An auction of tractors and other equipment took place on Tuesday, December 10, at Augers Farm, Methwold, Norfolk (England).
The sale was conducted by Brown & Co.
In this report, we focus on some of the tractors, along with a telescopic handler and a self-propelled sprayer. In an accompanying article, we detail how the Claas equipment fared.
Tim Scrivener was at the auction for AgriLand to take these photographs and to note the prices. All of the pictures in this report are from the auction itself.
There was no ‘buyer’s premium/commission’.
Some (hammer/sale) prices were subject to VAT at the local rate (i.e. VAT must be added to some of the prices below). The VAT status of each lot is specified in the accompanying description.
