The 2022 Gone Farmin’ Fall Premier auction manages to cash in $6.5 million in just three days. The Mecum Auctions event took place between November 17-19 at Bend XPO in East Moline, Illinois, and on the auction block it had 1,302 lots of tractors, vintage trucks, Road Art, and relics.
One famous UDLX tractor, which was among the leading units sold, is the 1938 Minneapolis-Moline UDLX from Lot F35 that cashed in $210,000. Also, a "one-of-a-kind" International Harvester HT 340 Turbine from Lot F60 was sold for $154,350. What made this second-highest seller unique was that it featured a turbine jet engine built from International Harvester’s HT-340 original blueprints.
On the third spot, raking in $115,500, was an Aultman-Taylor 30-60 from Lot F34. Next, an "extensively restored" 1929 Minneapolis 17-30 Type B (Lot F30) managed to pull in $89,250, while a 1964 Kenworth K825 (Lot K22) with a Cummins Big II engine was sold with a price tag of $88,000.
Moving on to the almost 700 Road Art items and relics, the top bid went to a John Deere Farm Implements Single-Sided Porcelain Sign (Lot M33), for no less than $17,700.
