Cheffins is to host a timed online machinery sale on behalf of the Euston Estate, Suffolk, following its decision to extend its collaboration with contractors RG Abrey Farms.
The estate has agreed a new ten-year arrangement with the contractor to include all cereal farming. Three of the farm staff at the Euston Estate will transfer employment to Abreys.
The auction will take place from 3rd – 10th September, comprising over 70 lots of well-maintained modern agricultural machinery, says the company. This includes:
- 2024 JCB Fastrac 4220 tractor
- 2019 Fendt 718 tractor
- 2016 Fendt 716 tractor
- 2020 Amazone Pantera
- 2018 Sands Horizon 5500 self-propelled sprayers
Oliver Godfrey, head of machinery at Cheffins said: “The Euston Estate has an unrivalled reputation as one of the most important large-scale farms in the region. Every item of machinery in the sale has been carefully maintained as part of a highly professional farming operation, where reliability and regular servicing are fundamental to day-to-day management.
“This auction presents an excellent opportunity for farmers and contractors to invest in high-quality machinery following harvest, helping to strengthen and future-proof their businesses. We anticipate strong interest from farmers, contractors and machinery dealers from across the UK.”
The Duke of Grafton added: “Euston Farms and RG Abrey Farms have agreed a new ten-year arrangement that expands our collaboration beyond root vegetables to include cereal farming. As a result, much of our agricultural machinery which was used for cereals and arable crops is now surplus to requirements, hence our auction with Cheffins.”
