Two more major dealerships – West Mid Tractors in Shropshire and Uphill & Son in Somerset –have been appointed to market the Deutz-Fahr tractor range.
Same Deutz-Fahr UK’s chief executive, Mark Casement, said he was delighted to welcome two more, well-established dealers to SDF’s network and wished them every success in the coming years.
“While we already offer high-performing, reliable and economical products, we will also bring many new tractor, combine and machinery products to the market over the next year and beyond,” he added. “We have the products to compete strongly with any other brand, so it is important we continue to grow a dealer network in the UK and give customers the chance to experience these products for themselves.”
Mr Casement also said that there were opportunities in many parts of the country where there is not yet adequate dealer coverage, and the aim is to attract more quality dealers to support Same Deutz-Fahr’s growth plans.
Based at Chewton Mendip, Somerset, Uphill & Son has been involved in the agricultural machinery business for more years than its managing director, Robert Uphill, cares to remember.
“I’m the seventh generation,” he said. “And the business has been on the same site since it was started all those years ago.”
News that this established company, which already holds the McCormick franchise, is to market the Deutz-Fahr tractor range has been well received, not only by its customers but also by its staff.
“The Deutz-Fahr tractor range is vast, not only in the broad power band the models provide, but also in the increasing number of tractors available with continuously variable transmissions,” Mr Uphill added. “We cover mid and north Somerset, south Gloucestershire and the west Wiltshire area where there are as many livestock farms as there are arable units. Deutz-Fahr has tractors to meet all our customers’ needs.”
The use of Deutz engines, the modern styling of the tractors and their undoubted reliability had also been major factors in his decision making.
Also taking on the Deutz-Fahr franchise is former Case IH dealer West Mid Tractors, based at Montford Bridge, Shrewsbury.
According to dealer principal Nigel Huntbach, the Deutz-Fahr tractor range, with its broad power spectrum from 65-275hp, was ideal for the company’s customers who farm in the Shropshire and Staffordshire area.
“The farming is very mixed in this area,” he said. “There are large-scale arable enterprises as there are small-scale livestock farms – and vice versa.”
He added that with Deutz-Fahr also offering an ever larger number of tractors with continuously variable transmissions – the TTV models – this too would help to meet the needs of his company’s customers.
“Powered by Deutz engines these tractors clearly offer a level of reliability which is the envy of the industry,” he said. “And for operators, the high degree of comfort the cabs offer make the tractors a delight to drive.”
Mr Huntbach said that the feedback from his customers regarding the new Deutz-Fahr franchise had been very positive.
“We are confident that the quality of the tractors, their reliability and the large number of models and transmission options will find favour with our customers and meet their requirements well,” he said. “Like West Mid Tractors, Deutz-Fahr has many years of experience in the agricultural machinery business and together we make a good team.”
