Going from strength to strength, year after year

MDE Machinery is a forward-thinking and imaginative manufacturer of tree shears, silage forks, buckrakes, and agri buckets.

The company is based just outside the small village of Markethill in Northern Ireland.

Following the company’s formation in 2013, founders Mark and Dean Belford say they are proud to have been leading the business into rapid yearly growth.

“As children we made our own toys to play with in the garden. Our dreams were that someday we would own a factory making toys for other children,” commented Mark.

“As the years progressed, so did our enthusiasm for engineering. We have never seen engineering as a job or career – it’s our passion!”

MDE Machinery makes tree shears, silage forks, and buckets for forestry and agricultural industries. The company’s attachments are designed for excavators, wheeled loaders, telehandlers, and tractors, and specifically designed and engineered to efficiently handle a wide range of material.

According to Dean, MDE’s vision and dream now is to become a global manufacturer of both agricultural and forestry machinery attachments that customers can really put their trust in.

Proving how quickly the business has grown in a relatively short time, MDE’s products currently can be found in 24 different countries – including as far away in New Zealand.

Mark and Dean say they are always striving to push the MDE brand globally, and welcome any international dealers to be part of their team.

MDE works closely with its customers and agricultural machinery dealers to improve and discover new products. The company’s ethos is that, in order to design world market-leading equipment, it needs to take on board its customers’ opinions and ideas, and is constantly developing new products and ideas.

Two examples within the forage and silage portfolio of products include the MDE Rhino Pak silo compactor, which is designed to increase silo capacity, reduce feed loss/spoilage reduce silage slippage, and provide access to hard roll areas; and the heavy-duty Falcon pushoff buckrake, which features Hardox tines as part of a heavy-duty construction, designed for strength.
