Power Farming and Topcon join forces
Over the last half-decade, the rapid adoption of GPS, guidance and a host of management and data recording functions has emphasised the need for a knowledgeable and reliable product and support provider.
Power Farming machinery division general manager Graeme Leigh says the company has signed a new long-term contract with the Kverneland Group.
“We have been distributing Kverneland products in New Zealand since 1989 and in Australia since 2007, and we look forward to continuing what has been a very successful relationship,” Leigh says.
“Kverneland Group’s new owners have announced they intend to double its turnover to 1 billion euros by 2017. This is exciting news for the Power Farming Group. We and our customers will benefit from the investment Kverneland are making in their product portfolio.
“Kverneland has been at the forefront of technological developments in disc and drum mowers, rakes and tedders, electronic metering and calibration of fertiliser spreaders, and ISOBUS technology. We expect them to continue their major investments in research and development.”
Kverneland, Vicon and Taarup machines will be among those Power Farming’s sister company PFG Australia will show at the ‘PFG in Action’ demonstration days, on August 29-30 at Shepparton, Victoria.
Other brands include McHale, Great Plains, Simba, and Maschio with all machines powered by PFG tractors – Deutz-Fahr, SAME, Yanmar and Kioti.
PFG Australia grass machinery sales manager Tim Lawrence says the demonstrations will take place on a 20ha site which includes paddocks sown in grass.
“Those who attend will see some great machines in action and great results. We will also be offering some attractive deals over the two-day period.”
A group of at least 80 New Zealand Power Farming dealers and farmers will attend the event, which includes farm visits and entertainment.
