    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 tombofitz


    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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 74 ✭✭GreaseGunner


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

    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.
