“Hard cash actual auction sale prices will always be the truest barometer of current used equipment values,” said Greg Peterson, known as Machinery Pete. “This has been true for the 30+ years we have been tracking used equipment values. Auction pricing is very responsive; put it up for sale, and we’ll find out what it’s worth. Used values are up significantly since fall 2020.”
