Mason Auctions, in conjunction with Lulich Auction Company, LLC is pleased to present the complete dispersal of the legendary Jim Ludwig Vintage Muscle Tractor Collection. Consisting of 30 New Gen II and newer John Deere tractors, with industry-leading expert restorations and sound original machines as its foundation, the Jim Ludwig Vintage Muscle Tractor Collection is the stuff dreams are made of. Jim's reputation is as renowned as the collection he has built. With meticulous attention to detail, a passion for perfection, and a lifetime love for the brand that broke the prairies and became the global leader of the agriculture industry, coupled with the foresight to collect the rarest machine configurations in a series that is driving the collector market today, the Legend and Legacy Jim and his collection have earned will live on long after these tractors cross the auction block. Understanding that the legacy of these machines will outlive even him, Jim decided to offer the entirety of his collection at auction so he can witness that next chapter unfold.
