Remember (how could you forget?) that online farm estate auction June 18th in Beardsley, MN I blogged about Thursday night, the sale with the 1983 John Deere 8820 combine with 15.5 engine hours and the 1990 John Deere 9600 with only 311 engine hours? (here’s the blog: https://discuss.machinerypete.com/t/1983-jd-8820-combine-with-0-sep-hours-to-sell-at-auction/1169).
Yeah, that sale.
Well, couple of slightly interesting tractors for sale on this auction as well. And when I say “slightly”, I don’t really mean slightly...I mean...Wow:
