I and my father in law go to a lot of auctions and have been known to come back looking like Sanford and son the main pro and also the main con is that you set the price that your willing to give and you can end up getting "tunnel vision" and end up buying something that you really dont need as bad as you thought you did and end up spending a lot more than you planned just because you decided that you were going to own it no matter what. one other good thing to say about buying from and individual is that if they have nothing to try and hide you can actually get out and run the equipment where as at an auction you can start it up and see how it runs but not get a feel of it. plus at auction you gotta make your mind up then, no sleeping on it dont get me wrong i LIKE to got to auctions but sometimes after its all said and done and i get what i bought home i've ended up wishing that i'd kept my mouth shut. some of the things i look for are basic stuff check the fluids (burnt or milky oil)and look at grease fittings to see if some of the maint. has been done. I dont know what size tractor your looking for but when we bought our MF35 we didnt think (KNOW) to check the weep hole to see if it was plugged up and it ended up costing $500 to put new seals in the trans. but we still ended up with a fairly good deal in it.
