FarmChief Machinery FarmChief is one of New Zealand’s leaders in quality agriculture implements, services and advice. And, the North Island too.

THE FARMCHIEF STORY

Even in the 1940s, our founder Peter Murray, founder of Murray Implement Company, saw the potential. Coming from an agricultural background, he began his working life as a dairy hand. He built up his agricultural knowledge, progressing to the workshop as a diesel mechanic, and then on to tractor and implement sales. Over the next 24 years, Peter worked for companies including P & D Duncan and International Harvester Company before taking the opportunity to go out on his own. In 1975, the company began in the backyard of Peter Murray’s, Innes Road home; specialising in selling and servicing farm equipment. ONWARDS AND UPWARD
The business expanded rapidly and soon moved to Mill Road Ohoka, which still stands today. From here it served the North Canterbury, Central Canterbury, and West Coast regions, selling Duncan Drills, Ploughs, Cultivators and discs also UFO and Taarup Mowers, along with a wide range of used equipment. With Peter’s sons, Anthony, and Grant Murray employed, the business expanded until it was serving the greater South Island. The third Murray generation is now actively involved in the company and helps both innovate and maintain its heritage and commitment to clients. Now, FarmChief is one of New Zealand’s leaders in quality agriculture implements, service, and advice. Our tagline; Implements for the Best Farmers in the World, reflects our commitment to helping dedicated Kiwis feed people here, and around the globe.

This one has 2 fewer legs, twisted shins and winged feet - ideal for trash flow and incorporation when working to grass. This is the only chisel plough in New Zealand that works for you, not against you. NSL Chisel Plough with Double Wavy Discs from FarmChief.

Putting permanent grass down is an investment: this Canterbury farmer knew the importance of getting a dead-level surface, so he turned to the FarmChief ExpressPlus Speed Discs.

6m of opti-cut discs, all designed for ideal soil disturbance.
Now's the time. Find them here: https://www.farmchief.co.nz/product_range/speed-discs/

The first of it's kind delivered in Morrinsville: 3m NSL Chisel Plough with Double Wavy Discs - now with specialised Black Bear coil spring tynes.

Two fewer legs, 330mm spacing, twisted shin design and winged feet mean greater trash flow, excellent soil inversion and easier pulling in lower HP tractors: this one was only 130HP

An ideal for ripping up that sprayed-off grass pasture.

We had the privilege of attending Road Show last week, with the final stop at Carl & Rachel North's place in Southland.

It was a great chance to see how these impressive barns can transform operations and where the hardworking Rhino Mixer Feeder Wagon fits into the picture.

Cheers guys!
