B&B Used Tractors Dealership Photos

[duplin97]

Took a trip the other day down to a used tractor dealer. Had some interesting stuff on the lot. You can tell most of these tractors know what a hard days work entails...
Anyway onto the pictures!

Around here that's called a Junk Yard lol

So some tractors are a little rough that doesn't make them junk, I'd take a very rough looking 1466 with low hours, versus a nicely painted one with over 8000 hours and no overhaul

Yep, fresh paint is like make-up, it can cover up a lot of ugliness on the inside for a little while.

Several of my tractors I use on my hobby farm looks like these. Rusty, but going strong. They might look rough, but to me they are gold. Prices are cheap "Cheap Iron", and can get the job done. Dad found our Ford 3000 out in the weeds behind a barn for an example.

However you do have to be careful when dealing tractors like these. At times you will find a junker or one that turns into a $ pit. Then its not really worth it. I got a couple on my farm like that. But you live and learn from bad deals.

Nothing wrong if they get the job done without costing you a bunch in repairs in the process. We bought a Massey 178 at auction almost 2 years ago and it hasn't been out of the shop once since we picked it up. On the other hand, we have a TO-30 and have never had a problem with it and it looks worse then some of these. That 7020 in these pics has seen better days for sure. Thanks for sharing, Jared

Its a hooded sprayer. At one time they were getting phased out but recently cotton farmers are starting to reuse them as weeds get more resistant and harder to control.

80% of equipment here is nicer than that, but you have a few that are much like that. Do these tractors have cotton stalks in them. Our 2520 came from Missouri and it had a bunch of stalks in it and a wide stance.

Naw none of the tractors there had cotton stalks in them. Though I have heard a few Farmall vs tobacco stalk stories.

So true on that. Been there on a tractor myself. Which is why it stays in the shed. At times I'm ready to get rid of it, to get something newer and better. Its a gamble that is for sure.

I remember when Wayne bought a used Gleaner M2 to replace his F2. The combine spent nearly the entire harvest in the shop. And he had to pay someone else to cut it. Came next spring harvest, he has a John Deere 9500. Since then its provided him great service.
