larry I get mixed results on here when I tell folks how cheap the old tractors are getting in Tennessee. Some folks think I am lying when I say sometime there is just about no bid on some of those old tractors. Supper C for $ 300.00 Ih 240 $ 750.00 . Just a lot more old tractors than they are money in this part of the country.
 
jm. Since the tobacco program died there are loads of small tractors in KY and TN that have no use anymore. The younger people and the city people moving out to the country do not want an old tractor. They want a compact utility with modern features. That segment of the equipment market booming.

Look at just about any farm of any size the old tractors have zero use. On our farm there is not a single job a Farmall M or JD A can do. So that leaves a shrinking collector/hobby market. Guys born in the 1970s do not "dream" of owning an old 1940s or 1950s tractor.
 
JD That is what I have been trying to get over too these guys up north for years. This part of the country was small filled with small tobacco and hay farms. Lost of farms had two or three old small tractors and fence rows are still full of them and just no buyers. Power steering , diesel Massey Fergerson 135s that bring big money up north are tanked at auction around here and I just used that as an example , everybody like you said wants a 5 wheel compact with loader. Seems this fall is worse than I have ever seen it. I was at an auction last week where good running wd45 AC with average rubber brought $230.00 and auctioneer had to beg to get that. I do not see it changing any time soon.
 
Interesting. I was just reading on an AC site about a young man going to auction on a non-running WD45. He did not get it and it went for approximately 1,250 dollars. Too bad he was not at the auction where the 230 dollar tractor was.
 
Like I said all about supply and demand or location, location, boils down to who want to mess with the thing, try to sell it or take it to salvage yard.
 
Its a lot like that at the auctions I've been to this year some sky high some very cheap often has a lot to do with the auctioneer and his 'following'. Or as I say lots of time
'something in the Moon'. That's what makes auctions interesting.
 
Really its hard to figure at an auction with about 20 Olivers a while back a Oliver 60 Industrial nothing special bought around $6000.Oliver 80 $5800 but a good running Oliver
1550 with power steering 3pt etc bought only $2100,I bid $2000 just because it was cheap didn't need it have 3 already.Prices are all over and really I can't see a reason except
just who decides to fork out the cash that day.
 
I watched a 706 gas,(motor free) bad tires and wheels bring $1200.00 Saturday. It must have been family, because a tractor that last ran 10 years ago is not worth that much.
 
Yeah, I bought a bunch of junk sat. Larry, dirt cheap. But a 50 parts Ferguson and C Farmall that don't run just ain't gonna bring much. They did sell an M not running for $650.
 
What Model NI bar rake? A No. 4 on steel we have to give more than that just to get one to put on dealers lot to sell for $8-900. Most desired rake there is. Now a parrallel bar rake of any make not much call for.
 
Here in Ohio I still see wd45 tractors bring 3000 on auctions. A 550 Oliver with a trip bucket loader brought 6500. A John Deere 50 brought 5000.A month ago a 1466 international brought 17500. A jockey bought it and is asking 32000.
 

Consignment sale last thursday had a Deutz 7085 that sold for $18,500. It was an original low hour tractor. Also had a Gleaner F3 from the same owner and it brought $14,000 with no heads. the auger had been boogered, but the rest of the machine was super nice. A 1420 IH combine brought $7500. Real nice older equipment still sells well. Higher value stuff and rougher stuff didn't sell well.
