Farm Services has, like John Deere, created a marine division to supply the commercial and recreational marine market. Covering the territory north of Wellington to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, FSL Marine has evolved out of our long-established John Deere partnership, existing marine expertise and range of high performance engines on offer.

Marine Division Manager, Ray Findlay, not only has a bountiful 35 years expertise, gained at both dealership and John Deere Limited, Ray is also an experienced boat-owner and passionate sailor, currently regularly racing and cruising a 10.34 metre yacht.

John Deere’s marine range features the long stroke, high torque, low speed, fuel efficient engine design that are characteristics of all John Deere products. Factory and custom designed engines are produced from plants in Mexico, France and the USA.

Engine outputs range from 85 hp (63.4 KW) to 610 hp (455 KW) with intermediate ratings dependant on the application, hull design and annual hours of use. Sea trials are also carried out as standard to ensure that all installations meet the John Deere installation and maintenance requirements.

FSL Marine will utilise Farm Services existing service network, full workshop services and seven mobile service units currently in operation, whilst our Engineering Division also compliments this line-up.
