BIG Tractor

mj · Dec 13, 2008

This one came off of a ranch S. of Montrose, CO in the last month - A 1917(?) Emerson-Brantingham. It was running in the past 10 years but is stuck right now.

It will up for sale at auction the first week of February, 2009.

Weight is right at 5 tons; best guess ...... :roll:

Imagine how proud that farmer was when it made it onto his property back in the day!Any idea how much that tractor is worth? anyone?

I'd say that should bring a premium price at auction, all the sheet metal is there and look how straight it is.

Will it sell at Jim Flowers winter consignment sale? It would have more exposure at Western Imp's Sale at Grand Jct.

Whew, I'd say that miniature Dodge Ram is an even rarer sight. ; )

Depending on which Big 4 model that is it would be worth between $40,000 and $150,000 according to Dean & Swenson's book

Yes, it will be up at Jim's first but it could have a reserve on it and so then would probably be at the W. Imp. sale as Jim is the auctioneer for them, too.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too :lol: Here's another angle but the EB is still [b:cdc5cae649]HUGE![/b:cdc5cae649]

When I talked to Jim about it he said that back when it was bought (1918?) it was brought on the train to Grand Junction and that the new owner ROADED it to the ranch south of Montrose ..... it took 48 hours driving time to make the trip! :shock: I'm going to find out who the owner is and see if I can get some more info ..... to me, this is like finding a warehouse full of new, crated Model T Fords or a brand new, un-fired Hawken .... I'm thinking that it was shedded all this time .... pretty amazing!
