I was planning on having a farm sale but obvs not an option at the moment. Are people still spending is it worth trying to sell some on here or is everyone on stop to see what happens ?

our neighbour , wanted to sell all his kit as went into share farm . He got mark Brock oak field , valued it all . Had two others do same , mark had best deal , wrote him a cheque for all of it
mid you start selling bits off , all the good stuff will get cherry picked , and you left with less desirable items , unless your Robert k and have an immaculate farm and gear

Trying to sell a tractor just as all this happened. Pain in the arse. Time wasters ringing "would you take 10 grand for that today" thinking you are hard up.

We've just sold some machinery through TFF

The best thing to do is advertise it on here and farmers guide farm ads and see what happens.
