Where I live I can drive 40 miles in any direction and be in a whole other world. One way you have steep hay country, another you have rolling tobacco ground, you have flat land row crop, and the other you have miles and miles of 1o acre McRanches. Here is what I have found works best. Go to auctions in diferent directons. At an auction in IL a fair shape john deere 3 bottom plow will sell for scrap price. Take that same plow to an auction around McRanchville where every one has a 4020 to work thier garden and mow thier pastures with, if it has shinny black bottoms the weekenders will fight each other all day running the price of a $50 plow up. A little grease in cutter blade bearings helps but is not mandatory, they don't check most of the time. In hay and pasture country where they don't raise tobacco anymore, an H or a two row cultivator don't bring as much as they will down on Tobacco Road.
Also some say you don't get good deals at auctions, they ain't look'n for the right ones. If you see a full page color ad in the Fastline you are not going to get any real deals, you will get stuff for fair price (if you know when to turn your back). If you go a few days early and look round the little estate sale in the Sunday paper you can hit the jack pot. Look in barns and garages. Auction people and the grandkids selling the stuff are scared of wasp and snakes and will over look stuff alot and if they do see it they won't think it is worth any thing. Also there is a company that has two huge consigenment sales every year around here. They have two rings going, 5 or 6 lines of equipment almost half a mile long. Starts at 9, people show up at 5 to get a good parking spot. Most get tired and leave by 1 pm. They don't stop selling most years till 7 or 8 at night. The first 7 or 8 what ever you wants sell bout right. The last 3 or 4 go dirt cheap. If it happens to rain on the day of the sale they get cheaper quick!!!

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
