Harvesting Contractors of the FinestPeas, Sweet Corn & Green Beans in New Zealand
Countdown to Next Harvest
About Us
Tasman Harvester Contractors harvests peas, sweet corn and green beans throughout the Hawkes Bay and Manawatu for McCain Foods (Hastings) processing factory.
We operate a modern fleet of 6 Ploeger Pea Harvesters and 3 John Deere tractors with Hi-lift trailers during December and January for pea harvest. Two Ploeger Bean Harvesters and 2 Oxbo Corn Harvesters swing into action for Bean and Corn Harvest in February, March and April. The winter is spent overhauling the machines and support vehicles in our dedicated workshop to ensure all equipment is in perfect mechanical condition for the next harvest.
Tasman begun operations in 1987 and has been based out of our Omahu Road workshop and storage facility since 1988.
We have a staff of 7 permanent employees and require an additional 20 casual employees for the summer pea harvest. We hold a ‘Registered Contractor’ certification with Rural Contractors New Zealand.
