One of our customers wanted John Deere AutoTrac fitting to his Case Quadtrac as well as collecting all the work data from the tractor and sending it wirelessly into his MyJohnDeere Operations Centre account. Jack and Andy from our Farmsight team were more than happy to help.

We fitted a 4640 display in the cab as well as a Starfire SF6000 receiver onto the tractor before fitting an AutoTrac bridge kit to enable the set-up to use the Quadtrac’s own steering valve. The addition of a RTK signal completed the set-up for the highest accuracy possible. To make things even better, we currently have John Deere’s “Connect the Fleet” promotion going on which helped the customer make substantial savings on their investment. Set-up tested and everything is working perfectly. If there is a way to do it, our Farmsight team will find a way!

If you have a challenge for the team let us your local area sales manager or local branch now and somebody from Farmsight will get in touch.

We are pleased to introduce RFS Finance Ltd, recently formed and  operating as a trading company as a member of the Ripon Farm Services Group of Companies. For many years Ripon Farm Services have been able offer bespoke funding facilities through John Deere Financial and other specialist finance providers. We have now brought this valued facility in-house and can now offer you some of the most competitive rates available in the UK Agricultural market today.

Many of you will already know the faces that are behind RFS Finance as Andrew Brown and Andrew Wells have worked side by side with RFS for over 25 years. In recent years they have been joined by Jonathan Brown to help compliment the team and keep us at the forefront of all the technology that our funding partners are constantly bringing to the market. So not only do we have over 50 years of experience we have the exuberance of youth, thus allowing us to connect with every generation of your business.

With time at a premium and social distancing rules to adhere to, technological improvements now enable us, if you require, to complete your finance documents by E-Sign and E-mail. However, we will never forget our traditional values and the importance of a one-to-one meeting on your farm.

With funding lines with many funding providers, as well as John Deere Finance, we are we able to offer manufacturer’s subsidised finance packages on all machinery sold within the RFS Group plus we can also fund purchases you may make from any 3^rd party suppliers. We provide all means of funding for your purchase, from the traditional Hire Purchase and Lease, to more bespoke products such as Contract hire and Operating Lease.

For anything that doesn’t have wheels or isn’t pulled behind a tractor we can also offer a Loan facility.

We would be delighted to discuss whatever you have in mind, be it a diversification project to a livestock purchase, we can even assist with that large unexpected tractor repair bill. Just give one of us call or ask your local RFS machinery specialist to get us to ring you.

We are always happy to help.

Amendment to Covid-19 Group Risk Assessment

With the latest Government Regulations on Face coverings for all retail indoor shop areas from 24 July 2020 the following changes to our shop areas are listed below.

All customer’s entering our indoor retail areas must wear a face covering. This may be a mask, perspex face shields’ scarfs or any cloth which covers the mouth and nose.  We have face coverings available to purchase at each of our sites should you require one.

We also recognise that some people are unable to wear them due to hidden medical needs or if they are under the age of eleven and we will not interrogate our customers to confirm health conditions which would exempt them from wearing the masks.

The Government has made clear that it is the Police who enforce the wearing of face coverings, not our staff.  In short, it is down to yourselves as to whether you can wear a mask.

We will continue to follow social distancing within our sites and minimise the people permitted into our retail shop areas.  Please work with our staff to ensure both your safety and theirs.  The social distancing measures are assessed on a site by site basis.

We have hand sanitiser for our customers to use when entering the shop.

For those who still do not feel comfortable to come into our shop, please discuss with us ways we can support you.

Many thanks for your continued custom.
