Pictures With Results-Huge Farm Sale At Horton,MO

Yesterday March 12th I attended the huge Jungerman Family Irrevocable Trust farm sale near Horton,MO which is 20 miles away...The forecast was for heavy rain and I
ran in to it just 2 miles after leaving home....Just south of the sale the rain let up...I arrived at 9 AM and was able to grab a few pictures before the rain hit....The sale
started at 10 AM and they tried selling outside but that didnt work...Heavy rain with lightning just doesnt work...The sale was moved in to a 90 by 200 ft machine shed
and was held there for the rest of the sale as the rain never quit..Since early Thursday morning I've had 4 inches of rain and more is forecast...Some places not that far
away have had 8 inches..

The Jungerman family owned thousands of acres of good farm land between Horton and Rich Hill,MO..It has now been sold to the Cerner Corporation from Kansas
City...David Jungerman owned a baby furniture factory in Kansas City...He is now in jail for doing some real bad things..Google his name to find out lots more...Hired
help ran all of the machinery and it probably hadn't seen the best of care..The owner was hard to work for and the help was fired quite often over little things..I thought
that things sold real good..There were several trucks to sell but the MO DVM hadn't gotten the titles to the auctioneer..

Another sale was held today at another farm to sell all the shop equipment, a 4020 JD tractor,and much more..I will keep putting 10 pictures on at a time until they are
all done..


The sale was held in the huge shed at the top of this picture...It was on the internet and stuff went as far away as Texas.

I just read a few of the articles about him. He was a real sweet type of a guy!!!!!

Thanks for posting these... much more informative than Machinery Pete!

Thanks again.

Thanks for posting, really enjoyed it

He's a real piece of work.. He once fired a hired man for buying $40 worth of grade 8 bolts because the soft ones on a chisel were breaking all the time..

Thanks 1206--Interesting. What did you pull home? Looks like a good day to go to a sale and a very good day to stay home!---Tee

Thanks for all the pictures and results, hope you get some sun soon and get the crop in.

I'm retired from farming so I was just a spectator.. Lunch was so high there that I bought absolutely nothing at the sale..That evening I had a delicious steak in town for just $5.00 more...If those buildings hadn't of been there they would have had to called the sale off as it sure was a lousy day..Lightning hit real close to the building one time...Todays sale was about 6 miles northeast of this one at another farm and it rained all morning..They said that it would be a muddy mess there and that even 4x4 pickups would probably be getting stuck..How come it cant be dry,sunny, and 70 at these sales..

I used to go to a lot of sales and I always said at my sale I hope it is 10 below zero and-- a chance of a blizzard so all the serious bidders come for a bargain and all the gawkers who take up space stay home"like me now" ---Thanks---Tee

The last tractor I bought--online auction

The last one I bought at a "BE there auction--the one on the right

Thanks for posting all the pics and results.

Read one of the articles on him. Amazing with all that money and having issues like that. Thanks for posting the results.

As always, thanks for posting your auction adventures.

It seems those tractors were on the low side. Did they appear to be well maintained?

That doesn't work, because EVERYBODY has the same idea. "It's miserable out, nobody will be there," and EVERYBODY shows up.

One local auctioneer wants to hold auctions in the most miserable weather possible. That way farmers can't do any field work so they come to the auction.

Guess I wouldn't of had any luck if I showed up with my stimulus money. Probably would of spent it all on lunch.

It is getting be not so important how the live sale goes because a lotta stuff sells online, even at the live sales. Why go waste a day at a sale when you can either bid while working, or even bid without pants on in your living room? I am getting to the point where I would rather bid online and keep doing what I was doing versus going to a sale. I do like live sales, but sometimes convenience beats all.

On the green 4440 with 5k hours I have seen one with 10k hours and no significant wrenches needed, running strong.....so there should be a lot of life left in that machine.

A couple of years ago there was an auction about 10 miles from home that had a wagon I wanted. Wet, cold, miserable February day. I had set up to bid online and was able to sit in my chair in the nice warm living room, with a cup of coffee, doing paperwork, glancing at the sale progress until the wagon came up, which I then snagged. Had I gone to the site, I would have been standing around for 3 hours getting wet and cold (and probably eventually sick as a result), getting absolutely nothing else done. I didn't have to slop around in the mud with my truck, either.
