TractorFest Ripon another great success!

Newby Hall near the city of Ripon in North Yorkshire hosted TractorFest, the largest vintage tractor and machinery show in the UK. On display were over 1400 tractors of all ages and many other classic vehicles which drew nearly 14,000 attendees over the two-day event and including several tractor parades including 80 years of Zetor tractors celebration.

UnitedSeats represented by Independent Agriparts
At the show, Independent Agriparts (based near Filey in North Yorkshire) represented UnitedSeats. They are specialists in parts and tractor refurbishments and as well as running a large pig farm. Run by the Durkin family they have been a UnitedSeats Dealer in Yorkshire since 2023 and have been a great ambassador of the UnitedSeats brand and have been doing an excellent job.

Family support and strong customer engagement
As TractorFest is a full-on family event for the farming community the Hale family (David, Liam, Jenny and Evie) joined the show to support the team, with 8-year-old Evie proving very popular with customers.

Wide range of UnitedSeats products on display
The extensive range of seats on display included Air seats such as Rancher Pro, Rancher Std, Rancher Blue and mechanical seats CS85/C1 AR Brown, CS85/H90 AR, MGV84/C1 and PVC seats such as T600 AG, MGV35, US20, W700, Mi800 and Mi600.

Strong interest in Rancher air seat range
The Rancher Pro, Rancher and Rancher Blue Air seats were a constant attraction with the 2 families demonstrating the seats on a permanent basis. Steve Durkin is now hoping that the Rancher Pro with air climate system will be available soon as many farmers were looking for the air vent feature on seats as older classic tractors lack air con.

Classic Ford tractor restorations on display
They also had two fantastic restoration examples of the Ford classic tractors TW35 and a 7810 Jubilee edition with both being fitted with CS85/C1 AR blue seats, providing a perfect look with the blue matching the Ford colours.

Successful event for UnitedSeats and Independent Agri Parts
Overall, Tractorfest proved a great success with many seats sold and various UnitedSeats models on display in the classic tractor cabs around the show.

Many thanks go to Independent Agri Parts for their excellent efforts.
