Keeping landscapes, estates and woodland in top condition requires specialist machinery — and buying at groundcare and forestry equipment auctions is one of the most cost-effective ways to access it. Whether you’re a professional contractor, estate manager or smallholder, these auctions offer everything from ride-on mowers and wood chippers to forestry mulchers, stump grinders and ATVs, all at competitive prices.

What’s Included in Groundcare & Forestry Equipment Auctions

This category brings together a wide variety of machinery and tools used in landscaping, estate management, forestry and tree surgery. You’ll often find both modern and traditional equipment suitable for small and large-scale operations.

Typical assets include:

  • Groundcare machinery – sit-on lawn mowers, ride-on mowers, turf cutters, aerators, hedge trimmers and brush cutters.

  • Forestry equipment – log splitters, saw benches, timber winches, portable sawmills, forestry mulchers, and used forestry machinery for sale from leading brands like Timberwolf, Jensen and Först.

  • Wood processing equipment – used tree chippers, shredders and wood chippers for sale, often ex-hire or council-owned units in excellent working order.

  • ATVs and utility vehicles – a popular highlight of many sales, featuring ATV auctions, quad bike auctions and compact 4x4s used for towing or transporting equipment across estates and farms.

  • Accessories and attachments – logging tools, trailers, sprayers, chainsaws, fuel bowsers and PPE for forestry and landscaping work.

Some auctions focus on single-site dispersals from landscaping firms or councils renewing their machinery, while others include part-exchange or surplus stock from main dealers.

 

Who Buys at Groundcare & Forestry Equipment Auctions

This category attracts a broad mix of buyers, including:

  • Landscaping contractors and tree surgeons looking to expand or replace machinery at lower cost.

  • Farmers and estate managers seeking reliable groundcare and ATV equipment for everyday maintenance.

  • Local authorities and grounds maintenance companies sourcing quality used machines for parks and sports facilities.

  • Private buyers and smallholders searching for compact, affordable machinery to maintain private land or woodland.

  • Machinery traders and resellers who purchase surplus or end-of-lease stock to refurbish and resell.

With trusted auctioneers managing the process, buyers gain access to an impressive selection of both modern and well-maintained second-hand equipment — often at a fraction of retail prices.
