Ireland’s Farm Machinery worked with a large arable and vegetable farming operation to supply and support a Stewart trailer solution capable of handling high-volume seasonal work. The customer required reliable trailers that could operate intensively during harvest, with dependable backup for servicing, parts and compliance.
The brief focused on durability, braking performance, ease of maintenance and long-term support rather than a short-term purchase.
After reviewing the customer’s workloads and transport requirements, Ireland’s Farm Machinery supplied a Stewart trailer specification suited to both field and road use. Key considerations included payload capacity, stability, braking systems and compatibility with the customer’s existing tractors.
Alongside supply, Ireland’s provided full pre-delivery inspection, setup and operator guidance. Ongoing support was built into the relationship, including scheduled servicing, brake testing and access to parts from stock to minimise downtime during peak periods.
Ireland’s workshop team carried out routine health checks, covering brakes, bearings, suspension, hydraulics, electrics and tyres, ensuring the trailers remained compliant and ready for continuous use.
30% reduction in unplanned downtime during peak harvest compared to the previous season
100+ trailer brake tests completed ahead of harvest to support compliance and road safety
Same-day parts availability for routine maintenance items throughout the season
Zero failed brake inspections during the main operating period
Improved turnaround times during harvest due to scheduled servicing and proactive checks
The customer continues to work with Ireland’s Farm Machinery for trailer servicing, testing and future equipment requirements, benefiting from consistent support, faster response times and confidence during critical working periods.
