Why Consign Equipment, Your Farm & Industrial Equipment, with the Specialists at Clines Equipment

As August winds down and Midwest farmers across Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma wrap up summer work, a lot of operators are looking at the equipment sitting idle on their property and asking the same question: “Should I consign this?”

If you’re thinking about turning that tractor, trailer, cultivator, skid steer, or industrial piece into cash, the company you choose makes a huge difference.

At Clines Equipment in Aurora, MO, we don’t just run auctions. We are farm and industrial equipment specialists — and that single focus is exactly why so many sellers get stronger results when they consign with us.


Specialization Matters More Than You Think

When a general auction company decides to host a “consignment auction,” they often handle everything from household goods to vehicles to real estate. Farm and industrial equipment is just one more category on a long list.

At Clines Equipment, farm and industrial equipment is the list.


For more than 35 years, owner Larry Clines and our team have lived and breathed tractors, combines, hay tools, construction machinery, trailers, and heavy industrial gear. We know:

  • What Midwest buyers are actually looking for right now

  • How to present equipment so it shows its true value

  • The seasonal timing that drives the strongest bidding

  • Which details matter most to serious equipment buyers


That depth of knowledge translates into better marketing, more qualified bidders, and consistently higher sell-through rates. Our quarterly consignment auctions regularly achieve an 85%+ sellout rate on big equipment — because the right buyers show up when the right equipment is on the block.


What Happens When You Consign with Clines

We make the process simple and seller-friendly:

  1. Call us — We’ll talk through what you have and give you an honest assessment.

  2. We handle the logistics — Our team can pick up and transport your equipment to our secure facility in Aurora.

  3. Professional presentation — We photograph and list your items on our website, auctionzip.com and EquipmentFacts.com so they get maximum exposure.

  4. Targeted audience — Your equipment is marketed to a dedicated following of Midwest farmers, contractors, and industrial buyers who already trust Clines auctions.

  5. Live + online bidding — On auction day your items sell both in-person at our yard and online, giving you the widest possible pool of bidders.


You stay in control, get professional handling, and benefit from an audience that understands the true value of good equipment.


The Right Time Is Right Now

We’re currently accepting consignments for our Fall Consignment Auction on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

The sooner your equipment is listed, the more advertising it receives. We will accept items through September 25th, but early consignments get the strongest exposure. Gates open early and bidding starts at 9:00 AM rain or shine — live on-site in Aurora and online through EquipmentFacts.com.


Whether you have one piece or an entire yard full, we treat every consignment with the same care and expertise.
