Strong Prices on Ohio and Idaho Farm Auctions Today and Yesterday
March 25, 2017I saw some pretty strong sale prices on farm auctions around the country yesterday and today (March 23-24, 2017). If you caught my "Pete's Pick of the Week" cell phone message this afternoon you saw the 2004 John Deere 9660 STS combine with 2,436 engine hours sold for $94,000 yesterday on a farm auction in northeast Missouri. That is the 3rd highest auction price on a 9660 STS combine in the past 19 months. The sale yesterday was by Sullivan Auctioneers (http://www.sullivanauctioneers.com). Here's a picture of the 9660:
Another strong sale yesterday came from an online farm auction in south-central Idaho by my friends at Musser Bros. Auctions and Real Estate (http://www.mbauction.com). The 2014 John Deere 6170R tractor pictured below, with 565 hours, sold for a new record high auction price of $138,600. The previous high auction price I'd seen on a 6170R was $126,000:

Today (March 24, 2017) on a farm auction in central Ohio by the great team at The Wendt Group (http://www.thewendtgroup.com) more strong prices filtered in, like the 2006 John Deere 9520 4WD tractor pictured below sold for $134,000. It had 2,187 hours. $134,000 is the highest auction sale price on a Deere 9520 4WD tractor in the U.S. since August 26, 2014, so over 2 1/2 years:
Another strong price on the central Ohio farm auction today was the 2012 John Deere S680 combine with 838 engine hours for $190,000. That is the 3rd highest auction sale price on a 2012 model S680 the past 15 mo. Here's a pic of it:

Another busy auction day tomorrow, as all Saturdays in March tend to be. Can't wait to see what's up for sale and what it goes for. Stay tuned.
