Pricing Out Premium Used Planters

By: Dave Mowitz

At a recent dealer invention reduction sale conducted by Sullivan Auctioneers in central Iowa, I saw the bottom of the late-model large machinery market. At that auction, a 2014 Kinze 3660 ASD 12/23 planter that had covered 5,822 acres (pictured at right) brought $72,000.

Next up was a 2013 Deere 1770NT CCS 16-row (30-inch) planter with 3,933 acres under its wheels that went for $64,500.
