Thanks for watching! As far as I know, the only red tractors ever owned by my direct lineage were Massey Ferguson. My grandad bought a 165 new in 1964, dad owns it now. Dad briefly own a MF 225, and I currently own a MF 135. None of us have ever owned a Case IH, but I do have some videos of me driving one during corn harvest. My brother-in-law owns a red Versatile and I have 6-8 videos of it.

Four dollar corn makes for big sales in pencil sharpeners! I watched an old sales video of that Crustbuster and interesting how he noted with the big bin vs typical row bins a farmer saves as much time filling hoppers as having a planter twice as wide; which reminded me of the old AC WD tractor dealer video that showed charts of the number of acres a day covered by implements with their tractor lineup. It would be good to see how to best calculate the right size of tractor and say corn planter to the number of acres. When I did it for my area I can put corn in the ground for six weeks and while taking out weekends, nights, and rain/repair/maintenance delays I was surprised at the total number of acres that could be planted with simple 4, 6, or 12 row "old" planters. This time of year every farmer is itching to get the seeds in the ground but the novelty must wear off on the big ranches after two weeks, "need a wider planter mr banker".

Also Flint equipment and Lasseter Equipment and Tidewater alot of times will send their used trade ins to auction. Whatever close by auction is happening they will send them. Alot of them around here go to weeks auction unless there's a local auction happening nearby. Dealers no longer want to keep used/trade ins on the lot anymore, only new.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on the fact that Steiger is a PTA with the Allison auto, which is probably why it was living on a pan. Those PTA's have a reputation for being the toughest of the tough pulling a pan with that torque converter drive. I was watching that sale on and off online, watching a few items but never put in a bid. Noticed Elite and Flint both put quite a bit on that auction. I think the highest selling tractor I saw was a new series 8R I believe small frame that brought $245K. Most of that late model equipment seem to be averaging about a third off retail. Notice too the price on the "junk" equipment seems to have really fell off compared to the last few years, I guess even the scrappers and scalpers have run out of money.

@PatrickShivers 5 ай бұрын

That Steiger lived on a dairy not far from the auction. Any pan tractor with that many hours is a bad son of a gun….especially if you saw that 18 yard pan sitting beside it.

@johndeere7245 5 ай бұрын

I cant decide if it is near the 80's or 90's. The 80's got you on debt when the interest rolled up, the 90's just broke you with low prices. Right now it honestly feels like more of the latter. $4 corn and $.80 cent cotton is a long way from LDP's, but those reference prices haven't been changed since the 90's and every cost we have has tripled, can't say the same for yields. Our average price on peanuts has dropped about $150 per ton from the end of quota in the 90's to about a $500 average the last few years. I just don't see how we can afford to get squeezed anymore between the cost of machinery, cost of seed/chem/fertilizer, trucking is eating a larger margin out as well, and then add another couple of points of interest onto an expanded operating line. I'll be damned if I know what to do anymore, I'm just riding this thing along with everyone else.

The IH with 2 PTO shafts in this video fits the description of what you are wanting. It didn’t sale b/c it didn’t meet $3,000 minimum. Check farm equipment auctions. They all have online bidding now. I would say on average an old, well used 40 hp tractor today is worth about $6,000-$10,000 depending on how old and how well used. New ones are $30,000
