Record prices for crops such as corn, soya beans and wheat have helped to lift the performance of the world's largest maker of agricultural equipment.

Companies producing capital goods, such as industrial machinery, engines and agricultural equipment, said that business was brisk.

Agricultural equipment such as tractors, four-row planters and cultivators, a dry-bean thresher, bags, screen sieves and a 500l fuel trailer with electric motor will also be auctioned.

The troubles started a year after the cinema opened in 2005, in the building where agricultural equipment was once manufactured.

The engineering and metalworking industries manufacture production equipment for various industries, forklift trucks, construction and agricultural equipment, and machinery for municipal services.
