This year, research was not challenging, and there were no complex calculations involved. All sources confirmed that the quotes remained stable compared to the previous year, owing to the reduced purchasing power affecting vintage tractor collectors. Despite sustained interest and passion, very few transactions occurred, dominated by those with checkbooks at hand.
However, even those individuals had to contend with a reality that didn’t allow for lower quotes than those already established, which were already discounted. This situation, naturally, reinforced the trend towards selected brands that began the previous year.
Quotes for foreign tractors, which garnered little interest, remained at previous years’ levels, as did those for Italian tractors, which had declined by the end of 2022 and remained unchanged throughout 2023. Notably, only the most prestigious pieces produced by Fiat, Landini, and Orsi saw an increase, recognized as safe-haven assets that had steadily appreciated over time. While they maintained their quotes, they did not see further increases.
HOW TO READ THE TABLES
The three quotes refer to the overall condition of the tractor.
The first figure pertains to a preserved vehicle, unused for years but complete and operational with inexpensive repairs. Minimal mechanical work and replacement of tires or tracks are needed. The electrical system requires restoration, and the bodywork, although complete, needs attention.
The second evaluation concerns tractors already overhauled, fully operational but with many years of use. Tires are at least 80 percent intact.
Lastly, the third assessment is for fully restored and functional vehicles, with new tires or tracks and all documents in order.
It’s essential to remember that the absence of the famous “logbook” significantly lowers the quote for any vehicle. Additionally, it’s worth noting that sometimes a seemingly intact tractor may require engine or transmission overhauls, not to mention the costs for professional repainting. In such cases, restoration costs can far exceed the vehicle’s valuation, a situation common in the vintage car and motorcycle world as well.
