Apple Farm Service donates New Holland tractor to Ohio’s Union County Fairgrounds
Amid the barns, grandstands and pathways at the Union County Fairgrounds in Marysville, Ohio, this summer, visitors will also spot a new New Holland tractor making its rounds. The 2023 New Holland T6.160 was donated to the fairgrounds by local dealership Apple Farm Service in late January.
“We can’t wait to start using this machine,” says Trent Judy of the fairgrounds. “It’s a great tractor for us to mow our grass and help maintain our track. Having the cab on hot and cold days is going to make chores so much easier.”
The New Holland T6.160 will be used by the fairgrounds for up to a year with a set maximum of hours. In addition to utilizing it for more standard tasks, the fairgrounds also plan to use their tractor for fair week prep and the event’s popular NTPA tractor pull.
“Apple Farm Service is glad to help out the Union County Fairgrounds,” says Kent Holmes, marketing manager at Apple Farm. “We believe in their message of fostering agriculture to the community and youth through livestock and other 4H programs. We hope they enjoy the use of this two-wheel drive workhorse.”
The free rental program is a partnership between New Holland Agriculture and Apple Farm Service. The tractor will be available to sell after the rental, with a new warranty and discounts for the low hours added to the machine.
In business since 1956, Apple Farm Service has five locations throughout Ohio and Indiana. In addition to New Holland tractors, the dealership offers a variety of agricultural equipment, construction equipment and outdoor power equipment. Its OPE brands include Bad Boy Mowers, Kubota, Grasshopper, Kioti, Exmark, Echo, Stihl and others.
