Heading into spring 2026, the North Texas used farm equipment market remains competitive — but buyers are becoming more selective than they were in the post-COVID surge years. Here's what we're seeing on the auction block.
What's selling strong: Compact utility tractors (40–60 HP range) continue to command premium prices from hobby farmers and small operations. Quality gooseneck and stock trailers are moving fast — good condition 24' and 32' trailers rarely sit. Skid steers and track loaders from reputable brands (Bobcat, John Deere, CAT) remain in high demand.
What's softening: Large row-crop tractors over 200 HP are seeing more price sensitivity as commodity prices have moderated. Planter equipment tied to specific row configurations is harder to move without the right buyer.
The trailer market: This is where we're consistently seeing the most competitive bidding right now. If you have a quality trailer — stock, flatbed, equipment, or horse — this is a favorable time to sell.
Our recommendation: If you've been holding equipment waiting for the "right time," spring 2026 is a reasonable window for most categories. Contact us and we'll give you an honest assessment of current market conditions for your specific items.
