You don't get very reliable results on tractorhouse regarding prices. A dealer likely would have been ASKING twice what the Duetz sold for. Doesn't mean diddly. It was a one owner low hour 4wd tractor at a farm retirement auction. He likely couldn't have gotten more anywhere, except maybe an online auction. The sale was well attended and everything sold for what it was worth or better. There was a Deere 60 that wouldn't start under a 237 picker that sold for just over $2000 and a 574 IH with bad parking brake that sold for nearly 5k.
I looked up prices on tractorhouse myself because I always doubt what you say, Bret - 4450- $21,500-60,000 Highest priced Duetz in 100-175 hp range is a DX140 at $16,500. As usual, your info is less-than-accurate.
Tractordata, which also sometimes has inaccurate info shows a 4450 sold for $54,000 in 1988 - no mention of how it was optioned out, but that sounds like a fully loaded price. Dunno what a Duetz DX6.50 would have sold for, but I doubt it would have covered the resale value gap. That, and I've driven both SGB Deere tractors and Duetz tractors, and would rather drive the Deere for just about any job.
Fact remains, import tractors are not usually a good value over the long term.
