A farmer’s decision to retire has resulted in a machinery auction at Yew Tree Farm, Newton, Berwick, Shrewsbury on Saturday, May 16.
The auction, which is being organised by leading regional auctioneers Halls on behalf of John Reece.
“The range of machinery may be comparatively small, but is mainly new, little used and very well maintained,” said Halls’ director David Giles. “Of particular note is a 2002 MF4345 tractor which we understand to be one of the last eight built at Banner Lane before the factory was closed.
“Add to this the fact that it has only done 712 hours work at the time of cataloguing and is all mechanical with no electronics.”
Other machinery and vehicles on offer include a Ferguson T20 tractor, a 1995 Matbro 404 teleshift and a 1991 Land Rover Discovery. The sale will also feature a selection of implements, the contents of a workshop and 124 quadrant silage bales.
