Hennessy Auctioneers’ most recent monthly machinery auction took place on Saturday (March 24) at Portlaoise Mart.
There was reportedly a “good trade” for clean equipment.
An 84% clearance of the 535 lots was apparently achieved on the day.
Farmers and contractors are regular attendees at Hennessy Auctioneers’ monthly machinery auction; it’s typically held on the second-last Saturday of each month.
As well as its regular installments, the company also undertakes on-site auctions – typically involving farm machinery clearance sales.
Below is a sample of the results from Saturday’s sale, with a focus on the larger lots (i.e. tractors and farm machinery, rather than smaller items).
The sale did include some tractors – for example a Ford 8210 (Super Q) and an older 6710 – and telescopic handlers. There was also a selection of implements.
There is no VAT on the hammer (sale) prices below, unless otherwise stated.
All (hammer) prices are subject to a ‘buyer’s premium’ of 5%, up to a maximum fee of €500 per item.
