Used tractors can be beautiful.

One of the sharpest looking used tractors I’ve ever seen sold for a new record high auction sale price on a recent consignment auction in southwest Indiana. The tractor was a 1995 model JD 7800 2WD with 1,679 hours. Check out the picture above.

Isn’t she a beauty?

It sold for $71,000, blowing away the previous record high auction sale price I’d ever seen on a JD 7800 2WD tractor, $62,250 for a 1995 model 7800 2WD with 3,454 hours on a November 23, 2010 farm auction in north-central Iowa.
