This might of established a record breaking price. But, in my opinion, it did so as the result of 2 people having to much money, and not as a reflection of its worth.
Close to 3 times the previous record set in 2019 (not long ago), speaks volumes. And clearly not because of a long dry spell, or inflation and buying power of the dollar.
I'm with the others that suggested, for that kind of money, it would of made more sense to build new from scratch. Wouldn't of had the antique history of an original, but all else would of been even better, considering one in brand new condition.
When something brings a crazy price like that, one must ask themselves, what would of a second one brought, that same day, that place, same buyer pool. If the answer is considerably less, then there was more going on, than just selling a rare tractor. Like, a couple people in the crowd, flaunting thier money saying, I'm gonna buy this no matter what it cost. When you got people doing that, on top of selling a rare item, what it brings is pretty much irrelevant to what it's actually worth.
I have done a little research on stradivarious violins being sold. Of course those are rare, and people take interests when ever one comes up on the auction block. Basically only wealthy people even bid on those. But buying one, especially one of the more desirable ones, comes with it a big p!ssin? match to make the one they bought set a record price. That way they, as an owner can say, ha, the one I bought is more desirable, because it brought more. It's like a game to the big money people. A game they play, because the most desirable one, is perhaps, not up for sale. And they can't by that one. They can only set a new standard. And they got the money to do it.
