What’s My Case IH 1255 Worth?

This What’s It Worth? analysis was sent in from Paul H. out of Minnesota.

Paul is considering selling or trading in his planter, a 2013 Early Riser 24-row Case IH 1255.

Before he makes a decision, he wants to know what it’s worth to see what he might expect to receive if he sells at an upcoming auction or as a trade-in at his local dealership.

Case IH 1255 Auction Value

An analysis of the Tractor Zoom Pro database reports an average auction sale price of $90,690 based on 16 sale results for all Case IH 1255 planters going back to February of 2018. Filtering down to those that are closer in age to Paul’s model, we find that 24-row 1255s that were manufactured in 2013 have an increased average auction value of $98,600 based on five comparable sales.

Paul has been the only owner of his 1255 and has used it to plant roughly 10,000 acres. He knows the used equipment market is hot right now, so he’s hoping the tight supply of 24 row planters with high quality row options could help him catch a premium price for his equipment. For instance, just two months ago a similar 1255 sold for $102,100 at auction in Nebraska!
