About

At first glance, it might look like we sell quality new and used machinery to farmers, contractors and construction businesses all over the country. And we do. But that’s really just the tip of the iceberg. Since 1948, we’ve been helping farmers prepare their land and harvest their crops; raise their livestock, manage feed and handle effluent. At the same time, we’ve also been helping commercial operators create the infrastructure which drives New Zealand, and helping Kiwis develop and maintain rural and semi-rural properties all around the country. We’re at our best when we work in partnership with our customers, offering a service which extends well beyond the showroom floor. Our sales teams go to great lengths to understand the unique needs of each customer, drawing on a wide portfolio of the world’s leading brands to deliver solutions which add genuine value. From there, our after-sales teams provide ongoing service, support and advice, using the tried-and-true and cutting-edge technology to maximise the lifetime value of our products. We understand the ‘lay of the land’ – both in an environmental sense, and a commercial one – and are constantly on the lookout for innovative new ways to ensure our customers stay ahead of the curve. That forms the foundation for the types of relationships which are the backbone of life in rural New Zealand. Relationships which are proven in the field and passed down from generation to generation. We’ve been keeping New Zealand moving for more than 70 years now. And we intend to keep doing it for many years to come.
