Hey hope this isn't too late for ya. I bought an H-16 on epay in 2009 for $450. I got a running tractor, a snow plow, a decent deck and the light duty tiller for that price. I bought it using the buy it now price and drove about 2 1/2 hours to Binghamton NY from Jim Thorpe PA to pick it up. It all fit in the back of a Kia Sedona, but barely. So yeah, $1200 is just insane and even $800 is very high in my opinion. I only buy what I think are great deals. My 1050 I picked up for $125 (still can't believe I bought it for basically scrap value), my G12 was $225 with plow and deck (now sold), but you get the idea. Good luck. If you aren't in love w/ the tractor I would wait for a better deal to come along, but it you need to be fast, there are a lot of guys looking for the deals to sell on ebay and make a profit.:trink39:
