“All my time used to be spent spreading. With the AgriSpread, I get my time back. It’s precise, easy to use, and makes a big difference to how we run the farm.”
Waringa Distribution, one of Australia’s fastest-growing equipment distributors, has officially launched in New Zealand. Under the leadership of Chris Tricker, the company aims to support local producers with top brands, including Agri-Spread fertiliser spreaders, Gregoire Besson tillage equipment, and more.
General Manager Sam Abbott highlighted Waringa’s commitment to understanding the agricultural market and enhancing food production efficiency. The company has established operations across both islands, including freight, assembly, and parts distribution.

Elmer’s Haulmaster Chaser Bin Builds are well underway for 2022 Harvest at both our workshops, with more containers continue to arrive over the next month.
We were also fortunate enough to have Elmer’s Manufacturing employees over from Canada for 6 weeks to assist our Welshpool Workshop Team with our Haulmaster builds. The sharing of knowledge between the teams has been extremely valuable. Another Elmer’s team has just arrived at our Horsham Workshop, and we look forward to gathering even more insights during their stay.
Waringa is committed to working closely with our manufacturers and we are looking forward to collaborating with their teams even more in the future.
As with all our distributed products, we are continuing to work with the Geringhoff team to further adapt the TruFlex Draper Header fronts to meet our unique Australian cropping conditions.
The fronts performed very well last harvest and we believe some minor modifications will make a world of difference to the product performance. The final changes have been put in place ready for more testing this harvest. We are excited for the potential of the product and eager to see the impact of these new changes to be ready for orders in 2023!
Waringa Distribution was lucky enough to have attended eleven field days in 2024 around Australia and New Zealand.
Waringa went to New Zealand for the Mystery Creek and Hamilton Field Days for the first time.
We also attended the Eyre Peninsula Field Days in SA, AgQuip in Gunnedah NSW and Dowerin Field Days in WA.
If you missed us at any of these events, we will be back in 2025, so keep an eye on the @Waringadist socials to stay informed!
At Dowerin Field Days in WA, Waringa was fortunate enough to have the Hive Motherbin 225T on show for the first time as well as the Gerringhoff TruFlex Draper Header front. It was great to see our site’s new additions turning heads and exciting the visitors.
We are excited to have Kenway & Clark come onboard as a new Highline Manufacturing Dealer. Kenway and Clark has six branches located throughout North-West NSW and South-West Queensland.
Kenway and Clark have over 60 years of experience with agricultural machinery and are already one of our trusted dealers for Agri-Spread and Elmer’s Manufacturing in NSW and QLD. We are very excited to have them take on another Waringa distributed brand.

“The Discordon has been a game-changer for our contracting business. It handles all soil types, delivers a perfect finish, and has massively improved our efficiency. Backed by great support from Waringa Distribution, it’s easily the most versatile tillage tool we’ve ever used.”

Victorian growers praise the Equalizer seeder for its precise depth control, easy setup, and narrow transport width. “It did a bloody good job,” says Greg Brown.
