Farmhand has appointed Fitzgerald Agri Services (Ballylooby) as a new dealer for Amazone, APV and Quicke machinery in Co. Tipperary.

Paul Scrivener – managing director of Farmhand – explained: “We are proud to partner with Fitzgerald Agri Services. The company has already been doing a great job for Topcon and providing back-up service for various tillage machines in the area.”

Robert Fitzgerald – from Fitzgerald Agri Services – added his comments, saying: “We pride ourselves on providing first-class customer service, with a focus on precision farming and high-tech equipment.

The high quality and technology that are associated with Amazone, APV and Quicke products are a perfect fit.

It’s worth noting that Farmhand – based in Damastown, Dublin 15 – imports, assembles and subsequently distributes machinery through a network of 40 independent dealers. It chiefly offers products from Krone, Amazone, Quicke and APV.
