Machinery & Dispersals

“Classic Massey’s ring the bell at Derbyshire Dispersal” Mark Elliott

The Bagshaws team out in force for the dispersal on behalf of Mr Lawrence Gratton who is retiring
from Broom Hall Farm who has been on the holding since 1967.
Mr Gratton had been extremely careful with his machinery which was all in excellent condition and
the prices achieved and the support given were definitely a reflection of the well-kept kit.
Undoubtedly the stars of the day were the tractors and telehandler with a classic Massey 398
achieving a massive hammer price of £22,000.

  Undoubtedly the classic Massey Ferguson 398 which had received a paint job approximately 6

  £22,000.
