He said it was a tractor rescue to try and
save as many of these tractors from scrap
as they can. He explains the CURRENT price
if interested. He doesn't mention what
they'll do with the tractors that are left
over, and not sold at the current asking
price.
What's he gonna do with what's left over???
Keep it 6 months and put it in another line
up? I'm not a follower of this guy on you
tube. Maybe he does, but I'm guessing not.

Actually, is what I'm guessing, is what's
left over will go to scrap. Or he wouldn't
mention the fact that he was trying to save
as many as he can from scrap. He also
mentions something about this being another
line up, or entails that there was a
previous one. What happened to the no sales
of the line up before?

I'm not buying his 190 a ton base price
either. In my area, scrap is about half
that right now.
Also going to place my guess that the left
overs are sold for scrap at a lesser amount
than 190.

Which, brings about what I mentioned in my
reply to main post. Liquidate to much stuff
at one time, equals more of the bottom bulk
of it going for scrap. You can luquidate to
much stuff at one time for hobbyist to
absorb. Maybe things are different in other
areas of the country, but the salvage yards
in my area with in driving distance that
dabble in old tractors parts, are not huge
salvage yards by any means. Ran by people
that are not exactly big time operators.
They are not big enough to absorb other
entire smaller salvage yards. So, they
likewise can't absorb all of it, if to much
is liquidated at one time.

This has been going on for a long time. So
why is anything different now? Is what is
different now is, it use to be pretty
common to see tractors from the 20's and
30's on farm sales. Now it's not. It's kind
of a rarity to see a farm sale that has
tractors from 20s and 30s even on it. The
never ending flow of that era of tractors
going to salvage yards is coming to an end.
So once the masses of the salvage yards,
hoarders, and alike, are gone (liquidated),
it's just gone now and won't be replenished
from the use to be farm sale supply.

Maybe doesn't make much difference right
now on an 806, or even an M farmall. But,
on tractors from the 30's and before, boy
that's drying up fast. If those are sitting
in a salvage yard about half parted out,
and the rest of it just goes to scrap
because the salvage yard is going out of
business, that is kind of turning into big
deal. Because the supply to the salvage
yard of that era of tractors from other
sources besides other salvage yards, is
running out. Kind of getting to the point
that if they are just melted, they are just
gone from salvage yards.
