**JD 7430 Premium Tractors are RED HOT.**

Made by Deere from 2007 - 2011, they are now 10+ years old (“Tractor Specs” on JD 7430 Premiums: [John Deere 7430 Premium Tractor Specs | Machinery Pete](https://www.machinerypete.com/specs/john-deere/7430-premium/7673)).

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.

The past 17 months on the other hand, since January 2020, I’ve now seen (5) JD 7430 Premiums sold for $100K+ at auction, up to a high of $121,350 for a 2007 model with 1261 hours and 741 Loader from Marquette, Neb. on a 12/31/20 [www.bigiron.com](http://www.bigiron.com) online auction. That 7430 Premium even had damage to the front grill. Here’s a picture of it.

Since January 2020 I’ve also seen (3) JD 7430 Premiums sold at auction from $92,500 - $97,000.

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.**

This super strong buyer demand for tractors of this vintage has driven down used inventory levels on farm equipment dealer lots. I found only (5) JD 7430 Premiums listed for sale today in our Machinery Pete web site, couple of very sharp ones though, click here to check 'em out: [John Deere 7430 Premium Tractors for Sale | Machinery Pete](https://www.machinerypete.com/tractors/100-174-hp/john-deere/7430-premium)
