Hi just wondering from my experience, do you ever get wreckers to pay $10.000 for tractors like this in your area. every time my customers phone to sell a tractor with green or any color paint up here in Canada, with issues or not running. the guys come back and say if it's not perfect running driving order they don't want it or say $2-5000 depending how new it is or if a good loaders fitted. one customers just got bid $2500 for an 8440 JD with the lower 4wd drive shaft messed up parts are 3000 plus labor, he doesn't need the tractor anymore .
The guy with the blown motor 8430 they didn't want even if he delivered it, and several more guys got no or low bids. JD dealers actually sold the mostly worn out 1830 with 17000 hrs on for that customer, to a guy who recons them for more than the wreckers would give, it needed big money spent and they all knew that to, when bidding, the low hour crate motor and a few other nice parts was the catch in that deal, I think.
most yards round here seem to work on scrap plus a bit, then try getting all the money back on the first big part and a profit to. the one i worked in was like that. A few more are to when I wanted parts from a tractor I new sold in auction when they got it. I certainly don't see 10 from that tractor here and them selling the motor for 2500- 4500. That would be $6000 plus if it was any good round here, I guess maybe we are just getting robbed at both ends . Regards Robert
