Used Tractor Values 130-200 HP
Results: Blistering Buyer Demand
Off the charts buyer demand continues for good condition used Tractors in this 130-200 HP segment. Fevered auction bidding late in 2012
Outlook for 1st Qtr. 2013Pete’s Take: “Absolutely no slow down in sight early in 2013. Very low number of machinery auctions (Jan. ‘13 one of slowest months I’ve ever seen) works to keep buyer demand focused.”

Used Values Holding – But Over Supply Issue Still There
• Factors that helped used Combine values 4th Qtr. 2012:– Very strong year end tax buyer push– Commodity prices shot higher mid August…more buyer optimism followed– Drought/Insurance: much brighter buyer outlook end of year vs. mid year
• Lingering issue of Over Supply of Late Model Used Combines on Dealer Lots– Mfg. gets proactive, offer dealers $$ incentive for each used Combine sold at auction late ’12
• Uptick in No. of large Dealer/Consignment auctions late ‘12 - high No. of late model used units
1st Qtr. 2013 Outlook:• “Hold Steady”……for now. Used values likely to dip 2nd & 3rd Qtr. ’13, just like 2010 & 2012
• SAME AS I SAID LAST QTR: Finding homes for the “off roll” program late-model used units will continue to be a challenge on into 2013. Tough task to goose the absorption rate

Combines: Used Values in 4th Qtr.
67.6% More JD 9870 STS Combines Sold at Auction in 2012 vs. 2011
JD 9870 STS Combine Values• Ave. Auction Price 2012: $173,007• Ave. Auction Price 2011: $188,071----------------• Ave. Dealer Ad Price ‘12: $256,768• Ave. Dealer Ad Price ‘11: $257,350
Ratio Ave. Auction Price/Ave. Dealer Advertised Price:
2012: 67.4%2011: 73.1%
This falling ratio % speaks to the continuing over supply issue of late model used Combines on dealer lots. Many very large dealer/consignment auctions June – December 2012….more will follow in 2013
2011 JD 9770 STS Combine with 0 Hours, sold $269K
11/16/12 farm auction east-central Minnesota
Strong Sale Price
$269,000 auction sale price was quite a bit off retail value, but higher than I was expecting going into the sale. Evidence of “firming used values” 4th Qtr. 2012
2000 CaseIH 2366 with 1,120 engine hours, sold $135,000
12/12/12 farm auction north-central Illinois
2nd Highest Auction Price Ever
Example of still strong buyer demand for slightly older/smaller used Combines in very good condition. Bidders from as far away as Kansas drove to this Illinois auction for this combine

OUTLOOK FOR 1st Qtr. 2013Pete’s take: “Used Grain Handling Equipment values shot up 4th Qtr. 2007 and have remained high, between 8.5 – 9.0 Index Rating since. I’m looking for used values to remain in this range early in ‘13.”

Spotty Buyer Demand
OUTLOOK FOR 1st Qtr. 2013Pete’s Take: “I’m looking for some continuing “softness” with used Round Baler values, but for most other areas of this equipment sector I’d say we’ll see continued slightly/slowly rising used values.”
JD 336 square baler, sold for $4,900
11/24/12 farm auction southeast Minnesota
New record auction price
Also on this 11/24/12 farm auction in southeast MN, a New Holland 28 Forage Blower sold for $1,200…highest sale price I’ve seen in 13 years

OUTLOOK FOR 1st Qtr. 2013Pete’s Take: “A mini glut of late model used Tillage (Disc Chisels) sold on late 2012 big dealer/consignment auctions dragged own values a bit in this category. I look for values to hold or bounce slightly higher early ‘13.”

1977 Fiat-Allis 11B Dozer, overhauled, sold: $25,000
12/1/12 farm auction north-central Missouri
Record Auction Price
$25,000 was WAY above what the auctioneer expected on this good used Dozer. Just shows the increased buyer demand for farmer use heavy Construction Equipment

OUTLOOK FOR 1st Qtr. 2013Pete’s Take: “The big increase in No. of very large dealer/consignment auctions in December 2012 did bring more late model larger used Planters into play, dropping values slightly, but no nosedive. My guess is values will stabilize early in 2013.”

Quarterly Index ratings are assigned on a scale of 1 to 10 to show relative strength of current and historical used equipment values. 6.0 = “stable/normal” used values. There are two levels...
• Comprehensive Index rating for overall used farm equipment values
• Index ratings broken down by equipment sectors
