The record high auction price on JD 8520’s had stood at $165,000 since 2/3/09 on Holyoke, CO sale, almost 14 years, until it was tied 3 months on a 12/5/22 farm retirement auction in Hamlin, IA we filmed for our Machinery Pete TV show ([www.MachineryPete.com/mptv](http://www.MachineryPete.com/mptv)). On that sale the retiring farmer, Dwayne Sunberg, had a complete line of John Deere 20 Series Tractors. They were all lined up in a row…8120, 8220, 8320, 8420, 8520. The last in line 8520 had 6784 hours but still tied the then record high auction price of $165,000. Here’s Machinery Pete Youtube video of that line of John Deere 20 Series Tractors selling on the 12/5/22 Hamlin, IA farm auction:
