Is it a problem or an addiction if you go to a sale and sell two tractors and buy three??? LOL

Not if they were good deals!

Cory Schmidt · Mar 3, 2016

What you sell and buy? My guess just a common case of old or farm iron fever(therefore like addiction), where the only problem is figuring out where to go with the new additions to the collection, especially if you got rid of the tractors to make room.

An addiction may be if you went to a sale and bought 3 and sold none. LOL

good 40 yr old tractors that are proven, tried and true are a steal these days in my area ...about the only tractor that has not gotten soft is a 4020 in excellent condition , ruf , they can be a bargain , if?,,.. there are not a lot of issues that muther deer will eat your wallot with your az still in it ... .in recent yrs , I have been able to find field ready 430-5-and 630 CASE diesels ,,.because they were not excellent condition and had battle scars that were healable,,. I was pleased with what I got them for,,. trouble is ,,. I like you , JD, traded off 2 tractors and ended up with 3 ,,. my wife says it is an addiction , I call it smart business, especially when you consider what the bank pays on cd's and what I can polish and doll my old gasser Case tractors up in a wedding dress to fetch a nice price,.and therefore make some real money ..

None of these are collecting type of tractors. I sold a JD 4440 and a JD 7810. I bought a JD 4755, 4455 and 4255. I say I am going to turn around and sell them but I am partial to the 55 series JD tractors. They are pretty bullet proof for a lot of jobs on the farm. They can just about be 100% repaired without many specialty equipment from JD, IE COMPUTER program.

JD,

Sounds like a PLAN not a problem.

Wheatfarmer · Mar 3, 2016

It is ok. Some of that New Math.

onefarmer · Mar 3, 2016

If SWMBO says you can't buy anymore unless you sell some. She didn't say it had to be a one for one swap.

Jeff NWOH · Mar 3, 2016

I was told it sounds like something I would do, except for the selling part.....

ditchwitch · Mar 3, 2016

Sounds perfectly normal to me. Kinda like going to the dump and bringing back more than you took .LOL

jeremy in NE · Mar 3, 2016

That is a nice trio you brought home. Are they mfwd power shifts?

JD Seller · Mar 3, 2016

The JD 4755 is MFWD and PS, the JD 4455 and 4255 are quad ranges.

Al Baker(pumpman) · Mar 3, 2016

I am looking to buy a 4450 MFWD but waiting for the prices to soften up some. What are you seeing, are prices staring to slide to the favor of the buyer in the corn belt?

JD Seller · Mar 3, 2016

Al the tractors with higher hours and rougher appearance are slipping some but the good clean used is not off by much. Now this is the under $50K stuff. The under $25K stuff actually was just as high or higher today. You can get a good 607K hour JD 4450 MFWD in the mid $30K range now.

It's called a rotating toy chest. I have one to a certain extent.

Al Baker(pumpman) · Mar 3, 2016

Like you I have got a couple of tractors that should find a new home. With the money from them and a little cattle sales I would like to own the 4450. Have a White 2-135 series III, but it is just not green. Been waiting for the pendulum to swing so my dollar will go farther. Hard to go buy something you don't NEED, just WANT. Always loved the feel of the sound guard cab. Bet today you sat tall in the seat on the way home. Great tractors to invest in. Almost bomb proof.

Cory Schmidt · Mar 3, 2016

ok so they are "investment" buys, that's still ok to me..

T.R.K. · Mar 3, 2016

Well, Its no problem if your trailer is big enough for all of them. . . .

RandyB(MI) · Mar 3, 2016

Long as you buy low and sell high you can never go wrong. Let your emotions and / or nostalgia get in the way and you could be answering to the "boss".

ASEguy · Mar 4, 2016

Amen to that.

8850dave · Mar 4, 2016

JD Seller please don't let that happen to me this month as I am trying to sell 3 tractors and really want to reduce some of my inventory. I am selling a sharp IH Super H stage 2 and a pretty nice JD 4020 1970 looks and runs very good and a IH 666 tractor that runs great but its time to thin out my herd.

ztrmower · Mar 4, 2016

just curious why you go back in years 7810 sell bring back 44series i sold my last tractor last fall 4450 mfwd 37500.00

730virgil · Mar 4, 2016

yea i know a guy that told his wife i sold a tractor. what he didn't tell was he took 2 on trade.
she went to the shed one day and saw the newbys. she said i thought you sold a tractor to which he said i did but i took 2 on a trade

JD Seller · Mar 4, 2016

ztrmower: JD 7810 was a 2wd Good tractor but still has the start of computers. Plus it almost paid for two of the other tractors. I will go two for one all day long.
