Murphy Agro

What Murphy Agro does

Murphy Agricultural Machinery Dealers is a family-owned sole proprietorship based at Mains of Kinmundy, four miles west of Peterhead in North East Scotland. The business operates as a multi-brand agricultural equipment dealership serving farmers and agricultural businesses across the region, with an additional sales presence in Yorkshire and nationwide haulage capability. Owner James Murphy runs the company with a small team that includes Bruce (Yorkshire sales), David, and Sandy (long-serving service lead departing May 2026).

The company's product portfolio spans new and used agricultural machinery — tractors (John Deere), combines (New Holland), sprayers (HARDI), tillage and cultivation equipment (DAL-BO rollers, Kongskilde/Overum ploughs, Quivogne discs, NRH sub-soilers), fertiliser spreaders (Kverneland, Vicon), muck spreaders (Rolland Rollforce), and trailers (Rolland, McCauley, Easterby, Graham Edwards) — together with an extensive parts inventory including legacy HARDI manual boom spares and consumables such as ISO nozzles. Complementary service lines include a 3,000-ton TASCC-registered grain storage facility (code XX707) used by Frontier and United Oilseeds, and TASCC-registered bulk, flat, and step frame haulage services.

Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales of machinery and parts priced individually with negotiable terms on haulage, plus professional services fees for grain storage and logistics. Distribution is direct-to-customer via the physical premises, an e-commerce catalogue website, phone, and email. The company holds core franchises for HARDI, VICON, KONGSKILDE/OVERUM, DAL-BO, ROLLAND, and NRH, and a wider set of minor franchises including MZURI, PRO FORGE, SUMO, Graham Edwards Trailers, DRT Trailers, and West Trailers, giving it a broad multi-brand offering for the regional customer base.
