Hi and a very Merry Christmas to all ! I was just looking at some of the Farmalls for sale on Ebay . Whew !!! Parts tractors are trying to be sold for $1500 !?! With a reserve price ! What's the reason behind this ? Are scrap prices that high ? Normal working class tractors with shoddy paint and less than average metal going for 2K or more ( just the " buy it now " price that is ) .
There's a tractor ( Farmall M ) for sale on there that's $28,000 . It's a hi-crop , if there is such a thing then I suppose it's very rare - but 28K ? I guess I should get off my arse and sell my broken transmission'ed M with a 9-speed for $2500 because that 9-speed is RARE ( sarcasm intended ) . I guess I live a sheltered life . The price of everything has skyrocketed and I can't keep up with it . Looks like there won't be any more Farmalls on this property if prices keep on the way they are . I know that ebay doesn't mimic auction prices to closely but as more and more people that don't care about the history of the tractors but only the profit potential get into the mix the collectors smile and everybody else loses . It's gonna be a sad time when we can't use a Farmall to work with because it'll be worth more just sitting in the barn staying clean . Take care everybody ! ...Randy
