MASSEY JGW HAY EQUIPMENT & TRACTOR RANGE DRIVES EFFICIENCY AND GROWTH FOR HIGH-VOLUME MIXED FARM OPERATION

The Challenge

Nathan operates a 550-hectare mixed farming business near Billimari, producing vegetables, hay, and lamb. After returning to the Massey Ferguson brand in 2013, he was looking for farm equipment that was efficient, durable, and ideally suited to intensive hay operations — particularly for consistent small square baling.

Key needs included:

  • Machinery that supports year-round vegetable and livestock operations
  • A reliable baling setup to support a growing hay enterprise
  • Local dealer support that can keep machines running during peak periods

The Solution → Massey Ferguson Tractors & Baling Equipment from JGW

Nathan’s reinvestment in Massey Ferguson was driven by real-world performance: the tractors deliver smooth power, ideal for hay work and general farming tasks, and the balers consistently produce small, uniform bales essential for his operation. A standout feature has been the Vario transmission, which offers superior control and adaptability across different farm tasks.

With ongoing support from JGW, Nathan has found the equipment performs when it’s needed — backed by a team that understands local farming conditions.

”“Massey is built for farms like ours. They’re reliable, consistent, and the team at JGW is always there when we need them.
That’s what keeps us coming back.”
