Sorry, no auction pricing listings.

{P.S. How did you make out with the JD Baler/5205 lease?, I understand that "low ball" price was only a 2WD not MFWD!}

Hi John,
Thanks alot for that price!!! I never did get a deal done with them on that lease. They best deal they would give me was $32,500 which wasn't even close. Oh well I'll just keep the massey and my old baler. With the way farm prices are falling equipment around here is selling super cheap. I hate to see that. I hope that it picks up somewhat but I'm not sure if it will. Most guys around here are just farming for the govt. checks right now.

20 PTO HP

Is that correct? The poster this guy had mounted on the tractor says it has 29PTO HP. Which is correct?

I noticed a ragged old riding lawnmower, not even a garden tractor, at a dealer's place awhile back and it had beautiful, shiny, official looking decals on both sides that said "Detroit Series 60 Diesel."/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Well, I wouldn't say that I'm "happy", but I do have another negotiating point now, don't I?

I'm not sure about that price. You may try renting one first to see at rentmaker.com. I'm not sure if you can get Deeres but it's worth a shot.

My little old used tractor price guide ("2001 Intertec") says:

1997 JD 770 has 24 PTO HP...

Plus pricing of:

Fair - 10050
Good - 11100
Premium - 11660

This is a pretty new book (to me) and I'm not sure how accurate it is?!?!

Good Luck!

Bill
