IT was a positive result at the conclusion of the Nutrien Ag Solutions on farm clearing sale last week at Three Springs on behalf of Justin and Sulwyn Mutter.
A total of more than $768,400 was paid out for their used machinery, plant equipment and sundry items.
Nutrien Ag Solutions auctioneer Craig Walker, Geraldton, conducted the sale with the top-selling item being a Case IH Patriot 4430 SP sprayer, which sold for $204,000.
It had been advertised with 3604 hours on the clock, a 120 foot boom, a 6000 litre tank, and came with two sets of tyres.
More than 200 attended the sale and braved the windy conditions and the threatening rainfall, which held out until the very last items were sold.
Mr Walker didn't mess around during the sale, which was over in a little more than three hours.
He said the items were well-presented and despite a few lots being passed in at the time, everything had sold for a total clearance.
"It was a good sale," Mr Walker said.
"There was a lot of interest and the owners did a fantastic job at presenting the items."
The second highest price on the day was paid for a 2008 Case IH 8120 axial-flow header with duals on the front.
