I'm not surprised it was that much, paper gets very heavy when you have a lot of it.

And yes I was thinking of a large (or several) wooden packing crates that can be moved as a pallet, there are companies out there that can do this, but I imagine it would be very expensive to do, as it would take a long time for them to pack all the items properly.

Typically it costs over $100 to ship a single O&R tool across to the UK.

Postage is the killer when getting O&R stuff to the UK !

Well done, that will be a nice addition to your collection !

Good sale overall and got a few bits myself.

yanmar didn’t sell at £1400

mayfield I think was £20

Howard rotovator £280 

Massey Ferguson industrial was £900

Thanks Harry

First Ardingly Collective sale of the year today

A few vintage bits plus a nice Mercedes Unimog on towing duties

I didn't stay long so no prices, Harry and his dad were driving in as I drove out so perhaps he has some price details ?

Its an Allman sprayer, which would be wheeled across the field you wished to treat, the chemicals would be pumped out through the nozzles on the spray bars on the front of the machine

Advert arrived today as well...

Just to let you all know the very sad news that Chris and Pam Suttons beloved Patterdale Terrier Lily passed away yesterday.

She went to sleep in her favourite chair and did not wake up.

I have just spoken to Chris and as you can imagine he is very upset

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes as I'll miss my little mate

R.I.P. Lily...

Seriously, very impressive collection! (and a very nice shed).

No the vacuum is outside the shed as it has the wrong power plant lol

You might as well incorporate as a museum for tax purposes, at this point you probably have more Horticultural history than many museums. Very nice collection

Museum ?  Yep, all part of the long term future plan
