The Massey Ferguon 355 tractor made £5,850 and a 1982 6T Bailey tipping trailer made £2,900, and is returning to the manufacturer as a showpiece.

Approximately 150 lots were sold on the day by Mr Seymour and other parties who were kindly given permission to enter their machinery into the auction and the results also included a 1968 Massey Ferguson 135 Tractor for £2,600, 1985 Claas Dominator Combine at £4,000 and a McConnel hedge trimmer for £1,200.

The good turnout from potential buyers and strong bidding made for a successful day at a traditional small dispersal sale.
