They "split" tractors with loaders here sometimes. Loader sells, then tractor sells, then they "combine" the tractor and loader, and it usually starts off with higher bids. Can't recall ever seeing one not sell as a complete package once it's "combined" again.
Doesn't matter either way, you're usually bidding against a family member, or the owner if alive. Some people don't like this, but I feel it's just fine. Gotta right to protect your goods, and I've got the right to keep my hands in my pockets if the bid goes higher than I want to pay.

Or says...…."put that on my bill". Then you're not sure whether there's a "reserve" or not. They ain't gonna tell.
Either way, it's a good way to kill a day, and the food is usually pretty good.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
