In this episode, we break down what happened to Rea Valley Tractors (RVT) after the company suddenly collapsed into administration in September 2025.
RVT’s collapse shows how quickly even large, established dealerships can fall in today’s high-cost, low-margin machinery market. Farmers now face increasingly tough decisions about buying used vs new — and where support will come from in the long term.
Using information from the official administrators' proposals, plus our first hand coverage of three major pre-sale auctions, we look at why RVT failed, what our visits revealed, and what this might mean for farmers and dealers moving into 2026.
