SPENCERVILLE — A 20-year-old John Deere 9410 combine sold for $89,000 at a recent Eastern Ontario auction, the highest auction price in North America for that type of combine in six years.
The John Deere 9410 Maximizer with 2,520 engine hours and 1,760 separator hours was bought by Morrisburg’s Jeff Van Moorsel at Albert and Betty DeWitt’s Thanksgiving Day farm auction at Spencerville.
According to Machinery Pete — aka Greg Peterson of the U.S.-based AgWeb web site — that is the highest price at auction for a John Deere 9410 combine in six years. The last time a price went that high — CDN $89,000 is equivalent to US $68,530 — was when one with 1,850 engine hours sold for US $80,000 on Nov. 8, 2012 in Nebraska.
