New here and need some info

[Aldon 4,828]

Hmmm. Your just up the road from my brother.

 

Put on a wheel horse compadre meet and greet in the fall.

 

You have a great herd of horses now.

 

It might be surprising how many Virginians gather:-)

 

And I personally liked the far right little round hood in the pic. Also liked the Case and round fender panzer.

Pardon our manners. You did say just inherited...sorry for your loss, but we tend to lose our train of thought when we hear 50 to 75 horses...and

        Add in a few from North Carolina, only a seven hour trip for me!      I don't need any more, but you never know.

Makes me wish I still lived in Culpeper.

Not wishing to pry, but could you give a little background as to how all these tractors settled in one place?

And l love how you say your a John Deere kinda guy.  

Good luck. 

[Jjohnny1 63]

I am a John Deere guy, have a couple of 430's 420's 400's and 1 318.  I know a little about the Deeres as far as value, not much about the Horses.

My father in law was a tractor collector, didn't matter which brand.  He collected and very rarely sold anything.   He also very rarely restored any.  Wheel Horse was his favorite followed by Simplicity and Power King Economy.    We probably have 1000 lawn and garden tractors on his property of all makes and sizes.  Also many attachments. In the next few months i will be going thru them probably selling most.  

Here is a list we found he made of his inventory

6 A80                              C125

A90                                 C120

2 A100                            C180

B11                                  C12

B80                                  D180

B165                                 2 D160 one with back hoe  (rough)

C10                                  3 D200

C160                                D180

C114                                3 GT14

C120                               LT1100 workhorse

C116                                  800 workhorse

C195

2 C160

And others....i haven't checked this list but pretty sure its accurate

You are tempting me to drive to Virginia, I love the d series tractors and especially if they have a backhoe, that is also a very nice inventory. Those Pennsylvania panzers are also very rare depending on the location.

Holy Cow ,  heaven.

[12 hp Kohler 1,020]

Yeah, I think so to

[farmer 1,078]

I would imagine that a well advertised well organised auction would mean homes could be found for your tractors. Individual private sales would involve more time and potentially more hassle for you. 

Quite a delema, Good luck to you.
