What is my John Deere tractor worth?

John Deere holds resale better than anything else in the field. Green paint, a clean hour meter and a loader is the combination buyers line up for.

Built from typical new cost, standard tractor depreciation and the adjustments John Deere buyers actually make for hours, condition, loaders and cabs.

How John Deere holds value

Deere carries the strongest used premium of any tractor brand in the country — typically 8 to 15 percent over a comparable machine from a value brand of the same horsepower, age and hours.

The 5E and 6M utility rows are the workhorses of the used market. A loader on a 5-series is nearly mandatory: without one the same tractor sits and eventually sells 10 to 15 percent back.

Compacts in the 1- and 3-Series depreciate slowly because acreage buyers keep replacing each other. A ten-year-old 1025R with under 700 hours still brings most of what it cost new.

What this estimate cannot see

  • Dealer distance. Buyers pay more when parts and service are close by.
  • Service records. A folder of receipts is worth real money to a cautious buyer.
  • Photos. Clean pictures from all four sides regularly add more than any option on the machine.
  • Timing. Tractors sell best ahead of hay season and planting. The same machine brings less in the wrong month.

Common questions

How do I find out what my John Deere tractor is worth?
Put the horsepower, model year, hours and condition into the calculator on this page and it returns two ranges: what to ask selling it privately, and what it would likely bring at auction. Then type your exact model into the comparables box to check it against what machines like yours ask on the wider market.
Does John Deere hold its value?
Deere carries the strongest used premium of any tractor brand in the country — typically 8 to 15 percent over a comparable machine from a value brand of the same horsepower, age and hours.
How much do hours take off a used John Deere tractor?
Hours only matter against age. A tractor puts on roughly 200 hours a year, so a 10-year-old machine with 2,000 hours is average. Half that adds value; double it takes value off — usually 15 to 25 percent at the extremes.
What does it cost to sell a John Deere tractor on BarnBridge?
A standard equipment listing is free. Equipment auctions carry a 4% seller fee ($75 minimum) and a 5% buyer premium ($75 minimum), both capped at $2,500, and no subscription is required to start one.
