A high quality line up of tractors and arable equipment, maintained in prime condition, sold for as much as £65,000 as a Shropshire farm dispersal sale attracted a huge crowd.
Buyers from Ireland and across the UK competed for the equipment on offer at the auction, conducted by auctioneers Halls on behalf of Chris Marsh and family at Uckington Farm, Uckington, near Shrewsbury.
The day’s top price of £65,000 went to a 2018 John Deere 6155R Auto Power tractor, closely followed by £56,000 for a 2008 John Deere T560 Combine harvester with a 20 foot header.

“It was a fantastic sale of a magnificent range of arable equipment in prime condition that fulfilled all expectations,” said Henry Hyde, Halls’ graduate rural surveyor and auctioneer.
“A huge crowd of buyers, both on the field and online, from across the Irish sea and as far away as Cornwall, showed plenty of interest in the arable equipment which had been well kept by the Marsh family.”
The sale continued the successful series of on-site farm dispersal auctions conducted by Halls across Shropshire, the West Midlands and Mid and North Wales during 2023.
