Farm Equipment Auctions

Use farm classifieds to find farm machinery auctions within driving distance Actually seeing and testing the machinery will leave you in a better position than buying sight unseen, so look for the machinery you need within driving distance. With local auctions, you get the experience of attending a live auction, meeting with others in the agricultural industry and having the chance to buy multiple pieces of machinery.

I recommend:  With the Farm Auction Guide, find local and online farm equipment auctions and see the details of the auction. Tractor House also has an online calendar of farm machinery auctions in North America.

Search the online farm equipment auction sites The Internet has made it easier than ever to find the machinery that you need. Many online auction sites include farm machinery listings. Keep in mind that you'll either have to ship the equipment to your location or pick it up yourself, particularly with large equipment. You may be able to find local machinery for sale at one of the auction sites as well.

I recommend:  Ebay is one of the largest online auction sites and you can find farm equipment like tractors in the auction listings. Proxibid allows you to bid online for farm equipment.

Check prices before bidding in a used farm equipment auction You can find auction results online that will tell you about how much you should expect to spend for the machinery you want. Showing up at a farm machinery auction without knowing the average value can be a recipe for disaster as you'll often wind up spending too much.

I recommend:  Use the F.A.C.T. Reports at Machinery Pete’s to learn how much machinery sold for at past acutions or use their calculator for an estimate of worth. View auction results by the category of machinery at Tractor House.
