In Reply to: Bidding at Auctions posted by Banditfarmer on March 29, 2015 at 17:09:25:
I really like buying things at auctions. Actually almost all of my machinery I have bought at auction except for 2 sickle mowers, a hay rake, a couple wagons and maybe some smaller miscellaneous stuff. I like to test drive a couple days before at least twice and give them a good look over a couple times too. Both of my 4020's I have bought at auction and could not be happier with them. I tried buying a tractor from a dealer and I just do not like having to haggle over price. I ended up not buying it because we could not reach a deal because I didn't want to pay what they wanted because it needed too much work. At an auction I do not have to waste time arguing over price and I set my price. The reason I test drive more than once is because you can see if any one has done anything to it in the hopes of getting it cheaper. I bought a 3020 for my sister one time and I checked it out a week before and then 2 days before the sale and started and drove both times. In that time some one screwed the adjustments on the carb shut and unplugged the coil. I got it running and drove it and the day of the sale it was done again. The owner was there and I was talking to him and he said it always started and ran well which I knew. I told him what had been done to it before. After I bought it it needed to be jump started because some people tried starting it and the starter needed rebuilt too. You are right about the kinds of people at auctions, I fall into the category of the guy who stands close to what I came for if there is only one thing I came for. Looks like I have to change my tactics.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
