I get the actual "Iron Guide" that dealers use for floor plans and such. They have the actual auction numbers and averages in the monthly up dates.
The numbers you see on Machinery Pete's web site are the high ones, cherry picked out of hundreds of lower tractors. Pete is paid by advertising. The auctioneers are his bread and butter. He does not make headlines showing the cheap selling stuff.
I have several of the models you are saying are selling so high. I will make you a deal. You can come and buy them for my price an go sell them for YOUR price.
An example of this is an Oliver 1650 GAS. Good tires and good paint. Late one with the three speed hydraul. Wide front end. Ran nice. Took it to three different sales. Never got a live bid over $3500 for it. Finally got it sold privately for $3700. This was just last month.
Just bought two JD 3020 gas narrow front tractors. They both came from one dealer. He has had them for almost two years. Not even an offer. I paid half of what you said they are bringing. They have fair tires and run. They both will be parts tractors. The hitch, remote valves, and transmission parts will bring more than they will running.
So either the location is making a difference or your values are off. I go to 4-5 auctions each month, year round. I see what equipment is selling for.
