I can see that tractor bringing that easily if proven maintained well. The 3306 engine was very reliable from my limited experience.

My Allis has under 4800hrs and is a 1975 build spending a lot of time as a scraper pusher.

A new 4wheel drive pickup is $80,000 so that explains a lot of whats happened to equipment prices, We aren't that far from a case of toilet paper costing a wheel barrow full of money.

Agree. If that tractor is in decent shape I could easily see it being worth $60K. A new 10K lb CTL will is pushing $80K depending on options.

Used iron prices are crazy. I could get more for our '21 D3 now than what we paid for it with 500 hours on the clock.

No doubt. I was skimming through the new truck ads online and a 22 350 XL CC 4x4 6.7 plain jane work truck is $70K plus. The only amenities being A/C, power windows and door locks.

A '23 350 6.7 Platinum is $100K + depending on the options... :oops: :rolleyes:
