People in the Whanganui region who are in the market for a new tractor will no longer have to travel to Palmerston North or New Plymouth.
Tracmac Wanganui, which has traditionally serviced tractors and farm machinery, is now selling tractors.
Owners Joe and Amanda Crawford bought the business in 2017and said it was time to expand.
"By selling and servicing these tractors is a great thing for Whanganui and South Taranaki as we have three mechanics set up with fully equipped service vehicles for any on-site needs and a fully equipped workshop," Joe Crawford said.
The company is selling Italian tractor brands McCormick and Landini and Korean brand TYM, Crawford said.
He was approached by New Zealand distributor AGTEK to represent the European brands.
AGTEK general manager Gayne Carroll, formerly of Whanganui, said it was an "awesome opportunity" to partner with the team at Tracmac.
"Whanganui is a growing region, and it has been a very long time since a tractor dealership was there in the community and I'm sure the many farmers and lifestyles around the region will support and appreciate the local service Tracmac has to offer."
