CaseIH 6130 Combine and STX375 Tractor Sold High Today on MN Auction

The trend continues...

Good condition used farm equipment continues to bring strong $$ at auction this summer, despite the tough ag economy, tariff/trade war issues and soft commodity prices. The latest example came today (August 2, 2018) on the farm retirement auction for Robert and Marilyn Nohl in Hancock, MN (west-central Minnesota). The sale today was by my old friends at Zielsdorf Auction and Real Estate Services (http://www.zielsdorfauctions.com).

A few examples of the strong prices on today's sale:

$169K is the highest auction sale price on a CaseIH 6130 combine in just over 3 1/2 years. Had to go back to 12/11/14 dealer auction in north-central Illinois to find a higher price...$172,000 for a 2012 model 6130 with 590 engine hours.

Also selling strong on today's farm auction in Hancock, MN was the 2005 CaseIH STX375 4WD tractor with 1,829 hours for $95,500 (pictured below). That is the highest auction sale price in the U.S. in 34 months on an STX375...highest auction price in the U.S. since a 2005 model STX375 with only 762 hours sold for $119,000 on a farm auction in northwest Nebraska back on 10/16/15.
