A Cross-Section of Iron That Moved the Market

Today’s Tractor Tuesday auction delivered strong results across a wide range of equipment categories. From late-model high-horsepower tractors to classic restorations, from precision planting equipment to hay trailers and ag technology, the market showed depth and confidence. The best part for sellers is that they get to keep 100% of the winning bid, as Tractor Tuesday has no seller fees!

Here is a look at several standout sales that represent a true cross-section of today’s agricultural equipment marketplace.

2021 Fendt 1042 Vario – Sold for $294,500

The headline sale of the day was this 2021 Fendt 1042 Vario bringing $294,500. With just 1,611 hours, this late-model high-horsepower tractor attracted serious attention.

There is a strong possibility this sets a record for this model in this hour range. The 1000 Series Fendt tractors represent the premium end of the row-crop tractor market, and buyers clearly stepped up for a clean, well-maintained machine.

High horsepower continues to command strong money when condition and hours align.

1980 John Deere 4440 Fully Restored – Sold for $42,500

On the other end of the spectrum, this fully restored 1980 John Deere 4440 brought $42,500.

The 4440 remains one of the most iconic tractors ever built. When a machine of this caliber is fully restored and presented properly, the market responds. Collectors, smaller operators, and brand loyalists continue to show strong demand for classic Deere iron in premium condition.

This sale demonstrates something we see repeatedly. Condition sells. Presentation matters.

2013 John Deere DB60 36R20 – Sold for $78,000

Planters remain one of the most scrutinized pieces of equipment in today’s market. This 2013 John Deere DB60 36R20 with 33,246 acres brought $78,000.

Buyers are paying close attention to acres, upgrades, and overall wear. Despite the increasing customization in modern planters, solid, well-maintained machines continue to move when priced and marketed correctly.

As we head toward spring, urgency in the planter market remains real.

Case IH XCN-2050 Precision Display – Sold for $6,600

Precision technology remains a major component of today’s equipment market. This Case IH XCN-2050 display brought $6,600.
