Machinery Auction, Popefield, Athy, Co.Kildare
The scene at Popefield, Athy on Saturday the 27th March was one reminiscent of days long gone as Jordan Auctioneers, Newbridge auctioned the entire machinery contents of the Hyland Estate, Popefield, Athy, Co.Kildare.
A huge crowd turned up to the auction where Jordans successfully sold all the items with purchasers from all ends of the country arriving on the day.
The machinery was advertised with no reserve on the day and this helped create considerable additional interest in addition to the fact the all items had been well maintained and looked after.
Some of the items included a 2004 Case Tractor which sold for €25k, 2009 Case Tractor €27k, 3 sod Overum plough €4.250k, Massey Ferguson 135 €4.250k, Volkswagen Passet 2006 €10k.
It is understood the farm will be going for sale this summer and it likely to generate strong interest as the quality of the land and the acreage involved is rarely offered in this area. Full details to follow.
