An agricultural engineering business specialised in trading used equipment has 'come of age' by becoming a fully-fledged dealership handling the Landini tractor range and a number of farm equipment lines.


Jason Bloor with new 6 Series and 5-H Series tractors

The new venture was launched at the Ashbourne Show with a colourful display of the new tractors alongside other farming equipment.

For Jason Bloor, it's the culmination of plans to develop and grow the business; he has already opened a well-stocked shop selling a wide range of parts, batteries, tools, protective clothing and farm toys to complement the established workshop services.

"We've put a lot of time and energy into improving the facilities here to provide a better and broader service to farmers and others in rural communities in Staffordshire and neighbouring counties," he says. "With everything from fencing materials, power washers and quad bikes to trailers, slurry equipment and new tractors, we've become a one-stop-shop for all things farmers need."

J A Bloor Agricultural Services is based at Overton Farm, Hollington near Uttoxeter, Staffs and now employs a staff of seven, with a young apprentice studying agricultural engineering at Reaseheath College joining the workshop team.

The new partnership with Landini distributor AgriArgo UK, enables J A Bloor Agricultural Services to provide parts, routine servicing and repairs to existing Landini tractor users, and to supply new tractors throughout Staffordshire and into Derbyshire and surrounding counties.
