Rather than highlighting a single piece of equipment, an entire auction earns Machinery Pete’s Pick of the Week honors.
On Oct. 2, Machinery Pete traveled to Southington, Ohio, for the Chalker’s Auction & Equipment sale that featured a few attention-grabbing sales:
- 2011 John Deere 6430 Premium with 413 hours and no loader sold for $90,000, only $1,000 shy of the all-time high auction price on this model with no loader.
- 1991 John Deere 8760 with 5,763 hours sold for $50,000.
- 1993 John Deere 7800 with 2,859 hours sold for $75,000.
Looking Ahead: A Busy Triple-Header in Georgia
The momentum continues later this week as Rebel Auction Co. hosts a three-day run from October 8 to 10:
- Thursday: Monthly Heavy Equipment Farm and Truck Auction in Hazlehurst, Ga., featuring a massive lineup of 79 skid steers.
- Friday: Absolute Surplus Gov & Utility Auction that will take place online.
- Saturday: Absolute Retirement Auction for Cason Creek Farms in Louisville, Ga.
Machinery Pete plans to be in attendance at the retirement sale. John Anderson, chief operating officer with Rebel Auction Co., is optimistic about setting a few Machinery Pete records with featured equipment such as:
