| The business relationship between the Severinsen family and T H White goes back to the 1960s when Robert Severinsen’s father bought his first piece of equipment...
“If my memory is correct,” says Robert, “it was a combine harvester. As the depot was on our doorstep it was ideal.”
Robert and his wife Jo, together with their four children, live outside Thornbury and now it is Robert who runs R Severinsen & Partners. Altogether they own and rent around 500 acres of land with a large part of the business being contract work. Besides himself, Robert has a team of three full-time workers and a foreman who keep the business running smoothly. “Over the years we have tried all sorts of equipment from various manufacturers and what we operate with now suits us perfectly” he said.
Richard Fry, T H White’s area salesman, demonstrated all the equipment before they bought it, and subsequently they were extremely satisfied with the quality of the products. The Severinsen’s New Holland line-up now includes two TM155 tractors, a TX67 combine, a CX820 combine and an FX60 forage harvester.
The equipment doesn’t end there though! T H White also supplied three silage trailers, two KRM drills, a six metre and a four metre power harrow drill combination, not forgetting the five-furrow Kuhn plough and front and rear plain mowers.
