Brocks having a clear out,
possibly overstocked ?

It’s a good way of finding it’s true value

Are they selling it themselves (bit like Ellis do,I think?)or through someone like cheffins?

Cheffins.
Stuff will most likely make as much as they got it advertised for

Really? The queue of foreign lorries outside the big auction yard would suggest otherwise

Export market is getting very strong again here at farm sales/ online etc.

As an aside there are also getting a lot of overseas lorry's back on the roads around here, lorry park the last two weeks has been full of them go back 12 months and there was only 2/3 overseas lorry's at anyone point in this lorry park.

Disagree, auction price is only on that day.

Far from it. The mechanically savvy foreigner can still fix our castoffs much more economically than we can.

Some of the big stuff they have does seem to stay in stock for a while

Think you find it goes out of fashion,
Big yellow Simba stuff was all the rage once, now it’s nearly unsaleable.

Arable farmers only buying things in fashion????

Biggest one that makes me smile is
Discs,
You have trouble selling a set of conventional trailed discs,
But call them Short Discs,
And they are all the rage, what a wonder new tool, !!

Last time I went to brocks (last time they did a new year’s sale I think) the impression I got was that they were doing much less SH machinery to concentrate on new stuff. I think this is likely because I can think of 3 SH machinery dealers within about 25-30 miles of brocks who have grown very rapidly in the last few years (one of which I believe is a relation).

It maybe a new tool in your neck of the woods but short discs have been used round here for decades! It’s not that long ago since the MF28 disks left our yard and those where bought new (before my time though)
