2020 was certainly a very different year for machinery sales throughout the UK with the effects of Covid-19 hitting the

auction calendar hard.

That said, a total of 29 auctions of machinery were conducted by Kivells Ltd,

online, on farms, and at both Holsworthy and Exeter Auction Centres.

The season kicked off at both centres in early February 2020. First up was Holsworthy where the team saw a huge crowd of customers in attendance from as far afield as Wales, Dorset, Wiltshire and Bristol. Topping the 7 tractors sold on the day was the P reg John Deere tractor sold by the Hamlyn family who farmed on the edge of Dartmoor hitting £10,200 with the John Deere gator being the highlight of the day reaching £9,500 and going home with the May family from Instow on the North Devon coast.

* Photo above taken at the March Monthly Machinery Sale at Holsworthy Market. As we moved into Spring one of the biggest entries of machinery ever seen at Holsworthy took place on Saturday 7th March 2020. Buyers from everywhere were in attendance and pushed the best tractor to £20,200 for the New Holland which was driven to the sale from just outside Truro in Mid Cornwall and sold by Antony Eames. The Hitachi Swing Shovel came up from Newquay and sold to £13,500 going off to its new home in Shaftsbury. This sale included the dispersal of one private forestry business from St Neot in South East Cornwall. The best of the 5 tractors from this clearance was the County 1174 c/w log crane which reached £8,900 with the 2nd County tractor at £7,200. Who would have ever thought that every farm machinery sale in the UK would stop due to Covid-19 following this sale!

It was great to be back at Holsworthy Market in early July and with strict Covid-19 regulations in place our monthly sale of machinery saw such a large entry that the Directors of Kivells decided to have a 2 day sale. Day 1 included 547 lots of machinery which hit £18,000 for the Claas handler in from Launceston in Cornwall and went off to Northlew in West Devon. A big entry of 17 tractors saw a top call of £6,800 for the Massey Ferguson in from Will Jennings of Beaford closely followed by the P reg Case at £5,000. The dispersal of tractors and equipment from loyal Kivells supporters Messrs Martin of Yarnscombe saw big support from neighbours and friends. Their dispersal included tractors which were all ‘sold as seen’ and saw the Renault (non-runner) pull away to £2,200 with the AGT Estate tractor at £2,500. The Martin family also sold a large consignment of sheep handling equipment which saw a top call of £480 for a mobile shearing unit.

The 2nd July sale at Holsworthy saw a welcome return to our Pig & Poultry ‘Smallholders’ auctions which regularly attracted entries of over 500 head from farms and holdings throughout the West country. Added to this was the 2nd sale of the month of tractors and machinery which attracted 927 lots and recorded a top call of £6,000 given for the 2001 Landrover Defender on behalf of Messrs Bowden of Bideford and went off to its new home near Truro. The Driscoll family went back home to Camelford in Cornwall delighted, after selling their Siromer compact tractor at £4,650 against a guide of £3,000. A large line up of trailers reached £2,200 for the stock box going off to the Quantock Hills in Somerset whilst a huge consignment of building materials from one company in Okehampton saw a top call of £460 for a quantity of roofing sheets and plenty of piles of decking between £280-£340.

As Summer started to come to an end, the Kivells team of Exeter conducted the dispersal of tractors and machinery for the Kittow family of Silverton in Mid Devon. Top of the day was £21,800 for the Case 185 tractor with the pick of the trailers reaching £15,500 on a day where the rain just empted down but trade remained high from start to finish.

As September came so did the busy line up of dispersal sales throughout the South West of England. The wonderful dispersal on behalf of Messrs Dayment & Skelton, Agricultural Engineers of Totnes on the South Devon coast attracted a huge crowd of buyers who pushed the best of 1100 lots to £26,000 for the Claas tractor and £22,000 given for the John Deere. A smart line up of machinery came from the same vendor and hit £9,700 for the Field Marshall dung spreader whilst the clearance on behalf of Leonard Earle on the same day reached £30,500 for the Case 1154 and £28,400 for the Case Maxxium. This certainly was the sale of the year in that part of the West country.

Back up at Holsworthy a total entry of 1291 lots included the C reg Case tractor on behalf of Phil Skelly of Plymouth reach £7,500 whilst the main attraction of the day was the dispersal of a smallholding from North Cornwall (Kivells having sold the farm) which attracted huge interest with bidders in the yard, placing commission bids and bidding on the phone. The top call from this dispersal was £5,900 for the Zetor tractor (as seen) which went off to Somerset whilst at the same sale the dispersal from an 8 acre smallholding near Bradworthy topped

at £4,000 for the 2016 Suzuki quad bike with regular Kivells cattle vendor Will Prouse of Torrington going home happy after selling his Kubota 4x4 mule (11 plate) well at £5,000.

It was then time for the Kivells team to travel down to Lostwithiel in South Cornwall for one of their most successful sales of the year. After a lifetime of farming beef, sheep and arable Messrs Hoskins made the decision to disperse their livestock and equipment and cease farming. Bathed in Autumn sunshine a wonderful line up of New Holland tractors

attracted huge interest both from private farmers to international dealerships. Top call on the day was £43,000 with other tractors at £23,600, £21,500 and £18,000. Amongst the equipment was the wonderful Bateman mobile cattle race that following somewhat of a bidding war went up to Camelford at £8,400. The sale also saw the 1st sale of fodder of the season with 450 round bales of hay and haylage realising over £6,400.

As the winter months came ever closer it was off to St Tudy near Wadebridge for the dispersal of machinery for Messrs WP & TD Harris.

A good crowd of buyers who were there to conduct business pushed the best of the tractors to £37,700 for the John Deere 6125R going off to its new home near Padstow, closely followed by the John Deere 6630 at £26,400.

The team travelled to Whiteleigh Farm on the Devon and Cornwall border near Whitstone to disperse the machinery for John Uglow and family following Kivells having sold the 300 acre farm and the herd of milking cows.

Despite the torrential rain on the day, an active crowd of buyers pushed the John Deere tractor (9,050 hrs) to £20,000 going off to Taunton in Somerset. Amongst the livestock equipment, the Hydraulic foot trimming crush hit £4,700 with plenty of other lots between £2,000 - £3,000.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, our November sale of machinery was an online sale. Certainly our most successful online sale of the year attracting bidders from as far afield as Ballymoney in Northern Ireland, Alford in Lincolnshire, Newport in Wales and Thirsk in Yorkshire. A clearance of 87% was fantastic with a top call of £7,500 given for the Ford 7710 from a farm near Whiddon Down and going off to its new home in Chippenham, Wiltshire. The Massey Ferguson 690 tractor went down to Mid Cornwall at £6,750 whilst the pick of the dispersal from Ron Harris of North Cornwall was the Hudson livestock trailer which hit £2,600 going off to Luxulyan near Bodmin with John Voakes.

The best of a wonderful run of Valtra tractors saw a top call of £70,000 for the T1740 SmartTouch whilst the N1740 SmartTouch hit £65,000 and went off to a farmer in Kent.

The best of a fine line up of modern machinery saw the best of the slurry tankers to £9,600 going down to Wadebridge in Mid Cornwall with the pick of the harvesting equipment at £9,000 for the Kuhn mower travelling to Dartmoor.

The year of machinery sales concluded with the collective sale at Exeter with a top call of £18,500 for a very smart Kubota tractor up from South Devon with the best of a dispersal of vintage tractors reaching £8,000 for the John Deere 830.

LOOKING AHEAD

It really has been a memorable year for all sorts of reasons. Even with the challenges that arose during 2020, very much to include the restrictions linked to Covid-19, the machinery team at Kivells enjoyed a highly successful year for their clients and look forward to an even better 2021. Despite the challenges that may still lie ahead, our team of professional and enthusiastic Auctioneers will ensure that selling machinery with Kivells will continue to be the right and easiest way for our customers. Since 1885 Kivells has evolved into a multi-disciplined practice offering a full and wide range of services from our network of offices and auction centres throughout the South West.
