2510 Solid Gold?

I was at a farm sale yesterday near Lincoln, Nebraska, and saw an average condition 2510 bring $12,500. Isn't that a little extreme? I don't know anything about that particular model. Were they built out of solid gold and then painted green?

There is that possibility that it was bought back by a family member who "just had ta have it" and that was the only way to get agreement out of the other heirs, assuming this was and ESTATE farm sale. If so, that particular result means little. Family "heirloom treasures" may mean a great deal more to a given family member than they do to some one else.

The "family" members of such families, after this kind of thing, sometimes never speak to each other again either. Greed does that! You should PITY the poor guy for spending that much, especially if it was this reason.

I'd have to agree Jd70Jim, something else had to be at play. Either that or the poor sap should be taken before the local mental health authority, for possible commital. Although a simple explaination may be that the man may be so rich that money means nothing to him. To each his own I guess. Greg H.

I borrowed a couple of copies of Green Magazine, a very interesting mag to say the least. It could be these fellows both got their copy of GM and looked the classified/photo ads in the back of the mag before the auction! The scary ones are those that don't have the prices on them.

I agree that that is a pretty high price to pay for that tractor. However, you have to remember that for the bid to get that high, there had to have been at least one other person bidding on it. I personally wouldn't spend that kind of money on that tractor, but a lot of people wouldn't spend the kind of money I spend on my tractors, either. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

I don't know what the underlying story might be, but there were quite a few of us standing around with drooping jaws. I heard the "these guys are nuts" comment more than once.

If the bidding went that high, those guys either hate each other and just wouldn't quit, or they knew/know something that everybody else didn't/doesn't. Maybe there was something special about the tractor. First one produced, last one produced, who knows. People are really starting to get around to collecting the New Generation tractors, so it could have been something special. I think the thing that will be neat about collecting New Generations is you can go clear through one, and then have a tractor you can still use for a myriad of things. I know that two-cylinders are still very useful tractors, but it seems like when you see one that is restored to a T, it simply becomes a trailer queen. In my humble opinion, it's better for a tractor to be ran and worked once in a while, rather than simply putted around on or trailered everywhere. It kinda goes back to the little old lady who never drove her car over 25 mph and never left town - it may look good, but it probably isn't going to run worth a darn.

AMEN G-MAN!!! I'm all with the idea about still using the old things. Im not extreme to the point of only using 2cyls, but they are still very useful. My 4240 is very nice when it comes to disking 150 acres. But the old B is great for raking hay or sewing wheat. I just hate to see a perfectly good tractor only getting ran 5 hours a year when they are only going to deteriorate in the shed. Why not get some use out of something that you've got so much in.

A 2510 is a good tractor and there are two good examples within 2 miles of me, but for that price, it would have to be mint, and a rare Hi-Crop with LP or something rare like that. Good 4020's will bring in that range, tho.
