Weekly Machinery Market Report

AuctionsPlus machinery listings lifted again over the past week, with 584 lots offered, up 22.2% on the previous period. Clearance eased to 70%, reflecting the jump in supply and a more selective buyer pool. Buyer activity remained steady rather than aggressive, with competition thinner on lower-value items.A total of 406 lots sold, down 3.3% week-on-week. Passed-in lots also lifted to 67, reinforcing that buyers were active but disciplined on value. Bid rate softened to 81%, indicating that while buyers were present, not all listings found competition.

Tractors continued to attract interest. While hay and forage equipment also drew solid attention, with several lots recording strong bidding depth. Average performance varied widely, with some standout results offset by weaker clearance on older or less versatile gear.

Victoria and New South Wales again featured prominently among stronger-performing sales. The top-priced lot for the week was a John Deere 6330 Premium tractor from a vendor in Rosewhite, Vic, and was apart of the AuctionsPlus Multi-Vendor Machinery Auction, selling for $59,000. Interest was measured but consistent, with four bids from two bidders.

On the engagement front, total lot views climbed to 94,000, while bidder logins increased 31.5% to 5,000, suggesting buyers are watching closely and choosing opportunities carefully.
