Lincolnshire dealer Irelands Farm Machinery has been appointed as a Claydon distributor, working from depots in Carrington and Sutterton.
“We are delighted with this appointment, which provides existing and potential customers in these key farming areas with access to a strong, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and committed dealer,” David Furber, Claydon’s UK sales manager, states.
Daryl Dunn, IFM’s agricultural sales manager, adds: “We have always prided ourselves on being specialists with the implements that we supply. We pride ourselves on having expansive knowledge on not only the whole good item and the farming systems but also being able to back it up with the technical knowledge of service and expansive range of genuine parts that we have on the shelf. This is the first time we have had a true direct drill to complement our range of products we supply, so the addition of the Claydon range is a significant development for our business and customers.
“Claydon has a strong reputation and the machinery which they manufacture provides farmers with a very efficient, effective integrated crop establishment solution, rather than being a ‘quick fix.’ In a global market where farm output prices are under pressure and input costs are constantly rising we believe that the Claydon Opti-Till® System will be increasingly attractive to our customers, allowing them to significantly reduce production costs without compromising yields.
“Our trading area covers a wide range of soil types, from blow away sand to clay and Grade 1 silt, so we must offer products which are effective in all situations. To highlight the benefits of Opti-Till we will be adding a 3m Claydon Evolution grain-only direct drill and a 7.5m Claydon Straw Harrow to our demonstration fleet.”
