Case IH and CNH dealer network celebrates excellence from dealerships across Australia and New Zealand

The most outstanding Case IH dealers across Australia and New Zealand for the past year have been revealed, with the two major winners coming from both sides of Tasman.

Australian dealership Intersales was named Case IH ANZ Dealer of the Year 2025 for three or more outlets, while Whyteline in New Zealand claimed the honours for dealers with one to two outlets.

Larwoods Ag Services, with dealerships in Kadina and Maitland, South Australia, took home Case IH Parts & Service Dealer of the Year for 2025, and CNH Capital Dealer of the Year in Australia went to O’Connors.

The CNH ANZ Dealer of the Year 2025, going to dealerships selling both Case IH and New Holland machinery, was Western Australia’s Boekeman Machinery, with dealerships in Brookton, Dalwallinu, Dowerin, Northam and Wongan Hills.

The winners were announced on Tuesday night ((FEBRUARY 24)) at the Adelaide Oval during Case IH’s annual Dealer Conference in South Australia.

The Dealer of the Year results are based on a number of different criteria, including finance and business management, performance in sales and marketing, and parts and service, a precision technology focus and total market share.

CNH Business Director - Agriculture ANZ, Aaron Bett, congratulated the winners, praising the level of excellence they’d achieved and the outstanding service they’d delivered to their customers.

“We set a high bar when it comes to selecting the winners of these awards so the successful dealerships have to tick a lot of boxes. This year’s winners represent everything we value in our dealer network: high quality customer service and support, exceptional knowledge about our products and first-class technical expertise,” Aaron said.

“As Case IH Dealers of the Year, Intersales and Whyteline have gone above and beyond for their customers and represented our brand with the highest level of integrity and authenticity. A big congratulations to them, and to Larwoods, O’Connors, and Boekeman’s.”

Intersales has been in business since the 1950s, growing to four branches in that time: Temora, Griffith, Wagga Wagga and Albury Wodonga. The business has been crowned Case IH Dealer of the Year numerous times over the years, and Intersales CEO Amanda Blachut said it was gratifying for her team to claim the honour once again.

“I know 2025 has been a tough year, and for Intersales it’s been especially challenging. But we’ve gone back to having fun where we can, focusing on our staff and enjoying what we do every day. I really appreciate the work CNH has done with us — honestly, I’m a bit blown away,” Amanda said.

For Whyteline, who have owned and operated the business since 1976, the thrill of claiming the title for Case IH Dealer of the Year for one to two outlets is still sinking in. Vaughn Carson, Agricultural Sales Consultant, said it was great recognition for his hardworking team.

"On behalf of Whyteline, we are a family‑focused business and we really appreciate this award. This year marks 50 years of being CNH dealers, which is something we’re incredibly proud of,” Vaughn said.

“We’ve got a great team—both men and the ladies—who have been dedicated to the cause. Our sales and service teams back us up every day, and that’s a core part of who we are.

“Our customers are very loyal and we appreciate that too, so this award is for them as well."

Larwoods Ag Services, with dealerships in Kadina and Maitland, has been a long‑standing and trusted presence in the region, supporting local farmers with quality machinery, service and parts.

“We’ve got a great team with a big customer focus, and everything we do is for our customers—that’s what we aim to achieve, and it’s been our mantra for over 50 years. It’s very comforting when we win awards like this,” said Scott Mercer, Dealer Principal at Larwoods Ag Services.

“Thank you to CNH for everything they do for us. Our team at the dealership is grateful every day for the support they get.

“Life isn’t always easy and there are challenges from time to time, so if we can be in partnership with CNH and Larwoods, it makes everything stronger for the brand, our customers, and our staff. So thank you very much.”

O'Connors, with locations across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia, took out the CNH Capital Dealer of the Year award for Australia.

“We’ve got a really great relationship with CNH Capital who really supports our customers along the way, so thank you,” said Aaron Cordy, O’Connors Managing Director.

“It really means a lot to us. A big thank you to the CNH team for all you do to help us look after our customers.”

South Island’s Cochranes was named the CNH Capital Dealer of the Year for New Zealand. For Dealer Principal Chris West, the excitement of the achievement was unmistakable.

“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind ride with CNH over the last three to four years, and it really all started with Capital,” Chris said.

“I’d like to thank the CNH team, all of you guys are just legends and I appreciate all your help, so thanks very much for all that you do.”

Boekeman’s is celebrating for the second year running, after last year winning 2024 Case IH Dealer of the Year (with three or more outlets). Dealer Principal Tim Boekeman said they were proud to claim the CNH title for 2025, a great reward for staff members who worked so hard for their customers.  

“We’d really like to thank our 118 staff — they’re a huge part of why we’ve received these awards today. And of course, to our loyal customers, we wouldn’t be here without them.”
