TRACTORS and trucks were the big-ticket items at a major agricultural clearing sale on Friday.
The major lots sold for up to $48,000 when farming equipment from the estate of Chris Cox went under the hammer at Sylvaterre, between Mitiamo and Pyramid Hill.
But there was also strong interest in other lots where local Peter Reynolds was among successful bidders.
He also had an interest in an old Ford truck that had first belonged to Chris’ father Des.
“I brought the cabin back from Kerang for Des and he took the door off his old truck and attached it to new cabin because it already has his name on it,” Peter said. “And I remember back in the 60s he would then pick up sheep and cattle and take them to market in Bendigo.”
Pyramid Hill Lions Club provided catering at the auction conducted by FP Nevins and Co.
