About us
Leith Engineering was officially registered as a manufacturer of agricultural machinery and provider of general repairs in 1980. However, the foundations of the business were laid decades earlier. Wally Leith began building and selling side trailers in 1960, followed by the introduction of the “drop spreader” in 1963. This innovative machine was designed and manufactured to enable the fast and efficient application of gypsum as a soil improver, addressing the practical needs of Australian farmers.
By the mid-1970s, the business had expanded significantly, employing local staff and increasing its manufacturing capacity. As demand grew, so did the product range.

Text about the brochure to go here. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and the typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
