A DELIGHTED Tim Inman has scooped a £6,500 all terrain vehicle (ATV) in a national farming magazine competition.

Tim, who farms close to Malton, was presented with the Suzuki Quadmaster ATV by Adrian Denner, managing director of local Suzuki dealership RBM Agricultural Ltd, and Charles Bedforth, the zone sales manager at Suzuki GB.

The 450-acre farm has a strong dairy herd, around 100 beef cattle and some 200 acres of arable crop. It has been owned by the Inman family since the mid 1800s and Tim currently runs it in partnership with his brother.

He said: "It is a large area to cover and the new Suzuki ATV will be a major benefit to us."
