Description

Truro Farm Machinery is a family run business dedicated to serving the farming community of Cornwall. For over 25 years we have been delivering a first class service to all our customers, large or small. We know that our farmers value the quality of our machinery and in the rare case that something goes wrong, they know we will bend over backwards to get them working again as soon as possible.

From it's humble beginnings, TFM has gone from strength to strength. So much so, that in the Summer of 2010, we out grew our original premises in the centre of Truro and undertook an expansion to a purpose built new site just off the A30 at Mitchell. Our new state-of-the-art workshop and parts department complex is larger, better equipped and more conveniently located to serve you.

We are stocking dealers for the following JCB , McCormick, Kuhn, McHale, McConnel, Teagle, Shelbourne Reyonlds, Watson, Conor.

Truro Farm Machinery will always be small enough to care, but big enough to meet all your agricultural needs.
A dedicated new build to accommodate the assembly of the new range of arable machinery we have just taken on. This is a new venture into a lot bigger machinery which can not be accommodated in our current workshop. This new facility will bring 3 new skilled jobs to a vital industry in our region, with two additional employees engaged by the end of 2024 and a further post available at the end 2025.
The new range of machinery is essential to enable our farmers to meet the new stringent government farming policies.
It will also help us to future proof Truro Farm Machinery Ltd. As farming machinery is increasing in size and complexity year on year.
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
