was there as well.
two other notables:
The IH 8-16 went for 12,000. I talked with the sellers a good bit, parts wise it was a totally original tractor they had repainted and ran well.
the Titan 10-20 was towed through, I asked the driver why they didn't start it and he didn't know. I got the feeling watching them right around that point in the lineup there were some mixups and a couple of tractors didn't get in line at the right time so maybe they panicked on time. its still brought 15,000 I beleive.
Spoker D had engine issues, looked nice but when they pull started it it smoked badly and when I looked at it afterwards it was covered in oil. I think it went for 9800.
Overall it turned out to be a nice day. I didn't take my camera expecting rain so of course it didn't rain. Big crowd early on thinned out around noon, took over an hour to get through the small stuff. Seemed like the dealers were still having the run of it, but prices were all over the board, maybe trending on the low end, though with the tiered flat rate buyers premium it was slightly deceptive.
Been to all their tractor auctions so far, they put on a good show. After the first one, they started catering a lot more to the nicer looking restored ones it seems like and not restoration candidates and parts tractors. Certainly some deals to be had.
