Two Notable One-Owner Tractors

Machinery Pete attends an Iowa auction—the first sunny and warm auction day in the past 20 events he’s attended.

Up on the auction block on June 6 were two notable one-owner John Deere tractors. Machinery Pete travels to Floyd, Iowa where highlights include: a John Deere 4440 tractor with only 3,260 hours and a 1967 John Deere 4020 tractor with 4,100 hours.

From 2000 to 2005, Machinery Pete recorded only 4 John Deere 4400s to sell for more than $30,000. After this sale, the total sold for that amount from 2006 to present is 28.
Pete has a little fun at the end of the video and shows logos of the 95 equipment manufacturers in alphabetical order.
