Dan.gerous 2,696 #1 Posted June 25, 2021 While looking for a crop sprayer for sale, I happened apon this old girl in the "unsold lots" section of Cheffins auction house. £1100 GBP is the price. Anyone seen one of these before? I dont want it personally, but its always nice to share with the group! 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,831 #3 Posted June 25, 2021 Never seen one, but why would it be unsold? Reserve price not met? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It had a reserve and can be brought for that price now, guess nobody wanted it - there are a couple of Porsches in the background also unsold. From what little information that is around its German, 1948-52 vintage with a V twin diesel engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ranger 1,748 #8 Posted June 25, 2021 Whilst on the Cheffins website did you notice the C125 Wheelhorse complete with front end loader that sold for £1200.00? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a look at it on Sunday, the hydraulic pump has a leak, but it looked quite well built. I started the bidding at £500.00, but then it went straight to the £1200.00 reserve.

Never actually thought about searching for wheelhorses on the auction sites, I tend to just be looking at farming machinery. Another project (add it to the ten mile long list) is to buy an old Self propelled sprayer, cut everything off the back, chuck a Hiab on it and use it as a fencing/maintenance vehicle around the farm - I just missed one on Ebay and have been intrigued ever since...see pics. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 1,748 #13 Posted June 26, 2021 I remember looking at one years ago, it had a rear platform for mounting various implements, sprayers, spreaders, etc. It had a ford 1.6 diesel engine and front wheel drive gearbox mounted longitudinally, coupled to Land Rover axles. I can’t remember if they were both front axles to give 4WS. Doug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the landrover based units, would be much easier to source parts than the one pictured as that has an Italian axle that is no longer made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 1,748 #15 Posted June 26, 2021 I believe older Toyota Hilux pickups are quite popular amongst the farming fraternity, re-registered as “agricultural vehicles”, modified with big wheels and tyres, rear platforms and most importantly, able to legally burn “Cherryade”, (red diesel). Mind you, the amount of “Red” that goes missing out here in the fens, suggests that the legal/illegal aspect of using it in road vehicles is ignored by certain sections of the community!
