finds unchanged; JD 6130 page now states 4,440 hrs. Lloyds Austral lots 295 and 300 read at $7,900 and $6,300 with no bids on either, so these are opening prices; 590km, notes only. No new tractors or portable homes in range. DROP DECK TRAILER first sweep: only in-band plant trailers with a stated year are 2001 DoT 10 t ATM bogie $12,500 Melbourne (about 420km), 2018 Heavy Haul 4.5 t ATM $9,000 Dubbo (430km, 3.3 t payload), 2007 Appcon 6 t air-braked $15,000 Cranbourne (460km); all listed as stretch because each is over 400km. Rejected: drop-deck semis (Vawdrey, Maxitrans, Barker, Freighter) over $20k or prime-mover trailers; Brentwood tandem low loader Riverstone $38,500; Melbourne dealer stock without a year; new Coastmac and Sureweld units under 4.5 t. Gumtree, trucksales, Grays, Pickles and Lloyds search pages blocked or JS-only. OFFSETS: owner wants 24-plate China units, so the Liying 1BZ-2.5 24-disc listing replaces the 28-disc Liying find. Dadi 1BZN still US$1,000 to 4,000. Tradefarmmachinery tillage and Slattery, Pickles, Lloyds tillage lots not swept (no usable URLs); farmclearingsales had no offset disc harrows. RIPPER: owner says light is fine, so light single tynes are scored decent: Hayes Heavy Duty $990 (40 to 80hp, 90 kg) and Farm-Aid FA105 $1,005 (30 to 90hp, 72 kg) added; these push the Farm-Aid FA106 and Collier & Miller pages off the six-find cap. Seen, not listed (stretch, too light): Hayes Medium Duty $490 (15 to 40hp, 54 kg, 290mm working), FieldQuip LSR-900 $893 (18 to 40hp, 40 kg), Hayes Single Tine $390. Hayes EHD $1,290, FA106 $1,145 and C&M POA unchanged. CHAINSAW/WINCH/MAC MINI web: all 7 unchanged and nothing beats the list. 572 XP 20in $1,949; Runva $815 and $1,065; Carbon $1,099; Apple $2,799, $4,049, $4,949; Apple refurb AU still only M4 Pro minis. Seen, not added: Ironman Frontier 9,500 synthetic now $949; Stihl AU MS 462 C-M $2,159; Premier Outdoor MS 462 C-M out of stock.

Facebook tractor/portable home (12:30 AEST 2 Oct, Browser 1): reachable. Mathoura cabin sold, Rushworth skid unit pending. Deniliquin cabin $7,000 (was $20,000) still live, open to offers. MF 5440 Orange $37,750 and JD 6210 Jindera $35,000 unchanged, no new tractor qualified. Bendigo expandable $28,000 re-added from the 00:45 check since two slots opened. Tractor rejected: NH T7030 Berry $75,000; JD 6600 Berry; Kubota L3400D; Heathcote 25hp $27,500; Yoogali tractor with no maker or hours; Fordson Major; JD 5093E Bendigo $86,000; Deutz Agrotron Maffra $88,000. Portable rejected: O'Connell tiny house 6x2.5m $7,000 (one room, unfitted, 430km); Ballarat and Yallourn units over 400km; Melbourne and Sydney cabins over 400km; Hay 2-bed transportable $119,800; Forbes modular toilet.

Facebook offsets/ripper (12:30 AEST 2 Oct, Browser 1): reachable, all 7 existing finds live at the same prices. Re-opened the two reconsidered rippers: West Wyalong single tyne $250 (was $350, bent tip) and Echuca Hayes pipe ripper $750, both live and now listed as decent because light units are acceptable. Offsets: nothing new in range; rejected Joadja disc harrow $1,100, Melbourne disc harrow $13,650, Agrisem Speed disc plough, Rainbow John Shearer $30,000, Echuca disc $95,000. Rippers rejected: Timboon and Bannockburn $400 (over 400km), Myrtleford 5-tyne, Mornington Clemens 2-tine $3,000, Shanes Park grader blade $1,200, excavator rippers. The 'deep ripper' search was blocked by the tool; the 3PL, tractor ripper and subsoiler searches covered the same ground.

Facebook drop deck trailer (12:30 AEST 2 Oct, Browser 1, first sweep): about 17 searches newest first with a price filter, 9 listings read. True drop decks are rare on Marketplace; most results were box, tradesman or tipper trailers. Only one genuine beavertail plant trailer in band and in range. Rejected: Yass River 2008 4 t car trailer $7,800 (flat tilt, no lowered deck); Bendigo new Titan plant trailer $13,500 (3.5 t GVM, new); Bendigo 3.2 t Classic plant trailer $9,000 to $11,000 (year not stated, light); Bendigo flat top $5,500; Young container skel $12,000; Leeton bale trailer $11,500; Moss Vale and Leppington units over 500km; Horsham, Riddells Creek tippers; Ballarat 4.5 t plant trailer $8,500 and Geelong plant trailer $15,000 (beyond 400km or light). Worth a re-sweep in a few days since cheaper Riverina and north-east Victoria drop decks tend to appear and sell fast.

Facebook chainsaw/winch/Mac mini (12:30 AEST 2 Oct, Browser 1): reachable, all 10 existing finds live at the same prices. Seen, not added: Stihl MS 461 Melbourne $1,100 (fb-1614109220343306, listed 15 weeks ago, no bar, chain or service detail, would push the one-owner Husqvarna 592 off the cap); Stihl MS 066 with 30in and 36in bars $1,500 Wallington (fb-2146514322929225, older model off the spec list); Ironman 9,500 lb rope winch $300 Truganina (fb-931116339710196, remote, hook and rope not confirmed).
