About Us

A local name you can trust - since 1985.

Marsh Contracting owners Ben and Tammy standing in front of their JCB Fastrac tractor – experienced agricultural contractors in the Bay of Plenty.

We're Ben & Tammy

Marsh Contracting Ltd is a second-generation, family-run business with nearly 40 years of experience in agricultural contracting. Based in Te Puke and servicing farms across the Bay of Plenty, we’re proud to support the rural community with dependable service, quality gear, and a team that knows the land.

What began as Neville Marsh Contracting has grown into a diverse operation, now led by Ben And Tammy (nee Marsh) Brownless. While the equipment has evolved and the team has grown, our values haven’t changed - we still believe in hard work, doing the job right, and showing up when it counts.

We provide seasonal and year-round services across:

  • Te Puke

  • Tauranga

  • Rotorua

  • Whakatāne

  • Surrounding rural areas

 

We work with a wide range of clients - from lifestyle blocks to large-scale dairy and dry stock farms. We also support horticulture clients with select services.

We’re proud members of Rural Contractors NZ and have been featured in several national ag publications over the years.

What Sets Us Apart

We keep a strong core crew of experienced full-timers, and expand during our peak seasons with skilled seasonal staff. Every operator is trained, drug-free, and part of a supportive, safety-focused team.

We’ve recently invested in a range of new tractors, spreaders, and custom-built implements to keep up with demand and deliver even better results in the field.
