HIGH PRICES ON MICHIGAN SALE YESTERDAY
Definitely sense of optimism coming from Michigan & Ohio farmers early 2013. Proof yesterday (Feb. 21, 2013) on a nice farm auction in central Michigan by the good folks at Sykora Auction Service. A few prices:

1998 JD 8300 MFWD tractor with 4340 hours: $87,000
1981 JD 4440 tractor with 6350 hours, 1 owner: $30,000
1967 JD 3020 diesel tractor, open station, 6910 hours: $10,100
1988 CaseIH 1640 combine with 3370 engine hours, RWA: $32,500
1989 CaseIH 1063 6-row corn head: $9,500
1990 CaseIH 1020 20' flex head: $8,250

Trulock 6,000 BU grain bin: $2,700
IHC 80 3pt. snowblower: $1,800
Extra pair of JD 4020 rear fenders: $1,100

PETE'S NOTES: Nearly a new record high auction sale price there on the JD 1760 12R-30 planter at $52,000...the only higher one I've seen was $55,000 on an 11/21/11 farm auction in northeast Kansas for one that had done total < 1,000 acres, 1 onwner. Also a new record high sale price of $6,700 on the EZ Trail 475 grain cart, topping previous high of $6,600 on a 2/24/10 Purplewave.com online auction (KS). And finally a new record sale price of $23,000 on the Sunflower 5034 25' field cultivator, BLOWING PAST the previous high sale price of $17,250 on a 12/20/08 farm sale in northeast Missouri for a 28' model 5034. TRACTORS....of course yet another very strong price on a nice JD 4440 here at $30K. I'm losing count now on how many I've seen sold at $30K or more the last 3 years....A LOT! And how about $1,100 for the extra pair of rear fenders of JD 4020?? If you ever want to have some fun, dive into the "MISCELLANEOUS" category in our "auction results" database...tons of interesting sale prices in there on ALL KINDS OF STUFF, like the antique farm windmill sold on this central Michigan farm sale yesterday for...$250.
