The newly appointed dealer will sell Opico grain dryers, mechanical weeding, arable and grassland equipment, alongside He-Va cultivation and grassland machines, Sky drills (Agwoods only) and Strautmann forage and feeding wagons.
“Our team are really looking forward to learning about the machines and can’t wait to demonstrate them to our customers,” comments managing director Wes Crawford of the family-run business.
Opico sales director Charles Bedworth says that working with Crawfords is a win-win situation. “A cornerstone in our strategy is to partner with leading dealers throughout the country,” he comments. “In Wes and his team, we believe we will create a long-term relationship for the benefit of both companies but especially for Crawford and Agwood customers.”
Established in 1980 as an agricultural machinery dealership in Essex, Crawfords has expanded to seven depots and has extended its reach into Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.
A key AGCO dealer since 2001, Crawfords Group runs the Fendt and Valtra franchise from its Crawfords depots and the Massey Ferguson franchise from its Agwood depots.
