Cheffins Monday

[BarleIndustries]

Morning all,

Is anybody heading up to Cheffins on either Sunday or Monday?

There is a 7710 I am interested in but can't get away. Just somebody who can check it starts runs and drives nothing more.

Could chip in on some fuel or something if it helps.

Thanks

Will they give much info, there is a machine we are half interested in but unlikely to get there. What is the format once you have bid and won? In terms of paying fetching the machine etc it’s a long way to go to find out we have bought a pile of rust

You bid. You win. You pay. You collect. Pays your money and takes your chance

Thats what I thought but it’s a 4hour 200+ mile trip each way with Covid etc what’s the viewing set up like?

Open Sunday till 4.00 I believe
What's the item?

An old 575 4wd but looks a bit rough and no registration visible or in description which is a pita

Was much busier than I expected last Sunday.

is the 575 in the drive through auction or the dead auction ? that will answer most of the questions you have

 

[BarleIndustries]

Fair comment about taking your chances but if its not even in the yard and you can't even get a picture of it thats some risk. Ive bought plenty off them in the past but viewed it first.

It’s in the “old tractor” auction I think I’ll leave this one as it’s not exactly what we are looking for.

It's Saturday! They are open tomorrow till 4.00 I think

 

[BarleIndustries]

@HDAV No bother at all.

IS there a specific number for machinery sales to ring? 01353 777767 is the one i found

They need to sort it out getting photos of lots. At least ask for a photo when the seller submits the lot so you have a basic idea. Machine that has no photo and rolls up at 6.00pm on the Sunday night wreaks of being a dog and basically trying to keep it out of viewing as long as possible before auction starts. Not a lot to ask to pay 18K plus

Or the less cynical view is that a lot of tractors come from Ireland. Dealer brings them over Sunday. Sleeps over and takes a load home Monday

 

[BarleIndustries]

But too much to ask for a photo?

If it's not on site they can't photograph it

 

[BarleIndustries]

Impossible for the seller to enter a photo with the lot FFS
