Penrith-based Burrow & Rutter-Armstrong is the latest addition to the McCormick tractor dealer network.

The Cumbrian dealership was founded in late 2019 by Jordan Rutter-Armstrong and Daniel Burrow.

Serving farmers and others in the agricultural community across the Eden Valley, the business began not only in servicing and repairs, but also trading in used/ex-hire tractors and secondhand machinery, and building a portfolio of new equipment franchises.

“Adding our first tractor franchise to the list of machinery lines we already retail was a natural next step for our business,” said Rutter-Armstrong, who focuses on machinery sales and service, while Burrow oversees UTV/ATV sales/service.

Both are backed by a fully-equipped workshop and a team of skilled and experienced technicians.

"It gives us a fantastic range of tractors, and with models from 44-310hp there’s something to cover all our customers’ needs in a mixed farming area in the heart of the Eden Valley and surrounding region.’’

Ben Agar, business development director at ARGO Tractors UK & Ireland, said he is pleased to have a young and hungry new dealership on the McCormick books to cover an important grassland area.

“We know there is significant untapped potential for McCormick sales across Cumbria, and I’m certain we have signed the best possible team in the area to take on the franchise and fulfil it.

"Burrow & Rutter-Armstrong have got off to a great start since signing with us, and we are looking forward to supporting them and their customers over the coming years.”
