Hobbs Parker conducts agricultural and horticultural machinery auctions and farm-equipment sales, with an organisational base in Ashford, Kent. Its activities include collective sales and dispersals held at farms. The operator describes collective auctions with up to 1,500 lots. This indicates possible single-sale scale, rather than the number of machines sold at every event or annual company turnover. The collection location of an actual machine must be established from its catalogue entry.

The summer 2025 Outlook bulletin reports more than 1,200 lots offered across two March dispersals involving Intercrop and Holborough Shoot LLP. This concerns those two events, not only the Ashford site, and does not establish that every offered lot sold.

The verified public price report concerns Bridge Farm at Bearsted on 13 June 2015. It demonstrates the publication of sale results but is too old to serve as a current valuation of similar machinery. It is also not a report of an auction held in Ashford. Current dates, catalogues and entry forms should be obtained from the operator’s auction service.

Buyers should check make, model, serial number, year, meter readings and available documents. We recommend inspecting mechanical condition and establishing exactly what the lot includes: attachments, parts, manuals and accessories can materially affect its usefulness. A price for a similar machine at another auction does not automatically account for differences in wear or history. Before bidding, calculate the overall expenditure including tax, fees, loading and transport, rather than comparing hammer prices alone.

Sellers should supply an accurate description, photographs, location and information about viewing or demonstrating the equipment. Agree acceptance, any reserve, commission and settlement. Buyers should confirm registration, payment, removal deadlines and access to loading equipment. Large machines also require attention to transport dimensions and access restrictions. The office address provides a contact point but does not mean that every offered item is stored nearby. Each lot needs its own location and sale conditions checked. A useful comparison record links the final price to condition, included equipment and the date, so that an attractive historic result is not mistaken for an available offer today.
