The Fendt IDEAL combine harvester
Ashburton based Carrfields has announced its appointment as the new authorised Fendt IDEAL combine harvester dealer across New Zealand with immediate effect.
This nationwide agreement will ensure customers have access to the full range of Fendt IDEAL combine harvesters, backed by Carrfields’ expert product knowledge, parts and quality customer service, so strengthening its commitment to delivering world-class harvesting solutions to local farmers and contractors.
Bringing together Fendt’s harvesting technology with Carrfields’ understanding of NZ arable farming needs, the collaboration also focuses on the importance of backup parts and service support that
Carrfields has been known for over many decades. Offering the ability to harvest a wide variety of arable crops, including specialist small seeds, the Ideal products have been proven by AGCO’s
specialist combine team in NZ conditions over the past two seasons.
Carrfields will also continue to offer the MacDon range as part of its harvesting equipment lineup, with a portfolio including advanced windrowers (swathers) and draper headers, such as the industry-leading FlexDraper series.
Craig Carr, group managing director of Carrfields, said, “Our Spring Farm launch event gave us the perfect opportunity to showcase these premium machines to our loyal customers over many generations. We are committed to offering the best machinery options available for NZ conditions, and Fendt IDEAL and MacDon certainly do that in our harvesting machinery portfolio. We are confident that we can find the perfect harvesting option for any arable farming operation, so welcome the opportunity to provide on-farm demonstrations to any interested farmers.”
