Usually the eye popping auction sale prices on John Deere 4020 tractors are on 1972 or 1971 models.
But not always.
Saturday (October 21, 2017) on a farm auction in Mt. Washington, KY, the 1964 model John Deere 4020 pictured below sold for $16,000 on a sale by my good friends at Jeff Boston Auction Service (http://www.bostoncentury.com). It was a diesel, power shift, had only 3,643 original hours, canopy and narrow front:
Of course Deere made the iconic 4020 model from 1964 - 1972. So how high is $16,000 for a 1964 model? Very high. In fact, $16,000 is tied for the 2nd highest auction sale price ever on a non “High Crop” 1964 model 4020.
