Auction in Northern Illinois

Buck Brothers in Hampshire Illinois is having an auction of lots of good stuff. Scroll down in this link and download the PDF for the flyer. They have many tractors (CUT, and lawn and garden) as well as lots of other stuff. It's quite an auction.

I am in no way affiliated with this dealer, but I bought my tractor there. It's a good dealer. I have been to the auction twice before and it's a good time.

Cliff,

I was at this auction last year, GREAT DEALS!!!! I bought a newer LT180 tractor with low hours, figured I saved $1400 off the price of a new one. I do wish I had purchased a little larger one. I'm already making plans to attend again. Hopefully the weather will be a little nicer than it was last year. My wife and I didn't dress warm enough, and we almost gave up when the snow pellets started coming down. The majority of the tractors were demo units that were loaned/used by factory people if I remember correctly.

Well, did you get a chance to get to the auction Cliff? I was trying to sell my tractor first before I went to the auction, but no takers. My wife had ok'd me getting a 345 or maybe a x-series rider, but only if I could sell the LT180 I bought last year.

She insists on trying to mow our entire lawn with this thing, and I've warned her that it'll end up with a short life with all the bouncing around it does. We've got the 4300 with the MMM, but the ground is too wet this time of year to drive on with the extra weight.

There's another auction at Bobcat of Madison (Wisconsin) this Saturday, May 13th. I attended last year but was outbid several times at the last minute. I got restless and ended up leaving early. They had maybe 50-70 tractors total, quite a few ATV's.

Maybe I'll save the money this year....

No, actually. I had planned to go, but then things just didn't work out for this year. To be honest, I have no where to put the stuff I want to buy, so I'm best off not buying it right now.
