Hamilton Tractors celebrates ‘sales century’ with an Open Day in April

Mon 7/03/2016

Landini dealer Hamilton Tractors will celebrate a sales landmark with an Open Day on April 6 at its Carnwath premises in Lanarkshire.

Jan and David Walkinshaw have supplied 100 tractors since they started the business and were presented with a plaque commemorating the achievement.

Most of the tractors have been bought by farmers and agricultural contractors but with some operated by civil engineering and plant hire firms.

“Hamilton Tractors has proved to be a good choice for our dealership in the area,” says Bob Bain, area sales manager for Scotland at distributor AgriArgo UK. “David Walkinshaw is an enthusiastic salesman and he is backed by parts and service people who know how to look after his customers.”

The business has supplied a number of Landini tractors since then, most recently the first Landini 7-175 V-Shift in Britain. This new high-spec model has a CVT transmission, a touch-screen display for settings and adjustments and a powerful engine with 171hp for draft work and 181hp for other applications.

The Landini range has been transformed after parent company Argo Tractors began a €75 million, three-year R&D; programme developing as many as 10 new and improved designs across the board from 64hp to 212hp with new semi-powershift transmissions and also CVT drive for the first time.

Examples of all leading models in the Landini range will be on display at the Hamilton Tractors Open Day on Wednesday, April 6 along with machines from the dealership’s equipment franchises, which include Abbey slurry tankers and feeders, Fleming trailers, Krone and McHale grass harvesting machinery, and Quicke and Twose loaders and attachments.

In addition to all-day refreshments, farmers and contractors visiting the event will enjoy a 10% discount on all parts orders and other special offers.
