Twitter; @ c lith a d v e r tise r The late summer machinery


sale at Gisburn Auction Mart turned outto be busier than anticipated and by 10am on sale day more than 300 lots of mainly machinery and imple­ ments were lotted up.


As always the banter was ex­


cellent, especially when a small rowingboatcameunder


the hammer when the jokes lastedlongerthanthebidding. Even interested bystand­ ers had to put their oar in, and


it sold for £30; not exactly a buoyant trade! Top price of the day was


£5,900 for a well-used 2012 NC dump trailer which after keen bidding went to a local property developer.


from the same vendor was bid to a sound £8,400 but re­ mained unsold. According to the machin­


ery dealers present, the ex­ port trade for second-hand tractors is proving difficult due to the strength of the pound and unrest in the Mid-


dleEast. . The scrap trade also took


a dive last week with the Chi-' nese economy having a down­


turn. This was evident with the


poorer prices for some of the old machinery. Some spread­ ers beyond sensible repair struggled to reach £106. Tipping Trailers were


the star items ranging from £1,000 for a straight twin ax­ le trailer with no tailboard to £2,000 for a strong locally made trailer with no major


faults. Three older tractors all


found new homes with a Ford 3600 in tidy order sell­ ing at £1,600, a Leyland 255 in very straight and original


order sold at £1,200 and an IH7844WD with Tanco load­


er climbed slowly to £3,150. At the end of the sale a very clean


JF tedder sold for an impres­ sive £2,200, not a bad result so


late in the season. The next sale is on Sat­


urday October 24th, private andtradeentrieswelcome.No
