Going, Going, Gone

The Irelands, Arnolds Keys Team were out in force at the recent farm machinery auction, held at Spring Farm in Felthorpe. 600 lots of farm machinery and equipment went under the hammer on Thursday 9 March for Oli and Hannah Arnold who were disposing of surplus items of equipment from their agricultural contracting business.

The team were blessed with a lovely day which encouraged enthusiastic bidding from the assembled audience. Whilst not all items on offer were sold, at the end of the day the sale raised a total of £170,000. 

Items of particular interest were:
