Plow Auctions Heat Up: Fresh Finds Across the Midwest
Plow auction hero banner

The auction calendar is buzzing with plow‑focused events, each offering a distinct slice of farm heritage. The earliest spotlight lands on the Huge Toy Auction scheduled for late October. Hosted by Pro‑Auctions in Cedarville, this sale showcases over 400 pieces of farm‑themed toys, many still sealed in their original packaging. Collectors can expect a range of miniature tractors, implements and other farm‑related play items, underscoring a growing appetite for nostalgic farm memorabilia that remains in pristine condition.

Following that, the Paul Nesemeyer Estate Farm Auction arrives in early November. Taking place in Baileyville, the event features three newer farm tractors, a compact utility vehicle, an industrial mower and a broad assortment of tools and household items. The presence of modern tractors alongside a variety of hand and power tools highlights a trend toward mixed‑generation equipment sales, where buyers seek both contemporary functionality and the rugged simplicity of older gear.

Later in the month, Kuhlman Auction Service will host a home‑sale‑style event in Cannon Falls. While the primary draw is a restored classic sports car, the auction also includes a substantial collection of workshop equipment, garden tools and yard accessories. The inclusion of a high‑capacity table saw and other workshop staples points to a rising interest in DIY‑ready assets among rural buyers, many of whom are looking to upgrade their personal workshops while hunting for functional farm implements.

Across these three auctions, a clear pattern emerges: sellers are bundling traditional farm equipment with modern tools, catering to a buyer base that values both heritage and practicality. The emphasis on original packaging for toys, the mix of newer and older machinery, and the presence of robust workshop gear all signal a vibrant market for plow‑related items that bridges generations and interests.
