So, you’ve finally got your hands on the latest and greatest tractor – the one with those impressive duals you’ve been eyeing for years. It's got more horsepower under the hood than your old workhorse, and inside, it’s loaded with comforts: extra storage, USB sockets, and even a cool box. But what's a powerful tractor without a reliable implement? Time to look at Tasmanian made quality, it’s blue and yellow – it’s Delmade.

With over 50 years on the land (Delmade is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year!), these implements are built tough, just how you like them. You can throw all the horses at them, pull them through the toughest country, and they stand up to it time after time. And when you get yours in the yard, you can see it in every square inch. The welds are impeccable, a heavy duty powder coat finish covers every inch – this is not just a thing of beauty, this machine will work your ground for decades to come.

To celebrate half a century on the land Delmade is telling your story – the contractors and farmers who’ve helped build Delmade from the ground up. It’s 1974, and founder D.J. Cunningham looks up from the Track-Marshall Crawler he’s been using in ex-forestry country. It flashes through his mind that perhaps the country is a bit rough for cultivation, it’s so steep the trees are growing at angles. But a man gets tired of breaking down, and after one too many sleepless nights, an idea is born. A company is formed selling and remanufacturing used equipment, leading to a new breed of machinery. A breed built on the frustration of farmers and contractors on the land. A brand that listens to feedback from end users and implements that feedback in subsequent models, that brand is Delmade.

When Managing Director Rohan Cunningham takes you over the Delmade Offset, there’s a story behind every weld, every reinforcement, and every feature. “Even when you achieve perfect” he says, “You keep developing. There’s always a new idea or a bigger and better tractor that needs a bigger and better machine.” Now building up to 64 plate models in the Offset Disc Range, Delmade continues to stand the test of time and invest in quality Tasmanian manufacturing.

Talking to customers there is a re-occurring theme in the conversations it’s about build quality and the design of the machinery. “Very happy with the quality of the finish and how it's built” Bill Douglas Victoria. “Roller is of outstanding quality” Russell. “Fantastic product, extremely well built” Chris Allchin. “I won't ever wear it out. Perfect set of Discs” Grant Porter. “Very happy with the construction” Trevor Donovan NSW. “Fabrication is very well done, protective coating is exceptionally good” Barry Curtain Tasmania.

This is the legacy Delmade has built and continues to build in your paddocks. Talk to Delmade today and match that beast of a tractor with a machine that can shape your land for years to come. Call Delmade 1800 335 623 visit www.delmade.com.au.
