HOP-WOODOur family. Our woodland. HOP-WOOD.
It started
with our
own woodland.
We bought woodland, needed tractors and went looking for the right machines. The search became HOP-WOOD.
This is our story
The search for our own machines
A lot of work.
A sensible budget.
There was plenty to do on our land: clearing access, moving material, digging and looking after the woodland. We needed capable tractors with the equipment to get on with it.
The basic imports we considered were too basic for what we wanted. The established brands we looked at cost more than we could justify for our use. We were looking after our own land, rather than running a commercial-scale farm.
So we kept looking. Years of research led us to a manufacturing partner overseas and a close working relationship. We could specify the tractor and attachments together, around the jobs we actually needed to do.
What we want HOP-WOOD to offer
Good, strong machines.
Equipment that earns its place.
Practical, well-specified tractors at a competitive price, for woodland owners and smallholders with real work to do.
We have done the groundwork so you can start with your needs. Choose the tractor, operator setup, loader, hydraulics and compatible attachments. We bring it together as one complete order.
Putting the launch models to work
Our land.
Our machines.
Our learning.
Our 50 hp RAM and 70 hp BULL are here, working in our own woodland. We are shaking them down, using their attachments and getting to know the complete setup.
That means finding the niggles as well as seeing what works well. We are learning from the jobs we do and feeding those findings into preparation and future builds with our manufacturing partner.
Our two launch tractors will be offered for sale after their woodland shakedown. Enquire online for details
A new venture. Practical roots.
A family business,
from the ground up.
HOP-WOOD is a new family venture. Our background is in engineering, welding and fabrication, and we are bringing that practical experience into a business shaped by our own woodland.
We are building the business as we learn the machines. We want to give people straightforward information, listen to what they need and put together a tractor package that makes sense for their land.
Family, woodland and a fresh start.
Our name brings our family and woodland together. The oak in our emblem represents roots and care for the next generation; the eclipse marks a new chapter.
