856 Farmall...

Goose · Jan 13, 2023

In 1981, I bought an 856 Farmall for $5600. I used it for 9 years and sold it for $5800.

Now, Kobza on line auction in David City, NE has a clean, original one with 8500 hours on auction. Bidding began at 5pm on Wednesday and is already up to $7150. From experience, I predict that price will almost double by the time the bidding ends next Wednesday.

But each price reflected the then current Dollar value. Still less money, unless it does double. The tractor if as good as it looks is a value at twice. Jim

I'm cheap and think they are over priced at over about 5000.00 now. After all they are over 40 years old now. while I would not probably buy another 806or 856 at this time. For what they will pay for them now I should sell mine and replace them with something newer and better hydraulics on them. Something like a 4955or maybe something along that line. IT would be more good to me in the future than the 2 older smaller tractors.

My brother bought this 856 a couple of months ago. He threw up his hand at an auction because it was at half the price that owner turned down 3 months earlier.

I saw this tractor come in, I was very impressed with the looks of it, talked to a brother of the owner, said the only reason to get to sell was he wanted something with more power, I used to have one, they were a very dependable tractor

Other than the high clearance and no fenders. It looks just like mine right down to the bent muffler.

I would buy every running unit I could for $5000 (diesel) each.

I paid $4100 for D282 706 2 years ago and was afraid I'd given to much. Haven't seen a running 706 go that cheap since much less a decent running 706. I've seen more than a few 560s priced more than $5000 as of late.
