The Sinclair Tractor dispersal sale establishes record breaking prices for combines.

A massive John Deere dealer inventory reduction auction scheduled for next Tuesday (June 30) has an estimated $20 million worth of equipment up for sale, reports Dan Sullivan of Sullivan Auctioneers (sullivanauctioneers.com), the firm conducting that auction. “This is one of those huge sales that can establish price trends for equipment for the summer,” he adds. “It will be one of the largest auctions we will hold this year.”

And that is saying a lot as Sullivan Auctioneers wraps up a massive two-day no-reserve dealer and farmer auction today (June 26).

Sullivan Auctioneers’ consignment auction to be held June 25 and 26 is a sign of the times with the vast majority of farm machinery now selling online.

A vintage Deere 4WD brings a record $148,000 at auction.

Auction houses responded to the COVID-19 crisis by swapping live auctions with online sales . . .and the response has been positive with buyers and sellers.

Last season’s difficult harvest is affecting stored grain this spring. So start checking each bin weekly starting now until next harvest.
