COVINGTON, Ga. - Hammer & Hitch LLC, which lists its address as 1597 Access Rd, Covington, Ga., is a scam. A buyer who wired $11,700 for a 2018 Kubota L3560 HST reported that no unit arrived.
Late-model tractors with low hours attract serious buyers who pay full price to secure a deal quickly. A buyer's account that a full payment was sent and no machine was delivered is the final fact that makes this listing dangerous for anyone searching for compact tractors.
The listing
The listing for the machine identified it as a 2018 Kubota L3560 HST with 324 engine hours and an asking price of $11,700. The ad described the condition as "Excellent" and listed the HST transmission and cab comforts as part of the package. The site listed minimal extras and no detailed inspection reports.
What made the listing appealing was the combination of a recent model year, the low hours figure and the stated condition. Those three items are commonly decisive for buyers looking for a ready-to-work compact utility tractor.
How the sale unfolded
According to the buyer's account, they found the Hammer & Hitch LLC listing while searching for a Kubota L3560 and compared it with other options. The buyer reported that the tractor's year, low hours and "Excellent" condition made the ad stand out among competing listings.
The buyer reported contacting the seller through the site's published channels and reaching an agreement to buy at the listed price. Following that agreement, the buyer reported sending the full $11,700 by bank wire as payment for the tractor.
After the payment was sent, the buyer reported waiting for delivery or confirmation that the machine would be available for pickup. The buyer's account states there never was a delivery and no tractor changed hands.
The account supplied to this desk contains no verified handoff, tracking number, invoice bearing a verified dealer stamp or inspection record. According to the buyer's account, the payment of $11,700 was completed and no machine arrived to the buyer or to a known carrier.
The outcome recorded by the buyer is clear: an $11,700 wire and no 2018 Kubota L3560 HST delivered.
What the website shows
The site lists its trading name as Hammer & Hitch LLC and publishes a street address of 1597 Access Rd, Covington, Ga. It shows a phone number of +1 470-228-2087 and an email address of support@hammerhitchllc.com.
Domain registration records show the domain hammerhitchllc.com was created on Sept. 27, 2026 and was registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The registrant is masked behind a privacy service. The site does not publish any licensed dealer credentials or department of transportation numbers.
How these schemes work
Federal guidance notes that fraud sites often advertise late-model, low-hour machines with short listings and ask buyers to pay before viewing in person. Many deceptive listings appear on newly created domains and hide ownership behind privacy services.
This listing shares several warning signs described by authorities: a domain registered days before the listing appeared and an ad that highlighted a low-hours, late-model tractor offered at a firm price. Those signals do not prove how the operator will behave, but they match patterns commonly flagged in buyer complaints.
If you sent money
If you wired funds to this domain and did not receive equipment, contact your bank immediately and ask whether a wire recall or reversal is possible. Preserve every receipt, invoice, message and screen capture related to the transaction.
Report what happened to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and provide the listing link and the domain. Keep a record of any report numbers you receive when you file those complaints.
