According to a recent USAgNet news release, Machinery Pete has announced the release of its “2014 Classic Tractor Price Guide,” a publication designed to provide farm machinery fans with up-to-date auction results and data of equipment dating back to the early 1900s.
The 400-page book spans four years of data up to mid-2014 and has been deemed the only book of its kind available with real auction prices for classic tractors. The Classic Tractor Price Guide includes 52 tractor brands, as well as some bonus sections which include pickups, combines, corn pickers, hay balers, planters and drills.
Greg Peterson, Founder and Principal, says about the guide in the news release, "This book is cover-to-cover Machinery Pete. I've been on the auction trail for 25 years collecting the stories of folks who love farm machinery. In this book, I've also sprinkled in more than two dozen of my 'Pete's Picks' highlighting the most eye-grabbing machines and prices from my travels and network of nearly 1,000 auctioneers."
To give an example of the detail and depth of coverage included in this guide, there are 15 pages that only cover John Deere 4020 models, including auction prices, dates, locations and other detailed specifications. The guide also includes the complete story of the most expensive item Machinery Pete has ever seen at an auction.
The 2014 Machinery Pete Classic Tractor Price Guide is available for purchase on www.ShopFarmJournal.com, providing antique tractor fans with an in-depth resource covering recent auction prices of classic farm machinery.
