TRACTOR HIRE ADDS ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY FOR N D HARPER LTD AT HARVEST TIME

As featured in Farmers Guide- September 22

It will come as no surprise to hear that the hiring of tractors, trailers and other agri machinery during peak times can be an excellent way to add additional flexibility and resilience to your farm fleet.

What is more difficult to pinpoint is a company with the scope to deliver what you need when you need it.  N D Harper Ltd, Agricultural Contractors based in Cheshire have found just such a company in ASHBROOK Ltd.

Nigel Harper, MD at N D Harper Ltd comments, ‘we work regularly with ASHBROOK to ensure that our northwest-based contracting business has the machinery it needs in the places it needs it.  It’s great to have new tractors with the latest technology each year and our agreements with ASHBROOK facilitate this.  It means my staff can get the job done in comfort and with efficiency.  In fact, we achieved a significant fuel saving with the new CASE IH tractors versus our previous John Deere’s, which is very welcome as fuel prices to continue to escalate.’

‘An additional benefit is being able to increase our fleet size at peak times.  It’s a real benefit not having to carry the asset on our books throughout the year.  Meaning we don’t need to worry about insurance and finance costs in quieter periods.’

‘Plus, should any issues arise, it’s a quick phone call to the office and it’s sorted, with minimal impact on us.  All our running costs are fixed, and downtime is covered’.

ASHBROOK have an excellent range of tractors (55hp-300hp), grain, silage and dump trailers, not to mention telehandlers and more for hire.  They can offer long or short-term contracts with nationwide delivery, making them an ideal option for farmers up and down the county.
