Didn't sell the first time. The owner could negotiate a non-auction sale with you (or anyone else for that matter). When the tractor started the owner decided to sell HIS TRACTOR to the highest bidder - only this time with it running. If the auctioneer sold it for less than stated reserve the seller has an issue with him.
Good chance the seller lowered his reserve when it didn't sell the first time across the block. You'll see that a lot - the auctioneer looks at the seller to get the nod to take the highest bid he has.
I could see the seller not wanting to lower his reserve when the tractor sold as "nonrunnning" when he knows it should run. If someone messed with it while it was in line it probably took a few minutes of tinkering to get it running. But when it was running and the bidding had run out of bids he knows he getting all it bring with that group of buyers.
There's really nothing you can do against the auctioneer.
