Based near Preston, Lancashire, Baybutt Holdings Ltd is one of the UK’s leading salad producers, with its produce sold at major supermarkets throughout the country. The company has recently taken the decision to review its fleet of tractors and machinery and has instructed Cheffins to sell the surplus stock via its highly successful timed online format.
Oliver Godfrey, Head of the Machinery Department at Cheffins comments:
“With a good selection of well-maintained tractors and machinery coupled with classic interest, we expect strong participation from farmers and collectors across the Northern Counties, throughout the UK and overseas. Our online timed sales have become a staple auction format for many clients, providing a quick, straightforward and hassle-free way to renew fleets, liquidate assets and clear yards, all from the convenience of their own farm.”
“This sale is set to kick-start the market for 2026, offering a standout selection of well-maintained and desirable agricultural machinery and presenting an excellent opportunity for local farmers to update their fleets quickly and efficiently. Classic tractor collectors will also find plenty of interest among the lots on offer.”
Jamie Baybutt from Baybutt Holdings comments: “We have taken the decision to refresh our machinery fleet this year and make space in the yard for new kit. While we are retaining some of my late father’s classic tractor collection, we have decided to sell some of the pieces which have not yet been restored. As the leading auctioneer in the agricultural machinery business, we were confident that Cheffins would be the best company to assist us in disposing of our surplus machinery.”
Oliver Godfrey continues: “The machinery market remained resilient throughout last year, with record sales achieved at Cheffins despite ongoing political uncertainty. A strong calendar of sales across the country during 2025 brought high-quality machinery to market, much of which was snapped up by UK-based farmers and contractors who turned to auction as a cost-effective way to secure better-quality equipment at a fraction of the cost of buying new.”
The sale will take place online from 22nd January until 5th February here
