Report on Dispersal Sale Report, Stan Ainsworth, Eastham House Farm, Mitton Saturday 24 July 2010 |
||
|
With 800 lots on offer an early start did not deter bargain hunters from attending Stan Ainsworth’s big clearout sale. Stan is hopefully relocating and having sold the main buildings everything had to go. Rachel Capstick wasted no time selling the first 450 lots of miscellaneous lots including drills, grinders, breakers, saws etc. plus many more boxes of building materials and electrical items. Auction 2 started at 11.00am with stone arches, fireplaces etc. Original ornaments and anvils sold very well and a stone water feature surprised everyone at £1600.00. A statue of Napoleon obviously with one arm missing sold for an impressive £750.00. An original red phone box sold at £800.00 and a GR letterbox at £520.00. |

In the vintage auction bidding was brisk and with the added attraction of no VAT on these items private buyers were out in force. First up was a Grey Ferguson diesel running well and sporting a top quality paint job which sold quickly for £1500.00. Next on offer were a pair of 3cyl 35’s, one was well restored and one totally original, they made a strong £3,600 and £3,500 respectively both going to the same buyer. A late 1950’s Fordson Major on new tyres failed to sell despite it being a good runner and in need of very little work to make it a tidy example. A Nuffield 1060 which was totally original also missed the target at £1800.00. The big surprise was a David Brown 25D although very tidy it had not had the best of paint jobs but sold for an impressive £2,500.00. A Bristol crawler sold at £900.00 but the Garvie Threshing Mill failed to reach its reserve. |

Down the field the agricultural items sold as expected, a scrap JD round baler selling for £900.00 and a good uptake of tipping trailers and dump trailers followed. A David Brown 995 complete with loader again with no VAT made £2,900.00 but the David Brown 1210 4WD failed to reach its reserve but considering it was in very tidy original condition I am sure it should have been bought. Trade in the plant section was more cautious except for a Takeuchi 2.5 ton digger which topped at £15,100.00. This was an excellent machine with 3 buckets and new tracks and went to Hexham based plant hire company. In general it was a good days trading and Stan should be happy with the great crowd who turned up at Eastham House. |

Sale Report for W & F Peel, New House Farm, Brogden – Tuesday 6th July 2010
A great crowd turned out for the dispersal sale for William & Freda Peel on Tuesday 6 July. With 330 lots of sundries and machinery on offer and some top quality sheep and lambs the trade was brisk. William & Freda took the tenancy of New House Farm shortly after they were married and after farming it to a very high standard managed to fulfil their dream of owning the property. William was not sure there was enough items to make the sale worthwhile and thought that a lot of it was rubbish! Well it just goes to show that one mans rubbish is the other mans treasure. Helped along by friends, neighbours and family the day went well with several surprises in store. In the small items a bucket of drawbar pins made £25.00 and a PTO guard to fit a Ford made £32.00. 4 old milking machines which were definitely in kit form sold to neighbour John Parsons for £75.00 – there should be enough bits to make at least one working model. Aluminium milk churns are always popular and 13 averaged £30 each. Gisburn farmer John Crosier took the clay pigeon trap at £102.00 proving that it is never too late to start a new hobby. The milking parlour sold well to neighbour John Parsons at £2,100.00, this looked great value but the cost of dismantling and moving will be considerable. Stone troughs complete with plants sold to £450.00 each. In the large machinery section an almost new sheer grab fell to Jim Stephenson at £1500.00 and a well used 4wd Universal scraper tractor went back to the original supplier Stan Storey at £1200.00. Rachel Capstick took charge of the sheep auction at 1.00pm with 9 Texel x ewes topping the sale at £122.00 to P Simpson and store lambs to £64.00 head to A Moorhouse. Many thanks to everyone who attended this great sale. Auctioneers: Richard Turner & Son |

Sale Report for A & J Taylor Parsonage Farm – 26th February 2010
What do Farmers do on a wet Friday afternoon in February? The answer is go to a farm sale if there is one. It was pouring down with rain and a ¼ mile walk to the sale from a car park in Ribchester did not deter huge crowd of loyal Richard Turner sale goers turning up to Jan & Alan Taylors. Everyone knew that this would be a special sale with lots of good sheep equipment on offer and three exceptional tractors and with very few small tools to sell the auction moved at a good pace.
Galvanised equipment continues to sell well but as some farmers are quick to point out “the quality compared with paper thin new tackle is often very good”. There were plenty of sheep hay racks, lamb creeps and hurdles on offer and some good hay offered in 100 bale lots, which seemed to please most people who needed just enough for lambing time.
The machinery had been used very carefully and this was reflected in the prices especially for the tractors. The MF362 2WD complete with loader and showing only 614 hours had been the subject of great interest from Ireland and Dubai but it remained in the UK along with the Zetor 7245 both being purchased by local tractor collector Mr Gary Entwistle. The MF 135 with only 4,500 hours sold slightly under expectations to Bernard Dawson of Baycliffe, Ulverston, this tractor would be a good farm workhorse for many years to come.
Main prices – MF362 2WD £13,100, Zetor 7245 £7,200, MF 135 £3,000, Major Spreader £1120, PZ Haybob £1020, Lely 2 drum mower £800, I/W TA5 trailer complete with decks £1280, small bale hay to £2.80 per bale. Ferguson 3 tonne tipping trailer in poor condition £320, wooden sheep hurdles to £4.20 each.
Many thanks to all who attended the sale proving again that you don’t know what its worth till its gone under the hammer!

Report on Dispersal on behalf of Mrs Leah, Cragg Vale Held on Saturday 6 February
A foggy and frosty day did not deter a huge crowd travelling to Cragg Vale for a dispersal sale on behalf of Mrs Leah of Half Acre Farm. Situated on the longest continuous gradient in England this small farm provided the usual array of older kit but the exception in this case was the fact that everything was maintained to a high standard and had been carefully used.
Main attraction was a New Holland 276 hayliner which was almost factory fresh and sold for a crowd stunning £1880 not surprising as Cragg Vale does not boast the best haymaking climate. Haytime machinery sold at amazing prices a Fahr centipede stopping at £480.
The tractors were in good shape with 2 1957 4 cyl FE35’s making £1450 and £1420 both in good original condition and running well on sale day. A Zetor 6245 on a ‘J’ plate with only 1600 hours on the clock sold in 7 bids for an impressive £5,200 not destined to be a classic but a useful Pennine workhorse. Last up of the tractors was the farm workhorse a ‘J’ plate JD2250 4WD with popular MC2 cab and side mounted gears, showing 7000 hours and fitted with JD loader, bucket and spike, this was still a good tidy tractor and had generated over 40 enquiries the previous day. There was lots of hand waving as the first bid of £6000 was taken and Auctioneer Fred Spurgeon confidently took £500 bids still it stopped at £10,000, the hammer fell to local hotelier who needed a good tractor to clear snow from his car park!
Surprise of the day was definitely a Hillam 100 Rotaspreader, this machine had obviously done all the work on the farm but due to the excellent quality build of this locally manufactured machine it will still be spreading when many new spreaders are parked in the nettles. It sold to a local farmer for a £1000.
