I have a bizon with header here I just found in my late grandfathers shed while trying to pay off his many debts. Was excited to find it as The Valley near The Old Farm has many farmers looking for workers however I cannot get it to run. I am sure you or the mechanics at your dealership can get her going.
How does 20000 for them sound??

Let me confer with Jessi on this one. How many hours does it have on it?

Unsure the work hour gauge is broken. But gramps had only grass fields so he never used it, prob got it at clearing sale and never used it.

So, I talked it over with the boss and if it is a complete set, harvester and header, we're willing to give you $20,000 for it.

Just helped the guys load it. Had a struggle as the steer wheels are seized up. So they need replacing. But they had a look at the engine and its just the starter motor that's shot on it so it should be easy to get running.
Pleasure doing business

Thanks again, Tyler. I'll have the shop check that out.

Well the shop called me back, and you were right to get rid of it. They said the starter was just the tip of the iceberg and that the engine itself was just about to seize, the steering gear is done for, the electrical has to be completely redone and for the header, it's got a hydraulic leak and the roller bearings are shot.
They say they can bring it back to life, but it's gonna be in the shop for awhile before we can sell it. Just wanted to let you know what they found.

Yeah, I'm still cool with it. There aren't as many of these running around as there used to be, so we're going to rebuild the engine and fix it up. I think we can make our money back on it.

I remember local dealers used to offer a modified Bizon with different colour option and few other bits n bobs. However sadly the government has banned them and dealers had to remove it from there listings.

Yeah, as I understand it, the Bizon is pretty popular in South America and some small European region. I can't remember the name of it, but it might as well be no man's land.
