Auctions are a lot of fun to go to, but like everyones said, they can be dangerous too. Last december we got a Case 580 SuperK from a consignment auction. It had good rubber, hydralics, cab and 1900 hours. It was fine for 6 months then we had all sorts of problems. There was a bad oil leak in the hoe and the reverser and/or hydraulic pump went bad. We took our losses on that one and traded it in on a new 580M. However the flip side is that you can find diamonds in the rough. We got a farmall 460 diesel for $1400. Took some things apart and gave it a good cleaning and now that thing purrs like a kitten(and can do some growling too.) One of the most wild things to watch is fast hitch equipment. Theres so many items like carryalls that go for 5-600$. I'd love to get a blade, but i've seen them go for 800$, probably much much more than they were new. Remember, test out what you are looking to buy. Look at all the grease points, check the oil, radiator hose and connections(as long as its not hot) brakes, tires, anything that you think might need replaced. Thats what makes the deals at auctions not the deals you think they are. Anyways have fun and try not to make the wife too mad. They hate it when tractors follow you home.
