The first sale of 2019 saw a Winter sale of over 1,300 lots go under the hammer with the top call of £5,100 given for the first of 4 new Agricultural sheds in kit form on behalf of one Westcountry outlet.
As signs of Spring appeared, our March sale was massive with 12 tractors sold seeing the best reach £11,100 for the New Holland (12,000hrs) with the L reg Massey close up at £10,900 and going off to its new home on Exmoor.
Also in early Spring the Kivells team travelled to Winkleigh Airdrome for the dispersal of goods from D&S Supplies which attracted buyers on site and by phone from as far afield as Falmouth and Bristol. Top call of the day hit £4,400 for the best of 3 forklift trucks with a massive amount of furniture and goods peaking at £220.
Next up was the dispersal sale of farm machinery on behalf of Richard Symons which was conducted on his farm at Horwood near Bideford in North Devon. Despite the torrential rain, a big crowd was in attendance and pushed the best of a superb line up of John Deere tractors to a huge £72,000 with others at £43,200 from the same good home. The best of the farm machinery hit £12,500 with a hedge trimmer at £14,500 and the Keenan feeder at £5,450 going off to the North Cornwall coast.
Next we had the dispersal of farm machinery at Duloe, South Cornwall for the sale on behalf of life time Kivells customers Messrs Bray-Rounsevell which saw the best tractor at £11,800 whilst the selection of trailers raced to £3,950 for the 10 year old Marshall.
It was then straight on to Lenton farm, Umberleigh in North Devon with the Cook family which saw a massive crowd witness the best of the John Deere tractors reach £41,000 with the ’60 plate 5070M travelling off to Wiltshire at £17,000.
The April collective machinery auction at Holsworthy saw the headline of “£15,000 for a ’56 plate Landini tractor” whilst the sale of forestry equipment up from Mid Cornwall powered away to £7,700 for the Massey Ferguson 1200 log tractor on behalf of Messrs Luxton. A huge 722 lots of non-vat goods enjoyed a tremendous trade with the highlight being the J reg Mini Cooper up from Plymouth which sped away to £4,800!
In late April the team travelled to Truro for the dispersal on behalf of the Late Harold Semmens. Massive support locally resulted in a full car park field and a top call of the day being £15,500 for the Isuzu pick up and the pick of the Massey Ferguson tractors at £11,800 for the 399 with horse stable gates to £2,700 and a mass of cattle barrier feeders to a top of £160 each.
As the Summer weather set in there was a lift in trade for tractors with the pick of an entry of 10 hitting £15,200 for Messrs Hammett of Morchard Bishop and the John Deere 6320 up from Newquay in Cornwall at £13,200. It was a pleasure to sell an entry of 100 field gates on behalf of Devon County Council to £160.
One of the highlights of 2019 was the June sale which attracted one of the biggest crowds ever seen at Holsworthy Market. Top of the sale was the 1949 Series 1 Landrover which itself attracted over 41,000 views on the Kivells website and raced away to a spectacular £25,500 following a bidding war between 4 phone bidders, 2 commission bidders and 7 active bidders in the yard. On the same day, the best of over 2,000 lots reached £16,000 for the New Holland 8870.
In July, our sale included the very smart 3tn digger from Mid Devon which reached £7,300 with the ‘rare’ John Deere 4440 for Roger Passmore of Barnstaple pushing on to £4,400.
Into August and the collective at Holsworthy was simply a wonderful day. No less than 20 tractors sold to a top call of £11,000 whilst a tremendous line up of machinery hit a high of £4,000.
Late Summer, and it was the time for the Honiton Hill Rally sale. Baked in sunshine over 1,000 potential customers saw the very special Massey tractor sell at £3,800 for Norman Richards of South Molton on a day where Kivells sold goods from families in 6 different Counties.
As September started, the Autumn sale at Holsworthy attracted a huge entry and topped at £8,600 for the dumper truck with other highlights being the 2010 Volvo car at £4,500 and the 2wd quad bike hitting £3,700.
A very special ‘Massey Day’ in October saw a big crowd of buyers following the 5 Auctioneers selling on the day. Top call on the day stood at £27,000 with the very smart Gator direct from Exmoor hitting £5,000. A sale which included vehicles from ‘yesteryear’ saw the L reg Subaru Brat hit £1,200 and the very old Austin reach £400.
In the height of the Summer the machinery team went to Higher Basil on the edge of Bodmin Moor to conduct the sale of machinery on behalf of Andrew Ham which topped at £5,800 for the Vintage Ford 4600. Lucas straw chopper hit £4,250 and trailers to £2,350. A great day in a wonderful part of the countryside.
A Winter set in November attracted over 1,000 lots with the New Holland tractor up from Mid Cornwall to £19,000 whilst the swing shovel from a dispersal on the edge of Torridge sold ‘as it stood with no warrantee’ at £7,500.
The Vintage sale of tractors, cars & memorabilia at the Milky Way, situated on the North Coast of Devon included the 1936 Austin Ruby car which went off to Cullompton at £2,100.
The following week the Kivells team travelled to Langtree to disperse the goods from the Green Dragon Public House. A big crowd purchased all lots from the comfort of the dining room with the very best lots over £3,000.
The year came to a close with the December sale at Holsworthy seeing a big crowd in attendance with the best to £15,000 for the Landini tractor in from Messrs Blewett of Bude, Cornwall.
