Bord Na Mona Auction Prices

Friend bought a high nelly at a bnm auction a few years ago €20. Delighted with himself

Turned out It wasnt a high nelly bike though.
 
Another Bord Na Mona auction in June, seems to be a lot more bigger fresher tractors this time


 
It doesn't look like they ever did any maintaining
😏
Well not according to Shane : :rolleyes::rolleyes:

extract from above link.

“Mechanically well maintained​

Although most of the tractors look worse for wear, Shane Egan, maintenance and machinery programme manager at the site, points out that they have been well looked after mechanically.

“We tend to over-maintain our machines; there is a three-month period when we are cutting peat and half of that we may be held up by the weather. So they often get a winter service well before they are due,” he said.
His words are supported by the low hours being shown on many dashboards.”
 
Those 135's on rail wheels are an oddity!
Thinking about it they can't be hard worked as youd need to be steady away to get any grip for pushing and pulling on steel wheels!
 
Prices looking strong at yesterday's auction, particularly when you add vat and commission.

very strong but the stuff was much better than previous sales, what was so special about the teva bog machine ? it looked like a very big set of tracks with an engine and a cab but it made 48k. are private bogs allowed to keep milling turf as all the specialised machinery made big money and it wouldn,t have a use anywhere only on a bog

They must be for export market i would have thought. Recently heard of new turf machines that are manufactured in tyrone being exported to Africa.
 

Things are getting newer, will this be the last one of is there more out back?
9 6830s listed. You'd think they'd have all the same ones listed together.
