Grange Machinery has appointed its first dealer in the Republic of Ireland, Kellys of Borris, which is based in Borris, Co Carlow and its sister branch Kelly’s of Laois, Abbeyleix, Co Laois.

A family-run company based in Holderness, East Yorkshire, Grange Machinery manufactures agricultural machines and wearing parts that they say offer affordable solutions to farmers across the UK, Europe and as far afield as New Zealand.

Also family-run, Kellys was established in 1957 and has been serving the Irish market for 66 years. It is one of Ireland’s largest stockists of new and used agricultural machinery, farm machinery and plant equipment, and has recently taken delivery of its first Grange machines, a 4m Close Coupled Toolbar and 3m Grassland Loosener. 

“Grange Machinery is delighted to have appointed Kellys as its first dealer in the Republic of Ireland,” commented managing director Rhun Jones. “There is an excellent fit between our products and the range offered by Kelly’s and the company has a strong presence and long-standing reputation in an important Irish farming area.” 

Wayne Barry, branch manager at Kellys of Laois commented: “We were looking for a range of products to complement the Horsch and Dalbo cultivation equipment that we offer and were very impressed with Grange Machinery, as a company and in terms of what it can offer. With customers moving towards min-till, the Grange Close Coupled and Low Disturbance Toolbars are ideal, while the Grassland Loosener will be of great interest to our livestock farmers.

“We look forward to showcasing the product range to our customers in the coming months.”
