After over five decades in the farm machinery industry, Ray Bunch of Ray Bunch Machinery has announced his retirement, marking the end of an era for the Warwick community. At 12 Lyons Street, Ray Bunch Machinery has been a cornerstone of the region’s agricultural landscape. 

Ray’s career spans approximately 54 years, including 38 years working with Mr. David Evans and 16 years running his own business.

Despite efforts to sell the company, Ray has decided to close the doors permanently on June 30. To mark the occasion and clear the yard, a major Clearing Sale will be held on Saturday, 7th June, starting at 9:00 AM.

The auction, managed by Stuart Bond Real Estate Pty Ltd, will feature the full contents of the yard. Items up for auction include a wide range of farm machinery, tractors, planting and harvesting equipment, spraying gear, tanks, spreaders, grain handling tools, and slasher equipment, among many other items. 

This is a significant opportunity for local farmers and machinery enthusiasts to acquire well-maintained agricultural equipment, with everything in the yard available on sale day.
Ray has extended his heartfelt thanks to his family, friends, and loyal customers who have supported him throughout his journey— during his early years “up on the hill” and more recently at Lyons Street. 

Anyone interested in the sale or looking to inquire about remaining stock is encouraged to contact the auctioneers, Stuart Bond (0419 677 775) or Dean Fagg (0412 809 544).
