No other brand at K-BID.com Iowa auctions covers the equipment range that AGT Industrial does. In a single auction cycle, AGT equipment can include a 3-ton diesel mini excavator, a compact track loader, a two-post car lift for a shop, and a portable sawmill for a timber property — all selling through competitive online bidding, all without dealer markup. That breadth is unique. No other brand appearing at Iowa K-BID auctions spans from heavy earthmoving equipment to shop tools to lumber processing under one roof.

This guide covers exactly what AGT equipment sells for at auction in Iowa. Whether you’re bidding on a mini excavator, a skid steer, a car lift, or a sawmill, the numbers below reflect what Iowa buyers have actually paid.


Why AGT Industrial Dominates Iowa K-BID Auctions

AGT Industrial — also marketed under the Agrotk name — has become the most product-diverse brand at Iowa K-BID auctions by a significant margin. While competitors like CFG, VICSEC, and LandHero focus on one or two product categories, AGT fields a lineup that spans:

  • Excavators: 1.5-ton gas models up to 3-ton diesel, including AC-cab variants
  • Ground-drive equipment: Stand-on skid steers, compact track loaders, and wheel loaders
  • Shop equipment: Two-post car lifts rated for passenger and light commercial vehicles
  • Timber and property tools: Portable sawmills capable of processing logs on-site
  • Cleaning equipment: Gas-powered pressure washers for farm and commercial use

That range drives auction volume. Iowa AGT lots attract bidders from landscaping contractors, hobby farmers, small construction crews, independent mechanics, and rural property owners simultaneously — creating the competitive bidding environment that drives final prices up from opening bids. A Kubota SVL 75-2 skid steer sold at a Nebraska K-BID auction for $40,800. AGT compact track loaders in Iowa are clearing $3,800–$7,805. The value gap is real.


AGT Excavator Auction Price Guide (Iowa)

Iowa AGT mini excavator auction prices vary widely by engine type, size class, and cab configuration. The Kubota diesel premium is consistent: expect to pay roughly three to five times more for a diesel model than a base gas model in the same weight class — and still come out well below dealer pricing for comparable name-brand equipment.

AGT Model / Description Size Class Engine / Config Iowa Auction Sale Range
1.5 Ton Mini Excavator (standard) 1.5 ton Gas $1,550–$3,200
1.5 Ton Mini Excavator w/ Kubota Diesel 1.5 ton Kubota Diesel $5,825–$7,500
QK18RXS-C Mini Excavator 1.8 ton Gas / AC Enclosed Cab $4,625–$4,776
QNT30 Mini Excavator 3 ton Diesel $10,100 (highest Iowa non-name-brand sale)

Standout data point: The AGT QNT30 at $10,100 is the highest recorded auction price for a non-name-brand machine across all Iowa K-BID auction data. Even at that price, it sits well below the $40,800 that a Kubota SVL 75-2 fetched at a recent Nebraska auction. The AC-cab QK18RXS-C is worth noting separately: at $4,625–$4,776, it commands a $1,400–$1,600 premium over the base gas 1.5-ton model, which is a worthwhile upgrade for operators working through Iowa summers on job sites without shade.

For context on competing excavator brands at Iowa auctions: VICSEC, MIVA, and EGN mini excavators start lower, with a price floor of $1,550–$2,500, making them an entry-level alternative for light-use applications where engine longevity is less critical.


AGT Skid Steers, Track Loaders & Wheel Loaders

AGT’s ground-drive lineup at Iowa K-BID auctions covers three distinct machine types. Each fills a different operational niche, and Iowa auction data shows consistent demand across all three categories.

AGT Model Machine Type Iowa Auction Sale Range Best Use Case
LRT23 Stand-On Skid Steer Stand-on skid steer $2,175–$3,450 Landscaping, light material handling, property maintenance
CRT23 Compact Track Loader Compact track loader $3,800–$7,805 Earthmoving, grading, soft-terrain work, farm use
KRW23 Wheel Loader Wheel loader Iowa auction data available Bucket loading, yard work, feed management on farms

The CRT23 compact track loader shows the widest price range in this category, reflecting condition, auction competitiveness, and included attachments. A CRT23 at $7,805 is still a fraction of the $40,800 benchmark for a Kubota SVL 75-2. The LRT23 stand-on skid steer at $2,175–$3,450 is among the most accessible entry points for a ground-drive machine at Iowa K-BID auctions.

Wolverine skid steer attachments also appear at Iowa K-BID auctions regularly, selling for $600–$1,725 — making it practical to equip a skid steer purchase with a bucket, pallet forks, or grapple from the same auction platform. Future Equipment excavator and jaw crusher attachments have also appeared in Iowa auction lots.


Beyond Heavy Equipment — AGT Car Lifts, Sawmills & Pressure Washers

This is where AGT separates itself entirely from every other brand at Iowa K-BID auctions. No other heavy equipment brand also sells car lifts and sawmills through the same auction platform. Iowa buyers with shops, timber properties, or diversified operations can bid on all of it in the same auction cycle.

AGT Product Category Iowa Auction Sale Range Notes
Two-Post Car Lift Shop equipment $1,000–$1,950 For passenger vehicles and light trucks; shop or garage installation
Portable Sawmill YC-32G Timber processing $1,625–$2,250 On-site lumber milling; suited for rural properties and small timber operations
Gas Pressure Washer Cleaning equipment Low price range Farm and commercial cleaning; frequent appearance in Iowa lots

The AGT two-post car lift at $1,000–$1,950 is a consistent value at Iowa auctions. New comparable car lifts from name-brand suppliers retail for $3,000–$6,000 installed. The portable sawmill YC-32G at $1,625–$2,250 appeals specifically to Iowa timber property owners who want to process logs on-site rather than hauling to a mill — a niche the K-BID platform serves better than virtually any other auction channel in the state.

Other Brands at Iowa K-BID Auctions

AGT dominates by breadth, but Iowa K-BID auctions regularly feature other brands worth knowing — especially if you’re building out a property, fleet, or operation and need more than just excavators.

SDLANCH Golf Carts & Shipping Containers

SDLANCH is the other high-volume brand at Iowa K-BID auctions. Their golf carts and shipping containers are among the most searched lots on the platform:

  • SDLANCH 6-Person Golf Cart: $3,308–$3,551 (Iowa auction data)
  • SDLANCH 4-Person Golf Cart: $3,026–$3,450
  • SDLANCH / AGT 40’ HC Shipping Containers: $5,065–$6,900 — a strong value for on-site storage, job-site security, or farm equipment protection

LandHero Mini Skid Steers

LandHero mini skid steers appear in Iowa lots at $2,975–$3,450 — a compact, maneuverable option for property owners who don’t need the full capability of an AGT CRT23 but want more versatility than a walk-behind tool.

Wolverine Skid Steer Attachments

Wolverine attachments sell at Iowa K-BID auctions for $600–$1,725 depending on attachment type. Buying a skid steer attachment from the same auction platform as the machine itself is one of the practical advantages of K-BID’s Iowa auction network.

VICSEC / MIVA / EGN Mini Excavators

These brands represent the lower price floor for mini excavators at Iowa auctions, typically selling in the $1,550–$2,500 range. They are a practical entry point for buyers who need a machine for occasional use and want to minimize capital outlay.

40’ HC Shipping Containers from SDLANCH and AGT at $5,065–$6,900 are worth specific mention: Iowa agricultural buyers have driven consistent demand for these lots, and the price range at K-BID auction remains well below the $8,000–$12,000 typical of direct container sales in the region.


Is AGT Equipment Worth Bidding On?

The honest answer is: it depends on the application — and Iowa auction data gives a clear framework for that decision.

Where AGT delivers strong value:

  • Kubota diesel models: The AGT 1.5-ton with Kubota diesel at $5,825–$7,500 uses a proven, serviceable engine. Parts are available through the Kubota dealer network across Iowa. For a machine running 200–400 hours per year on farm or light construction work, this is a legitimate long-term investment.
  • Shop and property equipment: The two-post car lift and portable sawmill serve highly specific needs. At $1,000–$2,250, there is essentially no comparable alternative at that price point through traditional retail channels.
  • Low-hour gas excavators for occasional use: A 1.5-ton gas AGT at $1,550–$3,200 is an entry-level machine for a property owner running it a few dozen hours per season. At that price, the value proposition is straightforward.

Where to bid carefully:

  • High-hour production environments: AGT gas-engine machines are not designed for daily 8-hour commercial operation. If you’re running a machine on a construction site every day, the Kubota diesel version or a name-brand machine is the right choice.
  • Parts availability outside the Kubota drivetrain: For non-Kubota AGT models, budget for the possibility that replacement parts may require longer lead times than domestic brand equipment.
  • Inspect before you bid: Iowa K-BID auctions offer inspection windows. Use them for any lot over $2,000, especially on machines with visible wear in lot photos.

The cross-state comparison is instructive: a CFG KKTA27 with Kubota diesel sold for $7,805–$9,600 in Minnesota and South Dakota. A Kubota SVL 75-2 sold for $40,800 in Nebraska. AGT Kubota diesel models in Iowa at $5,825–$10,100 sit in a middle band that offers genuine value for the right buyer.


How to Bid on AGT Equipment at K-BID Iowa Auctions

K-BID.com operates one of the largest online auction networks in the Midwest, with hundreds of Iowa auction affiliates running equipment lots throughout the year. Here’s the process for bidding on AGT equipment at Iowa auctions:

  1. Create a free K-BID account. Registration is free. You’ll need a credit card on file to place bids. No credit card is charged unless you win a lot.
  2. Search for AGT lots in Iowa. Use the search function filtered to Iowa and search “AGT” or “Agrotk.” You can also browse by equipment category (excavators, skid steers, lifts) to find AGT lots within those filters.
  3. Review lot details and photos carefully. K-BID listings include photos, condition notes, and auction terms. Read everything before placing a bid — especially payment timeline and pickup requirements.
  4. Attend the inspection window. Iowa equipment auctions typically include a preview date before bidding closes. If you’re considering a purchase over $2,000, inspecting in person is strongly recommended.
  5. Set your max bid before the close. K-BID uses a proxy bidding system. Enter your maximum and let the system bid on your behalf up to that limit. Most Iowa equipment lots close on a staggered schedule; the auto-bid feature prevents you from being sniped while you’re away from the screen.
  6. Arrange transport before you win. Mini excavators and skid steers require a trailer with appropriate load rating. Have transport lined up before bidding closes — pickup windows are typically 3–5 business days post-auction.
  7. Complete payment promptly. Payment is typically due within 1–3 business days of auction close. Check the specific auction terms for the lot you’re bidding on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AGT equipment sell for at auction in Iowa?
Based on real K-BID Iowa auction data, AGT equipment prices range from approximately $1,000 for a two-post car lift to $10,100 for the QNT30 3-ton diesel mini excavator — the highest recorded sale price for a non-name-brand machine at Iowa K-BID auctions. Gas-engine 1.5-ton mini excavators sell for $1,550–$3,200. Kubota diesel variants of the same class sell for $5,825–$7,500. AGT CRT23 compact track loaders sell for $3,800–$7,805. Portable sawmills (YC-32G) sell for $1,625–$2,250. All prices are final hammer prices from competitive bidding at Iowa auctions.

What is AGT Industrial / Agrotk?
AGT Industrial (also marketed as Agrotk) is a Chinese equipment manufacturer that produces a wide range of machinery including mini excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders, wheel loaders, two-post car lifts, portable sawmills, and pressure washers. Their equipment is sold in the United States primarily through online auction platforms like K-BID rather than traditional dealer networks. The brand is notable for manufacturing Kubota diesel-engine variants of their excavator lineup, which use the same Kubota drivetrain found in major-brand equipment and command significantly higher auction prices than their gas-engine counterparts.

What is the most expensive AGT equipment sold at Iowa K-BID auctions?
The AGT QNT30 3-ton mini excavator holds the top recorded sale price at $10,100 — the highest auction price for any non-name-brand machine in Iowa K-BID data. AGT 1.5-ton mini excavators with Kubota diesel engines have sold for $5,825–$7,500, and AGT CRT23 compact track loaders have reached $7,805. These figures reflect competitive bidding at Iowa auctions and represent strong value relative to comparable name-brand equipment: a Kubota SVL 75-2 skid steer sold for $40,800 at a recent Nebraska K-BID auction.

Can I inspect AGT equipment before bidding on K-BID?
Yes. Iowa K-BID equipment auctions typically include an in-person inspection window before the auction closing date. The specific preview dates, times, and auction location are listed in each individual lot on K-BID.com. For any AGT equipment lot over $2,000, attending the inspection in person is strongly recommended — it allows you to verify machine hours, check track and hydraulic condition, and confirm that all listed components are present before placing your maximum bid.

What other equipment brands appear at Iowa K-BID auctions?
Iowa K-BID auctions regularly feature SDLANCH (golf carts and 40’ HC shipping containers selling for $3,026–$6,900), LandHero mini skid steers ($2,975–$3,450), Wolverine skid steer attachments ($600–$1,725), VICSEC / MIVA / EGN mini excavators ($1,550–$2,500), and Future Equipment jaw crusher and excavator attachments. CFG mini excavators, which are a major category at Minnesota K-BID auctions, also appear in Iowa lots. The full equipment category at Iowa K-BID auctions covers everything from compact earthmoving machinery to shop tools to on-farm storage containers.

Are AGT car lifts and sawmills reliable?
AGT two-post car lifts have appeared at Iowa K-BID auctions over multiple auction cycles and are a frequently purchased shop equipment item. At $1,000–$1,950, they are significantly below comparable new car lifts from domestic suppliers ($3,000–$6,000 installed). For a hobby shop or small independent mechanic doing light vehicle work, auction-priced AGT lifts represent strong value. The portable sawmill YC-32G at $1,625–$2,250 is designed for occasional-use on-site lumber milling, not production sawmill operation. For rural property owners processing timber from their own land, it is a cost-effective tool at Iowa auction prices. As with any auction purchase, inspecting the equipment during the preview window and reading all lot condition notes before bidding is the best way to evaluate the specific unit available.
