@danieljpeter Oh so true

That Kuhn-Krause 8005 vertical till just sold for $39,500. That’s a solid price for a 20 foot implement. Otherwise tillage equipment prices at this sale have been down. Tim Meyer with Steffes Auctioneers reports tillage equipment values were strong in early fall and then dropped.

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

Good gravy. This 1977 Chevy C65, single axle truck with JUST 30,718 miles sold for JUST $1,700! For that price I should have bought the truck for my son to drive to school.

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

The other item we are tracking today is a 20 foot Kuhn Krause 8005 vertical till implement with, now get this, just 500 acres!

Today I’m covering auction being in Mount Pleasant, Iowa by Steffens Auctioneers. It cold but sunny! I’m going to track the sale of a 2013 Magnum 260 with just over 509 hours. Any guesses on what a cherry tractor will bring?

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

High price for combine at Cook sale. 2014 Massey 9540, rear drive, duals, 1,348 sep. hours. Final bid $78,000.

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

Otherwise combine price are soft, to say the least. This 8010 w/4WD, duals and 2,399 sep. hours bought $34,000!

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

Meanwhile...a cherry Farmall H sells for just $1,300!

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

IH 1206 in ROUGH shape! But it’s a turbo and super hot with collectors. Final bid. $5,000!!!!

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

Any guesses on what that 1206 would cost to restore. $10,000? $12,000?

[Dave Mowitz @sfdavemowitz]

Deere 4010 next to IH 1206 sold moments later for just $3,600! It was in great shape. Proof again That 1206 Turbos are still hot items with collectors.
