Auction prices for farm equipment remain strong, as shown by a recent sale held by Sexton Auctioneers in Pomona, Missouri. According to a May 4 announcement, a 1999 Bobcat 773 skid steer with only 291 hours was sold for $20,500. This marks the highest auction price for this model in nearly two years.
The same consignment auction also included a 2026 Bobcat T770 with seven hours that sold for $68,500 and a historic 1916 Luverne wrecker truck that fetched $18,750. Another sale organized by Merit Auctions featured equipment from three dealers and highlighted high prices paid for late-model tractors. A 2023 John Deere 9RX 540 with just under four hundred hours brought in $440,000. Two Fendt 936 Vario tractors from the same year were sold at $268,000 and $266,000 respectively—both among the top prices recorded—and two John Deere 8R 410 models from this year reached sales of $372,000 and $318,000.
Looking ahead to upcoming events of interest to farmers and collectors alike: Machinery Pete has pointed out an upcoming two-day consignment auction on May 8 and May 9 in Markleville, Indiana hosted by Jeff Boone Auction & Realty. The event will include equipment such as a Case IH Boxcar Magnum tractor from the late eighties with over three thousand hours logged. In July during Historic Farm Days in Penfield, Illinois—a four-day event—Alex Kerr of Kerr Auction is set to organize what is described as a “historic tractor auction” on July 9 featuring Allis-Chalmers machines along with other brands like International Harvester’s Black Stripe model and John Deere’s diesel-powered JD4000.
