Find Leading Agricultural Machinery & Equipment Auctions

Farm machinery and equipment auctions remain one of the most cost-effective ways for UK farmers, contractors and landowners to buy and sell high-quality agricultural assets. Whether you’re upgrading machinery, expanding operations or seeking used farm equipment at competitive prices, farm machinery auctions and farm equipment auctions offer access to trusted sellers and a constantly changing range of stock.

From tractors and trailers to milking parlours and forestry equipment, Auction News connects you with leading agricultural auctioneers and hundreds of upcoming sales across the UK.

 

Explore Farming & Agriculture Auctions by Category

To help you find exactly what you need, we’ve organised our farming auctions into four specialist sub-categories:

Agricultural

Our Agricultural Auctions section covers everything from cultivation and harvesting equipment to irrigation systems, grain storage and general farm tools. Whether you’re looking for used ploughs, balers, drills or telehandlers, you’ll find a variety of machinery from both dispersal and regular trade auctions.
Many of these auctions feature equipment from farms upgrading or restructuring operations, giving buyers a chance to secure reliable machinery at a fraction of the new cost.

 

Dairy & Livestock Equipment

Specialist Dairy & Livestock Equipment Auctions include everything required for efficient animal management — from milking parlour systems and cooling tanks to feeding and handling equipment. You’ll often find lots such as crushes, feeders, cubicles, water troughs and refrigeration units.
These sales are ideal for dairy and mixed farms looking to upgrade facilities or diversify operations. With used dairy and livestock gear readily available, buyers can make smart investments without paying full retail prices.

 

Groundcare & Forestry

Our Groundcare & Forestry Auctions feature compact tractors, ride-on mowers, chainsaws, log splitters, stump grinders and forestry machinery. These sales cater not only to farmers but also to landscape contractors, local councils and estate managers maintaining large grounds.
From smallholdings to forestry enterprises, buyers can source everything from arborist tools to larger equipment like wood chippers and sawmills — all through trusted auction houses.

 

Tractors & Trailers

The Tractors & Trailers section remains one of the most popular areas of our farming auctions. Expect to find modern and vintage tractors, bale trailers, tippers and low loaders, alongside a wide range of agricultural transport solutions.
From classic Massey Ferguson and Ford models to late-generation John Deere or New Holland machines, tractor auctions regularly attract strong interest from both professional users and collectors.
