Auction report: Deeres go under the hammer…from a 6900 to a 6930

A fresh-faced John Deere 6900 and 6810 were among a clatter of tractors that went under the hammer at an on-site auction in England.

The auction took place on Wednesday (May 23) of last week. It was conducted by auctioneer Brown & Co on behalf of Firs Farm, Caxton, Cambridge (England).

Major ‘on-site’ machinery dispersal sales come up just a handful of times in any given year here in Ireland; they are a more regular occurrence in the UK – thanks to the availability of a bigger pool of equipment.

This report focuses solely on the tractors present. Look out for another AgriLand article from this sale, detailing the prices fetched by implements and machinery.
