I'd like to get some neat old horse drawn hay making pieces that are in very good usable shape. Things that are made for horses to pull, but that I could also easily switch out hitches for tractor use when I want to. I inspected everything at this auction and had my heart set on an IH rake in excellent shape and a JD Big 4 sickle mower with sharp new blades. Couple of very, very nice steel wheel hay wagons, too. Well, all I could afford were these three old metal pieces, photo below, for $2. The rake went for $1,000 and the sickle went for about $700. I thought I might go up to $800 for the sickle, but then I decided if I'm going to spend that much, I'm going to get an IH one to match my tractor. Hay wagons $1,000+ each. Pretty spendy, don't you think?
huge metal wheel movable sawmill $6,500
8' tandem disc, horse drawn $1,550
painted manure spreaders $1,750 each
one horse open sleigh (which I should have bought) only $125
super cute little tilt bed wagon (I should have bought) $250
crazy little short spiked smoothing thing, two 4' sections together was (WHAAAT? WHY?) $800!!!??? I don't get it. Why? That 8' disc was crazy price, too.
Instead of getting the equipment I was so set on, I bought a homemade Amish pie on my way out.
