Farmers and contractors are regular attendees at Hennessy Auctioneers’ monthly machinery auction; it’s typically held on the second-last Saturday of each month at Portlaoise Mart.

As well as their regular installments, the company also undertakes on-site auctions – typically for farm machinery clearance sales.

In a wider exercise, the company has compiled an interesting review of 240 items across a range of categories – consisting of pictures, key details and hammer prices.

For now, we’re chiefly concerned with tractors – and how much they sold for.

There is no VAT on these hammer (sale) prices, unless otherwise stated.

All (hammer) prices are subject to a ‘buyer’s premium’ of 5%, up to a maximum fee of €500 per item.

Hennessy Auctioneers’ next sale takes place tomorrow (Saturday, December 16). It kicks off at 11:30am.

Lots will include a John Deere 6910 (with a Quicke front loader), a New Holland 7840, a John Deere 3040, a Ford 7610 (with a front loader), a Massey Ferguson 6170 (with a Rossmore FL100 front loader), a John Deere 2140 (2WD), an International 784 (2WD) and a Massey Ferguson 135 – plus plenty more.

Of course, stay tuned to AgriLand for reports from upcoming farm machinery auctions.
