Looking to get a rough value on a Model H with the original cultivator attachment (has been on it it's whole life as far as I know). Just looking to downsize, cannot feasibly keep the entire collection and are having to pick and choose. The tractor is completely restored, as is the cultivator. Manual lift model, not sure on exact designation. Tractor is equipped with electric start as well. Ran serial number info and have that documentation as well (delivery location etcetc). Has not run but could be brought to running condition (especially if it helps evaluation a lot), stored inside in a climate controlled building year around. Any help would be appreciated!
Yes I know. Tires are great condition. More concerned about how to price with the cultivator, as there aren’t many good condition examples that I can find with public prices. I found reference to one on tractor house but no sale price.
I don't believe a mounted cultivator will add much value to a collector tractor and could be a liability. Maybe try to sell it separately for a few hundred dollars?
One buyer interested wants cultivator on, as it’s original to when the machine left the showroom according to the documentation we have. Only been off during restoration or so I’ve been told.

By your comments I gather you didn't restore it. The words (completely restored) means many things to many people. How long ago was it restored? I think the cultivators would add $400.00 to a good running tractor with nice paint and rubber. Your location can have an influence on the value of your tractor. Where are you located? All that being said, I think $3400.00 would be a fair price for you and the byer, If it's running. A picture would be a great help>
If showing people want something to set their exhibit apart from the others. An implement helps do that. Especially one contemporary to the tractor. Everything has been done to tractors to make them look fantastic including mirror-like paint jobs.
I know who it was done by, done in the late 90s early 2000s. The tractor was never ran hard by the original owner, and after restoration it sat inside and only went to the occasional show (never run hard at all). The paint is perfect, shines like new, only some minor imperfections where the battery goes because one leaked at one point post-restoration. But it’s not super noticeable as it’s recessed. It’s in NY. Good rubber all around. I don’t have a picture handy, I can get one in a week or so when I’m back home.
Yeah we have some interesting ones where ours are stored, 830I, 330U, etc.

Now this has been a few years ago, but I was at a auction and they had two sets of cultivators and had a hard time getting 50 bucks out of the best one.

There has been a trend of displaying restored tractors with matching implements. Has that trend gone away?
I can understand that with a set that isn’t restored or not on a machine. But these cultivators have been on this tractor its entire life, it was sold new and bought back from same person. Thats what makes this setup unique: we didn’t add them on or anything, its been like this since the 40s
It’s not even that we added this on: this is the ORIGINAL implement that this tractor has been equipped with since the 40s. We know the farm it was sold to, who it was sold by, and we are technically the second owners.

Sounds like you’re putting a lot of emphasis on.. or maybe trying to take it away.. from the fact that bolts put in can be taken out. So to get the premium price that you want your originally paired equipment to bring you have to find the buyer that has a higher appreciation for that scenario. I see Hs are being priced at around $3000, so if you think this “paired cultivator” idea demands a premium then double the price rusty wheel gave you for the cultivator and make it $3800. Some how I get the feeling these numbers are lagging from what you have invested in it. This is a trend from 5 - 10 years ago, due largely to those who owned and used these machines are becoming less in number. Thus less demand for collector type machines of that era, thus values decrease.
The original bill of sale might help.

You seem to disagree with the values you were given. Are you wanting to sell it or just get opinions on its worth? What do you think it's worth? If you want to sell it what's your price?
The thing that people are basing it off of seems like to strip the cultivators off, or that they were added separately. This specific H has had cultivators its entire life. Now if that doesn’t make a difference ok, but it seems like that is getting ignored. I’ll upload pictures at some point in the next 2 weeks.

I'm beginning to wonder what you mean by completely restored.If the cultivators have never been removed, then is the paint origional? Probably Was any engine work done? Probably not. I can't imagine trying to paint a tractor with the cultivators on it, or doing any work on the engine for that matter. Low houred tractor probably didn't need engine work. All that being said, just what was done to "restore" the tractor? Again, I ask, what is your price? What do you think it's worth? I'm not ignoring the fact that the cultivators have never been off the tractor, I just don't think that adds very much to it's value.
Sorry I was unclear, the cultivators were removed during restoration, I think I mentioned that earlier up. I more so meant that they have been on the tractor since new, same set. They are original to the tractor. I’ll send pictures next week to clear it up.

It was sold new and bought back by same person. What does that mean? What is unique about that?
