A machinery auction is scheduled to take place later today (Thursday, July 27) at GVM Tullamore Livestock Mart, Tullamore, Co. Offaly.
Viewings prior to the sale have been ongoing since 10:30am this morning; the auction itself is set to begin at 1:30pm this afternoon.
According to GVM, the sale is taking place on the instructions of a local resident to the area, with no outside lots accepted for the auction.
There are some key attractions at the sale, which are likely to attract a local flurry of interest.
One of the stand-out items up for auction is a 2004 New Holland TM120, which has just 5,109 hours on the clock. It is described as being in “mint condition”, while a full service history is available.
Also up for auction will be a 2011 New Holland T5070 with a same-brand loader. There are 2,680 hours on this tractor, with tyres described as being “60%”. The loader includes a Quicke 6ft bucket and 5ft tine grab, described as being in “excellent condition”. Again, a full service history is available.
In a separate lot, a full set (10) of New Holland weights will be on offer.
Meanwhile, sticking with New Holland, a 2001 New Holland LM410 teleporter with a telescopic reach will be on offer. This lot includes a 7ft bucket and pallet forks. Hours have not been disclosed for this machine; a full service history is available.
In terms of implements, a range of mowers and rakes is available. A 2013 2628 M 9ft Kverneland mower will be up for grabs to the highest bidder, while a 2011 10ft 6in Splendimo PC 321 trailed Lely mower will also go under the hammer.
A 2012 Lely rake and a PZ hay turner will be offered, while a Hi-Spec agitator and a same-brand 800 muck spreader will also feature.
In addition, a 2004 2,400-gallon Major slurry tank and a 2013 Bogbale L2 Plus 1.5t spreader (complete with cover) will be up for sale.
A 2013 Ifor Williams cattle trailer (12ft) with a dividing gate and slurry tank will be auctioned, alongside a McConnell PA93 hedge-cutter.
There will also be a variety of other equipment on offer, including trailers and swarthers.
