The Scimitar Story

Industry Leaders for Over 20 Years

Wilbert’s journey in agricultural machinery began in 1983, as an 18-year-old eager to learn the ropes. After two decades working in the industry, we saw an opportunity to do things his way – with integrity, quality and service at the heart of every decision.

In 2003, we launched Agtec Machinery in Masterton NZ, a small operation that has grown steadily over the years into today’s Scimitar. Despite four other machinery businesses already operating in the region, we carved out our place by offering a reliable service, and superior craftsmanship with integrity.

Today, we’re still family-owned and operated, now being supported by the next generation, bringing fresh ideas and energy to Scimitar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Scimitar trailers different?

Our trailers are built tough with tandem axles that pivot on 65mm or 75mm pins with Vesconite bushes – meaning less lubrication, massive load capacity, and long-lasting reliability. Every trailer is sandblasted and finished with durable two-pot paint for maximum protection.

How do I choose the right trailer size for my tractor?

As a rule of thumb:

  • 45–60HP → 4 Tonne
  • 60–80HP → 6 Tonne
  • 80–100HP → 8 Tonne
  • 100–130HP → 10 Tonne
Should I buy a single-axle or tandem 6-tonne trailer?
  • Single Axle: Ideal for budget-conscious buyers, light use, or where ground compaction is not a major concern.
  • Tandem Axle: Better for frequent use, smoother ride, and reduced ground compaction.
Do you offer custom-build agricultural machinery?

Yes, we can customise many of our products to suit your farm’s unique needs. Talk to our team about your requirements.

Do you only manufacture, or do you sell and service other machinery?

We do more than just manufacturing. We also buy and sell new and used machinery, carry out repairs and rebuilds, and have a range of equipment available for hire.
