Russells, one of Britain’s largest farm machinery dealer groups, has been appointed to sell, and maintain, Bauer slurry handling and crop irrigation equipment. The group covers an area stretching from Yorkshire southwards to Northamptonshire.

Jonny Newton (above), sales manager at Russells, is overseeing the new venture. “A lot of our existing customers use Bauer equipment, so it was an easy decision to take on such a well-known and well-regarded range of slurry and irrigation equipment,” he says. “We’ve had very positive feedback on news of our appointment and we’ll be doing our best to provide the same level of service that the previous dealer delivered.”

Adrian Tindall, Bauer UK and Ireland sales manager, said, “This change to our distribution follows the retirement of John Milner and Roy Wharrick of Rainmec, who did us proud, maintaining a sound reputation for product expertise and service.
