Agricultural machinery auctioneers Cheffins will conduct a live onsite auction on behalf of UK based Bromell Contractors Ltd, who are retiring after a lifetime of farming and contracting. Twins John and Jay Bromell, who are now in their 70s, have spent several decades building up a sizable contracting business from their base in Warwickshire. Included in the auction is an impressive fleet of tractors and combines, along with a large selection of grassland and arable implements.

The tractor line-up is dominated by John Deere, with nine of the 11 tractors featuring the green and yellow livery. The most recent addition to the fleet is a 2022 Massey Ferguson 8S.225. The newest John Deere is a 2020 6215R, with a further two 2019 tractors of the same model. Cheffins say there is expected to be high interest in some older examples including two 2010 John Deere 7530s and a 2010 John Deere 6930.

The full catalogue can be found on the Cheffins website with the sale starting at 9:30am on Wednesday 3 April in Rugby, Warwickshire. A viewing day will be held on Tuesday 2 April between 10am and 4pm.

Bill King, Charmain at Cheffins, says: “Sales that feature a wide range of well looked after modern machinery, such as this, don’t come along very often. John and Jay have had a hugely successful farming career and the range of machinery on offer is testament to their continual investment to grow the business and keep pace with the latest technology.”
