With a raft of freshly restored Ford tractors up for grabs, this midlands auction was always going to garner significant interest from across the country and overseas.
The machinery clearance auction was held by Michael Doyle on behalf of Machinery Warehouse near Collinstown, in Co Westmeath.
With 60 lots up for grabs across a mix of tractors, farm machinery and plant, a 70% clearance rate was achieved on the evening.
This Ford 7810, fitted with a turbo and air conditioning with 7,729 hours, got €23,000 (no VAT) plus fees.
With almost 400 people registering to bid ahead of the auction, a further 3,500 viewers tuned in to keep an eye on proceedings.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of the interest was shown for the older Ford models, most of which were restored to a high standard.
