IMHO, tractors with any sort of collectability will do best with as wide of an audience as possible.
Craigslist is not the place for them. It's local, and a garage sale dumping ground for unwanted stuff, not getting premium prices for a collectable tractor.
Your main concern here is PROMOTION. How will the auctioneer promote the auction? Local PennySaver? No. They need to at least hit the regional ag publications, and do it more than a week in advance. Some if this will depend on the "package" you negotiate with the auctioneer. More promotion MAY mean higher prices but it also means a higher percentage for the auctioneer, so it may blow up in your face.
If you are looking at an auctioneer that does a simulcast live and online bidding deal, look at how they do it. Some of them are complete hacks, and others make it seem like you're really there. I personally like the Proxibid system best, and the Hibid system the least from an end user perspective.
Kick this K-Bid place to the curb. If I haven't heard of it, nobody has, and quite frankly if you went with them you'd probably be better off putting the tractors next to the road with the keys in the igintion, fuel in the tank, charged batteries, and "FREE" signs on each one.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
