Irish manufacturer Major Equipment Intl Ltd has appointed Taranaki-based AgriQuip as its distributor of Major branded products in New Zealand.
AgriQuip supplies a network of tractor dealerships throughout the country, offering service and after-sales support in the North and South Islands.
"Major has a trusted reputation around the world for top quality, durable machines," says Mark Hamilton at AgriQuip. "The design and engineering of their grass-cutting range is just excellent. Our customers are always looking for hard-working machinery that can cope with New Zealand conditions and Major products fit the bill."
AgriQuip will stock the Cyclone rotary shredder in working widths from 2m to 6.3m. Said to deliver the performance of a bat-wing or flail shredder, with half the fuel and power requirements, the Cyclone is ideal for grassland maintenance, vegetation management and equally adept at clearing overgrown land.
In addition, the New Plymouth-based company will also provide a selection of Major Grounds care machinery including the Swift Roller Mower range, the Contoura mower for golf and sports grounds, and the CS Pro for Compact Tractors.
