Ritchie Agricultural

Ritchie Agricultural Ritchie Agricultural specialise in supplying specialist farming machinery and equipment to the farmin

Ritchie was established over 140 years ago as a blacksmithing service to the local community of Gateside in the County of Angus, Scotland. As farming advanced during the late 19th and early 20th Century, traditional blacksmithing skills were replaced with the manufacturing of a small range of innovative implements designed to improve efficiency and reduce labour inputs as horsepower gave way to st

eam and tractor power. This business expansion necessitated relocating from the country into the town of Forfar where Ritchie continued to develop and manufacture products for both the livestock and arable industries.

Still going strong. 💪🐮

This Ritchie 339G Cattle Crate is around 15 years old and still looking fantastic with its original paintwork.

We've been helping farmers handle livestock for over 155 years, and while our products have evolved over the decades, one thing hasn't changed: building equipment that's made to last.

What's the oldest piece of Ritchie equipment still working on your farm?

Handling sheep doesn’t always happen in the yard.

The Offroad Combi Clamp Trailer is designed to take your handling system to where it’s needed: moving easily between fields and setting up in minutes.

With quick setup and no heavy lifting, it keeps things simple when working in more remote or off-road locations.

Bale accumulators offer proven reliability over many years service!

The uncomplicated design and robust construction mean trouble-free operation. Suitable for use with most modern balers including Lely Welger.
Take a look at the two options:
🌞The Automatic accumulator releases the bales on completion of the pack.
🌞The Windrower accumulator allows the operator to hold the pack whilst the next pack is being formed, with the operator releasing when convenient.
Get in touch with your local merchant for details or take a look at our website for more information:

Bob Ritchie’s first Royal Highland Show was 1967.

Since then, he’s attended every show apart from the cancelled years, giving him well over 50 years of Highland memories.

One of his earliest memories before that? Painting pneumatic barrow wheels as a young boy before travelling to the show with the family.

Ahead of this year’s show, we’ve been digging out a few old photographs and paperwork from the archives..... including a Royal Highland Society life membership receipt from the early 1970s.

Some things change over the years. Some things stay part of the routine.
Will you be popping by to say hi to Bob this year on the Ritchie Agri stand?

The demonstration team is ready for NSA Scotsheep 2026! 🐑
