AUCTION INSIGHT
As the New Year begins, we extend our best wishes for a safe and prosperous year to readers of Catalyst Communications, Hot Line Farm and Antique Monthly Update.
Few machines are as central to a farming operation as the tractor. Early tractors were designed for basic fieldwork, but over time they became true multi-role machines. The introduction of standardized hitch systems, PTO-driven implements, and enclosed cabs transformed tractors into year-round workhorses capable of handling planting, harvest, and material handling. That long history of adaptability helps explain why demand for used tractors remains strong across generations.
The following are a sampling of tractors at recent auctions around the US:
• Case IH Farmall 75C values clustered in the mid- $ 20,000s to upper- $ 30,000s, with cabbed units with A / C setting the high end.
• John Deere 5075E showed pricing between $ 22,750 and $ 28,500, with newer 4WD units outperforming older or base configurations.
• John Deere 8R 310 tractors continued to bring premium money, typically selling from around $ 240,000 up to $ 350,000 for models made in 2022 and 2023.
• Kubota M7060 values generally fell between $ 15,000 and $ 30,000.
These results represent only a small sample of recent tractor activity in our database, which continues to track a much broader range of models, configurations, and price points nationwide.
