HIGHLAND LEISURE SPORT JOINS FORCES WITH FARMTRAC
23rd November 2023
Farmtrac’s coverage in Scotland has expanded as Highland Leisure Sport joins the tractor brand’s dealer network. Located in Invergordon, Scotland, the dealer takes on sales, service and parts for the Farmtrac range in the Scottish Highlands.
New partnership between dealer Highland Leisure Sport and Farmtrac proves the perfect match according to Grant Coward.
Having been in the business for over 20 years, Highland Leisure Sport knows how to keep its customers happy, and the secrets behind a successful dealership.
Known for selling efficient machinery at affordable prices, it proves the perfect partnership according to Grant Coward, agriculture technician at the company: “At the end of the day, our customers want simplicity, affordability and a good backup service when it comes to owning a tractor. With Farmtrac and distributor Reesink Agriculture we can offer all three.”
A family run business, first opening in 2003 and specialising in selling and repairing ATVs and off-road motorcycling, Highland Leisure Sport soon turned its support to the agricultural community.
As it looked to expand its offering, acquiring distribution of a compact tractor range was the logical next step. “We’re seeing more people getting into smallholdings, and as they start out they want to spend their money wisely,” says Grant. “They want a product that’s going to be reliable for 10 to 15 years. It’s about keeping it affordable, and we’re finding a lot of competitor brands are just pricing themselves out of the market.”
One product that’s already making a splash with its customer base? The crowd-pleasing FT26 compact.
“Our best-seller is definitely the FT26 with manual drive. It has a great price point and has everything you want, plus a fantastic five-year warranty. It’s one of the best all-round packages with the backup support, and that’s something we always push – the support offered by Reesink Agriculture is second to none,” says Grant.

“First off it’s the ease of service,” Grant says. “You’ve got to give first-class customer experience. We make it as easy as possible for customers, they tell us the kind of thing they want and we do the rest. We probably go further than most people do in the industry and it’s given us a reputation as someone our customers can rely on.
“Our customers can trust us to have an immediate response to any issues that might arise or any queries they may have. We have a rule of thumb that we always respond within the hour to try and get that issue dealt with as soon as possible.”
