The family-owned business was started in Birchip in 1964, and has since expanded to include branches in Warracknabeal, Horsham and Shepparton in Victoria plus Corowa in New South Wales and Bordertown in South Australia.
O’Connors Farm Machinery group operations manager Gareth Webb said the award came as a complete surprise.
He said it was a credit to everyone within the business.
“It’s such an important award and we’re honoured to receive it,” he said.
“There’s some amazing dealers in the Case IH network who we respect enormously so to win in this company is a significant achievement.
“At O’Connors Farm Machinery we strive as a team, we press hard and I think that gets us a fair way.”
HR manager Lisa Day paid tribute to Case IH and its team.
“I would like to say it is a real privilege to be in partnership with Case IH and we’re ready to consolidate the successes of 2017 as we progress into 2018,” she said.
Case IH Australia and New Zealand brand leader Bruce Healy also praised the efforts of the Wimmera company.
“Congratulations to O’Connors Farm Machinery on again taking out the dealer of the year title,” he said.
“They continue to raise the bar and have established a strong platform for success and, most importantly, ongoing advancement.”
