Ag and Auto Limited performs a very broad range of services for its clients as a mechanic and agricultural engineering service. The majority of the work was based around fabrication of custom metal attachments, servicing, and repairing agricultural equipment. With a very small team and job sites spread around rural Hawkes Bay, the job required strong problem solving skills and the ability to make use of what you had on the truck and around the farm.
