I purchased this 8000 hour John Deere 4720 at Ted Everett's auction. One of the best tractors I have owned everything works as it should. I have touched up the paint and the tractor now looks new.
Tim, Christy, I love these auction videos you do. Especially with your personal estimates. It makes it fun. Please do more of these. Thanks for sharing y'alls tractor adventures.
Cool to see the “auction estimates,” your estimates, actual sale prices, observations about the units, and the price trends. Reinforces the adage on any given day with any given bidder/s, prices may vary…and they do. Cool to watch. Blessings.
Tim, I just moved to the country life and I will need a tractor in the near future. I am learning so much about used tractor prices with your auction videos, please keep 'em coming!
Great follow up video! Do you see lots of implements sold separately to the tractors such as the couple at the end, or is it mostly attached to tractors? It'd be neat to see a range of implements at the next sale you go to - particularly some of the more specific, niche type implements - just to see the range of weird tasks people can put their tractors to!
Rarely attached to tractors at this auction. They almost always sell separately. There are not that many attachments in this auction. Maybe 15% of the items through this ring.
Hi, Tim, Christy, I love these auction videos you do. Especially with your personal estimates. It makes it fun. Please do more of these. Hi from Australia.
Really enjoy the auction videos! The first one with the 1025r’s seemed like a good deal. Helps me to know how much my equipment is worth. Definitely believe taking care of the equipment will keep the value higher just like automobiles!
Mind you I probably got a deal but I got a similar option 4320 for only $31,000 out the door with 470 hrs 20k is nuts for a tractor that could need major repairs at any moment.
I got a 3046r with deluxe cab with 5000 hours (no loader) for a bit under $20k in 2021. I then purchased a new frame mounted front blower, frame mounted front blade and a back blade. Just use it for snow but the setup works great for me and all in around 32k. Tie rods have some jiggle and I had to replace some hydraulic couplings and a zerk but otherwise in wonderful shape. I think these 3 and 4 series JDs can go way longer than people think.
It would be interesting to know what that tractor did. Generator or firewood processor? Sure didn’t look like a 8000 hr loader tractor. I’m on a small dairy farm, 5000 hrs the loader pins and control lever is usually worn out. The last couple have been kubota though.
I can only imagine how Randall and Tom would've looked at the 4720. Looks like a great tractor for having all of those hours. Makes me curious how much it was in the field doing ground engaging work.
Tim i encourage you to monitor marketplace for used tractors. Some of these auction prices are far higher than ive seen on marketplace. I believe what ive been seeing lately is people who have purchased new machines are now trying to unload them to get some sort of return. The compact and subcompact market is pretty hot right now. James river equipment is a deere dealer they have been offering huge sales on new machines over the oast few months, in fact they are selling new models cheaper than used that are listed on their website. Crazy market right now.
One of my little tractors is a 650. It’s small and yes parts are hard to get but it’s a strong little tractor. I have a 4100 and a kubo L3200 with a backhoe. Love all my tractors and each has a purpose
Prices seem to show the market has come back close to balance thank goodness (even if inflated since COVID which will never go away entirely). Wondering how long till y'all put that lightly used Kubota LX3310 open station into the auction? Or get Messicks to take it back?
The ones that impressed me was the little Kubota 7100 prices. Heck in my area there’s an old Kubota l185 with a rear bush hog for 6,000 bucks. I’d have bought one of the 7100 to throw an old finish mower on the back of it.
Thanks for making these auction videos. Some of us don't want to buy a new 1, 2 , or 3 series. And this gives us a good look at used value. I would go up in size for some of the deals to be had.
How bad did I do on a nice Kubota L2850 center mower only 1700 hours at 6k?? Around here even the b7100 and b6100 were fetching over 5k so I figured I’d spend another grand for a larger tractor. My local dealer had a L2550 more hours but also very nice for 9,000 with only a center mower. Another local had a b6100 with center mower for 6k. I had to go to Michigan to get my l2850
Wow these prices are great, I paid 6,000 for a 88 Kubota L2850 72” center mower only 1700hours n it but it’s been well taken care of and kept inside. Thought I did ok till I seen this.
Tim & Christy, I really love this format on your auction videos. It’s like Gameday or similar for a tractor nerd that doesn’t watch football on Sundays. Also, I’m pretty sure that I need to come up to one of those Ted Everett auctions when I’m in the place to get a tractor. The south doesn’t seem to have nearly the availability of decent used machines compared to the Midwest. That or I’m looking in the wrong places.
am I wrong if I say prices for most of them are a lot higher in Europe for those tractors ? if I would buy me a frontloader new for my tractor, it would cost me more than some nice looking tractors with frontloader that passed in the video ... The MF at 15:30 would cost me less, and its a good looking tractor. The NH at 23:19 would be the price for a new loader for me.
I don't see much on the used market in Colorado, so prices are high enough it would pay for the trip out there. Hard to find a decent subcompact with a loader here under $13,000.
I bought a 4720 at online auction 2 years ago for $16,000. 1300 hours, no loader, no cab. From the dozens of other 4720's I've looked at, I think on average the cab adds $5000 to the price and the loader is worth $5000. Interestingly mine has the factory loader control and the hydraulic outlets were replumbed to the back making two more remotes for a total of 3 remotes in the back. What sort of implement would take three sets of lines? Also can the 4720 run a round baler?
3 lines in the back can be needed on many things. A snowblower with a built in back drag blade, a powered top link with many two line implements like a grader.
I bought my BX2200 like the one in the video for $5500 back in June. I thought it was a good buy back then but maybe not. Same exact as mine but mine only had 750hrs on it. But maybe the good thing is used attachments might come down in price as well. So we'll see. Great video and thanks for all you do.
Tim &Christy, auctions are a great place to buy I agree, but when u buy new u get the benefits of 2 year bumper to bumper and 72 month drive train limited warranty. That's nice. I'm getting ready to get a Johnny inspired Johnny that's how I know this.
@@TractorTimewithTim I would hope not but with everything there's a chance of getting a tractor with multiple problems and any drive train issues parts and labor would add up quickly. Personally I have had 5 in my life without a issue. Guess it's more of a piece of mind. I put about 120hrs a year on my last one. Owned it for 19 years without a single issue. I Love the video's, watch most of them multiple times. Thanks to both of you.
Personally to me I see those little tiny kubota's that don't have a loader or a mid-mount mower I see those as perfect with a 3-point hitch finish mower or maybe a land plane or box blade just as a dedicated driveway grader
@@kdecksterthanks! As you can see, she replied before I had a chance! And even in the video she was saying ‘no’ ‘no’! …oh, and she left my bidder number at home!
The ones Christie went much lower on I tend to agree with her, I don’t see the higher value in them. Thank God I don’t have to depend on my auction skills for a paycheck. Dang, I forgot, I’m retired, I don’t need to work lol. The good news is I have time to watch ttwt. It does, however, appear there are some good deals at the auction. The bad news is I’m not not really good at auctions though.
@@TractorTimewithTim I am not sure if it was bought new, surprisingly we also have 2 older gear drive 5300's and the 4520 is better. The 4520 has just shy of 11000 hours and the 5300s have 16000 and 14000. We have more problems with the 5300s because of the gear drive with the gears and synchronizers and clutch then we do with the 4520. They all run belt conveyors and when we pull big 10 inch 100 foot belts everyone pulls them in c range so it gets worked but it's been good.
@@peterkoster5053fascinating. So, the hydro actually causes less issue! So the tractors run 24/7 on these belts? Sounds like you move them around some…
I was so upset I missed the last auction. We’ve been to every one for last two years trying to follow the market like your sharing here. So thank you so much for sharing. How was construction equipment moving and was there more or less than normal?
8000 hrs and still went for $20,000 guess that shows how tractors hold their value. If that 4720 went for $20k I guess that Kubota 5740 going for $23k was steal with 2000 hrs if I remember right? I paid $20,000 for my Kubota l3940 cab with 900 hrs when it was 8 yrs old (pre 2020 skyrocket) . Granted it was a private sale and I knew the owner and he takes care of his equipment better than anybody I ever seen but still guess I did alright. That tractor did look good shape for 8000 hrs, must of been used for one thing only I dunno. Even if you had to rebuild the engine I think you'd do alright, comparable brand new is probably $65000 so.
I'm looking at new tractors and they keep increasing prices year over year. I guess when I go to make a deal, we'll see how firm they are on pricing? I know that pickup truck prices are so high, inventory is building. Wondering how desperate the tractor dealers are getting?
@@TractorTimewithTim I am new to the tractor buying experience. I am trying to do some homework prior to making a mistake. I found you a few years ago and have been watching since. I'll be purchasing in 6 months. I' am not sure what you answer means? Some of your guesstimates were some spot on, some were way under, and some way over . That doesn't tell me after the fact of knowing what it sold for if that particular tractor model itself is a good unit at that price point. I'm guessing that you're saying your low estimates that sold for more $$ were not a good buy and the ones that were estimated higher and sold for less were great buys. I have narrowed it down to a tractor in the size range of 25/26hp or maybe a 30hp - do you have any brand/model recommendations? Thank you for any response
@@L46C3sorry. I shoulda explained better. Tim and Christy’s estimates are just that…our thoughts. The ‘auction estimates’ come from a subscription tool that we have TractorZoomPro.com It will be very hard for someone new to the tractor world to get a good deal at an auction like this. Too many variables. Too easy to get a machine which doesn’t fit your needs, etc. I would recommend narrowing in on a specific brand/model. Then, begin researching prices on that particular model. Become familiar with it, limiting your detailed research to that model. So, start somewhat broad…not worried about price details…narrow in on the model you need, then begin to look at pricing. I also usually advise first time buyers to consider new. The dealer can help provide a lot of guidance. Also, you won’t get bogged down with maintenance and repair to start. As you learn and become more familiar, maybe your second or third tractor should be ‘used’. Make sense?
We separated out 5 of the 1025r s in a separate video published a few days before this one. And yes, this particular auction had several Kubota’s. They vary.. I noticed that there were very few ‘off brands’ in this auction. As for price, the Kubota’s sold for less than the Deere’s, but maybe simply because they retail for less than the Deere. Hard to analyze.
If the auctioneer states “Sold!” How can he except more bids and sell a tractor that is owned by the winning bidder? Under those rules I guess you can win the bid and later decide not to buy….
He had two bidders who both were ‘in’. So, the continuation of bidding was limited to those two …to correct the error. Handling the error right then and there, between those two bidders is the cleanest way to resolve. Notice that the ring assistants flagged the issue immediately…even as he was saying ‘sold’. Not sure how it could have been resolved any more cleanly.
With where the country is right now, people don`t have the extra play money they had 4yrs ago. Maybe next time, people won`t vote with their feelings. I`m holding out for the crash in 2024, then i`ll buy a bank repo`d tractor for next to nothing. The crash is coming, watch and see folks!
Can you not talk so much during the auction part- perhaps too much talking, we understand you want to say what you think its going to bring, but we can all see what the posted price you think is going to be. Every one loves to hear a good auction.
Hold it…this machine has 8000 hours…looks and runs great. No other machine in this auction has much more than 25% as many hours…and you STILL try to complain about the brand? Now THAT is irrational bias!
With all due respect Tim, after hearing about the green team not allowing farmers to repair the machines they purchase, i wouldn’t invest in their products either.
@@bucket0rockslike many things these days, the information provided by the media on this topic is slanted. First, none of this right to repair stuff applies to compact tractors. Second, the issues aren’t nearly as draconian as the media asserts. Quite frankly, the ‘solutions’ brought on by the lawyers is likely to be much worse than the original problem. We needed some small changes in the big tractors, yes, but opening this engine and transmission software to anyone will likely create big issues.
It's just like a lot of vehicles now a days, you need brakes or exhaust or something done any garage can do that but if you need engine work or the vehicles computer has a problem most likely your going to take it to the dealership of the brand it is. Plus if you buy a new vehicle or tractor it comes with a warranty and will be fixed by the dealer anyway. So if your willing to bring your $40,000+ vehicle to the dealership why wouldn't you bring your $100,000+ farm tractor to the dealer?
I purchased this 8000 hour John Deere 4720 at Ted Everett's auction. One of the best tractors I have owned everything works as it should. I have touched up the paint and the tractor now looks new.
Cool! I seem to remember a gap where the left door didn’t fully close. Was this easy to fix?

Unless something changes, we will have a unique opportunity for you to purchase a compact tractor ‘on the cheap’ in April.
Wow, prices are so much lower out there than in my area of Wyoming! Can't believe how low these prices are!?

4720 is the best compact tractor ever made. Well worth it.
These prices are nice. Are these auctions only open to dealers?
No.

Totally unrelated to tractors but think I just saw you in an Aldi's commercial!

@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you for giving me you time. Makes sense.
Seems like any auction. Things go cheaper than you think and people get crazy on other things.
Good video, prices were all over the chart.... 😮🍔🍔🌭🌭
I like to know how the auctioneer was going to make it up to the one particular buyer?
Right!!
My son runs a very lucrative golf cart business however he is an avid golfer and knows the business and is connected very well in it
You seam to on average put a higher value on the cosmetic condition of a tractor than the average buy at this auction.
Yep. That appears to be correct. As you likely know, we are not experts. Just guessing :-)
I am interested in buying a gas gulf cart
golf cart races around the new pond ... paid admission, kids, .....what could go wrong ...
If i see an extremely high hour tractor at auction, it tells me the current owner was meticulous about maintenance.
THOSE MASSEY'S IN OUR AREA DON'T BRING MUCH- NO DEALERS FOR 100 MILES! KUBOTA IS BAD ENOUGH-LOCAL DEALER MOVED OUT
I would say that it looks like those bidding have lost their minds and are paying too much.
Interesting. We thought most stuff was going quite reasonably.
If JD is so junk why are 90% of the stuff being sold at this auction Kubota? And not bringing a third of the money?
We separated out 5 of the 1025r s in a separate video published a few days before this one.
And yes, this particular auction had several Kubota’s. They vary.. I noticed that there were very few ‘off brands’ in this auction.
As for price, the Kubota’s sold for less than the Deere’s, but maybe simply because they retail for less than the Deere.
Hard to analyze.
You either run out of money and go cheap or get desperate at the end and pay to much. I hate auction full of idiots
😂😂😂
One of the many reasons I will not buy at an auction it is easy to pay way too much.
8000 hours?
Yeah, but they are highway hours.
If the auctioneer states “Sold!” How can he except more bids and sell a tractor that is owned by the winning bidder? Under those rules I guess you can win the bid and later decide not to buy….
He had two bidders who both were ‘in’. So, the continuation of bidding was limited to those two …to correct the error.
Handling the error right then and there, between those two bidders is the cleanest way to resolve.
Notice that the ring assistants flagged the issue immediately…even as he was saying ‘sold’.
Not sure how it could have been resolved any more cleanly.
Get that guy some bigger bibs.😕
That's not the original engine. Just because the tach has 8k hours, doesn't mean the engine has them.
Coulda been overhauled…but likely not. No reason these engines won’t last that long.
Talking with your hands at an auction made me nervous for you.
Ha! Thought about that once or twice, but I guess they ignored me :-)
What a circus!

a lot off money for old scrap
JD 650: I would have been all over that one. JD made by Yanmar. Stupid simple to fix.
With where the country is right now, people don`t have the extra play money they had 4yrs ago. Maybe next time, people won`t vote with their feelings.
I`m holding out for the crash in 2024, then i`ll buy a bank repo`d tractor for next to nothing. The crash is coming, watch and see folks!
Exactly
Can you not talk so much during the auction part- perhaps too much talking, we understand you want to say what you think its going to bring, but we can all see what the posted price you think is going to be. Every one loves to hear a good auction.
Everyone has an opinion.
I think I'm just a cheapskate
auctioneers are so annoying, you cant understand a thing they say.
too much for this junk
8000 hours isn't that bad the worst thing is the green paint
Hold it…this machine has 8000 hours…looks and runs great. No other machine in this auction has much more than 25% as many hours…and you STILL try to complain about the brand? Now THAT is irrational bias!
With all due respect Tim, after hearing about the green team not allowing farmers to repair the machines they purchase, i wouldn’t invest in their products either.
That's why there are so, so many green machi😢for sale at so much more money. 🤔🤣
@@bucket0rockslike many things these days, the information provided by the media on this topic is slanted.
First, none of this right to repair stuff applies to compact tractors.
Second, the issues aren’t nearly as draconian as the media asserts. Quite frankly, the ‘solutions’ brought on by the lawyers is likely to be much worse than the original problem.
We needed some small changes in the big tractors, yes, but opening this engine and transmission software to anyone will likely create big issues.
It's just like a lot of vehicles now a days, you need brakes or exhaust or something done any garage can do that but if you need engine work or the vehicles computer has a problem most likely your going to take it to the dealership of the brand it is. Plus if you buy a new vehicle or tractor it comes with a warranty and will be fixed by the dealer anyway. So if your willing to bring your $40,000+ vehicle to the dealership why wouldn't you bring your $100,000+ farm tractor to the dealer?
