Along way to go ££££ to get to this, as a good like for like comparison.

Was everyone asleep?
Everything seems mega cheap

 

[s~~t shoveller]

Not everything was mega cheap,most wanted a bit of fettling,stuff was a little rough round the edges but serviceable enough in general.everyone emptied there pockets at another local large sale two days prior where things made plenty I think.

but yes the challengers seem a gift at that...ten grand doesn't get you very far in the world of 400hp plus tractors !even if they want squaring up.

They can take a fair bit of squaring up though.

If i was the vendor i would be really pee'd off. If its a line of similiar gates or fomething fair enough, but offering the second challenger without a bid stinks

 

[Martyn]

Not quite sure if they are the same machines but two challengers with high hours on dealer site being advertised for £32k and £48k.

Most farmers are asleep at sales.
Then they wake up to moan about dealers buying everything cheap

[QUOTE="glasshouse, post: 5648806, offering the second challenger without a bid stinks[/QUOTE]

I am fairly sure the auctioneer asked an “opening bid” of £10,000, based on what the first on made. The buyer who bought it, I believe got it as a “maiden bid”

Good job you never go to plant auctions. That's a different world.
Last month saw 13 two year old 3cx's sell. Polish internet bidder bought first one and took the lot. That shut the crowd up.
Apparently he'd left his 13yr old lad sat at home to do the bidding

Ha
Been to plenty
In a line of identical machines, the first one is always the cheapest, the auctioneer needs to make very clear he intends to sell them all as one, as buyers who have travelled far will be v pi.ssed off

Another example of how cheap the both were.... as if it were needed

But they usually make it clear first that the first winning bidder can choose which one or how many they want. So the first one will be the dearest.

Yes they do and I don't believe in the case of these £10k tractors that they didn't make it clear the option would have been given
