I went to an auction yesterday not too far from WhoVille.

What the helms is with peeple and those little Ford tractors? An ok looking Minn-Moline with a Du-al loader, cab, tractor was gas and I think 60hp, went for $2400 or $2500. My neighbor knows the seller, he said this was a really good tractor, really strong.

Industrial diesel Farmall 460 went for I think $2800.

Then they came to a Ford Jubilee 600 or 620 or something like that with an okay loader, nothing great -went for $2900. There was 6 more Fords there, I had to quit watching. I know one of them, an 8N, no loader, one bad tire/rim went for $1300. Crikey that seems high for such a little tractor.

There were two Allis combines, PTO driven. One looked okay, went for $25, one needed parts went for $10.

3 point disk (fairly light)$550

3 point finish mower, fairly new, $550

48" 3 pt tiller, not sure of brand, chain drive, fairly new $600

I bought a 7' springtooth harrow thingy on tiny steel for $30, a 3 pt version 5' wide went for $120. I think I did okay.

3 pt subsoiler (I think that is what it was, one guy called it a root cutter) $40. Lots of tools and other junk - auction went from 9am to 4 or so with 2 rings going.

cheers,

Creek

Try buying another tractor that size with a 3pt hitch for less. The true 3pt is what gives them their value. AC,JD,IH,they all bring more because they are newer models. If it wasn't for the 3pt I don't think the Fords would bring much.
