How Much Money Is My Tractor Really Worth?
We want to help you determine the real value of your tractor.
If you do not understand these tips, strategies, or processes, please consult your local dealer or mechanic. And as always, be sure to consult your owner’s manual for model-specific information.
Also, we are here to help you purchase a new tractor when the time is right.
Let’s get to it.
Uniqueness
Before we dive into the details, we need to convey that no two tractors are the same in the “pre-owned” or “used” market.
Even the same year, make, and model tractors can vary significantly. This becomes even more prevalent as the tractor ages.
Tractors have unique variances like features, upgrades, add-ons, hours used, damage, engine condition, repairs/maintenance needed, implements, powertrains, PTOs, cab, as well as the amount of usage and the condition of a slew of other parts. You will need to have a list of all these items when calculating your valuations.
And for those of you with antique or rare tractors --- you need to keep in mind that some older tractors are more in demand than others with collectors and other types of buyers. Of course, the condition can also play a key role here. Some buyers want the tractor in pristine condition, while others are willing to take on the repairs.
Determining the Value
There are many ways to determine your tractor’s worth.
For now, keep in mind that regardless of what a tractor is worth --- what it sells for may be vastly different. So in a way, we can say --- the tractor is ultimately worth what the buyer pays you. That’s called reality.
