Major ‘on-site’ machinery dispersal sale (auction) events are something of a regular occurrence in the UK.
One such on-site sale was held at Abbotts Farm, North Tuddenham, Dereham, Norfolk, on Saturday, June 23.
The auction was mainly comprised of tractors, but there were implements and machines too.
The sale was conducted by Brown & Co.
This report focuses on many of the ‘classic’ and ‘vintage’ cab-less Ford tractors present. Look out for our accompanying articles, detailing the prices fetched by cabbed Ford tractors and other lots too.
Tim Scrivener was at the sale for AgriLand; he sampled the atmosphere, captured these pictures and jotted down the key prices.
All (hammer) prices are subject to a ‘buyer’s premium’ of 5%.
