For a 6 1/2 year period, from July 2013 to January 2020, I only saw one JD 7430 Premium tractor and loader sold for $100K+ at auction, that being a 2009 model with only 150 hours and JD 741 Loader, sold for exactly $100K on a 3/21/17 farm auction in Shelby, Neb.

Of course pretty much the whole used Tractor market been on fire here since last Fall. Of particular buyer interest are the 10+ year old models, any color, in good condition with lower hours. Show me a tractor like that…and I’ll show you 5-10 folks that want to buy it. Now. Today. Checkbook open wide, pen at the ready.
Pre DEF, pre Tier IV of course…Huge factor.
