Same Deutz-Fahr snaps up ousted dealers

Same Deutz-Fahr (SDF) has appointed two new dealers, both of which are well-established companies that recently lost their main dealer status with other brands.Somerset-based Bigwood & Partners was formerly with Massey Ferguson, while Cumbria’s Taylor & Braithwaite was, until recently, a John Deere dealer. Both will now be marketing the Deutz-Fahr brand which offers tractors from 30-300hp.
SDF chief executive Mark Casement said he was delighted that the well-established, highly professional, customer-service-oriented dealers had been added to the company’s network.
“This is only the start of what we plan to put in place over future months,” he said. “We look forward to announcing further network improvements in the near future, as we look to grow our UK business in 2012 and beyond.
“Same Deutz-Fahr has excellent products, with exciting new ranges in the pipeline and can offer our dealers, and their customers, high-performing tractors and combines underpinned by excellent reliability and economy of operation.”
For Bigwood & Partners, based at Walford Cross, Taunton, Somerset, the new Deutz-Fahr franchise is said to have been warmly welcomed both by the company’s staff and its customers.
“We have a very mixed farming regime in this area – from fruit growing to large-scale arable units – and there is a demand for both small and large tractors and everything in between,” said managing director Keith Bigwood.”The broad range of tractors offered by Deutz-Fahr means there is a model available to meet all requirements – including an increasing number equipped with CVT transmissions.”
Bigwood & Partners will also be marketing the Deutz-Fahr 60 Series combine range which comprises five models from 220-360hp.
Bringing the Deutz-Fahr tractor range to Cumbria and the Dales is Taylor & Braithwaite, a company that started more than 40 years ago and has been at its current site at Dyke Nook, Sandford, Appleby, for the past 15 years.
Heading up the company is sales director Ian Burton who considers Deutz-Fahr a premium brand that has the backing of a major manufacturer.
“When it comes to quality and reliability there is little to compare with the Deutz-Fahr tractor range,” he said. “The broad power range and transmission options provide our customers with a choice of model to meet their specific requirements.”
Based in a predominantly livestock area, Mr Burton said that he expects the biggest demand will be for mid-range, four-cylinder tractors complete with loaders – both of which, he notes, are well provided for in the Deutz-Fahr tractor line-up.
