Thanks to Tractor Zoom for supporting small auction companies! We are really excited about this for the Arterburn Family!
Well, RICE Auction Company went and raised the bar for John Deere 4430s. This one-owner, 3,636-hour 4430 brought $45,500 on Saturday—a new auction record by $250. For context, the top half of the 194 we’ve tracked this year average $21,355.
Also worth noting: Jake and Melanie marketed this sale really well. Paid social, multiple organic posts, print—and not just the same flyer over and over.
A great tractor helps. So does making sure the right buyers see it.
Nice work, team! 👏
