Featured Dealer: Tom Ray Tractors, Bridport

This week our featured dealer is Tom Ray Tractor Sales — Tom Ray’s yard between Bridport and Axminster in Dorset. Tom calls himself The Honest Dealer, and he backs it up: every machine gets a proper walk-round video, faults are declared up front, and the stock is checked on the farm before it leaves. If you want a serious used tractor, telehandler or digger without the sales spin, this is a stocklist worth bookmarking. Hire kit lives on the sister site tractorsforhire.co.uk.

Who is Tom Ray?

Tom ran his own agricultural contracting business from 2006, spending the best part of a decade depending on tractors and plant to earn a living. That operator background shows when he describes a machine — what will cost you on Monday morning, what is cosmetic, and what is ready to work. The yard today covers Case, John Deere, Valtra, JCB, New Holland and more, with part-ex welcome, finance available and nationwide delivery arranged. Looking for something specific that is not on the site? Tom will say so, and he will help source it.
