UNDER THE HAMMER
Due to a change in farming policy, Thompson
Elmham Farms instructed a machinery sale at
Elmham in the heart of Norfolk. FW went along
too, and got wet with the rest of the crowd
1. Up she goes… Spalding father and son team Chris (left) and Colin Marshall load up their boot.
2. Tractors sold well, as did trailers and potato equipment. Auctioneer Robin Lansdell said there was a very good crowd with visitors from a wide area and some good bidding. Top price tractor was a New Holland TM165 that made £29,500. The New Holland TX36 combine sold for £25,000.
3. Tractor junkies were happy punters. This Case Magnum made £19,750.
4. Dont fall in, it could be "tyreing" pulling you out!
5. Game for a laugh? No way. These gamebird drinkers made £7 each.
6. Local farmers and farm employee Michael Curling (centre) chat over the Kverneland five furrow plough that made £4000.
7. There was a lot of interest in potato equipment with a Grimme potato harvester making £25,000. But this destoner didnt make its reserve.
8. In the dry before the sale started, Dereham farmers Mark Dugdale (left) and Norman Eagle. Watching intently is Foxy the dog.
