| Notes from this auction |
|
Most of the MF 300 combines I've seen sold throughout the years tend to sell with heads, as this particular MF 300 did. The $1,100 sale price is the highest I've seen since March 2003 and the fifth highest auction sale price in the last 14 years. The record high price for a MF 300 combine? That would be $2,500 for the MF 300 with a 10-foot grain head, both in good condition, sold back on 8/30/97 at a sale in southwest New York. |

Some brands are just synonymous with the products they make. If I say Maytag, what would you think of? Dishwashers, of course. Firestone, you think of tires. If I say post drivers, what brand jumps to mind? Shaver. Yep, it's got to be Shaver. Click on the link below to view (44) Shaver post drivers I've seen sold at auction over the last 14 years, including the HD 10 sold for $1,500 on the May 1st auction in southeast Texas.
Time to move east, out to Maryland, a state we've been getting lots more auction sale price info from over the last year. These sale price highlights come from an April 10th farm auction in north-central Maryland.

We've completed our north, south, east and west journey looking at recent auction sale price highlights along the way. Hope you had fun. I know I did.
The thing I've loved most about covering auctions for the last 21 years? The variety. On every single auction, no matter where the sale is, there will be an item or two I'm curious to see what the heck it will sell for. What's that thing worth? Maybe it's an old Massey combine. Perhaps a post driver, utility tractor or mini excavator.
Tomorrow more auction sale prices will roll in from all directions. I can't wait.
