The auction, which was held on Saturday 26 March, took place on the LSL platform with a total of 550 bidders registered as the sale commenced at 10.30am.

Of the 465 lots which ranged from tractors and implements t?o other farm and livestock equipment sold, a clearance rate of 81% has been reported by Hennessy Auctioneers.

There was a number of other machines that sold well on the day, with the prices paid reflecting the hunger for such machinery.
