“The Coles sale was a storming success with six-figure sums paid for a number of the best tractors and equipment on offer,” comments Cheffins director Oliver Godfrey, who adds that buyers were from throughout the UK and Ireland and also mainland Europe.

“The prices paid at the Coles sale demonstrate the lack of good quality, second-hand machinery currently available on the market and the subsequent demand levels from both domestic and overseas buyers.”

KS Coles packhouse equipment including wash lines, grading and packing machinery and forklifts, is being sold in a timed online auction which will finish on October 12.
