  • What was Tractor Time with Tim thinking when he bid on a John Deere 3520 without looking at if first? TTWT succumbs to Auction Fever at the October Ted Everett Auction without the knowledge of the finance committee.

    A comfortable, dust-free cab, heat and A/C - what's not to like? You were buying it for Christy! Yeah, yeah, that's what you were doing!

  • @bwlyon
    @bwlyon Před rokem +33

    Okay Tim, I’m going to get you out of this jam. When you get home, tell the finance committee chairwoman that you have purchased her a snow pusher with a cab and heat so she won’t get cold pushing snow this winter. Yep, problem solved! Let us know how this works out. 😂

      @@phild9813 yes sir! I think the cab is what got him. The cab was the bait, and when Tim bit the bait the tractor set the hook and he just couldn’t stop flapping his 🖐 in the air!

      It’s got a cab, it appears well enough kept. I have been there as well. I won some and I lost some. I really hope you are a winner on the deal. There were some very decent prices through there. Some pretty rough tractors as well haha.
      All the best!!

    Great mowing tractor. In 2020, picked up a 3720 cab with 400hrs , 60”mmm, 61” front blower, no loader for 29k. Put 500 hrs on it, love the AC and no dust for mowing. I think you got a good deal.

    I think the variety of tractors (first gen R.K., Bobcat, Deutz, etc.) is one thing which draws me to these. Now we've got a new series to check out, the auction tractor and hope not to have gotten a lemon. Like others have mentioned, Christy may enjoy the cab factor during the winter more than we think.

    Bought several tractors from Ted and he always treats you right. Fully inspect it and if there’s any serious problems he will make it right. I’m really thinking it will make you a nice addition to your fleet.
    Not sure how to break it to Christy though. Probably a nice gift with be in order. Flowers?

  • @82ndpara21

    Congratulations on getting the John Deere 3520! I got myself a used John Deere cat one quick hitch for $150 at the Williams Grove Historical Steam Engine Association Labor day tractor show auction! Also I had to fix a few things on it and touch it up with some paint but other than that I think that I did pretty well.

  • @On_The_Farm

  • @jdfleetguy28
    @jdfleetguy28 Před rokem

    Great video. Excited to see how your auction tractor purchase plays out. Just from what I could see on the left side there is just a cosmetic issues, nothing too difficult to fix.
    New entry step and left fender is about all I am seeing so far that I would want to fix.
    I think you bought it really right so spending a few bucks to fix her up a bit should easily be a somewhat fun and worthwhile investment.
    I am thinking for a loader you may only need to swap the loader mounts over from your 3046R and that loader might fit right onto that 3520.
    Seems like your in similar situation to myself, and we don't really need a loader to be on every tractor all of the time.
    If that idea works that I mentioned where you might be able to share your 3046R's loader with the 3520.
    That might work out pretty well for you. Need cab a 3R you got it need an open station 3R, most attachments should work no both.
    Anyway, looks like a really fun exciting project tractor for the channel. Likely a profitable project. A little TLC on the old girl, and I bet it would bring a lot more then you paid for it.
    Really looking forward to watching and learning all about it. Good luck with the new project.

    @Vikingknight2012 Před rokem +2

    When you build a dog house always include as many creature comforts as possible. You may need them one day. Many of the tractor model numbers were covered by the loader arms so it was hard to compare prices to actual models on several of the tractors. These videos help us follow the market. Thanks.

That was funny enough to make me smile outloud! 😂 Your bible verse at the end seemed to be at least somewhat inspired by your new equipment purchase, Am I wrong? If my wife had watched this with me she would be telling me, “That’s something you would do!” Anyway, that made me day, Sir! Thanks for the smiles ☺️

    Good machine for snowblowing/plowing. All your JD connections, you shouldn't have any issues getting anything fixed you need done. You have people in places most of us don't have to help you with issues. I think you will be fine, expecially having the cab on it. Probably 1/2 of what you paid for it just there.

    The new to you auction win should be pretty nice next summer using the batwing mower, or any other 3 point attachment in the summer heat. you don't need a loader all the time and it gets in the way sometimes. I think you did fine on the purchase. I bet you're looking for a loader already. ;)

    I don't think this was a good buy for Tim, but I think it would be a great tractor for Cristy. The price seemed fair as long as it works. My auction rule is to set a price in advance and be firm about it. Always know what you will feel good about spending. That kind of precludes this sort of impulse purchase, though.

It just boggles my mind honestly.

    @briancarpenter8297 Před rokem +1

    I don't think hours matter that much if the machine has been well maintained. I bought a 3046R cab tractor last year with 1100 hours and it cost me $30k. Granted mine has a loader, but you have a loader on every other tractor. This could be great for mowing or tilling in dusty conditions where the visibility of not having the loader would be beneficial.

  • @mikeboeckerman2481
    @mikeboeckerman2481 Před rokem +1

    It's the green and yellow paint that gets the best of us. Might find it handy without the loader in those tight situations. You can always get your money out of it towards a new one if the wife lets you out the dog house.

    I never did catch how many hours it had. Doesn't look too bad but I am particular and the broken rear fender may bother me and need to be repaired. I am sure you bought it with a purpose in mind and you have been around small tractors enough to have a good idea of what they are worth. I am sure you will do fine.

    Does the AC work...that'd be my very first question too! Hopefully this one's not stolen!

    This makes me think I need to find an auction like this. My local dealer is offering new 1025R for $23 000 which seems high to me? 0% for 84 months. What to do?

      The E's are better than the R's according to the auctioneer. 😆

    cabs are usually pretty expensive

    It's a great deal if you needed a tractor. Might need to let something go to compensate. Whole new series... 'I bought a tractor, what now?'. I think I too would have jumped on that. Guess this is the last auction for TTWT without adult supervision. I see the guy eyeing you on that 25R to see if you are going to bid on that one too.. The finance committee will have your hands zip-tied to the camera at the next auctions.. Tell Christy you bought her a tractor. She just needs to borrow some attachments..

    Just about every tractor came in towing something. Was that a lot, or is the towed bid on after the tractor?
    $14k for that machine is a good price so long as you don't need to do more than a tune-up and fluid change. Around here, $14k is typically cabless or needs something major. Add some weight and it would make a really good mow/snowblow rig.
