They are trying to get a food truck; however, due to the short time frame of the show they\u2019re finding it difficult.\u00a0 They do plan to have ice cream. Check out their Facebook page for details. They typically have around 20 tractors. Please bring a tractor and\\or attend their show and pass the word along to all your friends.\u00a0 They finished work on a 1782 Cub Cadet. They\u2019ll be moving on to their next project.\u00a0\u00a0 Money raised for selling their finished tractor will go towards sand blasting and parts needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discussion Items: <\/strong>People have been seen planting corn around Nevada and Ames. \u00a0It was noted it must be a new hearty cold weather variety!<\/p>\n<p>The Gilbert high school students need assistance with the Minneapolis Moine carburetor.\u00a0 Don will meet with them to see what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>Dates for shows this year where reviewed.\u00a0 It\u2019s believed the date should be changed to July 13<sup>th<\/sup> for the Gilbert Tractor Club annual tractor ride.

You can view all auctions, including the archives to see what things have sold and what they sold for.\u00a0 You can place on line bids, which works similar to e-bay.\u00a0 You can place what your highest bid would be, in the event you\u2019re not home.\u00a0 The system will auto bid for you each time someone outbids you, until it reaches the maximum amount you\u2019ve entered for a bid.\u00a0 When you contact them for an auction they\u2019ll cover pricing, % of commission, type of equipment, all which also depends on options you select for advertising. They\u2019ll take photos, have things cleaned and suggest what you need to do to bring top dollar.\u00a0 They\u2019ll give you an idea of price it could bring if done with their assistance and advise.<\/p>\n<p>Seth suggested the best time to buy is when you see it, if you really want something.\u00a0 If you wait it may be gone and for rare hard to find items it may be your last chance to even find something for years.\u00a0 Make sure you check things out yourself before you buy, afterwards you own it and it\u2019s to late.\u00a0 It\u2019s harder to sell older equipment especially things like tractors with pickers as a unit. Land does pretty good and the area makes the difference, plus the number of acres.\u00a0 Seth stated he was basically a \u2018Yep\u2019 man for an auction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 05, 2024 Meeting Place: Gilbert High School Classroom \u2013 7 p.m. Welcome \\ Introductions: \u00a0Don kicked off our meeting.
