A noteworthy ‘on-site‘ machinery dispersal sale (auction) was held at Rickling Hall (Saffron Walden) yesterday (Tuesday, March 27). The auction comprised of tractors and agricultural machinery. It took place in Essex, England.
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.
The sale was conducted by Cheffins – a company that is best known in tractor circles for its monthly Cambridge Machinery Sales events.
This report focuses on most of the implements and machinery present at the sale; check out our earlier report with details of how the combine, tractors, self-propelled sprayer and ATV fared.
