1973 Ford LN9000 grain truck with 20' box sold for $4,100 on southeast Wyoming farm sale Saturday - 10/23/2012


1991 JD 4455 2WD WITH 3600 HOURS
My good friend Marvin Waterhouse with Waterhouse Realty & Auctioneers of Manchester, IA has a very nice farm estate auction coming up Nov. 10, 2012 near Worthington, IA (east-central Iowa, not too far from Wisconsin & Illinois state lines). On this estate auction is a nice looking 1991 JD 4455 2WD tractor with 3600 hours. It is a Power Shift. So what's it worth? We had a lively discussion about this 4455 on our Machinery Pete Facebook page last evening. Here's a list of the last (16) nicest JD 4455 2WD tractors I've seen sold at auction over the last (3) years:

AVE. AUCTION PRICE on these last (16) very nice 2WD JD 4455's = $49,723

The 2nd 4455 listed above ($61,000 on 3/24/12 south-central Minnesota farm auction) is the record high sale price I've ever seen on a 2WD JD 4455. Here's Youtube video I shot at that auction...a very fun day:
