Certainly not short on experience, Mr Holliday has been maintaining tractors for over 26 years, with more than a few of them working on Same Deutz-Fahr tractors. For the last eight years he has been running his own repair and service business from his Moor Cottage premises at Longtown, Cumbria.

"We have a large, well fitted workshop with good access and generous outside space," he explains. "Having the Deutz-Fahr business will be good for my business and no doubt for Deutz-Fahr users as well who can now receive a dedicated specialist service for their machines."

He adds that he plans to carry a large number of parts along with a range of lubricants and the future will see additional staff joining the business.
