Cheffins Cambridge Monthly Machinery Sale is a recurring equipment auction held at the Sutton saleground near Ely. The Cambridge name does not mean that inspection and collection take place in central Cambridge. The market serves farmers, dealers and overseas buyers looking for used machinery. Its practical role is to bring numerous individual machines into one sale, allowing price comparisons to be related to actual condition, specification and the history of each item.

The operator reports £31,797,431 in monthly machinery sales at Sutton during 2025, compared with £33,990,070 in 2024. The comparison excludes on-farm dispersal auctions held elsewhere in the country. It therefore does not represent total Cheffins company turnover or the entire machinery sector. Keeping that boundary clear makes the figures useful for understanding this recurring marketplace without combining it with occasional sales at other locations.

The range includes tractors, telehandlers, cultivators, combines and other agricultural machines, alongside horticultural equipment and selected vehicles and construction plant. Buyers should consult the catalogue for the particular date because categories and quantities vary. Sellers can submit equipment through the operator's entry process. Before delivering a machine, agree receiving arrangements, its equipment description, identifying number and the documents that should accompany it.

Cheffins publishes selected results and sale stories. A realised amount depends on age, hours, equipment and condition. Establish whether a published number is a hammer price or includes commission and taxes before using it as a purchasing benchmark. Two machines carrying the same model designation can have substantially different remaining working lives and repair requirements.

Buyers should arrange an inspection or appoint someone familiar with the equipment. Useful evidence includes photographs of the serial number, hour meter, tyres, hydraulic connections and attachments, together with confirmation of whether the machine can be started. Add haulage, loading and any export preparation to the budget. Sellers benefit from clearly identifying defects and all included attachments, rather than leaving their inclusion uncertain. The particular auction's conditions should settle registration, payment and collection deadlines before bidding. A comparison based on the complete cost of putting the machine into service is more informative than the auction price alone.
