A selection of vintage tractors and machinery went under the hammer in England on Saturday (June 16).
The auction involved the sale of the Bowen-Jones Collection. It was held at Tiffield, Towcester, Northants (England).
It’s worth noting that 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 on the crawler tractors and tracked loading shovels present at the auction. Look out for accompanying reports, detailing how a plethora of wheeled tractors fared.
Tim Scrivener was at the sale for AgriLand; he sampled the atmosphere, captured these pictures and jotted down the key prices.
