Excellent tractor mounted grass harrow. Approx working width 6ft. Cat 1 linkage. Ideal for smaller/ compact tractors with linkage – looks good behind the Fergy! Consists of three different types of tines to efficiently work the ground. The front row are the most aggressive to level and rip out the dead thatch, second row are less aggressive and third row are adjustable spring mounted to help leave an even finish. The emphasis can be put on different tines simply by adjusting the top link. We used over the weekend and these work very well. Excellent for rejuvenating grassland, pulling out dead thatch, moss etc, spreading manure and generally improving the quality of the grass. Also brilliant for pulling high spots into lows (where those horses have been over the last few months!) and leveling ground. Very versatile bit of kit, could also be used for harrowing in seed, fertiliser, leveling ménages, driveways, etc, etc. By being mounted, you can work right into the field corners and easily move between fields. In excellent condition and will go straight to work. First two rows of tines have recently been fitted. £350.

Flat roll with cast rings, ideal for use on grassland, paddocks, lawns, playing fields or even ménages etc etc. Perfect for use with compact, smaller hp tractors, 4x4s, Gators, quads etc etc. We have used behind our Fergy and it works well. Approx working width 4ft. Overall width a little more. Made up of 12x 4” cast iron sections, so roll doesn’t scrub when turning, unlike the modern examples. Also, will follow the contours of the ground better than a modern roll (like a Cambridge roll). Approx 22in rings. Good heavy roll. Has an excellent length drawbar. Currently has a clevis drawbar, but would be straight forward to fit a ball hitch to use behind other vehicles. I have used on my grassland, it does a good job of leveling lumps and bumps, particularly in the gateways and rolling in grass seed etc. Also very good for breaking down ploughed land. Has a rear drawbar for towing harrows behind in order to do two jobs in one pass – this is what we did over the weekend, and it worked very well. Roll is in excellent used order and will go straight to work. £285.

This started off life as a heavy duty Lawrence Edwards Flat 8 bale grab that has been modified for handling big bales. 4 rows of tines – full complement of tines. Fitted with Matbro/ John Deere cone and pin brackets, although could easily be altered to fit other teleporters/ loaders. Would be straight forward to revert to revert to handling conventional bales. Would make a very handy back up grab or as an alternative to handling smaller bales by hand. Has not been used for quite some time. Well used in the past and has had various repairs. Requires a further tidy depending on how much it is to be used. I have not tested ram – has been left outside without pipes. Modest starting price – brackets are nearly worth the starting price on their own! £250.

Original Bomford Flailtrim bracket mounted hedge cutter. Was last used harvest 2012 and barn stored since, and was fitted with a full set of new belts prior to this. Looks to be in generally very good order for age. Serial number 3284J. Approx 4ft cut. Flails look to have plenty of life left. Nice simple machine – no complicated hydraulic motors or pumps to go wrong. PTO driven flail head run by belts (nearly new – would have been expensive to replace). Hydraulics run off tractor – either using the spool valves on the tractor ( this is how is has been used previously) or the spool block included in the auction. Hydraulic break-back. Included in the auction is a three leaver spool block (worth start price on its own) and axle mounting brackets for tractor. Bracket mounted but could easily be modified to fit 3 point linkage. Was previously fitted to Leyland 255, so suited to smaller tractors. The width of the mounting points are adjustable to fit other tractors. The drive/ belts all turn over smoothly by hand – should go straight to work. I haven’t used or tested rams/ spool block etc. Would benefit from a little tidy (couple of bolts on guards and one ram mounting point could have another weld). Some pipes may require replacing in the future. £SOLD.

Small rib roll perfect for use with compact, smaller hp tractors, 4x4, 4wd quad, Gator etc etc. We have used behind our Fergy and 12hp garden tractor. Approx working width 4ft. Overall width a little more. Good heavy roll. Approx 22in rings. Perfect for paddocks, grassland or even on ménages. I use this type of roll my grassland and much prefer them to a flat roll, they do a very good job of leveling lumps and bumps, particularly in the gateways and rolling in grass seed etc. Also very good for breaking down ploughed land. Has pin drawbar, but it would be straight forward to add a 50mm ball hitch for use behind other vehicles. Very handy size for contractors or landscape gardeners as can leave hitched to tractor when moving on Ifor Williams type trailer, therefore no need for loader. Has rear drawbar to tow another roll or harrows behind and do two jobs in one pass! By towing two rolls together you get the same effect as rolling the area twice. This is how we use them and they work very well. Roll is in very good used order and will go straight to work (we used over the weekend). Rings have been spaced out as required so hardly any play. Drawbar jaw has some wear. £SOLD.

Lifting frame to fit Merlo teleporter complete with lifting chain. This also doubles up as a headstock for pallet tines (tines not included). Far handier than the pallet tines that come with the teleporter as you can attach and detach/ change attachments without getting out of the cab. A very useful tool around the yard, farm, building site or smallholding. Ideal for a wide variety of jobs including lifting bags of fertiliser, as a mobile crane, lifting and shifting machinery etc etc. Currently fitted with Merlo telehandler brackets, but could easily be altered to fit other handlers/ loaders. Good used condition – doesn’t appear to have had much use, brackets do not appear to have much wear. Is not tested/ does not have a lifting certificate – it is up to the purchaser to satisfy themselves as to fitness for purpose. £POA.

Very handy tool that gives an additional 4m reach on telehandler. SWL 0.75t. Previously used for lifting roof trusses. A very useful tool around the yard, farm, building site or smallholding. Ideal for a wide variety of jobs including lifting bags of fertiliser, mobile crane, lifting and shifting machinery etc etc. Fitted with swivel hook. Currently fitted with Merlo telehandler brackets, but could easily be altered to fit other handlers/ loaders. All galvanized. Appears to be in good solid condition. Used recently. Tubes have some pitting on the inside. Is not tested/ does not have a lifting certificate – it is up to the purchaser to satisfy themselves as to fitness for purpose. £POA.

6ft 8 leg rigid tine cultivator. Believed to have been made from an old trailed Ransomes Cultivator. A very versatile tool. Ideal for ripping up land instead of ploughing, aiding drainage, working ploughed land, land reclamation and clearance, leveling where outdoor pigs/ chickens have been prior to ploughing etc etc. Cat 2 linkage, but could easily be converted to Cat 1. Perfectly capable of doing a job but a little tatty and well used in the past. Some points missing – could be used as is without them, or easily replaced. £SOLD.
