Starting next week, there’s an exciting event coming to MachineryPete.com. Greg Peterson shares the details of the event, some auction prices to report from Indiana and Illinois, and where he’s going to be this week.

This AgriTalk podcast is brought to you by Resistance Fighter.

Mondays mean Machinery Pete on AgriTalk. He shares some highlights of auctions in Iowa and Minnesota from the weekend, new record prices on John Deere 4020 and 4230 tractors, his pick of the week, and the official kickoff to farm machinery auction season.

Machinery Pete’s pick of the week wasn’t fond at an auction, and is a piece of agriculture history. He also shares a story about the first row crop tractor manufactured by John Deere selling at an Illinois auction, as well as a touching human interest story about a store manager in Missouri.

The average auction price for a 1974 IHC 1466 in 2018 is $6,363. Machinery Pete’s pick of the week sold for $10,500 at an auction in north central Ohio. He shares other prices from that auction, as well as an upcoming farm estate auction in Kansas at the end of the month. He also shares how Machinery Pete customers can receive a Machinery Pete Yeti.

Machinery Pete’s pick of the week is a John Deere 569 round baler that sold in a retirement auction in Tennessee. He also talks about some auction sale price reports from across the country—from New Hampshire to Washington.
