A NEW Opico dealer has been appointed in North Yorkshire.

Franks Curtis, based between Pickering and Malton, has joined their Strautmann and Opico grassland machinery dealer network.

James Woolway, Opico’s managing director said: “David Franks and his team have a wealth of knowledge and experience and the dealership covers a good mixed farming area, with a strong tradition of grassland and dairy operations – perfect for these brands. We are delighted to have them on board.”

David Franks, Franks Curtis managing director, said the Strautmann forage wagons and diet feeders were a valuable addition to their machinery portfolio.

“Our highly trained engineers have already been to the Strautmann service training in Germany and are fully up-to-speed with both the Strautmann and Opico grassland product ranges,” he said.
