Age 10, I bought a Registered Hereford cow at a dispersal auction, to start my own herd. I've been going to auctions ever since. I love that challenge of bidding. But, I still get buyers remorse...for the stuff I bought, and the stuff I didn't buy.
Funniest thing I ever saw at an auction was at a feeder calf sale (at least 60 years ago). They cranked up the sale and one guy bought the first 3 lots through the ring. Suddenly they stopped the sale. The guy had not understood the process. He was bidding thinking that the price was for the whole animal...but the price was per 100 wt. Wasn't $35 per calf, it was $35 per 100/wt. ( they ran the 3 lots thru again). He was pretty embarrassed and left immediately. I'll bet his neighbors gave him a ribbing...for years and years.
Learned then to listen to the auctioneers explanation ...per item, whole lot...etc. And if it is confusing, I'll stop the auctioneer to get it straight.

Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
