Market value is whatever someone will pay for it. That may vary from one region of the country to another for each model and make of tractor. Here's what I would do: Take a bunch of clear crisp pictures of it from all angles. List the tractor on ebay with a ridiculously high reserve price (say $25,000). That way it's highly unlikely the reserve will be met, therefore you are not obligated to actually sell it if you don't want to. Include a detailed description of the tractor, serial number, equipment, condition, etc. Then sit back and wait to see what kind of bids come in. If you do want to sell it you now know what the national market price is. Chances are you might do better than that with a serious collector who can actually see, hear and touch the tractor, but the ebay number will give you a ballpark figure to start with. At any rate you should contact the high bidder and let him know you "might" be interested in selling it at that price in a few weeks after you've had time to "think about it" and see if he's willing to still pay that price after a waiting period. Then you'll know how serious he is. My opinion only. Other opinions may also have merit!
