Daft thing is they were only popular for a short time til the main stream tractor makes offered 4wd on new machines, then you couldn't give them away as a working tractor.

your having your leg lifted on this,
it's worth 12/ 15k, 17k on a good day if the auctioneer is facing east and praying to Mecca,
having said that, an 1884 County could well be worth the 200k as they are very collectable

Did he also tell you that if you buy all of the ice creams, you're guaranteed entry to heaven?

Steam traction engines are where the real money is.
Paul Cable's went for £42k just over a month ago. Read that it was around £25k less than expected!

FOWLER B6 Road Locomotive “THE LION”
Offers £400,000+
No. 14115, built 1914
Even a 35X Multipower hasn't quite reached those sorts of sums yet.

In all fairness, they are THE steam guys. One shouldn't be surprised if they're at the top of the bracket.You're not wrong there.

Thats cheap compared to what the showmans engines will make. Really annoys me when they put POA on an advert. Just makes me Pi??ed Off Again.

The money went out of these a fair number of years ago, a pair of ploughing engines if you want to sell them are worth about the same as 25 years ago but little else will make any real money

However, some serious money is needed in restoring them, keeping them going and exhibiting them..

My great grandfather bought this one in 1915:
And here it is today:
My grandfather went and drove it a few years ago before he died, I need to track it down and see if they'll let me do the same.

If your selling + I'm buying 15k
If I'm selling 60-80k
They're worth what people are willing to pay in reality.
Prices are guides really
