Ummm 28 years old actually 😉

Two people sure must’ve loved it…………

Must be the PTO that makes it worth its weight in gold.
According to Tractor spec, it was worth $116,000 brand new.

Only 266 PTO HP.

Run a big 13inch auger?

Run a big 13inch auger?

We run a 13" auger with very worn out 100 pto HP. Full bore with tough wheat makes it smoke, otherwise, its enough HP. The shear bolt is the weak point, not the HP. Not sure what size auger would require 266 hp?

Wow , just wow
18 years old , no auto steer, 6000 hrs!

That price almost seems reasonable compared to the 40 year old 2290 at the same sale for $30,000.
A few years ago you couldn't give away a 90 series case tractor. Something about the ticking time bomb they called a powershift.

The 110 ft , 16 in augers used to fill the 30,000 bus plus bins .

Its not necessarily iron going up but the dollars purchasing power decreasing. Like I said before certain items will inflate at different rates than others. Luxury goods like large new homes and boats are struggling while productive assets demand more paper.

In the labour market those with real world skills like Ag employees are earning a higher wage than those coming out of university with say business admin degrees. I guess you could say the market is finally rewarding real world productivity and Steiger Tigers over paper tigers.

The Swan River auction shows the reality of the machinery market recently.
Tractors and sprayers are still in high demand as supply is very tight . Combines falling off as some dealer lots are overflowing with used .
Nearly 10 year old Quad track with 2700 hrs still $500,000 , similar year Combines 1/2 that .
Off the lot they were about the same retail new .

Sounds about par for the course. This year I was looking for a quad track, and thinking about a sprayer. Upgraded the combines recently so the bargains there don't help.
I've been watching tractors sell at auction lately and they're selling for a lot more than dealers lots. Then add in the buyer's fees.
