Hi, the auction of a collection of tractors and machinery of a late friend of mine took place in West Wales today consisting of around 20 tractors and old mainly Ferguson machinery and some modern day items.
How often are you shocked at the prices things make in your neck of the woods?
Most of the tractors were refurbished and were in magnificent condition. Some were in the original condition but as good as you will ever find.
To set the level, an illuminated MF dealer sign made £1300 ($1678), a TE20 diesel in original condition made £6500 ($8394), an FE35 refurbished made £5700 ($7361), an MF35x in magnificent condition made £8400 ($10848), a 135 again in magnificent condition with a cab that was about 4 years old made £15000 ($19372), a 158 4WD no cab or power steering that was refurbished nearly 10 years ago made a stunning £22000 ($28412) and 3 Field Marshals all refurbished, one with an original cab averaged around £13000 ($16789). By comparison a newish Case Maxxum with 2500 hours on the clock only made £29200, ($37711).
Can’t help but wonder if the nnalert lockdowns and restrictions that we’ve had here has had money burning holes in people’s pockets and when they fancied something they were determined to get it at any price. Your thoughts please fellow YTers?
