Agriplus celebrates 10 years since becoming McCormick dealers.
There was a double celebration for us during the Stokesley Show in North Yorkshire.
First off, McCormick area sales manager Phil Maw made a presentation to Rob Stephenson and his business partner (and uncle) Richie Winter to mark the company’s tenth year as a McCormick dealership.
We took on the franchise just two years after setting up in 2005 and our business has grown from a small agricultural engineering concern into a major machinery dealership supplying farmers and plant hire operators in the north-east with a wide range of new and used machinery.
One of our customers, the Chapman family of Easby Grange, also received the keys to the second new McCormick X7 Series tractor they have acquired this year and the fifth McCormick in a row purchased from Agriplus.
They started out buying two McCormick MC130 tractors to replace other makes and liked them so much that a McCormick MTX150 tractor followed. This six-cylinder tractor was replaced by a 160hp McCormick X7.650 Pro Drive Efficient tractor earlier this year to help manage the Easbythan pedigree Holstein Friesian enterprise, and after the show they took delivery of a four-cylinder 166/175hp McCormick X7.460 Premium tractor.
Sound back-up service is a key attraction for our customers. Our fully-equipped workshop facilities cater for service and repair to all makes of tractors and machinery and our factory-trained workshop crew provide a 24-hour service seven days a week with no callout charge!
In addition to McCormick, we also sell Vicon, Harry West, Weidemann, Teagle, Maschio and Bomford equipment.
