    Excitement at the county fair!! --No Tractor

    Our County Fair still does Out Of The Field 8k 11k 13k 15k classes. Are they all stock tractors? No, but most of them came off the baler and grain cart to the pull. It's actually happening this Friday. They used to do Grain Truck races which were great. They tried a Combine Demo Derby for a few...

    Rough Value of a MF30 loader backhoe

    Actual working value as a machine is probably 7,000. Finding a buyer willing to pay more than 3,000 is gonna be tough. Old backhoes that aren't a case 580 or Deere 310 just don't bring any money. Be ready for some ignorant low-ball offers.

    Thanks for watching! It really is something cool to see and hear. The whistles echo a little different at night too.

It's a neat show to see and they got the pulling sled fixed just in time to run a steam tractor down the track towards the end of the video. They hook three different steam...

    Awesome Custom Cub Tractor Collection

    It was at Kinzers Rough & Tumble Steam Show two weekends ago. I believe the owner was a gentleman out of New Jersey. There was a ton of cool stuff there running all day. https://roughandtumble.org/

    Awesome Custom Cub Tractor Collection

    https://youtu.be/IK2WGmyUH3A This is one man's Farmall Cub Collection that was at the Kinzers Rough and Tumble show the other weekend. Some pretty impressive work went into these tractors. Personally I liked the Graders the best.

    More Farm Truck Races- Tandem Axles

    https://youtu.be/pgkOrTzz874 Here is the second half of the Grain Truck Races. These are all the Tandem Axle Trucks. There were some tri axle dumps that snuck in there too. Still just as fun as the Singles, maybe even more so.

    Farm Truck Race

    https://youtu.be/j3oZQFcldew Here is this year's Grain Truck Race from the 4H Fair. These are the single axle trucks. The idea is you race to the end of the track, get out and throw two straw bales from one end to the other, and reverse back to parallel park where you started. Pretty fun...

    Painted top of cab white

    There is a big time excavating contractor here that paints the roof white on every piece of equipment they own. Probably over 150 units now. Mostly because it helps keep the black cabs cooler but it's also clear who's equipment is out there working. I've been told it makes a huge difference...

    Skid Steer

    Don't get anything used newer than 2007. You can't afford to fix it. Many good machines from 1990-2007.

    Toy Tractors

    First thing to do is have a price in mind. What do you realistically want for your collection? Second thing is cut that number by about 60-75%. That's most likely the offers you will get to take the whole thing at once. You can sell them all at auction but 200 lots isn't enough for one sale...
