The Case 350 dozer I mentioned yesterday had 440 hours on it. The gentleman who owned it didn't use it a lot obviously, just recently had a triple bypass and couldn't use it anymore. The dozer really did look almost new. It brought $9600. The way the gent who bought it was bidding, I had the impression he was willing to go quite a bit more if he had to. Jeff bough a pile of 25-30 used cedar fence stakes for $5 and a round bale feeder. I latched on to a couple of piles of sap bucket covers for $100. Turned out to be 256 covers in the piles. Didn't figure $.39 apiece was too bad. I had counted 200 or more rough count, so I had a pretty good idea what I was getting. I had outbid a young fellow on both piles. There was a third pile there and I passed them up and let him have them. Jeff bid on a few other things and got outbid on all of them. He said they ?were worth more than he bid on them, but he didn't need any of them immediately so he passed them up. There was a Hesston baler that looked in very good shape without a bale thrower on it. (720 Oliver ?) I didn't see what it sold for.
