Ads for Reference

The purpose of this page is to collect ads over time and provide a frame of reference on tractor values. Any given tractor's value differs depending on the geographic location, the seller, the buyer, time of year, condition, etc. I receive frequent e-mails asking what a tractor is worth. I can only provide some frames of reference based on what I've seen advertised, and on whatever other information I have received.

Most of the ads I see have either been posted at Rummy's John Deere bulletin board or were listed in the classifieds in Green Magazine or Two-Cylinder Magazine. I will include other advertisements as I see them. If the ad includes a picture I will post it here.

Of course, most of these ads will be about 40's, though there will be some others in here as well. Because these are for reference and not intended to be an actual advertisement, names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers will not be included. Geographic area will be included if known.
