Generators for Agriculture & Farms
When the power goes out on a farm, it's never just the lights. The irrigation pump stops, the dairy shed stops, the cold room starts warming up, and none of it waits for the grid to come back. Macfarlane Generators has kept Australian farms running since 1949, sizing generators for what actually needs to start rather than whatever's on special that week.

Sized for the load that matters
Pumps and motors draw far more power starting up than they do running. Size a generator for irrigation pumps, bore pumps or grain dryers on running load alone, and it will struggle every time something kicks in. On a remote property, a generator that won't start on a cold morning is worth nothing, so reliable starting matters as much as raw kVA. Use our Power Calculator to get this right, or call us and we'll work through your setup with you.
Diesel or petrol generator for a working farm
Diesel suits properties where a regular refuelling run isn't practical, since it stores well and runs longer per tank than petrol. Where a property already has bulk fuel storage set up, that often settles the fuel type before size does. Talk to us about what's already in place on your property.
The generator brands suited to farm work
For pumps, sheds, remote power and drone charging, we point most farms toward Maxwatt, Pramac or Kubota. Tell us what you're running and we'll narrow it down.
