Auction

David Beuhrer’s farm estate auction in West Unity, Ohio, will go down in the Machinery Pete record books after besting a record set in 2011.
A new digital auction house is offering zero commissions and a 2% buyer’s premium on used farm equipment.
Join the guys as they take a deep dive into the current state of the used sprayer market. If you’re thinking about buying or upgrading soon, you don’t want to miss this episode of the Moving Iron podcast.
On this week’s Moving Iron podcast, hosts Casey Seymour and Greg “Machinery Pete” Peterson take a close look at the typically volatile forage harvester market, which they agree is “just bumping along.”
From North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia, Machinery Pete gives a rundown on gems from the auction trail, including a “super sharp” 2013 John Deere 4730 sprayer that had prospective buyers “falling all over themselves” to get a bid in on it.
A trio of John Deere models sold for notable prices this past week in Illinois and Missouri on the used equipment auction circuit.
The Great White North of Minnesota has seen sub-zero temps and 30-mph wind this winter but very little snow. Machinery Pete is feeling left out, so he decided to share these cool machines that were made for the snow.
Auction prices for used equipment were mixed, with some items selling for higher prices and others for much lower, signaling a complex 2025 outlook.
Machinery Pete notes two record-breaking Massey Ferguson sales as well as one that came close to setting a new high mark in this week’s Pete’s Pick.
Semi demand continues to hold strong, particularly for low-mileage, earlier emission-tier models. For example, at a retirement auction in Missouri a year ago, a 2017 Peterbilt 389 Glider day cab semi with 34,493 miles sold for $350,000.
