I Sold 13 Tractors and Machines on an Online Auction - How Much did they Make?

We buy and sell used tractors to see if we can make any money on them. We buy them, use them, fix them and then sell them. Can we make any money selling tractors and farm machinery. We are open and honest about them and how much we paid and how much the repairs cost and how much we sell them for. #auction #auctioneer #usedmachinery #farmequipment #farmequipmentauction #farmmachinery #tractors #tractor #farmauction #farming #agriculture #oldmachinery

Not many farmers willing to talk about real money ,thanks for your honesty very interesting 👍

[@finditfixitfarmit]

No worries. Always done business like this and find it’s the best way 👍🏼

[@andrewcarter2475]

The little rant about big tractor was funny.

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Haha, I might add a few more in going forward lol

[@andrewcarter2475]

@@finditfixitfarmit yeah defenetly more. I had to watch it a few times it cracked me up.

Is max still speaking to you after letting him know you sold his tractor 🚜 ? That's the name of the game, buying and selling.

[@finditfixitfarmit]

@@2626stephen yeah, he was happy it made a profit haha

[@matthopper7411]

I'm absolutely astonished by the kioti I can't believe how cheap you got it for and how little it made I'm absolutely gob smacked. I would've expected it to be around 20k that tractor. If it had a loader jeez it would be fantastic

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Even in a dealers yard I recon it would only fetch a couple grand more.

[@matthopper7411]

I really want to know what auction sites you use because I still can't get over how cheap the kioti and the Kubota were when you bought them.

[@finditfixitfarmit]

All of them, very rarely do I miss any.

[@seggonscontractors588]

I LOVE!! the auction videos, it's something I'm trying to aspire to do again when I'm back in the right place to do it financially, I did buy a tipping trailer in the stags sale and the buzz was great! Maybe I could do a james hayse style "Look at my poor life choice!!" Video for my channel 😊😂😂😂

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Hahaha, thanks mate. Got to keep them interesting. I really did think I had made a poor life choice on that kubota 😂

[@james1c763]

James thanks for the update

[@glyndavies591]

You did very well in the auction the Explorer is a cracking tractor and will only go up in value been very well looked after

[@user-hc1vy3ds4f]

Hi James , well done on your auction results and I’m sorry we didn’t buy the Same but in the end it seems you were better off selling it at auction 👍

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Thanks Dan, no worries at all. I’m sure there will be plenty more machines 👍🏼

[@russellpetrie119]

cant hang on to them forever got to keep moving them with new models coming out on a daily basis

Yep, keep it moving 👍🏼

[@stephenkelly2067]

Same 80 sold cheap in fairness

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Do you think? I’m very happy with the outcome. I didn’t think it would go over 10k

[@DJC995]

Hi James Nice one Thanks again

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Thanks Darran 👍🏼

[@matthopper7411]

What the hell the Kubota was cheap to!! Where do you find these bargains

"A good buisness man must be honest about the value of his stock in trade"Thats what my father used to say.Win some lose some and dont take it personaly if you make a mistake.If its only costing you money its not costing you much.

100% it’s the easiest way 👍🏼

Hi James, it's a bit hit and miss at an auction, good profit on the Same 80. the Agri buggy it to go I thought it was a keeper and you were going to install a bigger diesel engine, but if you not using it let it go. Catch you soon Take care

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Thanks Shaun. We may keep it yet, but our channel seems to be responding better to buying and selling videos.

[@sethredwood6068]

I think the reason is the Abby isn’t selling is bc it’s been restored a stupid reason but you know what people think

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yeah I know what you mean about stuff that’s been painted. I was hoping a small holder would have bought it 😂

[@sethredwood6068]

@@finditfixitfarmit I was tempted when I bought my topper but it was just to much for me
