Monthly Auctions for Agricultural Equipment

McCartneys hold regular collective plant and machinery sales at their purpose built sale site at The Beech, Little Hereford, Ludlow, Shropshire, SY8 4BG.

Sales consist of a large amount of agricultural machinery, implements, trailers, small tools, live poultry and poultry equipment.

All of this is held in The Beech sale field with a hard-core area for small tools and covered poultry sale building with purpose-built pens, together with the general purpose storage building, allowing entries to be taken up to one month in advance of the next sale and loading facilities are available.

The sales regularly attract a large crowd of buyers from the local area and further afield with excellent transport links to the rest of the UK and transport can be arranged.

Payment is guaranteed within one week of the sale with favourable commission rates compared to other sale centres.
