The introduction of Deutz-Fahr tractors, combine harvesters and telehandlers brings a new era to the business of LJ & CA Cannings.

Heading up this family owned business is Les Cannings and his wife Caroline who began the dealership in 1976 and, over the years, have gradually expanded the range of machinery marketed to include both agricultural and garden equipment. Having an ever larger involvement in the running of the company are their sons James and Michael who share their father's belief in providing modern technology alongside good old-fashioned service.

James said that news of the new tractor franchise has been well received by his customers and there has already been several orders placed.

"It's an encouraging start," he says. "We are convinced the Deutz-Fahr tractor range will be a major asset for our business."

For David Moore and his wife, Liz, the Deutz-Fahr franchise will enable their business to expand through being able to offer a larger tractor range.

"I have been aware that there is an increasing number of customers who required extra power to work their farms more efficiently," he says.

David reports that customer response to the change of franchise has been positive and encouraging.

He adds, "Overall, we believe that the Deutz-Fahr tractor range will allow us to provide our customers with a better service, better products and a greater choice."
