Unless there were collectors there buying none would bring any real money here. There would be more money if they had cabs for people looking for workers, but this is MN and most people want cabs.

The MM would go real low unless a collector was there. Just don't see any workers in the area and most younger farmers don't know of any parts source and don't care.

The Oliver might bring a little more but again to get top money it would have to be with a collector. Big thing again is parts and support.

The MF might bring fair money but the Local dealer support is terrible. Lot of guys right now looking at trading any AGCO supported equipment for Deere or CaseIH because of the change in the dealers.

A White 2255 w/ cab and Massey 1150 both running condition are auctioning this Saturday in So Illinois. Some on here will likely attend and can report results on here. Also couple MM G1000 to be auctioned.. Have seen Oliver 1355 fully restored bring 12K (cab)at auction couple yrs back. I think AGCO discontinued selling AGCO branded tractors while back, but the company is alive and well projecting sales at 10B dollars world wide for this year. AGCO sales are up 9% over last year so far probably due in part to the new super series combine release in August.

Allis now is Gleaner and MF. Also is New Holland.

would paint it.

I was referring to my area. We had a great AGCO dealer for many years, or should say AC then AGCO. Couple of years ago the 2 brother who owned it decided to sell out and retire. The person who bought it has another dealership and we went from parts and service pretty close to pretty poor support. Lot of guys in my area with AGCO supported equipment are pretty disappointed whit what it's become. I'm one of them. I'm now driving 40 miles one way for parts and not to the other guys dealership. Currently in this area if you want decent parts and service you have JD and CaseIH/New Holland to pick from.

1150 would bring 5-6000 here, cant tell about the others.

The Agco dealer here told me he did kind of the same thing with a new manure spreader. All the new ones say Agco on the tag whether they're decaled as a New Idea,Massey or Agco. He had a customer who wasn't going to settle for anything but a New Idea. Said it's all his Grand Dad ever had,all his Dad ever had and all he'd ever had. So they ordered a new one and it came in with Massey decals. He said he steamed them off,put New Idea decals on it and delivered it. Said the customer was happy as a lark.

Location and condition is a huge factor. Where are these tractors selling, and what condition are they in? Here in Ontario if the tractors were in average useable condition the 1150 would probably bring $6K-$7K. The 1355 and 2255 $8K-$10K, maybe even more if two collectors decide they need them.
