Burdens Group has added Bauer irrigation products to an already comprehensive portfolio of machinery for specialist growers. The company will handle the Bauer irrigator range of hose reels, centre pivots, rains guns and sprinkler booms for customers throughout Lincolnshire, east Nottinghamshire and north Cambridgeshire, as part of an initiative led by specialist crop sales manager Andy Wilson.
“With Andy’s knowledge, experience and the location of our headquarters branch at Sutterton plus branches in North Kyme and Wrangle around Boston, and two additional branches in Louth and Brigg following our acquisition of Lincolnshire Motors, we’re very well placed to supply irrigation equipment throughout the Fens, Lincolnshire and beyond with our usual high standard of parts and service support,” Burdens’ group sales director, Shaun Taylor, said.
“As for having Bauer as our irrigation partner, it was the obvious first choice,” he added. “Bauer equipment generally and the Rainstar irrigation reel in particular, has an enviable reputation for performance and reliability; it’s the leading manufacturer to look for efficient and durable irrigation kit.”
The Bauer appointment comes during a period when the Burdens Group is rejuvenating its presence in the specialist horticulture sector, having successfully handled the transition to the New Holland range of tractors and combines and other agricultural products.
Bauer irrigators complement a comprehensive range of specialist equipment for salad, vegetable and other commercial horticulture crops.
“We are now in a position to supply some of the best irrigation equipment around; it’s heavy-duty, has a very efficient water turbine drive system, and as little or as much electronics technology as you want,” Mr Wilson said. “And pretty much everything, including steel pipe and the famous Bauer coupling, and the polyethylene tubing that goes on the reel, is manufactured by Bauer in its Austrian factory for optimum quality control.”
For Bauer, area sales manager Rob Jackson and national sales manager Adrian Tindall are pleased to have Burdens Group on board in an area where the Austrian marque has not been represented for some time.
“As an equipment dealer with a strong focus on the specialist crops grown across the Fens and neighbouring areas, we couldn’t wish for a better sales, parts and service support partner,” Mr Tindall said.
