WHAT'S A NICE JD 8210 MFWD TRACTOR WORTH?
Well, how to accurately value a tractor like this? Best way I know how is to cross reference what other folks just paid for them. Check out the last (2) JD 8210 MFWD Tractors I saw sold at auction: JD 8210 MFWD tractor, 2941 hours, sold south-central MN: $87,750
2000 JD 8210 MFWD tractor, 2152 hours, sold east-central NE: $91,000The 8210 tractor listed above that sold for $87,750 was on a south-central Minnesota farm auction 6/11/09. Here a few other prices from that auction by my friend Gary Hotovec: 1997 JD 9600 combine with 4068 engine hours: $43,000
1995 JD 930 flex head: $6,100
2000 JD 9400 4WD tractor with 3943 hours: $83,000
JD Greenstar Auto Trac universal steering kit, used 2 years: $9,750
Elmers 24R-22 cultivator: $3,500
JD 440 44' folding rotary how: $7,100
1999 Mack CH613 semi tractor, shows 448,702 miles: $12,200
Westfield 71'x13" auger: $6,650
Kwik Kleen grain cleaner: $1,700
12,000 gal. above ground fuel tank: $4,500Note the JD Greenstar Auto Trac universal steering kit above, sold for $9,750. I've really been picking up on the increased buying interest when nice used GPS equipment appears on farm auctions. Watch for an upcoming "Machinery Pete" column in Successful Farming magazine featuring LOTS more recent auction sale prices on GPS EQUIPMENT.
** NEW WEB SITE FEATURE ROLLED OUT **
A few weeks back we added an exciting new feature to our web site. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. In our "auction results" section where our 220,200+ sale prices are listed, now users can click on any item and a pop up screen will show you all the other pieces of equipment sold on that auction. Pretty cool! So basically this is like putting YOU right at the auction with a complete sale price report in your hand....CONDITION, HOURS, LOCATION, SALE DATE, ALL THE SPECS, PLUS SALE PRICE on every piece of equipment on that auction. Now if you see a seemingly "strong" or "soft" sale price, one click and you can see how everything else sold on that auction. We've got a few MORE fun new wrinkles we'll be adding to the web site shortly also. Fun stuff you're going to love I'm sure. Keep checking back!
