The sale was held on 21 January, at the Euro Auctions site in Dromore, County Tyrone. This was a very special consignment of exceptional quality machinery with 160 pieces of agricultural machinery and attachments going under the hammer.

Well-maintained machinery sold in this one-day sale included harvesters, tractors, wheeled loaders and telehandlers, slurry tankers, silage trailers, pumps, balers, rakers and mowers.

With a big crowd on-site, floor bidding was strong on the day, but it was internet biding that proved the strongest with 70 per cent of the hammer total being bought online.

Raymond Donnelly, manager of the sale, commented: “The inventory for this sale was of a very high standard and we knew there would be a huge amount of interest, not just locally, but from buyers globally.

"With such a line-up of 2018 to 2022 plate machines in excellent overall condition we knew this sale would draw much attention and we had bidders from 44 countries. That said, at all Euro Auctions sales in 2022, the home market seems to bid stronger and harder, with the UK and Republic of Ireland winning 90% of all lots.”
