Joseph Brock (1922-1993) farmed 300 acres at Woodhams Farm, where the machinery business is still based today. As solely an arable farmer, some of the quieter time in the ’50s and ’60s he spent in the buying, refurbishing and selling of farm machinery and steel tracked crawlers, along with the help of his staff. This activity naturally grew as his sons began to join the firm, hence in the ’70s, ‘J Brock & Sons’ was established as a farm machinery business.
The 3 sons, Philip, Stuart and Mark grew the family business over the subsequent years, and in 2005 Stuart took the wheel and tyre side of the business, now known as BWT (Brocks Wheel & Tyre), and this also trades from Woodhams Farm. Later, in 2013, Mark set up Oakfields Ag to focus on the buying and selling of Classic and Vintage tractors.
During these years, we developed our own range of machinery, including subsoilers, rollers, and also some land reclamation equipment. We also became the distributor for the Czech-built Farmet machinery range.
Fast forward to 2023 and the decision was made for Oakfields Ag to become the primary business buying and selling a wide range of used tractors and farm machinery, which is the focus of the operations today.
