A major ‘on-site‘ machinery dispersal sale (auction) was held on behalf of Paul Gunther Contracting (who has retired) at Felthorpe, Norwich (England) on Wednesday (February 7).
The auction comprised of tractors, foragers, loading shovels, a telescopic handler and an array of equipment (including multiple muck spreaders and trailers).
These events are a regular occurrence in the UK – thanks to the availability of a large pool of equipment. They come up just a handful of times in any given year here in Ireland.
Here, in this article, we focus on how most of the tractors fared ‘under the hammer’. There was a big fleet of Massey Ferguson units up for grabs – including a ‘classic’ 3080.
The sale was conducted by ‘Irelands Arnolds Keys’ – a UK-based auctioneering firm.
