Tractor values

[DALE B]

I have 2 ford high crop tractors that i want to sell but don't know the value one is a1957 950 factory high crop it came from out east ( not worn-out like many from down south ) i did a major on the engine and it has less than 40 hours on it , very good tires and a new paint job 10 years ago.
The other one is a Jubilee high crop the motor was rebuilt when i first bought it , it has less than 20 hours in the rebuild also has the 3 speed aux transmission ahead of the 4 speed giving it 12 speeds so that would be 4 under 4 standard and 4 step up speeds steering is very tight and will do almost 30 mph mostly used for tractor driver and parades i can send pictures of both if you need them . just send me an address to send them to. Selling because of my age.

In my amateur opinion they should be worth at least 10,000 dollars each. If you have time I would advertise at 12,500 dollars each then if no takers after a few weeks keep dropping the price by 500 dollars until they sell. I would warn you in that I think the tractor market is a little soft at the moment so it is possible you might get less than they are worth versus marketing them for several months pricing on the high side.

Might be worth sending them to a Mecum auction.

I agree with NY 986.....I think $10,000+ is a great starting point. Definitely wait for "that" buyer if you can. May take a little while but that guy is out there looking! Advertising them everywhere will help! Beautiful 900, by the way

To my knowledge Mecum no longer has tractor auctions so Aumann or some other venue will be a choice. To the OP, surely don't consign them to a local consignment auction.

It's extremely hard for anyone that is not intimate with Ford high crops to place a value on those tractors, especially based upon one picture of one tractor. I suggest you ask this question on a Ford tractor specific group. I can tell you that IF there are more than a couple of that model around that the paint must be perfect and they also must be totally correct in every way to bring top money. However if they are truely 'rare" (a much abused word in the antique tractor world) that they will bring good money no matter what. Back to your tractors, unfortunately few people they buy such tractors care if they are totally rebuilt. If they run OK, don't leak and look great, that's what they care about, it isn't like they are going to work them. You can't go wrong taking them to one of Kurt Aumans auctions, you may not get what you think they are worth but you will get what the rest of the BUYING world thinks they are worth which is a whole different world than the rail birds throwing out prices while holding on to their wallets, LOL
