Auction report: Trailers and root-crop equipment plentiful at ‘on-site’ sale

A major ‘on-site‘ machinery dispersal sale (auction) was held on behalf of Coates Contracting at Manor Farm, Kings Lynn, Norfolk (England) recently – on Wednesday, December 6.

The auction comprised of tractors, a telescopic loader and a whole brace of machinery – including a significant haul of root-crop equipment.

We’ve already reported on how the tractors and the lone telescopic handler – a JCB – fared at the sale.

Here, in this follow-up article, we detail the prices achieved by the machinery lots (including a healthy selection of trailers and root-crop equipment).

The sale was conducted by Cheffins – a company that is best known in farming circles for its monthly Cambridge Machinery Sales events.
