There are several tempting farm machinery dispersal sales coming up over the next few weeks, Kivells auctioneers have announced.
The first is the dispersal of tractors, milking equipment and farm machinery at South Newton Farm near Umberleigh in North Devon.
The sale will take place on Saturday, March 26 and it includes two top class New Holland tractors, a Manitou MLT handler, two Astronaut milking robots and a full range of farm machinery on behalf of Messrs GW Thorne & Son.
On Saturday, April 2 Kivells move onto the Spring auction at Holsworthy - and it has more than 1,500 lots from three full and part dispersals.
The first is the continued dispersal on behalf of Brian & Helen Allin of Torrington, due to ill health.
It stars the John Deere combined harvester 1075, a 14ft Ifor Williams livestock trailer and the very special Ford 8210 tractor which has done less than 4,000 hours.
Also at the sale will be the very well respected line up of vintage lorries, car, tractors and crawlers from Launceston which include the Austin loadstar 5tn truck c/w Perkins 4236 engine and demountable beaver tail underfloor.
The 1937 Morris 8 car has already attracted huge interest and comes to the sale in original condition having been under ownership since 1947.
A wonderful and very rare line up of tractors and crawlers include 1930s Massey Harris GP 4x4 tractor, 1919 Wallis model K, 1926 Cletrac model K20, 1940 Allis Chalmers and the 1950s International.
The sale starts at 9.30am and will be by live auction with online bidding available via Marteye.
