Auction Preview- Lopatofsky Sale April 13th! Here is a quick preview of tractors and equipment that will be sold at Lopatofsky's auction on April 13th.
Enjoyed your walk around the auction yard today Chris. A lot of nice stuff. I knew a guy who had one of those LONG tractors back in the mid 70's. Their made in Switzerland. His was a 4x4 and 50 to 60 HP. It was the first 4x4 tractor in our part of W.V. back in the 70's you hardly ever saw a tractor with front wheel assist. Now everyone has one LoL. 🚜
That's a cool Volkswagen. They use those baby round balers for pine straw around here. Great preview Chris and hope you have a blessed weekend my friend.
Wow Mr Chris, that auction sure had alot of stuff!! The little JD is either an L or LA, can ever keep them straight. The John Deere with the loader , looks to be a 730, the big wide yellow sloping stripe and tilt wheel are the give away. That was a gas, and thats the distributor for it, the pony motors were tucked way up under the hoods. Cant remember if the 730 diesels were direct start or not. They were the last series of 2cyl deere made. I looked at a Leland before trading for the 180. I was hoping to hear the 185 fire off!! The Oliver is a row crop 60. A friend of mine had a standard version that is around here a true gem 😁 Enjoyed it all Mr Chris!! That one 4x4 case would be a great tractor fir me ine day 😁 Thank you sir for bringing us along!! 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Yes the Oliver near the end is a Oliver Row Crop 60 The Case VAI is a industrial version. That's what the "I" stands for. Some of them have a really fast high gear but you need to look at the gear shift pattern to confirm. I'd like to have them. Thanks for taking us along. Curious to see what stuff goes for.
Thanks for the walk around. I am just north of you in western NY and might bid on a few things. I'd say that 1466 with no fenders previously had a cab on it. If I were a betting man I'd say its cab is next to the weights.
Thank You Chris, this was very interesting, Bandit have a Long tractor, I think a 850 but that was my first taking notice of a Long, I hoped you would try start the Ford, really cool tractors, that row of IH's definitely came from the same farm, all serviced and have the new steps on and some batteries replaced, agree with you they are ready for the field
That little Deere in the beginning is a LA. An interesting contraption & I wouldn't mind having one for that reason. The Deere with the NI loader is probably a 720. Kinda hard to tell with the walleye vision from your camera. Makes it look like you're about 3' tall. And everything looks fat. So please.... don't put me on there!! 😂😂
Year round cabs were built in Mankato Minnesota. 30 miles from the home farm. In the 80s they were popular. I've even delivered them to farms, and dealerships in that time frame.
