Auction report: ‘Best of the rest’ at monster May tractor sale
Monday, May 14, saw the latest monthly Cambridge Machinery Sales auction take place at Cheffins Auctioneers’ sale grounds in Sutton, Cambridge (England).
These monthly sales can attract a huge number of lots, including tractors, construction equipment as well as farm and horticultural machinery.
They also attract Irish interest; some dealers, contractors and farmers journey across on a regular basis.
Tractors, plant and machinery offered for sale are consigned from private vendors, dealers (UK and overseas), local authorities and finance companies.
On the day, there was a varied selection of tractors on offer – classic and modern units. These were sold via a live ‘drive through’ auction.
In previous articles, we’ve reported on how some of the most populous brands fared. Here, we focus on other marques present – what we like to call the ‘best of the rest’.
Tim Scrivener was there for AgriLand to sample the atmosphere, capture these pictures and to jot down the key prices. All the pictures in this report are from Monday’s auction.
Please note that all of the prices referenced below are in pounds sterling.
All (hammer) prices are subject to a ‘buyer’s premium’ of 2%. Prices are also subject to VAT at the local rate.
