Bord Na Móna Equipment

tombofitz · 16-06-2015 12:34pm #1

Hi There, I`m new to this so please go easy. My dad had heard of old tractors and bog equipment being sold by Bord Na Móna but did not know how or where you get this information.

Does anyone know how Bord Na Móna sell their old equipment? Is it by Auction? Where do I find out about these sales?

Thanks for your help

they have sales in the midlands depots, blackwater, boora and so on every year or so. nothing much to look at. nothing has a battery in it so you have to assess as best you can.
on the day, you turn up, view, take a slip of paper and write the lot number and your bid, contact detail and hand it in.
some man in an office decides from there on.

if you can find a foreman in one of those depots you will know when the auction is on.

I bid 12k for a F140 with the head of the engine missing - rest looked ok, and I didn't get it. so nothing too cheap. (dunno where I would have found the 12 k or a head at the time but I thought it was worth a chance

at least on donedeal you can drive a tractor around the yard.

Thanks have2flushtwice. Yikes thats a lot I think my dad wants something for about half of that. He was looking for a Ford 8210, he says Bord Na Móna used to use these, did you see any of these at the sale you went to?

Thanks again for your help I`ll tell my dad.

cant say for sure, but the machines would have been around that size. I remember a few TW's also.

tombofitz · 16-06-2015 5:06pm

That`s great thanks. I spoke to a guy in Boora there and he says that Paul Cooke Auctions are running an auction of old Bord Na Móna machinery on 4th July in Blackwater. Just checked out their website there and there seems to be a good bit of stuff but no exact listing just yet. I`ll check back next week to see.

Thanks for the help.

You might be lucky and find something half decent, but have2flush is on the ball. Most of the stuff is scrap , or as near as makes no odds. They have been hiring tractors for the harvesting season for the last good few years, so that means there isn't anything recent to sell.

Ya to be honest you'd be hard pushed getting anything decent and anything too cheap is gonna be absolute scrap

bogman_bass · 16-06-2015 11:58pm

just going by the website it looks to be rough enough stuff

Jimlh86 · 20-06-2015 8:27pm

I could be wrong but I would have imagined a big company like that would look after their machines?

GreaseGunner · 21-06-2015 10:05pm

I'll probably call in on the Thursday for a look, in over 200 lots there surely has to be something of some good

rs8 · 04-07-2015 1:15pm

tomnjerry · 04-07-2015 10:55pm

On fire it looked like!

Ah no, there was an EX100 or 120 there that was burnt. I was up there om Friday, saw 1 other EX100, very rough yoke.

rs8 · 05-07-2015 10:40am

IH784man · 05-07-2015 10:46pm

The worst 135 went for 1200 I think the best 135 went for over 2k,lorry went for over 5k,6ft enough bucket 50mm pins 1400.uncle was at it,all very rough stuff and very big prices.
Why do a company like that abuse machines to have them in the way their in.

IH784man · 05-07-2015 10:47pm

I think a cab of one of them fire damaged diggers went for over 700 euro

rs8 · 06-07-2015 5:35pm

thanks lads was there friday and couldnt believe the scrap in it that all came probably from new from tax payers money!

I see on DD ganley in Kildare have ex council Masseys for auction. Would be well worth it if the money was right, well minded and all they really do as far as I can see is cut grass!

Ex council myth. Different drivers every day. Most have little or no experience. If you seen the amount of abuse those major toppers get you would wonder how the PTO remains in one piece. Most drivers can't understand not being able to topp a steel manhole cover. most are driven evey day so low hours means its probably been around the clock once or twice. Only good part is they are serviced on time.

selectamatic · 08-07-2015 10:08pm

Ex airport tractors are what ya want but they come up for sale once every blue moon! There's a few tidy yokes up at knock airport but I don't think they'll ever be sold. The vintage uk council tractors were some job masseys and db's painted yellow and most with fast road gearboxes and brakes all round from factory!

Jimlh86 · 08-07-2015 10:17pm

Fair points but still I reckon they are well serviced and have plenty more life in them!?

Ya to be fair council tractors should be in grand condition any rough topping or hedge cutting is going to be much harder on the implement rather than the tractor and the beauty of non farm tractors is they never see manure so the tin work is usually mint unless of course it's bord na mona yokes or any machines that have to operate near water!

Jimlh86 · 08-07-2015 10:25pm

I wonder will they be mad money?

All I've heard about these auctions is that the crap is cheap and good machines are scarse and bid up to the point where there is little value.

Anyone buy at the last auction ??

Not at all. Straight on a trailer and off to hammond lane!!!

White Clover · 05-07-2016 9:05pm

When did they start having these auctions? Was last year the first one? If so, they must have got on well.
You would want to be getting alot of them yokes to take away, the world of scrap there...

liam7831 · 05-07-2016 9:11pm

Some of them would be ok for a restoration if you had the skills

White Clover · 05-07-2016 9:47pm

liam7831 wrote: »

Not at the prices they were making last year!
They are nearly all very tired rough yokes with alot of hard hours done

larrymiller · 05-07-2016 9:49pm

Are they down sizing or just upgrading? A few but if machinery scrap or not

Odelay · 05-07-2016 10:17pm

Could be wrong, but looks like the shoite no one would take on trade in......

Track machines if got right could turn money on alright.
But yad want to go through them at the same time

But Jesus i assume their the best of the tractors....off to Eastern Europe with them

twin_beacon · 06-07-2016 10:20am

I used to work for the bord years ago, they got lots of John Deere 6830s in 2010, they would have been bought to replace the old fleet of mainly Fords (TW 15s, 8210s and some 8630s), and Fiats (mostly 140-90s, and some F140s).
The tractors would be regularly serviced, but have a mix of drivers, some are good, some I wouldn't let drive a remote controlled car! The cabs and body work are very rough though.

kevthegaff · 08-07-2016 3:02pm

A few 140 160-90s look in good condition, what sort of money would they be looking at?
