PicsResults Sale Two At Chanute,KS With 28 Tractors

3 weeks ago I attended sale # 1 for the Neil Ford Estate auction that was held near Chanute,Kansas....Yesterday,I attended sale # 2 for the Ford Estate...It was a beautiful sunny day with temps in the low mid 70's..The only reason I even got to attend this sale was that my first MSTPA hook of the year at Harrisonville,MO was called off because of wet conditions..From May 2nd-6th a large part SW Missouri was deluged with from 3 to 9 inches of rain..SE Kansas was also hit with from 3-6 inches of rain...It did lots of flooding and sure tore the roads up..Lamar,MO just to the south of me had lots of flooding..Starting tomorrow we will have 4 straight days with a temp of 90 degrees...That will dry things out.

It was wet at the sale and several got stuck..There wasnt a real big crowd but the bidding was brisk..Only 4 of the 28 tractors ran.

Heading east on a main road in Elk County Kansas..It leads towards Busby where theres a one room school..This is the east edge of Flint Hills
cattle country.



Creek bottom wheat field in Wilson County Kansas...For as cold and wet as its been,its amazing that it looks this good.Some doesnt..
The recent heavy rain has severely damaged lots of the roads in this area.Some corn fields had damage...Most is up and is a good stand.


Unknown one room school east of Fredonia,KS.
It should last covered in tin.


Low water bridge on the Fall River west of Fredonia,KS..It had been bank full a few days earlier and
was still rolling yesterday..If my late MIL had been with me she would have been screaming thinking
I would attempt crossing it.No Thanks..There will be another day..




This is an old picture from 2007 of a huge farming operation in SE Kansas...This is a township road that goes thru the middle..
There are now 24 huge grain bins on the west side and 11 smaller ones on the east side...There are 8 machine sheds
with some being big and some being smaller..Theres enough machinery there to farm 20,000-30,000 acres or more.

This is from 2007..A huge barn east of Farlington,KS..It needs a roof but the cost would be unreal.

Main Street in the ghost town of Elgin,KS in 2012..It was eerily quite that day...I may be in it this week?

Elgin,KS A Town Too Tough To Die...I need to do a story on it as it has quite a history...I have lots of pictures.

Big Brutus at West Mineral,KS...The worlds largest electric shovel..Weighs
11 million lbs and has a 90 yard bucket.Its 160 ft tall and cost 6.5 million in 1962.

I am like all the others enjoy the auction reports but the country photos are the best , I have been across Kansas on the interstate but just never got a chance to see it as you picture it. Back roads sure look interesting.

Love these posts, 1206SWMO. Thank you!

Thank you for the pictures. Always appreciated.

Always enjoy your posts. What would they have mined with Big Brutus? Very interesting.

Kinda sale I like to goto

x2!!!

great photos and fantastic narrating we enjoyed the road trip , thank you

It just stripped overburden off seams of coal. Several other interesting pieces of equipment there including a Dart truck. I have either been thru or have found some of the places that have been posted.

Great pictures, amazing how flat it is there, nothing but mountains here, thank you so much for showing us a area different from here in eastern NY.

THANKS again 1206--very interesting as usual-That is quite the shovel!-Alot of bargains at the sale---Tee

Thanks for your pictures I always enjoy reading of your sale trips. Good thing I wasn't there I would have been bidding on some of those and then trying to figure a way to get them back
to N. Arkansas. Your road trips are always great at bringing back old school day memories.

I'll add my usual thanks. You always do such a good job with this and the comments from viewers are well deserved.

Thank you for the auction pictures, always enjoy the posts. Interesting the first owner didnt get the CA but is what it is. We had a 1991 Ranger extended cab 4x4 years ago, same color as yours. Are you running the 4.0L engine?

Yes X2, that Brutus was a neat machine, it took a crew to keep it going.
Thanks for the pics, lots of projects there to work on! GG

Great report, looks like a good day for buyers. I enjoy the one-room schoolhouses and countryside you take the time to post. I've wondered about the roads out there, remember coming to a crossroads like 164th St and 8th Avenue. Were they maybe planning for a big city? These roads were in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks again, Gerrit

1206SWMO, Thanks for the great pictures and info. loved them!

Dang! I would have bought that row crop Ford!!

Thanks for the pictures, always appreciated.
