Pics with Results-Consignment Sale at El Dorado Springs,

Yesterday March 27th I attended the 52nd annual consignment auction held by Beatty Implement ...Its located 2 miles west of El Dorado Springs,MO on Hwy 54...It used to be held on Washingtons Birthday but was moved back some for better weather...It was a beautiful day with the temp around 70 degrees...As usual there was a huge crowd there..At one time a few new IH tractors were sold thru there and it was also once a White Farm Equipment dealer...The late Bill Beatty used to buy lots tractors out of central and western Kansas...It was nothing to see two loaded semis sitting there with 4 tractors on each one..Over the years thousands of tractors have gone thru there..

This is my first farming tractor ever...I purchased this 1968 model 856 IH at the Beatty Implement Company Washington's birthday sale in Feb 1974...I remember paying about what it sold for new....It had been a 12,000 lb SS pulling tractor from 1968-70 and I knew the tractor well..It had lots of mods done to it and could turn 190 horses in the field and almost twice that on the pulling track..When it was brand new it had a King Brothers IH pulling kit put on it at Arcola,Illinois....I used that tractor for both farming and pulling from 1974-1985 and it stayed together...With factory 24.5's on the inside and 18.4 duals on the outside it was almost impossible to get it stuck..I got called many times to pull out neighbors stuck tractors and combines...It still had the original TA in 1985 but every once in awhile it wouldnt shift to low.

The 856 in Feb 1974.

1206SWMO,

Always enjoy your auction pics/prices posts... especially the old stuff.

Thanks for the post/pictures. Prices seemed to be good for the good stuff.

thanks for the time and effort to post these auction results, Blaine.

Thanks for taking your time to share.

Sorry,but I just cant remember the price of it.

Thanks to you and everyone else for all the kind compliments....Its time consuming but its fun to do...Right now I dont have any future sales to attend but maybe another one will show up..

You do a better job than machinery Pete ! Thanks .

That's fine... I was guessing it wasn't on your radar. Thanks for all your posts.

Thanks for taking the time to post these. Looks like some pretty decent prices on some things if you needed them.

not to be wise guy why do people buy wire tie balers?

They like the fact that that can put about half again as much hay in one bale and it wont bust open. And they are definitely against wussy hands!!

because you get a better bale that has some feed

Very nice write up with pictures thank you John
