Sumo UK Ltd

SUMO UK Ltd are a UK company specialising in the design and manufacture of innovative cultivation equipment for the farming industry around the world.

British designed and British built, all machines start life at our Melbourne Factory in East Yorkshire, giving us complete control of all we do.

We regularly attend shows and events throughout the UK and worldwide, exhibiting and demonstrating our machines and also supporting our dealers at open days. Our next upcoming show will be the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh from the 19th to the 22nd of June. We are situated on the 5th Avenue, stand 203.
Have a look at the shows and events page for more information on other shows and events we will be attending.

We also have a dedicated Sumo Genuine Parts Team on hand both at the office and out on the road visiting several shows and events. We believe when a customer purchases a machine they do so because of the build quality and design. Attention to detail and quality is replicated in our spare parts and is something we encourage customers to take advantage of.

We hope you will find what you're looking for here on our website, but please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.

Are you looking for a way to give your land an even finish this spring?
Why not take a look at the front sumo? The perfect addition to your machinery!

When used in combination with either wide, low pressure or dual wheels, the Sumo gives an even consolidation across the whole width on a 3m or 4m system, by eliminating the loose fluffy strip between the wheels.

The front linkage-mounted Front Sumo has a 1.5m standard frame with ripper tine mounting brackets and wing mounting points to enable the addition of ripper tines. These can be fitted in 3m or 4m kits, all are pin depth adjustable with shear bolt protection, and are run in either the vertical or laid-back position. Both 3m and 4m versions are manually folded for transport.
