How to Sell a Used Tractor

How to Sell a Used Tractor

How to make your tractor auction the best it can be

Looking to sell farm equipment that you no longer need? You may want to upgrade your equipment, or are retiring and are looking to liquidate your collection of machinery. Regardless of the reason you want to sell, you will want to make sure that your sale brings in the most money possible. You deserve to receive the full value of your assets and that is the goal that we strive for here at Rangerbid.com! One of the most important pieces of equipment that you will most likely be selling is your tractor. Tractors are some of the most valuable pieces of farm equipment, and are sure to fetch a great price, but you want to make sure that you do everything you can to make your auction the best that it can be.

The best way to sell a tractor:

Clean it up

First things first you want to do everything you can to make your tractor look as nice as possible. Most likely your equipment is a little dirty. After all, you use it out in the fields and around your property, hauling hay and other equipment day in and day out. There is bound to be some dirt. You will want to deep clean your tractor in order to show the true beauty and value that is hidden underneath. Buyers will be much more interested and will place a higher value on a tractor that is clean compared to one covered in dirt. The appearance of a tractor indicates a lot of the value and will also show how well you have taken care of your equipment. You wouldn’t want to buy a dirty tractor, so your buyers won’t want to either.

how to sell a used tractor

Provide Maintenance Records

Hopefully you have been keeping track of your maintenance schedule, recording when you have had someone out to look at your tractor or have taken it to the shop. These records show potential buyers that the tractor is well cared for, and they can trust the working condition as well as the future life span of the equipment. If you haven’t been doing this, keep track of it moving forward so that you have something to show potential buyers the next time you are trying to sell your tractor. Additionally, you can describe the past use of your tractor so that buyers know what wear and tear they should expect. You can also note how it was stored and weatherized – bidders will be a lot happier knowing that your tractor has been sitting in a nice covered barn as opposed to out in the elements.

Keep Any Manuals

Like the maintenance records, this might be a better tip for the next time you sell a tractor. If you have held onto any guides, manuals or maintenance suggestions that came from the manufacturer, include them in the sale. You can feature them in the photos for the lot as well as list any pertinent details in the descriptions. If your tractor is antique, this will only add to the credibility, and if not, it’s still valuable information that a buyer would want.

Make Repairs

You’ve probably heard of homeowners painting or repairing minor things around their house before heading into the market. Updating small things around a home and boasting new fixtures can help increase the selling price by much more than the owner would have paid for the upgrades. You can do the same thing with your equipment! Know of any small repairs that you can quickly do yourself? While you might not want to, fixing a few things here and there not only shows buyers that you care about your machine, but it also lets buyers know that they won’t have to make these changes themselves. Presenting the best version of your tractor is your goal throughout the whole process.

Sell Other Parts

Do you have additional equipment that attached to your tractor you will no longer need? Consider selling it with your tractor as a bundle! From plows and seeders to balers and wagons, you probably have a wide variety of attachments that biddera would be interested in. These extras will up your selling price and will provide additional value for your potential buyers.

We hope that these tips will help you increase the sale of your tractor. We want to help you get the best value for your tractor. If you are interested in selling your tractor through one of our auctions, or if you have any other questions about selling your farm machinery, contact us here!

What is the Difference Between Pre-Bidding and Real-Time Bidding?

pre-bidding

What is the Difference Between Pre-Bidding and Real-Time Bidding?

Understanding the auction bidding process

Whether you are new or have been in the auction industry for a time, you will likely have noticed that there is a whole vocabulary associated with auctions and the auction process. We want to take you through two of the terms that you will want to understand before participating in an auction: pre-bidding and live bidding.

Pre-bidding is the first step of any online auction. During the pre-bidding period for any auction, prior to the real-time bidding starting on auction day, individuals are able to place bids on lots. These pre-bids are not yet visible to the public, so no one knows how many people are intending on bidding on an item, or how much they are willing to pay for that item. The results of any pre-bidding will become viewable once the auction opens, with the current bid level. And once the auction goes live, the real-time bidding starts. This is a pretty easy process to figure out. You simply continue to bid by the set bid increment (the minimum amount by which every bid must increase by) until you end up as the highest bidder or the bidding goes over the maximum that you have set for yourself.

There are different advantages to taking part in both types of bidding. Choosing to place a pre-bid allows you to head into an auction with a sense of understanding or even of added confidence if you had the highest pre-bid. You can go into the auction on your own terms, placing a higher pre-bid on an item that might deter others from bidding when the real-time bidding starts. This process allows you to dictate the beginning of the auction, at least until the highest pre-bid is made available. In the pre-bidding process, you will also be able to set a maximum bid if you will not be able to be at your computer during the real-time bidding. Of course, there are advantages to holding off and waiting for the real-time bidding to begin as well. For instance, if you are only participating in real-time bidding, you won’t have committed anything if you decide that you have changed your mind (all bids placed are final should you become the highest bidder). You also won’t end up overbidding yourself. Like we mentioned above, you could potentially place a pre-bid higher than anyone else in the auction was planning on bidding, thus having to pay substantially more than you would have if you simply waited to bid once the auction was live. Real-time bidding allows you to have all the information possible before participating in the auction.

what is pre-bidding

Whichever way you choose to bid, you are sure to have a blast participating in an online auction. Auctions are such a great way to buy items you’re interested in and can often result in much lower prices than you would pay in a store. Afterall, YOU are the one dictating how much you are willing to pay!
