A bit fewer agricultural tractors than usual went under the hammer: 71 of them. Besides tractors with many hours of use, there were also a number of new tractors. As expected, they were no real bargains, but all of them were well below the new price. But beware: all machines are as is and without warranty. So if there is something wrong with the new tractor in the future, the question is whether the manufacturer is going to accommodate you. Chances are they won't.
These stands used to be full during auction days. Since corona, most of the bidders bid via the Internet.
Two days before the auction there are viewing days to see the tractors and machines up close. For tractors and other machines with engines, starting is allowed (if possible) but an extended test drive is not. Driving a few meters forward and backward is allowed.
One of the highlights of the auction is this John Deere 8800i Prodrive harvester. The 2017 machine has 2,524 hours (1,695 caging hours). The machine was hammered off at 104,000 euros.
Two young Claas Lexion 770 combines. The machine on tracks with 1,800 engine and 1,230 drum hours brought 172,500 euros. The machine next to it with 1,145 hours (including 863 threshing hours) brought 175,000 euros.
This unused Fendt 824 Vario in Profi Plus version (2023) has 10 hours on the clock and was sold for 180,000 euros. Auction costs added an additional 3,638 euros.
A new (2023) Fendt 724 Vario Gen6 in also the Profi-Plus version brought 187,500 euros. A bargain, if you look at Fendt's price list: a minimum of 334,042 euros. The auction costs (3,638 euros) and registration fees are then a pittance.
Twice unused Fendt 313 Vario Profi and a new 211S Vario Profi-Plus. All built year 2023 and hours of operation varying from 4 to 6 hours. They change hands for 100,000, 99,000 and 98,000 euros respectively.
Twice a Fendt 712 Vario. The front one is from 2005 and has 10,815 hours. The buyer counts down 36,000 euros for this one. The one with front loader is five years newer but has almost equal hours. 52,000 euros certainly doesn't seem like a bargain.
This 1995 Fendt 824 Favorit does not start during the viewing day and with 18,703 hours it already has quite a bit of experience. The new owner is daring it for 28,000 euros.
This fresh 2022 New Holland T7.270 has 565 hours on the clock and brought 126,000 euros.
This T7.210 Autocommand brought 55,000 euros. The 2015 tractor has over 4,500 hours.
A newer T7.260 in Bluepower livery brought slightly less: 54,000 euros. The 2017 tractor looks slightly sloppy. The hour reading is 5,707 hours.
These two old New Holland G170 with Supersteer had little interest from buyers. Left (1998) with 13,632 hours and gearbox failure, right with no year of manufacture and missing hours. For 6,000 and 9,000 euros you have a lot of violence for little money shall we say.
A 2020 John Deere 6130R with front loader and 2,330 hours went under the hammer for 92,000 euros, excluding auction fees.
Another 6R, but a 6155R from 2022. The tractor in Ultimate trim has an Autopower transmission and Command Pro armrest. 123,000 euros.
This 2005 John Deere 6320SE has 2,065 hours according to the counter, but could also have as many as 12,065 hours. It didn't stop the buyer from paying 26,000 euros for it.
Three Massey Ferguson 6718S tractors brought between 50,000 and 56,000 euros. The tractor pictured had the lowest hours and also a front hitch and became the most expensive of the bunch.
A whole row of Claas Axion 800 tractors including four 810 C-matic. They brought between 58,000 and 65,000 euros.
On the left, an almost new (2023) Claas Axion 800 Cis Hexashift with 275 hours. On the right, a 2018 Axion 830 C-matic with 4,747 hours. They brought 104,000 and 69,000 euros, respectively.
This Valtra N135 Direct with front loader is from 2022 and has 182 hours on the clock. The tractor brought 98,000 euros.
This T175 Direct from 2022 also has a front loader. For 120,000 euros, the buyer has a tractor with 725 hours.
This Case IH CS 130 in Bavaria trim. Built in 2000 and only 8,500 hours of operation. The tractor brings 19,500 euros.
Two more tractors for in the "lots of violence for little money" category: two Case Internationals 7220 tractors from 1995 with unknown hours. These 147 kW (200 hp) tractors cost (from left to right) 12,500 and 16,500 euros.
Twice a Deutz-Fahr 6190 TTV. On the left from 2015 with 3,800 hours for 59,000 euros. On the right, one from 2014 but with 9,000 hours: 34,000 euros.
At the auction many young machines from Amazon. For example, this year-old (2020) Amazon Ceus 5000-2TX disc harrow with seeder. 41,000 euros seems a good deal for the new owner.
Or these two Catroses. Both unused (2023). The towed Amazon Catros+ 6002-2 brought 40,000 euros, while the carried version (5002-2) was hammered down for 29,000 euros.
A row of Kerner cultivators. A Stratos 600 for 31,000 euros and a Stratos 500 for 23,000 euros.
Lemken had also brought in some young machines and parts. Including this Azurit 10 and Solitair from 2021 and 2022 for 46,000 euros.
Finally, a 2016 Amazon DE 6000-2C Super that changed hands for 28,000.
