[AT] Big Sale Day

[Joe Hazewinkel]

The Fitch tractor I was after quickly went beyond my reach.  Initial estimates were between $15-30,000.  I was prepared to spend between $15-20,000 for it.  The opening bid was $20,000 and it went up from there.  The final price was $40,000 not including the buyers premium or sales tax.

In the end I was glad I got to see it in person.  I took a bunch of pictures, and hope to see it again.  I have no idea who took it home, but since it is so rare, it will make a good conversation piece in anyone's collection.

Enjoy, Joe
