50 years of being in business was celebrated in Tipperary, as W.J. Carroll held an open day with working demonstrations at Rossmore, its base in Co. Tipperary.Not only has the company been in business for the last half century, but for 40 years of that it, has been selling Landini tractors – a brand that it is backing even more strongly than ever.
This reflects the creation of Argo Tractors Ireland a year or so ago and the appointment of Kevin Phelan as its manager.
Kevin’s role was to reinforce the brand’s presence in Ireland, along with the McCormick name, and this he feels he is achieving.
Denis Carroll, the son of the founder, Willie Joe Carroll, agrees, and feels confident that with the new arrangement in place sales of the tractors can only increase, and indeed, there were some serious enquiries being made on the day.
Helping this interest along were around a dozen new and demo models to look over, ranging from 100hp to 220hp, giving grassland farmers and contractors plenty to mull over throughout the day.
With 160hp being the preferred power level of many dairy farmers nowadays, Landini has kept up with this ever increasing demand and have a selection of six cylinder models for those who want more still.
Kevin also points out that it is having a good, reliable local service which is absolutely essential to selling tractors into an area and with 40 years of experience, Landini, W.J. Carroll fits the bill perfectly.
There can be little doubt that the dealership holds a strong position in Tipperary, as support for the event was impressive.
