Auctioneer James Morrish reported over 800 people in attendance and a flying trade.Top price of the day was for a New Holland T5.120 4wd tractor with the pick of the eight tractors sold on the day, and selling for £43,000. A John Deere 6630 Std 4wd (2012) sold for £24,200.

A substantial entry of farm machinery generated a buoyant trade, with a Case 3.5t Mini Excavator (1999) selling for £5,700, a KV CTS 3m Stubble finisher reached £3,300 and a West 12T Trailer sold at £8,200 with the pick of seven smaller trailers, a Bailey tipping trailer selling for £3,300.
The sale also included a consignment of small tools and equipment on behalf of clients from Chepstow, Wales, where the top items made £100, and a 72% clearance for their 150 lots.
“All in all, it was a very good day in Middle England” reflects James, “buyers from as far afield as Northern Ireland, Sussex, Wiltshire, Cornwall, Milton Keynes and Oxford joined either in person or online. It was a privilege to conduct the sale at this prestigious show for a second consecutive year.”
