Wilsons is returning to a mix of online and physical bidding at auctions, the former being considered to be the future with many in the trade suggesting that the old ways were gone, and there was no longer the need for a physical presence at the sale itself.

This view was not always shared by the bidders themselves who would often wish to judge the mood of the crowd before settling on a final limit to their bidding.

Whether it is this, that informs Wilsons Auctions decision to hold its next sale in both formats is not disclosed, however, buyers will once again have the choice of attending a physical auction in person or remaining at home and bidding remotely.

The lots are situated at the site at Derrygreenagh, Rochfortbridge, Co. Offaly, although the auction itself will take place at Wilsons Naas headquarters on Saturday, November 26, starting at 10:00a.m.

As usual with the Bord na Móna clear outs of surplus stock, there is a good mixture of tractors, plant, tyres and spares to be put under the hammer by Wilsons.

There are a good number of tractors on offer with Wilsons, including the following models from John Deere.

Those looking for the reassurance of Basildon-built tractors are not to be disappointed either.

Those looking for a Massey Ferguson have a narrower choice, but there are still a few lots that would be suitable for running around the yard, including two MF 362s at 61hp.
