There was an exceptional entry of vintage and classic tractors in the bottom shed and was led by an entry of 20 gleaming and straight examples from the TA & N White collection.

Next up was a superbly restored Massey Ferguson 565 and sold well at £7,600, keeping the same colour a 165 in similar condition hit £5,600. Top prices kept coming with a Roadless E1A Major at £5,800, a IH BWD6 at £6,000, David Brown Cropmaster hit £5,100 and a very straight Massey Ferguson 188 with Multi-Power smashed £7,000, this completed a clean sweep for the TA&N Collection and some excellent prices and reflected their hard work and talent.
