I’m from Oklahoma & the bank said that I was through farming in 1985. This is the 1st time I’ve seen 1 of your videos, I subscribed. I’m not into farming but I do like to see how it has changed.
Thanks for the walk through and explanation of the “southern” equipment. First time the algorithm popped your channel up, I found the peanut and cotton equipment interesting as well as the sale prices. Cheers 🍻 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Man. You can learn a lot of stuff from this video. Love your explanations, and the things you notice and point out about these older pieces of equipment. Love the John Deere and the dead deer! The Steiger "This is a man's tractor" comment is spot on. Steiger made "beast mode" tractors. Lot of them still running. And your accent is fun to listen to for my yankee ears. 😂
Thanks for watching Jay. I have 3 other recent auction videos plus another 2 each previous year in January. I make weekly farm videos explaining what/how/why I am doing things with lots of unique close up camera angles of the equipment working.
Also Flint equipment and Lasseter Equipment and Tidewater alot of times will send their used trade ins to auction. Whatever close by auction is happening they will send them. Alot of them around here go to weeks auction unless there's a local auction happening nearby. Dealers no longer want to keep used/trade ins on the lot anymore, only new.
Four dollar corn makes for big sales in pencil sharpeners! I watched an old sales video of that Crustbuster and interesting how he noted with the big bin vs typical row bins a farmer saves as much time filling hoppers as having a planter twice as wide; which reminded me of the old AC WD tractor dealer video that showed charts of the number of acres a day covered by implements with their tractor lineup. It would be good to see how to best calculate the right size of tractor and say corn planter to the number of acres. When I did it for my area I can put corn in the ground for six weeks and while taking out weekends, nights, and rain/repair/maintenance delays I was surprised at the total number of acres that could be planted with simple 4, 6, or 12 row "old" planters. This time of year every farmer is itching to get the seeds in the ground but the novelty must wear off on the big ranches after two weeks, "need a wider planter mr banker".
Thanks for watching! As far as I know, the only red tractors ever owned by my direct lineage were Massey Ferguson. My grandad bought a 165 new in 1964, dad owns it now. Dad briefly own a MF 225, and I currently own a MF 135. None of us have ever owned a Case IH, but I do have some videos of me driving one during corn harvest. My brother-in-law owns a red Versatile and I have 6-8 videos of it.
@@shanecullan3904 Only the really big operations buy new. On 1000 acre farms like mine, I'm using equipment from the 60'and 70's. Second hand gear is dearer than when it was new.
Does the auction company charge a buyer’s fee, most us up in Canada are getting tired of this fee from Ritchie Bros, there are a couple auction companies that not have that fee, prefer to buy from them
@@ClevelandBaldwin-w2n works great in some soils. I farm red clay, it doesn’t work here. The fresh stripped clay needs at-least 30 minutes before planter wheels hit or it gums up the depth wheels. If I had sandy loam I would prefer that setup.
Anyone know of any Oxbo or Byron power units coming up for sale . I have a Byron 8400 looking to update to pick sweet corn Kallstrom Sweet Corn of Ephrata , Washington .
I ran a JD 4200 4/18 flip plow. Had to grease the pivot 2x daily because it would not roll over after a few hours. In furrow didn't bother me, I have always been told I was a little off, anyhow.😂😂 Great video, love to see different equipment from different areas.
I'm surprised you didn't comment on the fact that Steiger is a PTA with the Allison auto, which is probably why it was living on a pan. Those PTA's have a reputation for being the toughest of the tough pulling a pan with that torque converter drive. I was watching that sale on and off online, watching a few items but never put in a bid. Noticed Elite and Flint both put quite a bit on that auction. I think the highest selling tractor I saw was a new series 8R I believe small frame that brought $245K. Most of that late model equipment seem to be averaging about a third off retail. Notice too the price on the "junk" equipment seems to have really fell off compared to the last few years, I guess even the scrappers and scalpers have run out of money.
That Steiger lived on a dairy not far from the auction. Any pan tractor with that many hours is a bad son of a gun….especially if you saw that 18 yard pan sitting beside it.
About 10 years ago we purchased an Unverfurth 8 row strip till Bar from farmer in Ft Valley Georgia.... We ended up swapping it and a 1750 JD 6 row pull planter to another farmer for a 450 silage special baler....
I saw you eyeing on the red stuff like it was calling you begging you plzs take me home with you. Lol. I hate seeing that new stuff at auction. Like you said things not looking so good for 2024 season. I pray for yall. It’s hitting me hard also being a very small produce truck farmer.
I’m on the North Carolina Virginia line. North of Raleigh. I grow broccoli,cabbage,corn,all kinds of peppers, tomatoes.cucumbers,peas. Some of everything. Not big enough to stop 40 hr week to stay on the farm
I love going to farm auctions, especially if the “junky stuff” is there. It’s always comical to see what someone will drag out of the bushes and try to sell.
@@PatrickShivers You'd enjoy my neighbors estate auction middle of the month then, except Rowell is doing it and it is online only other than a preview day. The man was from the generation that came up in the depression and he didn't throw nothing away.
*it may have been replaced. I thought the color on it looked a little fresher than the rest of the tractor. The turbos on those heated up the hoods and ruined them
I go to DeWitt Auction out at Sikeston, MO a lot. Back when they were the top of the deere line there would be several new hoods in the auctions during those years, even the series after them
Sure seems like the 80s are coming back. Im most likely wrong im no expert but man, everything just feels like its about to drop out. Prices have been beyond comprehension for years now. The other shoe is dropping.
I cant decide if it is near the 80's or 90's. The 80's got you on debt when the interest rolled up, the 90's just broke you with low prices. Right now it honestly feels like more of the latter. $4 corn and $.80 cent cotton is a long way from LDP's, but those reference prices haven't been changed since the 90's and every cost we have has tripled, can't say the same for yields. Our average price on peanuts has dropped about $150 per ton from the end of quota in the 90's to about a $500 average the last few years. I just don't see how we can afford to get squeezed anymore between the cost of machinery, cost of seed/chem/fertilizer, trucking is eating a larger margin out as well, and then add another couple of points of interest onto an expanded operating line. I'll be damned if I know what to do anymore, I'm just riding this thing along with everyone else.
im in a pickle with my land I desperately need a 40 hp plus tractor does anyone know of any leads? The problem is I have a little money, where can a man afford a modest tractor? im in east tn
The IH with 2 PTO shafts in this video fits the description of what you are wanting. It didn’t sale b/c it didn’t meet $3,000 minimum. Check farm equipment auctions. They all have online bidding now. I would say on average an old, well used 40 hp tractor today is worth about $6,000-$10,000 depending on how old and how well used. New ones are $30,000
They Lost there tails farming is why they didn't wash it before they took it to the sale you need start growing hemp with the ripper strippers lol bet you make more money than cotton or peanut s and you probably get a lot of cheap labor to help harvest it by hand lol
Thanks for explaining what some of the equipment does.
That’s what this channel is all about. I have over 350 videos showing farm equipment & explaining how it works and why we use it.

Australian farmer here. Our dollar at 65 cents to the US dollar, we are paying about double here for what Americans pay for their equipment.
😳
Then quit buying American made equipment..
God help you
Most of our US farming equipment is made in China. And assembled in country of sell.

Hey patrick im sorry i ment how do think the 8520s compares to the 8530s as far as power and what not?
8530s are just the newer version of 8520s. I think they added 20 hp.

Only $11,000 for the JD 5046E municipal used tractor????
Yes, with only 800 hours. That was a great buy for someone
Their wives and kids are downsizing their range rovers to fords and Chevys
International Harvester had the dual PTO shafts for probably 20 years.
I talked to some other farmers at the sale that were familiar with that. As far as I know, no one in my family lineage has ever owned an IH
It is a wonder that you are still in business!@@PatrickShivers
How would you compare that 8520 to your 8530 patrick?
I haven’t ran that 8520 so I don’t know much about it, but visually it showed more age. Perhaps a lot less barn kept time.
Im sorry I ment is there much difference in-between the 8520s and the 8530s. D
Is the 30 stronger?
Here in Washington State i count at least 13 auctions March 2024 , love this time of year !!!!!!

Great engines in those zetors, still hard working a bunch of those around us, horsepower is much bigger that is written on.
I know nothing about them, but it looked like a solid little tractor.
Thx for the video
