Well, a week or so ago I talked of an auction that I was to attend where I planned to bid on a nice 7120 MAGNUM 2WD. As some of you may recall, I preset my bidding limit at $29,000.00, so I wouldn't be tempted to go crazy on the bidding.
WHAT A JOKE. I didn't stand a chance. The dam thing sold for $37,750.00!
I thought this was ridiculous.
I guess the owner is happy with that.
For any one looking for nice clean used tractors, at a sane price... I just don't know.... I think I'm going to give up for now. I'll just keep using what I already have- a perfectly fine 1456 and perfectly fine 1086.
UNBELIEVABLE!

I've heard those Magnums hold their value but wow. Good thing you've got 2 other running tractors and weren't needing that 7120 right away.

Don't give up you will find one for your price, that magnum had low hours on it so i think that was a big factor in brigning what it did.

Not trying to start a fight but I feel one of the reasons that the Magnum tractors are holding their value so well is because so many are disappointed in the MXs. I know if we were to buy another CIH it would be a Magnum, one MX was enough!

I'd agree with you Boog, but prices on the MX's are holding up pretty good too. Compare them to the 8000 series Deeres hour for hour and year for year.Not trying to start a fight but I feel one of the reasons that the Magnum tractors are holding their value so well is because so many are disappointed in the MXs.

yep, in this area the Deeres bring quite a bit more money size per size

I'll not argue, well, not right now, because there aren't hardly any used MX's around here to buy. They didn't stay on the dealers lots long this fall. However, you can't deny that the older Magnums are more than holding their own against any make.

O.K. Now I'll argue
Did a quick fastline search on 01 MX240's and 8310's.
MX240's regardless of hours 80,000 to 89,500, there was a full page of examples.
01 JD 8310, regardless of hours 83,500-89,000 3 examples
I'd say the resale on the MX's has held up pretty well.
