Sell Your Tractor

I buy dead tractors, rough tractors, and tractors that need major repairs. Running condition is not a big concern to me. I care more about the right model, how complete it is, usable body metal, and price.

Cash paid. Fast pickup. No tire kicking. If we agree on a price and a time, someone will show up prepared to load the tractor, pay for it, and get out of your hair.

What I Look For

I am not very concerned with whether a tractor runs, drives, or even if the engine is froze up. For me, it is mostly about the right model, how complete the tractor is, whether the body metal is usable, and whether the price makes sense. I assume most tractors I buy are going to need a lot of repairs anyway.

When I sell a tractor, everything has to work right. There is a lot more to a tractor than just running and driving, so mechanical problems do not scare me off the way they do some buyers.

Preferred Tractors

I look at many different makes, but I am especially interested in Ford, Ferguson, John Deere, Kubota, and Case tractors.

If the model is something I like, I may still be interested even if it is very dead, has major issues, or has been sitting for years.

General Price Guidelines

These are rough guidelines for tractors in Lakeland, Auburndale, or Polk City. Final price depends on model, completeness, condition, and location.

Ford N, 600, 800, Jubilee, Ferguson

$200 - $500

These smaller older tractors need to be cheap for me to buy them.

Ford Diesel 2000, 3000, 4000, Deere, Medium Kubota

$300 - $1000

Price depends a lot on model, completeness, and whether the sheet metal is usable.

Ford Diesel 3000 and Up with Loader or Backhoe

$1000 and up

Loader tractors and backhoes can bring more if the model is right and the tractor is complete enough.

Pickup Area and Loading

Those price guidelines are mainly for tractors in Lakeland, Auburndale, and Polk City. I do pick up tractors further away too, but on the smaller cheaper tractors like Ford N models, distance matters more.

Very dead tractors are not a problem. Our trailer has an electric winch, so we can handle tractors that do not run, and need to be dragged onto the trailer.

We can usually get there in a day or two.

How It Works

I do not come out just to look at tractors. If we can agree on a price and a time, someone will show up ready to load it, pay cash, and leave. No tire kicking.

The easiest way to get started is to email photos, the model if you know it, your location, and anything important about the tractor to .
