Johnston Tractors was established in 1962 and has always been a family run business. Howard Johnston, who leads the team with his sister Lorna, said, “We welcome the opportunity to work with and represent Fendt in our territories. We believe the Fendt brand will be popular with our customers and we are looking forward to introducing them to the wide range of machines available.

“At the same time, we are able to offer existing Fendt customers the wealth of experience and customer support that we deliver on a daily basis,” he added.

Martin Hamer, Fendt national sales manager; UK, IE, NL said, “It is a pleasure to welcome Johnston’s to the Fendt dealer family. This long-established business has the experience and knowledge to represent Fendt and offer excellent customer service and support. We are looking forward to a long and successful partnership that will see Johnston’s work with us to offer a broad range of Fendt products.”

Johnston Tractors became a Fendt dealer on 1st October, joining over thirty dealerships throughout the UK. This change to the Fendt dealer network is set to be fully effective by April 2021 to allow for a period of transition. Johnston’s say they are now preparing to take on responsibility for the brand with the necessary staff training and are working with Fendt to make it a smooth transition for existing and potential customers.
