Yes, emotional day for Russ. Fun to see him sharing the day with family and the grandkids. Really cool thing he's doing for their future

[@54JohnDeere70gas]

It's great people like this that make me proud to be part of these auctions!

[@Tylerscummins]

He looked like he wanted to cry. And i dont blame him. That was one of the best collections ive ever seen. I kniw if i had all those tractors it'd be hard to let em go.

[@ih1206]

very true my friend. I've been to a lot of sales but none this kind of a collection. Then again I don't know much about 2 cylinder JDs.

[@ih1206]

wow i never realized those old 2 cylinders were worth so much. Dont see many of them come up for sale in my area.

[@transammike]

You can tell it's hard for the guy to let go of his prize collection, at least it's for a noble cause.

What planet are we living on when a 330 goes for more than an 830 !!!! Never mind, it's for his grandkids. the pain in his eyes tells the story.

[@jd40boy]

nice collection, the 330 sold cheap enough, i saw a decent oiginal that showed its age and use sell for that here in ky

[@MrRabit1993]

I would like to know what the 40 sold for. I have one that I am restoring.

[@rdmanone]

Not to down grade any tractors but at auction it does not mean the tractor is worth that much just who has the money and what they are willing to bid and pay for it.

[@machinerypete]

JD 40 sold for $1,200 on this auction

[@jimfarmall2898]

There is a certain amount of pain in his voice, and he really hasn't owned them very long.

[@jpb1231000]

Internet bidding? That ain't right !

[@onwardstanley1998]
