Auction report: See what silage machinery fetched at Punchestown

The second Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) auction (of used tractors and machinery) took place on Saturday (February 24) at Punchestown Event Centre near Naas, Co. Kildare.

Close to a couple of hundred lots were up for grabs; these were consigned from FTMTA members (i.e. dealers and distributors dotted about the country) in the run-up to the event.

Some items were bought by punters at the event centre; there was a modest attendance at the venue. Other lots were chased remotely – by online and phone bidders.

AgriLand was there – to bring you pictures and prices from the sale.

Here, in this article, we focus on the silage and grassland machinery that was up for grabs at the auction.

The terms of the auction were as follows:

All (hammer/sale) prices are subject to a ‘buyer’s premium’:

• Assets sold up to €2,000 – 15% (plus VAT) commission;
• Assets sold for over €2,000 – 10% (plus VAT) commission.

All prices are subject to VAT at 23%, unless otherwise stated (in the captions below).

All lots were ‘sold as seen’.
