2008 JD 8130 MFWD tractor with 575 hours: $121,000I shot some great video of the sale today and will try to get the video highlights posted here on the web site this weekend. I also have great video footage to post from the auction I shot Thursday in southwest Kansas. Check back for those goodies.
** DENVER, IOWA: "THE CLEANEST LITTLE TOWN IN IOWA" **
On my drive home from Illinois this afternoon I stopped to gas up in the small farming town of Denver, Iowa. Denver is just north of Waterloo a bit. As soon as the fuel began to flow I heard, "Machinery Pete, is that you?" It was a new friend, Romaine Schweer. Romaine has been reading my "Machinery Pete" yakkings for a while now :-) He told me about his JD 4020 high crop tractor. Next time I'm down through Denver, IA I'm going to try to arrange to drop by and visit Romaine to shoot some video of his 4020 high crop. Oh, thanks again for reading Romaine!!
*** ANOTHER JD 4020 STORY FROM TODAY ***
After the auction today Jeff from southeast Iowa came up to show me a cool pic of his collection of 1971 JD 20 Series tractors. Included in the beauties was a sweet low hour 4020 he bought some years ago for around $22K. Jeff said he always felt like he paid too much for it.....don't worry Jeff, that low hour 4020 is probably worth even more $$ today.
