A  fleet of 32 New Holland tractors has been delivered in a major deal with one of the UK’s biggest growers of carrots and parsnips.

Cambridgeshire dealership G & J Peck Ltd recently handed over the variety of sophisticated T6 and T7 tractors to Alan Bartlett and Sons Ltd in a deal signed earlier this year.

The transaction means the family-owned operation based at Great Acre Fen, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, is now entirely running with New Holland, after several competitive make tractors were replaced by the brand.

The 32-tractor order comprised a variety of models: T6.165 Electro Command, T7.200 Power Command, and T7.235 Power command and Auto Command. All have 50kph transmissions for faster haulage and cycle times.

Director Ollie Bartlett said, "We had a fleet of New Holland’s before and we have had a relationship over a number of years with Pecks. We had a couple of options, but in the end it was down to the competitive pricing and the fact that the last fleet of tractors had proved to be reliable with no major issues. Fuel efficiency was a big factor in our decision too. We are pleased with them.

“We have been speaking to Pecks for a number of years and we have kept that relationship going. Pecks gave us the best price and the after-sales service has been good – there are no faults.
