Customer Testimonials
Customer Testimonial: Bungulla Farming, WA
“It is much quicker and easier because there are no bottlenecks anywhere in the chain. With a bin of this size, 50t only looks like a drop in the bottom of it.”
Leading Australian distributor supports top brands for NZ
Waringa Distribution General Manager Sam Abbott and Chris Tricker, New Zealand Sales and Business Development, with two of its equipment brands expected to attract increased interest from the country’s producers, Agri-Spread fertiliser and muck spreaders and Gregoire Besson tillage and soil structuring implements.
Waringa Distribution General Manager Sam Abbott and Chris Tricker, New Zealand Sales and Business Development, discuss the business’ equipment line-up for New Zealand producers.
We are extremely excited to grow the Waringa brand with Grégoire Besson. Our customers expect the best, and the Grégoire Besson Brand is well-known and regarded by farmers globally for its strength, versatility, and high level of performance.
We listen to the different markets and our team is passionate about the equipment ranges we support and working closely with producers, ultimately with a focus on producing food as productively and cost-efficiently as possible.
Waringa has arrived in New Zealand and is quickly gearing up to fully support producers across the country with some of the world’s leading brands.
Part of a diversified farming group, Waringa Distribution thoroughly appraises and paddock-tests machinery brands prior to their market introduction and before assisting operators with full support and parts backup.
Sam said Waringa Distribution had been looking to further grow and expand into New Zealand, but this had been hampered by the global supply chain conditions in recent years.
However, it has since appointed well-respected local industry identity, Chris Tricker, to lead its operations in New Zealand and has established freight, assembly, warehousing and parts distribution locations in both the North and South islands.
Prior to relocating to Marlborough in recent years and working on the South Island, he was involved in sales and operations management, consulting and contracting, including with CLAAS Harvest Centre, in the Waikato region.
Waringa is the exclusive distributor for Agri-Spread fertiliser and muck spreaders, Gregoire Besson tillage and soil structuring equipment, Highline rock handling and hay bale processing equipment, and Broughan Engineering trailers in New Zealand. Waringa anticipates further grain grower interest in Geringhoff header fronts and Elmer’s chaser bins.
Waringa looks forward to adding to its team and resources in New Zealand, including appointing potential dealers, as well as flying the flag and developing relationships with producers.
Proof of placement with product applications will drive adoption of these technologies into the future. The level of technology with the Agri-Spread spreaders is excellent. It offers full section control on a 36-metre spreader and that is almost unheard of.
For further information on the Waringa Distribution equipment range and interest in machine demonstrations, producers can contact Chris Tricker on 027 5770058 or visit waringa.co.nz.
“It is much quicker and easier because there are no bottlenecks anywhere in the chain. With a bin of this size, 50t only looks like a drop in the bottom of it.”
“The draper front combined with the air makes for a clean cut and gets it into the header quick. It was awesome through the crabhole country, we didn’t have to touch a button.”
“We were cutting the canola high and it was great. We also had a lot of lodged barley that we were picking off the ground and we just ran it in hinge flex mode (with rigid cutterbar). It followed the ground better and there was less dirt getting in the front than our other fronts.”
