You can buy any used tractor and have it crap out the minute you get it home - with no warranty unless you're buying from a dealer. Some went way high, some went real low. Some stuff went for next to nothing. With the Deere 300B hoe I bought, I've been looking for one for years. They often bring $8000-$9000 in nice shape and often over $4000 in non-running condition. So, it was an excellent deal for $4000 - although I didn't want to spend the money. Those tractors tend to bring $5000 - $6000 with no hoe and loader - it's basically a Deere ag 1020 painted yellow with better hydraulics. I'm no big fan of Russian tractors - but the Belarus 925 turbo with 4WD was like new with only 400 hours on it. A 100 horse 4WD tractor of any kind is a steal at $5000. That thing sold new for $25,000 in 1996. The little Fordson Dexta ran great, had a hi-low range transmission and an overhead-valve gas engine. That was also a good buy for $700. A one-row potato planter went for $50 and they are pretty scarce. Of course, if I had bid on it, there's not telling how much higher it would of went.
