An auction of tractors and other equipment took place on Tuesday, December 10, at Augers Farm, Methwold, Norfolk.
The sale was conducted by Brown & Co.
In this report, we focus on the Claas equipment that was up for grabs. In an accompanying article, we detail how other brands/marques fared.
Tim Scrivener was at the auction for AgriLand to take these photographs and to note the prices. All of the pictures in this report are from the auction itself.
There was no ‘buyer’s premium/commission’.
Some (hammer/sale) prices were subject to VAT at the local rate (i.e. VAT must be added to some of the prices below). The VAT status of each lot is specified in the accompanying description.
Any statement of recorded hours may simply be a reflection of what was visible on the machine’s odometer or, if that wasn’t available, what was claimed in the auction catalogue.
The status (sold/unsold) of the lots detailed below is based on what we observed on the day; this was later confirmed by the auctioneers.
