A FAMILY BUSINESS
OVER 125 YEARS IN THE FARMING WORLD
Based in Catfield, Norfolk, our machines are known for quality, strength, performance and overall reliability. There is no hiding we are a family business that has been in the farming world for over 125 years, from farming in Norfolk to supplying crop protection products with a previous company, to day manufacturing crop sprayers and continuing to run our farm in Norfolk.
Sands Agricultural Machinery was founded in 1973 by Neal Sands, building the first sprayer for our contracting business. The ban on aerial spraying, and the need for a high clearance machine, led to farmers and contractors asking us to produce self-propelled sprayers for them.
