They "split" tractors with loaders here sometimes. Loader sells, then tractor sells, then they "combine" the tractor and loader, and it usually starts off with higher bids. Can't recall ever seeing one not sell as a complete package once it's "combined" again.
Doesn't matter either way, you're usually bidding against a family member, or the owner if alive. Some people don't like this, but I feel it's just fine. Gotta right to protect your goods, and I've got the right to keep my hands in my pockets if the bid goes higher than I want to pay.

Either way, it's a good way to kill a day, and the food is usually pretty good.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
