More than 90 tractors are set to go under the hammer as part of an “online live virtual auction” being held on behalf of Bord na Móna next week.
There will be about 200 lots up for grabs on the day overall, with further photos of lots emerging in recent days – and viewings available for appointment (under strict social distancing procedures) from tomorrow, Thursday, June 25, onwards.
Semi-state body Bord na Móna will be selling off all surplus-to-requirement machinery at the online sale, including tractors, excavators, bulldozers, tyres and other lots, according to the auctioneer.
The online auction will take place at 10:00am next Wednesday, July 1, the auctioneer confirmed, following its postponement prior to the Covid-19 lockdown. Click on a thumbnail in the gallery (below) to open up a full-size image; once opened you can scroll sideways to see the next picture.
