THERE was a record turnover of just short of £1,000,000 at Lawrie and Symington's March sale of tractors and machinery at Lanark, aided by the inclusion of the dispersal of contractor equipment on behalf of PB Agricultural Services.

With a large attendance of buyers from all over the UK, Ireland and Europe, a strong trade prevailed throughout as the main sale peaked at £22,800 for a 58-plate Claas Arion 640

It was, however, the PG Agricultural Services deispersal that proved the star attraction and with machinery offered in excellent condition, it was a 16-plate Claas 850 Jaguar chopper that topped the trade at £125,000, followed at £112,000 for a 17-plate Fendt 724 Vario.
