Ask me and I’d tell you it just may be the John Deere 6030, made by Deere from 1972-1977. Confirmation came last month at a tractor collector auction in Wesley, IA. This sale by Ryerson Auction & Realty featured (2) JD 6030′s. A restored 1975 model 6030 sold for a record high auction price of $40,000. I caught up with my auctioneer friend Gene Ryerson the week after for a video interview (click on video above).
The Wesley, IA auction November 13, 2010 featured a few other very nice Deere tractors:
* 1971 JD 4020 with only 2,987 hours
* 1968 JD 4020 with 5,200 hours & JD 58 loader
* 1972 JD 4320 with 2,700 hours
Also on the auction was a cool restored 1968 Chevy pickup and a 1926 Ford Model T “Rat Rod” car. Check out the video to see what all this stuff sold for.
