Komatsu, Zetor and Merlo distributor McHale Plant Sales is to host a reserved auction of used tractors, plant and machinery at its headquarters in Birdhill on Tuesday 20 May.

With very competitive sellers and buyers fees modelled on the lines of well established international practice, some 100+ lots will go under the hammer in what McHale Managing Director, Michael McHale, says "should be the largest event of its kind ever held in the Mid West".

Beginning at 11am, the range of items being put up for sale will include farm machinery and construction plant including a wide range of tractors, excavators, wheel loaders, telescopic handlers, road vehicles and many other items of farm equipment and miscellaneous parts/attachments. All lots will be set aside for viewing on the day prior to the event and from 8am on the morning of the auction.


Conducting proceedings will be well-known Cork auctioneer Denis Barrett, a man experienced in machinery sales. Bids will be taken from those present as well as online. To help access international bidders, the event will be streamed worldwide via the www.i-bidder.com portal.

To facilitate buyers and those wishing to enter items for sale, a dedicated website www.mchaleauctions.com has been set up on which auction items can be viewed and regulations relating to the event are explained.
