A series of desirable modern classic tractors are set to lead the next Cheffins Vintage sale on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th July.
A 1980 Schulter Super tractor holds the highest estimate in the auction at £90,000 - £100,000. Having been sourced by marque expert Stefan Had in Bavaria, this German example is set to draw interest from European collectors and has the potential to set the bar in terms of values for this particular tractor type.
