Buying equipment in Northeast PA

Where the auctions are

Fraley Auction Co., based in Muncy, runs the Lime Hill Consignment Auction on Old Stagecoach Road in Wyalusing, Bradford County: farm machinery, construction equipment, tractors, trucks and trailers in one year-end sale. In Clifford Township, Susquehanna County, Lopatofsky Auctions holds online-only construction sales and a year-end consignment sale that closes around New Year’s. Upcoming dates are in the calendar above, and our guide to farm equipment auctions in Pennsylvania covers the rest of the state.

Sales tax

Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Bradford, Monroe and Pike add no local sales tax, so the rate is the state’s 6%. At an auction it applies to the full price, buyer’s premium included. Equipment used predominantly in farming can be exempt with a completed REV-1220. Details in our guide to PA sales tax on used heavy equipment.

Hauling on I-81 and I-84 in winter

When a storm hits, PennDOT’s District 4 can put Tier 1 restrictions on I-81, I-84 and I-380. Under Tier 1, pickups towing trailers and tractors pulling empty or lightly loaded trailers are not allowed on those interstates, which covers most rigs headed out to pick up a machine. Check restrictions before you schedule a winter pickup. PennDOT is also rebuilding I-81 and I-84 through Scranton and Dunmore through 2031, so expect lane restrictions near the I-81/I-84 interchange. Trailer and permit rules are in our guide to transporting heavy equipment in PA.

6%, the state rate. Only Allegheny County and Philadelphia add a local tax. Equipment used predominantly in farming can be exempt with a completed REV-1220 certificate.

I’m buying from New York or New Jersey. Do I pay PA sales tax?

Only if you take delivery in Pennsylvania. If you pick the machine up in Carbondale or Dunmore and haul it to Binghamton or northern New Jersey, the dealer collects PA’s 6%. If the seller ships it out of state, no PA tax applies. Either way, your home state’s use tax rules apply once the machine arrives, so check them before you buy. More in our PA sales tax guide.
