Discounted Servicing to All Tractor Makes with TNS Plus
TNS Extends Discounted Servicing to All Tractor Makes Following £24,000 Investment
Farmers running mixed machinery fleets can now take advantage of discounted servicing & repairs through Thurlow Nunn Standen’s (TNS) expanded TNS Plus programme, following a £24,000 investment in multi-brand diagnostic technology.
TNS Plus servicing & repair programme was originally launched in November 2025 to provide discounted maintenance for older, out-of-warranty AGCO tractors and machinery. Following strong uptake from farmers across East Anglia, TNS has identified the opportunity to broaden the scheme to include all machinery makes and models.
The investment in multi-brand and multi-system diagnostic technology enables TNS to offer discounted servicing and repairs across a wide range of manufacturers, including John Deere, New Holland, Claas, Kubota and other leading brands, in addition to the AGCO equipment it has long supported.
With TNS Plus, machinery aged 10 years or older qualifies for up to 30% off labour and parts, while equipment aged between six and 10 years receives 20% off labour and parts. The discounts apply regardless of manufacturer, making the scheme accessible to farmers running mixed fleets.
Adam Cuttridge, Head of Service and Branch Operations at TNS, said: “Farmers are under real financial pressure right now, and replacing machinery is simply not an option for many. Keeping older equipment running reliably and cost-effectively is what this programme is all about. It has been great to see so many new faces coming through the door as a result of this initiative. Around a third of those using the scheme are farmers we have not worked with before, or not for a long while. That tells us there is a real appetite for this kind of support, and extending it to all makes and models should open the door to even more.”
The programme expansion builds on TNS’s long-standing reputation for aftersales support. The dealer celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2025, marking a century and a half of service to the agricultural sector, and the latest investment underlines its continued commitment to supporting farmers with practical, cost-effective solutions.
FAQs
-
The scheme targets older agricultural machines that are no longer under manufacturer warranty. It originally launched for AGCO brands (e.g. Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra) and has since been extended to other major makes including John Deere, New Holland, Claas and Kubota. In practice, eligibility is based on machine age and type rather than brand alone.

Discounts are tiered by the age of the machine:
-
Machines aged 10 years or older qualify for up to 30% off labour and parts.

Yes. Work done under TNS Plus comes with a 12‑month warranty on both parts and labour, giving you protection if an issue reoccurs soon after the job. This is intended to provide similar confidence to main‑dealer servicing, but at a lower cost.
-
TNS Plus is aimed primarily at out‑of‑warranty machines where owners are looking to reduce running costs while maintaining quality. If your machine is still under manufacturer warranty, you may be better served by standard warranty servicing or other TNS plans; the team can advise which option is most suitable for your situation.
-
You can book via your local TNS branch (Suffolk, Norfolk or Cambridgeshire) by phone or through the TNS website’s service booking options. When you enquire, mention that you’re interested in TNS Plus so they can confirm eligibility, discount level and lead times for your machine.
-
TNS Plus is performed by manufacturer‑trained technicians using approved diagnostic tools and procedures, and includes a 12‑month parts and labour warranty. For machines already out of manufacturer warranty, the scheme is designed to maintain reliability without compromising standards. If you have any remaining manufacturer cover, extended warranties or insurance conditions, it’s sensible to check with TNS (and your provider) before booking to ensure compatibility.
