You spend a lot of time and money on restoring your tractor but is it all worth it?
Ask anybody who has restored a tractor and they will tell you it is. You need only look at the classified adverts in the leading tractor magazines and you will see that the prices are increasing all the time.
But it's not necessarily the monetary value that's important. For a lot of people it's the satisfaction of saving a bit of farming heritage and the pleasure of using it to work or take to events and rallies.
Thats all very well and good but your little pride and joy does have a monetary value and its condition, rarity and whether there is anything out of the ordinary about it will affect its value. You can check out some sample guide prices below.
There are three grades as follows:-
Grade 1: Not running & dragged from the hedge condition.
Grade 2: Needs work but it runs.
Grade 3: Restored to a high standard.
