While it didn’t quite measure up to the sheer spectacle of the 2024 Summer Olympics, another Paris was making headlines over the weekend.
That would be in Paris, Missouri, where Wheeler Auctions & Real Estate held its annual massive July equipment sale.
“This sale is so unique; there’s literally everything – whether that be someone looking for an 8R or 9RX (tractor)…there’s 4320s and 1066 tractors, 1660 Case combines…there’s just a huge, huge variety,” Kirby Fecht, auctioneer, Wheeler Auctions & Real Estate, told Machinery Pete.
Machinery Pete – Greg Peterson was on the scene in The Show-Me State to check out all of the deals and check another box off his personal bucket list.
“I think in my 34 years it might be the largest sale with the most late model large equipment that I’ve ever seen,” Peterson told Chip Flory during his weekly segment on AgriTalk Radio.
