| Went to a farm sale in central Illinois yesterday. The star of the sale was a 1971 A-C 170 gas, narrow front. About 4700 hours and good overall shape except for the front rims. One front tire was leaking fluid. Spirited bidding resulted in a sale price of $7800. The disappointment of the sale was a Gleaner F, gas, with 15 ft. head. It was running but brought only $475. Looked like a straight old combine. A 1976 7060 power shift in average to below average condition with about 4500 hours brought $7000. Good straight old tractor but needs tires all the way around. Looked a bit weathered in spite of a nice machine shed on the farm. The filters hadn't been changed in so long they were rusty. Oil was black. That was a common problem on both tractors and both combines. A Gleaner M2 diesel with a six row corn head brought $5000. Good straight old combine. Possibly the bargain of the sale if somebody needed a second combine. Went to Wisconsin. A 3 point hitch 3 bottom plow in very good condition brought $500. It looked like all of the equipment had been sitting inside for a few years. |
