Yanmar Compact Equipment EMEA (Yanmar CE) has announced the appointment of Field and Forest as its dealer for central Scotland. This partnership, effective since January, promises to expand Scottish customers’ access to Yanmar CE’s extensive product range and service support. Field and Forest’s territory stretches from the southern borders with England, up to Edinburgh and Glasgow – and as far north as the Ilse of Mull off the coast of western Scotland. 

Based in Broxburn, West Lothian, decade-old Field and Forest is a supplier to the groundcare and forestry sectors, especially the supply of specialised forestry attachments. The addition of the Yanmar range is being seen as complementary to its existing customer base – a belief confirmed by the sale of four Yanmar excavators in just its first month supporting the brand.

Demonstrating its enthusiasm in spreading the word about its new supply partner, in April Field and Forest, with the support of Yanmar CE, will display 9 Yanmar machines, including the all new SV86 and SV100-7 compact excavators, all fitted with a variety of construction and forestry attachments, at the ScotPlant trade show in Edinburgh. This will give visitors to the show a first-hand look at the wide range of machines available from Yanmar CE and the support offered by Field and Forest. 

"Partnering with Yanmar CE represents a major milestone for Field and Forest, enabling us to deliver top-tier compact equipment solutions, enhanced by Yanmar CE’s legacy of quality and innovation," stated Harry Denholm, Construction Equipment Specialist at Field and Forest, and lifelong excavator expert. 

This collaboration is set to broaden the range of Yanmar CE products across Scotland, supported by Field and Forest's exceptional service and industry expertise. Both companies are committed to continuous improvement, ensuring customers and the compact equipment sector at large reap the benefits of this collaborative effort for years to come.
