## Summary

Quiet-to-moderate day. Two new tractors and a strong Stihl MS 500i turned up; a handful of earlier finds sold. Prices on Apple builds and winches are flat. Gumtree, Grays and Pickles searches gave little usable data, so Facebook and dealer sites carried most of the sweep.

## Notes

**A:** Re-checked all 13 existing finds: Pickles Panus trailer SOLD; TFM Deutz ad gone; FB M5101 still Out of Stock (sold); FB Zannit, M9540, JD 6210, MF 5440 reachable and live (MF 5440 now $36,990); Slattery trailer live, bid $2,600; machines4u 1169819, 754768, 1177991, 1258818 live; Pickles Kubota M108S page shows 'Item Not Yet Available for Sale' (kept as before). Dropped to keep six live per want: FB JD 6210 (about 7,000 hours, fails the hours must) and machines4u-1169819 (430km, 3.3 t payload). Facebook Chrome reachable; searched tractor loader, 4wd cab tractor fel, tractor with loader Riverina, drop deck trailer, plant trailer tandem beavertail. FB tractors seen were mostly VIC or coastal NSW beyond 400km (Berry JD 6010/6600, Agnes Banks JD 5720, Moss Vale Kubota). Skipped a FB 2021 Deutz Fahr tractor in Wangaratta, 216 hours, $36,000 with forks and 4-in-1 bucket, because model and hp are not stated and the seller joined Facebook in 2026 with a price far below market (likely scam). FB trailers skipped: Wagga 2014 plant trailer $22,500 (over band), Narrandera 40ft flat top (not drop deck), Deniliquin 2000 Major tandem (pre-2001). Machines4u used tractor-with-loader list had only the MF 1204 in range (Deutz 5105.4G is Toowoomba); machines4u used drop deck list is semis at $38k and up. Pickles search pages and Gumtree (Sydney dealers only) gave nothing usable; Grays returned no results; tradefarmmachinery and agtrader search pages were blocked or returned no listings, and rbauction, manheim and slatteryauctions beyond the Canberra sale (13 lots) were not searched. No photos added for new finds beyond the MF 1204 image URL.

**B:** Facebook reachable; re-checked all fb-* finds in my own tab. Searches run: transportable cabin, portable cabin granny flat, container home, offset disc, offset discs 24 plate, tractor ripper, tree ripper single tyne. Not added: Leeton 24-plate disc used once $12,000 (70km, width not stated), Undera John Shearer 24-plate $9,500 (width not stated), Myrtleford Baldan 28-plate $8,000, Bathurst International 24-plate $8,800, West Wyalong 6m x 2.4m container home $26,000 (single box, room count unclear), Limerick 'dingy' ripper $250 (no detail). Made-in-China single-shank rippers found (Jeegee US$842 MOQ 5, 30-60hp; Darong US$190-220 MOQ 10, 40hp min) are too light, not added. Pickles blocked in Chrome, Gumtree returned 403, Lloyds search returned no lot-level data, Slattery search 404; WebSearch found no live auction lots. Lloyds/Slattery earlier lots re-emitted unchanged as closed. Hayes, Shandong Liying and Yucheng Dadi pages still live (no delist notice); prices unchanged. No photos fetched for new finds.

**C:** Chrome reachable; Facebook Marketplace searched (Melbourne 100km): stihl 462, 661, 500i, husqvarna 572/592, winch terms, mac mini m6/m5 pro/32gb. All FB existing finds re-opened. Apple AU prices re-read on the live config pages (M6 32GB/1TB $2,799, M5 Pro 48GB $4,049, 64GB $4,949; unchanged). Apple certified refurbished Mac mini page lists only M4 Pro units, none qualify. Retailers: Mwave M6 32GB/1TB $2,843.95 sold out (above Apple); Macfixit lists only 16-24GB M6 and 24GB M5 Pro, no qualifying config shown. No Facebook M6/M5 Pro listings beyond the existing Rose Bay sealed 64GB ($4,849, still live). Gumtree: blocked to fetch, browser search surfaced nothing usable for Melbourne saws, so effectively skipped. Chainsaw capped at six live: skipped Stihl 066 Magnum Daylesford ($1,500, ~110km), MS 661 Ballarat ($1,400, ~115km), Stihl 460 ported Bittern ($1,450, bar not stated), 066 Hoddles Creek ($450, needs tune, aftermarket piston), Husqvarna 390XP Launching Place ($1,400, 24in bar, 390 not clearly 30in), 562XP ($770, 28in max). Winch: new FB listings were poor (MM9500 $120 no remote; unnamed 4x4 winch $100, 9,500 or 12,000 lb unknown) and the six-find cap is already full. Not re-checked on retailer sites: carbonoffroad and 4x4downunder pages showed price only, stock inferred from add-to-cart button. Photo for the 500i saved to scratchpad fb-1417308616586147.png.
