http://fraleyauction.com/auctions.htmlhere is a link to the auctioneer, stopped by today and they both seem very clean. Only thing that puzzles me is the tires on the Gleaner are shot, almost as bald as I am! but I don't think they are original.

Like Eric said that K2 kinda puzzles me too. The drive tires are BALD!!!!!!! and they are turf tires. I dont think they came factory with turf tires. So in my thinking a K2 with 2 something thousand hours has worn through 2 sets of drive tires????????? The other thing puzzling is I knew the owner and he was EXTREMELY fussy. If I didnt know better I would question as to why those tires are so bald. Eric are you going to the sale?

Planning on it, I think the tires were just swapped with a backhoe since they look like R4 tires. Don't think they're turf tires

That gleaner package is a great combination for any farm, but nearly perfect for the PA farm territory. Its a white top cab, so it should be a 1978 year with serial 25201-26200. Most 1979s had a black "Corn Plus" decal on cab top? If it is a 79' its serial would be 26201-26700. Both 78' or 79' versions had the orange 433T engine. Black 433Ts were later 1980-81'. The 565 hours on its clock make me wonder? Those machine's hr meters were notorious for quitting anywhere between 1100-1900 hrs. If its sitting on 565, its probably right... Closer wear inspections would divulge more accurate assessment. I think it will bring the following prices at a good PA farm auction:
1978 K2 diesel, hydraulic unloading auger, cloth seat, chopper, 10' head - $10-15,000 1978 A330 black corn head, short snouts - $4500

$15k for a K2!? Wow!
John's right. I didn't go to that one.
Which set of numbers is it? $1500 for a 185 sure sounds like a steal to me!

I stood there choking on my Copenhagen when that K2 hit $10k looking at Grump (my dad), both of us with jaws dropping. And I was just about to jump on that 185 at 3500 but someone else jumped in and it took off

Thats twice what we paid for our F2 corn soybean special with a 438 corn head, and I paid $5400 for our 185 about 10 years ago. I told grump we should have polished up our F2 brought it over and we could have upgraded to a M3 for less and had some boot money to play with. a nice JD 328 baler went $11500, a NH 311 baler went $4500, and a NI 325? 2 row narrow went $6500. hay racks went from $1900 to $7200

I got there just as Adam was milking what I heard as 2200 out of 185 and I asked a man leaning on the grain head about the price on the Gleaner since I missed it.

I bid on the K2, but didn't get it - way too high. Auctioneer talked to me after sale ended. He said the original owner purchased it new in 1979 & used it sparingly. 2nd owner bought it in 1990 and only picked 10 acres a year. He felt that the 565 hours was accurate. He said it was the cleanest one he'd seen. The gleaner package (K2, A330, & 10' header) sold for $15,200 to a NC buyer.

I found a much better deal today. At the annual Farmers Market meeting today, a friend from north east of me asked if I could direct him to the All Crop combine I knew a neighbor had. I drove him over to the place and we checked it out. He's looking for one to harvest dry beans. It had been in the 2013 flood but other then mud on the lower part of it, it didn't look too bad. The rollers are missing the rubber coating and no canvases. Asked the owner what he wanted for it, after hemming and hawing a minute he said $50. The check book came out pretty fast! Now we just have to dig it out, maybe after the snow melts and mud drys.

It just goes to show in this vast country we live in there are little treasures to find like this K2 with such low hours and in great shape after 35+ years of harvesting!! Now if I could only find a 220 FWA that someone has that does not know what its worth!! Ryan

That's a heck of a deal on the All Crop.
I don't know how much I'd want a machine with hours that low. Part of me would be concerned with the belts, hoses, and gaskets. My father always said (about cars) that the only thing that benefitted by sitting was the odometer.
It would be neat to own something that close to new, but I don't know if I could really live with it or not.
