We’re currently welcoming interest from engineers

📍 Workshop location: Richmond – Barnard Castle

At AgriSource Machinery, we’re proud to support farming communities across County Durham and North Yorkshire. As a long-established, family-run business with over 35 years of experience, we’ve built our reputation on trust, reliability, and hands-on expertise.

As we continue to grow, we’re gently opening the door to a conversation with an additional engineer who may be interested in joining our workshop team based between Richmond and Barnard Castle.

Rather than a formal recruitment process, we’re really starting with a chat — getting to know the right people, understanding experience, and seeing if there’s a good fit on both sides.

The Role (in simple terms)

• Repair, service, and overhaul a wide range of farm machinery
• Support customers with maintenance and practical repairs
• Inspect, deliver, and hand over new and used equipment

What life at AgriSource looks like

• A varied, hands-on workshop role where no two days are the same
• Working with machinery from well-known leading manufacturers
• Ongoing training and support as you develop
• Competitive pay based on experience
• A friendly, down-to-earth family-run team environment

We know the best people don’t always come through formal applications — so if this sounds like something you might be interested in, or even just something you’d like to explore, we’d genuinely welcome a conversation.

Whether you’re actively looking or simply curious about what’s available locally, feel free to get in touch for an informal chat. No pressure, no obligation — just a friendly discussion.

📞 Call or message Paul: 07769 221261
📧 Or email: paul@agrisourcemachinery.com

We look forward to hearing from anyone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in doing a job properly, and wants to be part of a supportive, growing local business.

Efficient Use of Fodder

The incredibly dry conditions this year mean the efficient use of fodder and bedding has never been more important. AgriSource offers a range of products that can reduce daily usage, minimise waste and increase nutritional benefit, in addition to reducing labour and increasing operational efficiency.

Dividing up and feeding out round bales of silage can be both time consuming and hard work.

The Göweil round bale slicer can be used to either cut bales in half or into several slices — for example when reversing down a feed passage — saving time and labour and reducing waste as the livestock eat. This is also useful when bales need to be divided between buildings or pens.

AgriSource also offers a range of double and single silage pushers which can be used to keep the silage at the barrier, getting the most out of each feeding.

The Göweil slicer is strong and well made, with an optional wrap holder to retain the net and stretch film when required.

The mounted and trailed Kidd bale processors are also a good way of feeding round bale silage efficiently and make dividing bales as easy as possible.

A dual-purpose machine, the Kidd blowers are also useful bedding machines, allowing both round and square bale straw to be used efficiently.

For customers feeding straw, the Kidd 475TC (Twin Chop) can be used to pre-chop straw to a consistent chop length, giving livestock more nutritional value.

Being easy to operate and suited to a variety of locations and situations has made the Spread-a-Bale bedding machine with Horizontal Rotor (HR) a popular choice.

Making eating easier for young stock and significantly reducing mixing times compared to introducing full straw bales into diet mixers. By retracting the additional knife bank with the tractor hydraulics, the 475TC becomes a conventional flywheel bedding machine that leaves the straw longer for a more effective and longer-lasting bed.

Finally, the popular loader-mounted and simple-to-operate Spread-a-Bale bedding machines are available in a range of sizes: Micro, Mini, Midi and Maxi. Whether using a mid-range skid steer or tractor loader up to a 4.5 ton telehandler, there is a Spread-a-Bale to suit your loader.

Farm building access and layouts vary massively, and AgriSource can offer a choice of spreading systems and mounting options to suit. Horizontal Rotor (HR) is ideal where greater throw distance is required in larger buildings. The latest ST or Side-Throw models can bed to either side or directly forwards, even when end-mounted, making them versatile and ideal for bedding from narrow passages.

The original Spread-a-Bale Twin Vertical Rotor system is a timeless design that creates a wide fan spread pattern — still the best solution for many farms.

Customers favour the gentle bedding action, minimal dust, simplicity of use and easy self-loading that their Spread-a-Bales provide.

When it comes to feeding and bedding, every farm has its own challenges and requirements. To find out more about any of AgriSource’s products and how they could help you, call Paul Bellas at AgriSource on 07769 221261.
