PURCHASERS from around the UK and Ireland descended on J36 Rural Auction Centre, Crooklands, for a major tractor and farm equipment sale.

The dispersal sale on behalf of Bryan Hoggarth Ltd follows the company’s amalgamation of two trading sites.

The sale, held on Saturday, included surplus modern and vintage machinery.

A Fordson Super Dexter in running order sold for £2,050 and later on in the sale a Nuffield Universal 4 sold c/w loader and in running order reached £1,200. A Ford 4000 skid unit (parts only) reached £1,000. A very rare Ford 6000 commander attracted keep interest but unfortunately failed to reach its independent valuation so remained unsold.

New Holland Tractors made up the majority of the modern sale items which saw a New Holland T7040 Power command c/w front linkage 50k box (08 Plate) sell for £30,000. A New Holland T6080 Command range 50k (10 Plate) sold at £28,000, New Holland T7030 Power command c/w front linkage (08 Plate) £23,200 followed by a New Holland T6020 Delta electronic range (04 Plate) at £22,500.

Over 300 lots of machinery parts and workshop tools sold to a buoyant trade with the vintage spares in particular selling to keen interest.
