I live 20 miles from them. Its a mystery as to why they are selling out and nobody local knows about it yet, they dominated the area as far as crews go. I know I will at least have a chance to pick up some acres now. The auction is at the time our harvest is ready which tells me the bank is forcing the sale and wont allow them to generate income in their back yard further depreciating the machinery. Thats just a guess though.
Wonder if they're moving back to where he's from? I almost went on harvest with them last year too. May have to go to the sale since it's not too far away.
gday dairy man , are wrights in sydney ne still running ? done season with them a few years back ,had a great time , would be good to go again someday!
Machinery Pete will be at the auction videoing it. I heard on the radio a company out of south dakota is doing the auction which is really wierd since we have a plethora of auction services within a 50 mile radius, it's peculiar to say the least.
Too much new equipment , would be tough to make all those payments ? I can see why they are going out of business ..................I just seen Wrights at the Loves truckstop in Boise City ok . yesterday. Looks like a hand wiped out the top of his t600 KW had straps holding the top of the sleeper down bahahahaha
Not familiar with auction prices over there...but to me it seems a bit steep. Don't know why, but one outfit goes bankrupt, but then the banks go and give a loan to someone else to buy all of the equipment....in a circle it goes
The skuttlebutt about southfork goin belly up had alot to do with some questionable business practices stemming off of catastrophic insurance policies with deere. He owed deere alot of money....ALOT. The trucks really sold well, and the tractors brought top dollar, the combines didnt fare so bad either.
Jason chandler is the owner of south fork, he used to work for Scott Payne and then after Scott's accident Jason took over a part of Scott's operation.
Ya I think he still runs 3 machines and maybe even an experimental from deere.
