    We were there-the fords made around 3k each on average.low hours but they were rough. You wouldn't be too confident in what you were getting. There was a fiat we were interested in but it was 7400 with no injectors. Went too price 28% with VAT and agents commission. There were some bargains on other stuff if you lived close enough.

    Was that including com and vat L1985, they were all missing key parts which wouldn't fill ye with confidence!

    No, the commission and tax was 23% and 5%on top. I'm not too upset over not getting it-too much of a gamble. They were fairly badly used. The worst part was 2 hours of wheels being auctioned. Can't say I found it that riveting!!

    They used to have a fleet of 135s with a track instead of a back wheel. I heard they buried them all.

    Sorry no lot nos l but wondering what the fiats made in general??


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,018 ✭✭✭L1985


    Lot 381 made €2350. The fords in general made between1700 and4800. Average was around 3200 mark.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,018 ✭✭✭L1985


    Sorry just reread that. We only saw one fiat new Holland auctioned the red one 1998. That made 7400. The other fiats were too big for us so we left.

    Jasus that seems like mad money for a cab and backend


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,018 ✭✭✭L1985


    Yeah two guys took it on. Mad thing was the first one went for 1800 and that one you could probably get to working order! You really needed to examine those tractors properly to see what you were getting!

    I was there to see it selling and at the time I though it was a complete rob, and I still think it is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,843 ✭✭✭kevthegaff


    Commission is a bit steep too.

    She made €6800 plus commission and vat


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,523 ✭✭✭White Clover


    Them tractors were a rob. Rough 4610's made over 3K. Clapped out battered rusty fiats making 6or 7k. All plus vat and commission.
    They'd be dear if they made half what they did!

    I'd agree with you on that one white clover. I stayed there like a clown until the end to see all the tractors/plant. The fiat/new holland L65 at 7400 plus all fees was as dear a tractor as I've seen in a long time. It's not like an L65 would be a major seller and have a good one of them let alone that one. And the MF 3645 I'd rate no better at 6500 as not a major seller either and have a good one of them. As the saying goes "expect the unexpected " at auctions!!!

    I'd say the second bidders went home happier then the winning bidders.......

    I was really only interested in the cab and was bidding online but didn't catch what it went for

    Both sold for about €4000 each plus commission and vat


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,843 ✭✭✭kevthegaff


    Was shocked myself at condition of machines, thought the fords looked a bit better but I never even hopped into any of them. Anyways bought a fiat privately since, was able to drive it and check it out properly
