A recent post about parting out tractors made me aware of my weekly reading material. In the Western Ontario Farmer, a weekly paper that serves the farming community there are several ads appearing that even list what is in, new, for wrecking ie)Just in for salvage: I-H 2504,1066,384,414,766 White 1370, 2-85,2-150,2-155,1465, Ford 8600,AC 1-600,200,190XT, MF1085,135 and Kubota 4150 4WD
There are four such ads from various wreckers listing the new salvage. There are also several ads under" WANTED" "Burned or damaged tractors in any condition top dollar paid" and there are several ads for farm tractor with or without loaders, any condition, top dollars paid. There are about 4 dealers across Ontario that buy tractors in any condition, amass 100's and then hold a spring or fall auction. I have gone to one of these auctions but never again. The auctioneer starts a bid on the tractor and after some time he just says "That's not enough money boys" and he moves on to the next..there are no bargains and the auctioneer makes sure of it. Many tractors at these auctions go across the border because of the exchange on the US dollar. So wrecking is big business and there's a demand for the parts that become available..it makes interesting reading...Mike in Exeter Ontario
