Alan Snow Agricultural Engineers: Authorised dealers for Fendt & Massey Ferguson ranges of tractor & agricultural machinery.

Southwest farm machinery dealer Alan Snow celebrates a quarter century of trading in 2007.

Alan, who started his business from of the back of van in 1982, is today the distributor for leading tractor brands, Fendt (Devon and Cornwall) and Massey Ferguson (Cornwall and West Devon). The company operates from premises in Holsworthy, Launceston & Truro and employs over 25 full-time staff.

Alan has been involved with agricultural machinery all his life. Coming from farming family, at an early age he decided milking cows wasn’t for him. His real passion was tractors and, after leaving school, he took on an apprenticeship with agricultural engineers Fulford Trumps. At the age of 25, he elected to go it alone and set up a small repair business from home in Thornbury. He quickly built up a reputation with farmers in the area and, as a result of customer recommendation, just three years later was appointed service agent for Fendt tractors.

In 1989, he moved with his family to a new home in Sutcombe near Holsworthy which had enough land to build a workshop. He was awarded the full Fendt distribution franchise in 1992 and the business grew steadily over the next 14 years. Since then with relentless effort and dedication Alan, Di & the team have moved onwards and upwards and have become one of the most knowledgeable , respected and longest serving Fendt dealers in the UK.

Alan’s next major milestone was his appointment as Massey Ferguson dealer for Cornwall and West Devon.

Early in 2006 a new and exciting opportunity arose to expand Alan & Di Snow’s business. Local man Wayne Rundle joined them as a business partner to create Alan Snow (Launceston) Ltd which coincided with being awarded the Massey Ferguson franchise for Cornwall and West Devon. In October 2006 the second branch at Tregaller Works Launceston opened.

The growth of the business grew again late in 2008 with the opening of our Truro depot which is ideally situated just of the A30 at Blackwater.

Now In 2012 Alan Snow Agricultural Engineers are main dealers for the following leading machinery brands: Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Merlo, Pottinger,Joskin & latest addition Stewart trailers.
