About Ag and Civil
Ag and Civil Machinery Direct was established in 2017 as a dedicated division of Waikato Tractors Ltd, created to meet the evolving needs of contractors across New Zealand. With a rising demand for specialised equipment across agriculture, earthworks, and civil construction, Ag and Civil has become a trusted source for world-class machinery that helps operators grow their capability and tackle tougher jobs.
We source premium equipment from leading manufacturers across Europe, America, and Canada, giving New Zealand contractors access to proven solutions for roading, forestry, mulching, grading, soil preparation, and more. Our range includes everything from discs and power harrows to scrapers, trailers, and high-performance attachments, backed by expert advice and ongoing support.
Ag and Civil continues to grow, securing exclusive partnerships and expanding our product offering to better serve New Zealand’s agricultural and civil industries.
In recent years, Ag and Civil has expanded significantly, securing exclusive partnerships and growing our product offering to meet demand. A major part of this growth is our appointment as the North Island dealer for Merlo, Italy’s market-leading telehandler brand. With compact, medium, high-capacity, and rotating models available, Merlo telehandlers are now at the core of our business, supporting contractors in agriculture, construction, and beyond with unmatched performance and reliability.
We’re also proud to be New Zealand’s exclusive distributor for Kemper, offering a full range of premium harvesting solutions including drum headers, ProfiCrackers, and pick-up systems. As the country’s authorised dealer for Bunning Muck Spreaders, we supply one of the world’s most respected names in manure management. Our partnerships with Erth Engineering, Moreni and other specialist brands continue to bring top-tier implements to local contractors.
With a growing national presence and an increasing focus on innovation, Ag and Civil remains committed to helping Kiwi contractors get more done, with the right machine for every job.
