Since June 2025, Roelf Tienstra has been part of the team at De Vries Cornjum BV. With hands-on experience in both agricultural contracting and at Lely, he’s a valuable addition to both our workshop and our field operations.

Roelf started his career as a Mechanic/Operator at a contracting company, spent four years operating an excavator, and later worked as a service technician at Lely. This broad background makes him a true all-rounder – someone who doesn’t shy away from a technical challenge. His passion lies in working on machines, but heading out into the field with our vehicles also appeals to him.

He’s 34 years old and lives in the Groningen part of De Wilp. Together with his girlfriend and dog, he enjoys the outdoors. In his spare time, Roelf is active in tractor pulling, competing in the standard class with his trusted John Deere 4640 (250 hp).

Colleagues appreciate his calm attitude and no-nonsense work ethic. A quiet force – a man of few, but the right words, and mostly of action. As we’d say in Friesland: a noflike man – (a pleasant guy)  to have around.

His motto?
“Just make good work. Wrench away, and keep things running.”

So far, a solid and dependable addition to the team – and he seems right at home already.
