Hey,
I agree that the weights and duals should be taken off if they're gonna sell separate. They're just being lazy and hoping the buyer of the tractor will pay top dollar for the stuff. The combine situation is touchier. They SHOULD sell the combine first, then the heads, then the package. Someone might need a grain head, but not a combine.
My biggest gripe is the Buyer's Fees that are becoming increasingly popular. You gotta adjust your bid down to account for it, but the moron bidding against you never seems to realize it. I rarely get any deals at a Buyer's Fee auction.
I also hate the auctioneers who have "shadow bidders". I always look for the guy bidding against me to make sure he's not a figment of the auctioneers imagination. He has been a couple times. You can tell when you stop bidding and the auctioneers suddenly gets desperate to get one more bid from you.
The only way to stop it is to vote with your money. Unfortunately, not enough people will stop going to get them to quit.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
