GREELEY — As each antique tractor came up for bid Saturday, Howard Axelson jumped into the seat, started the engine and told the crowd about how long each tractor had been in his family and how it had been used. Then the bids began.
Auctioneer Terry Wiedeman, with Kreps Wiedeman Auctioneers and Real Estate, estimated about 1,000 people attended the auction on Saturday, saying people traveled from more than 20 states to attend the auction on Axelson’s farm northeast of Greeley.
Axelson decided to auction off nearly 40 tractors, some from as far back as the 1920s, along with other farm equipment he will no longer need, as Axelson and his wife, Jenny, plan to move to Montana and retire.
