I went to an auction yesterday of the machinery from a farmer who died four years ago. It was only 2 miles from my house. I was startle by some of the prices, but on an auction you never know. Most of the stuff was still sitting where it was parked when he died.
A D19 Allis, gas burner with narrow front, that I was interested in was rough cosmetically but started right up went for $3400. I bid to $2200 and said to heck with it.
A WD with a junk trip bucket loader sitting in the trees and obviously not run for many years went for $800. A styled WC without a loader next to it brought $700. An unstyled WC missing parts and one front wheel went for $900.
An AC snap coupler 9' blade sold for $800. A snap coupler 3x14 plow went for $500. A pull type 3 bottom plow, make unknown, went for $400.
A Massey 510 non running combine sold for $900, while an identical 510 sitting next to it that started right up and ran nice went for $800. Figure that out.
His main tractor wasn't on the sale. As I recall, it was a large MF with a V8 diesel. Most of his field machinery was sized accordingly, and I didn't stay to watch that stuff sell.
Like I said, most of the stuff was sitting where it was parked when he died, and some 'way longer ago than that.
My total expenditure was a dollar for a cup of coffee.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
