Full up North

Cheffins' annual collective Harrogate Vintage Sale has this year beaten all records in terms of quality and number of lots.

With over 170 vintage and classic tractors and over 950 lots of tractor spares, bygones and implements going under the hammer, we are set for a very exciting sale.

The main backbone of the sale is the fantastic entry of over 20 tractors from the Gary Entwistle Collection. As one of the countries leading collectors of ultra low houred original and superbly restored tractors we were privileged to consign a proportion of his very impressive collection. The highlights include a 1995 Case IH 5150 Powershift with a massive 39 hours on the clock (a typical example could have over 10,000 recorded hours), a 2010 Case IH 140 Maxxum with another mammoth 14 hours showing, a super sharp 1992 Ford 3930 with a Howard FX-10 front loader with 355 hours and a very bright 1993 Massey Ferguson 230 with a paltry 1,197 hours showing. There is also a selection of beautifully restored examples headed by one of Gary’s very own, a 1958 Nuffield Universal Four, which is arguably one of the finest restored examples to come to the market.  There is also a 1968 Massey Ferguson 135 with 1,150 hours, being sourced originally from a market garden. With too many quality tractors to mention from his collection its well worth a look at our detailed on-line catalogue click here. Gary has also entered a large quantity of tractor spares, which includes some real hard to find lots and are well worth studying.

The sale also boasts some other exceptional tractors with a ready made collection going under the hammer, offering 5 well restored Fords a 7000, 5000, 4000, 3000 and a 2000 that are available as one lot!  If they however do not meet their reserve then they will be offered individually. There is also a Fordson Model F, two Field Marshall’s a Series II and III, a Massey Ferguson 230 with 200 hours on the clock and a stunningly restored Massey Ferguson 135 by Trevor Chippendale. There are also some unusual tractors with a military Ferguson TED-20, a Mercer Case LA crane tractor and a Fordson Standard N trencher tractor.

A fantastic sale that will present quite a spectacle, well worth attending and the Great Yorkshire Showground has some fantastic facilities with nearly all the lots sold undercover! The online catalogue is available at cheffins.co.uk or printed catalogues are available for £7 by post on 01223 213 777.
