Did not stay to see five foot 3-pt rototiller sold. Is an N big enough for such a tiller?

How do these prices strike you in your area?

I kept my bid card in my pocket. Look at all the money I saved :>)

I also saw a very nice JD B which went for $1200.00 (I guess it was the narrow front end and the fact that the auctioneer's man flooded it so it was hard to start, or just not two people "needing" it, which kept it so low).

This is an annual consignment auction for the local Ruritan Club. The auction is in its eleventh year and has gotten bigger each year. Next March I'll try to post the list from the newspaper before the sale. The auctioneer was working as a volunteer and things moved quickly. A few things went for more than they were worth for sure. It was about the most windy day I ever saw. The food was good though, and I ran into a few friends from around the valley.

This afternoon I bring my Jubilee home! Its two range transmission (of some sort) should work a rototiller, from what I read?

Paul

this is one place where live hydralics on the Jubilee are nice so you could keep the roto tiller turning with the clutch depressed

for sure I wouldn't put money into that implement until I had a chance to try it on the tractor I was going to use it on

unless you are going in the truck garden business this might be a place where hiring it done is preferable to buying an implement

your mileage may vary

New boom poles $70 at Quality Farm, musta been a good auctioneer (grin)..... ..Dell
