"Wait... you guys actually DO the concreting?!" 🤯

Yep! We've just had someone tell us they thought we only hired out our tracked mixer, so we're setting the record straight: Prydes doesn't just supply the gear — our crew does the actual doing!

Here’s a prime example: a bridge abutment out on a remote farm. In this instance, the farmer carted the raw materials in by tractor, and our tracked concrete mixer and crew got stuck straight into the job.

From remote farm jobs to town pours, we mix it, lay it and finish it. Need a job done from start to finish? Give Prydes a buzz!

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗼𝗻: 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀! 🌳✂️

Do you have trees that need attention? We’ll soon be hiring a specialist Tree Shear attachment, which is great for:

• De-limbing: Removing heavy overhanging branches safely and precisely.
• Tree Removal: Taking down whole trees (up to the attachment’s capacity) with total control.
• Woody Vegetation Clearing: Removing saplings and smaller trees that are too big for a mulcher or scrub-cutter.
• Shelterbelt Topping: Tidying up overgrown treelines.
• Fenceline Clearing: Snagging trees that are leaning over or damaging your wire.

Note: This gear is built for wood! For light scrub, toitoi or grass, our standard buckets are still the way to go, but for the "woody" stuff, this shear is the boss.

Since we’ll only have this on-site for a limited time, we’re looking to fill the schedule now. Get in touch to discuss your job!

Did you know Prydes can install sub-soil drainage? 🚜💨

We use precision GPS survey gear that "talks" directly to our digger. This ensures the exact fall gradient needed to get water moving off your land and back into productive use. No guesswork, just results. 🎯

Give us a bell if you’d like Sam to swing by and chat about reclaiming your paddocks! 📞✨
