More Auction Madness

I am definitely fixing my 7120 magnum when the time comes. And the refurbished 9170 will stay on cart and tillage for easily 25 more years, longer than I'll be driving it.
Basic jobs, basic workhorses. Most farms survived by buying certain machines once a generation. Iron is supposed to work for you afterall. Not the other way around.

Doesn't have to be new, but it has to be good.

There is a wide interpretation of "good".

Not everyone is capable.

Tractor price is debatable but wow paid too much for a used 8” auger. Surprised they have a 35hp motor on an 8”

I see the tractor prices the same as the prices for late 60's early 70's muscle cars.
Old guys with too much money buying something they wanted but couldn't afford in their youth.
They write the cheque and don't care.

But are there 2 bidders?

I'm not. We have a 30hp on ours and could definitely use more augering tough wheat

What do you expect when you go from 9” intake to 8” tube. Them supercharged brandts are nothing but horsepower hogs…..

I have lots of old stuff. 9370 all it does is nh3 in fall and heavy harrow in spring.4000 hrs. It could run airdrill if needed.
Old ih auger /vac tractors. 3406 b cat trucks.
. I realize eventually I will have to venture into the electronic age . But I will hold out as long as I can .
No million $ combines here.120
140$ acre rent. Fert 150 -180$.
No . How do you do it? Then add a mil.2 air drills. Combines etc. No. I admit I am a small player. But if you can't make 100$ / acre
Why do it?.

Yep , our 9270, 835, 1070 and 2290 have earned a permanent spot on our farm until the sale
