Last month, well-known and respected dealers, Kelly’s of Borris, celebrated a significant milestone as its partnership with Claas reached 30 years’. Established in 1957, Kelly’s has gone from strength to strength. It has taken on some major machinery franchises over the years offering machinery and parts by: Horsch (tillage equipment); Redrock (trailers and slurry equipment); Pronar (trailers and chaser bins); Richard Western (muck spreaders); Agri-Spread (precision spreaders); Prodig (forks and bale-handling equipment); Sherbourne Reynolds (hedge cutters); AgXeed (autonomous tractors); and more.
