Not able to attend but saw that a 4520 P.S.[one of 1662] brought $64050, a 720 HiCrop $49,875,and a 1970 4020 Hi crop[one of 282] brought $49,875 all had the 5% buyers fee included and if they had a reserve the 9% sellers fee would be deducted.The near perfect restorations still bring good money but anything less is discounted.There were a couple of nice 4320s that had huge 710 tires that should have been bought and changed to correct tires.The one Mecum auction I attended that a low houred original H brought $40K still is the most amazing. I believe it had a reserve of around $5K.I know of a UDLX that brought $140K and lost money for owner.It just proves the that the current low commodity aren't a driving force in the collector tractor market.Mecums do an excellent job of promoting and if you were on their mailing list the sale catalog was very impressing.
