I am not a crop farmer so take this for what it is worth. I attend farm auctions a few times per year here in MO. I usually am looking at smaller 3 point attachments and the like. I do see a lot of the smaller grain handling equipment being sold and like you are saying the smaller stuff in excellent condition does go for higher prices.

It is not that often that we find what we are wanting used with all the options we are looking for.
Just my 2 cents and it is worth what you paid for it.
