The three valuations refer to the overall condition of the tractor. The first figure corresponds to a preserved tractor that has been out of use for years but is complete and functional, requiring only minor repairs. Minimal mechanical work is needed, along with replacement of tires or tracks. The electrical system needs restoration, and the bodywork must be complete, even if it requires repairs.
The second valuation applies to tractors that have already been overhauled, are in full working order, but show their age. Tires must be at least 80% usable.
Finally, the third valuation refers to tractors that have been perfectly restored and are in full working condition, with new tires or tracks and all documentation in order. It is always worth remembering that the absence of the so-called “registration booklet” drastically reduces the value of any vehicle.
One last note: sometimes you may purchase a tractor that appears to be intact, only to discover under heavy use that the engine requires an overhaul, and occasionally the transmission as well—not to mention the costs of a professional-grade repaint. In such cases, restoration costs can far exceed the tractor’s valuation, a situation often encountered in the world of classic cars and motorcycles.
