An analysis of the Tractor Zoom Pro database on July 11, 2022 shows an average auction sale price of $181,900 for all 2010 9430s sold in the last year, which is almost 30% less than what this tractor sold for on June 8! The premium sale price can likely be attributed to the limited supply of quality tractors in the market. According to the May Tractor Zoom Used Equipment Index, we have not seen so few high-quality row crop tractors hit the market since the earliest part of 2019.
