Strong Prices. Strong Participation. A Big Win for Buyers and Sellers.

February 24 was a big day for Tractor Tuesday and our zero-commission auction platform.

This marked our first major auction event featuring a lineup of inventory from a major dealership partner, GHS Equipment, alongside several strong private sellers. The results speak for themselves.

We saw aggressive bidding, excellent participation, and multiple pieces that exceeded expected auction values. Demand was especially strong for late-model, higher-horsepower equipment.

High-Value Equipment Led the Way

Here are a few standout results from the day:

2021 Case IH 340 AFS Connect Rowtrac with 1,699 hours – Sold for $225,500

This late-model Rowtrac drew steady bidding all the way to closing. High-horsepower track machines continue to command serious attention, and this one proved it.

2022 Case IH 8250 with 358 separator hours – Sold for $304,500

Low-hour combines bring confidence, and buyers showed up strong. With just 358 separator hours, this 8250 pushed beyond conservative expectations.

2019 Case IH 8250 with 650 separator hours – Sold for $236,500

Another very solid result in the flagship combine category. Clean, well-maintained late-model machines continue to perform extremely well in the current market.

2023 Vermeer 605N with 3,773 bales – Sold for $36,000

Nearly new balers with documented bale counts continue to generate competitive bidding. This 605N delivered a strong finish.

Higher-End Equipment Is Moving

Across the board, newer, premium equipment led the charge. Buyers are willing to step up for quality machines with strong specs and low hours. Several of these final prices exceeded expected auction values, reinforcing that the right platform, strong marketing, and a competitive closing environment still drive results.

A Big Moment for Dealership Partnerships

This auction was particularly meaningful as our first large-scale event with GHS Equipment, combined with private consignments.

Dealerships do not take liquidation sales lightly, and farmers are often reluctant to risk selling at auction as well. That is exactly why our zero-commission structure matters.

When sellers use Tractor Tuesday, they keep 100 percent of the winning bid.

We fund our operations through a 5 percent buyer’s premium, capped at $7,500. There is no luxury tax on high-dollar machinery. Whether a machine sells for $150,000 or $350,000, the premium caps out. Buyers understand the structure, and as this auction showed, it does not suppress bidding.

If you are a dealership looking at inventory management, or a farmer considering a change, the question becomes simple. Why go anywhere else?

More dealership liquidation auctions are already in the works, and if February 24 was any indication, the market is ready.

Stronger prices. Fairer structure. Superior experience.

That’s what Tractor Tuesday is all about.
