Managing director Mike Pullen, salesman Anthony Wilkes and parts and service staff at McCormick dealer P&D Engineering look forward to welcoming local farmers and contractors to an Open Day at their premises in Bredon near Tewkesbury – the gates open at 10.30am and they promise to stick around for as long as visitors want them to!

“Admission is free, of course, and we’re laying on a complimentary Hog Roast so I hope our customers – and maybe people who don’t do business with us yet – will come and have a beer, a bite to eat, a catch up and a mooch around,” says Mike. “We’re also holding our usual charity raffle with a great lot of prizes from of our suppliers, including boiler suits, luxury hampers, bottles of whisky and more, with all proceeds going to the Midlands Air Ambulance.”

Staff from all the many machinery suppliers that P&D Engineering represents in the area will be on hand to display and talk about their latest products but the biggest draw is bound to be the new 'X' generation tractors that are transforming the McCormick range.

“There’s been a lot of change with any number of new models being introduced to modernise and the McCormick tractors and bring them bang up to date,” says Anthony Wilkes. “We’d really appreciate the opportunity to show customers just how much the McCormick range has changed for the better with these latest machines.”

Ready for action - P&D
Ready for action - P&D's McCormick X7 Pro Drive demonstrator.

From the new 60-107hp X4 Series to the high-spec 143-212hp X7 Pro Drive tractors, the newcomers cover all the major applications involving livestock and arable production. In particular, the new X6 Series, in ‘standard’ and better-equipped ‘LS’ guise, are worthy successors of two popular McCormick ranges – the MC and the X60 – while the new X5 Series with its spacious new-design cab will appeal to operators of the popular McCormick CX tractors.

The Open Day takes place on Wednesday, March 11 at P&D Engineering’s Fleet Lane premises in Bredon (GL20 7EF).
