You're going to the wrong farm auctions. LOL, poor grain prices kept the farmers buying used and paying more for it, but this year, with near record grain prices, everybody is going to upgrade to no-till or new equipment. Used stuff is going to be much more reasonable.I've never had luck with guns at auction as someone always wants it more than me. Kinda like farm equipment.
Wife's uncle just sold everything one needs to farm including a combine for $10K. He turned 85 this year, leased out the quarter and said the hell with it.
