THE 4TH DIMENSION

“

With the extra torque the engine doesn’t die back when you’ve got the combine running at full capacity and you start unloading – you just keep going at the same pace.

”

Jason Turnbull and Neil Hutchinson, August 2015. LEXION 770TT.

State of the art technology and a host of new features take CLAAS HYBRID combines into a new dimension for 2016. PERFORMANCE “The new combine definitely has the edge over the older one in the power stakes. The new machine cut 58t/hour and burnt just 76-litres/hour. That’s a difference of 0.27 litres per tonne harvested – over 17% less fuel used than the 2011 machine.”

4D CLEANING “4D cleaning has really upped the new 770’s game. On side hills it’ll keep going at normal pace while the driver on the older machine has to pull the stick back. You also notice a difference when the combine drops down into a dip, levels off and then starts to climb again – the fan speed is now much quicker to react.”

ANTI-BLOCKAGE

GRAIN TANK “Having a bigger tank means that I can keep travelling that little bit longer than the older combine but what’s most impressive is how quickly it hoofs it out. I can get rid of a load that much quicker which means faster turnaround times for the chaser bin.”

WHY CLAAS? “The service we get from MANNS is absolutely spot-on and we know they’re backed up by CLAAS UK should we need it,” says Mr Turnbull. “Residual values are the strongest in the market and with the MAXI CARE service package we know exactly what our running costs will be for the 770s for the next seven years.” Bartlow Estates, August 2015. LEXION 770TT.

The new LEXION 700 series from CLAAS – increasing productivity, efficiency and profitability.

“Knowing it’s there quietly working away in the background has given me a lot more faith to really push the combine on, safe in the knowledge that I’m not going to block the whole machine up.”

Out and About with the FG team Farmers Guide rated top farming magazine in Cereals event survey Following a survey of farmer visitors at the Cereals event earlier this year, we thought we ought to share some of the results with you and, at the same time, do a little bit of ‘trumpet blowing’. It’s not something that comes naturally to us (trumpet blowing, that is) and normally we leave that up to others, but the results are something we are very proud of. We managed to coax a random collection of 300 farmers off the aisles at the Cereals event back in June to fill in an extensive questionnaire. The average farm size of those who participated was approximately 500ha (1,200 acres), farming well over 130,000ha between them. It’s important to reiterate at this point that the 300 were not ‘our’ readers we had lined up to participate in the survey, but typical arable farmers and managers attending a typical Cereals event in June. The first question they answered on the form was: Which magazines do you receive on your farm? Of great satisfaction from our point of view was the fact that 258 out of the 300 (86 per cent) said that they received Farmers Guide on their

farm. The closest to Farmers Guide’s impressive figure was Farmers Weekly, with 228 respondees (76 per cent) saying they received that title. After this, there was a big drop off in terms of other magazines being received on farm. Furthermore, when participants were asked to name the magazines that they spent the most time reading when they arrived on farm, Farmers Guide polled the most with 185 – that’s 71 per cent of those who receive Farmers Guide (see graph)! Again, Farmers Weekly came second but there was a greater drop off to other magazines and farmers’ preference for what they actually like to read on farm. The survey went on to suggest that our machinery and arable coverage was far more highly rated by readers compared with that of other weekly, monthly and specialist titles. This, combined with our highly popular classified section at the back of the magazine, makes Farmers Guide an indispensable package for the UK cereal farmer. That said, we are not a team to rest on our laurels. Thanks to the continued support of all of

And finally… A gas station owner in Mississippi was trying to increase his sales. So he put up a sign that read: ‘Free Sex with fill-up.’ Soon a local redneck pulled in, filled his tank and asked for his free sex. The owner told him to pick a number from 1–10 and, if he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex. The redneck guessed ‘8’, and the proprietor said: “You were close. The number was ‘7’. Sorry – no sex this time.” A week later, the same redneck, along with his buddy, Bubba, pulled in for another fill-up. Again he asked for his free sex. The proprietor again asked him to guess the correct number. The redneck guessed ‘2’ this time. The proprietor said: “Sorry, it was ‘3’. You were close, but no free sex this time.” As they were driving away, the redneck said to his buddy: “I think that game is rigged and he doesn’t really give away free sex.” Bubba replied: “No, it ain’t rigged. My wife won twice last week.” Thanks to New Zealand-based Farmers Guide reader Tanya Sadlier for this month’s joke. Do you have a joke to share?

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz

Grain Gossip The current world gossip on grain markets is around the lack of moisture in Eastern Europe and Australia. In Europe because of the effect on drilling, and in Australia the pending harvest. However, as I write, Eastern Europe has just had some rain that has had the effect of easing back on wheat values. The spot feed wheat price rose by £6–£8/t over the past month but today (Oct 15th) has dropped back and is valued at around £105/t locally for October and £1/t per month forward. Feed barley trails behind at around £102/t ex-farm but this is up by £10/t month on month. This should improve malting values but apart from the occasional shorts there is little activity from potential buyers and they still want to buy at the cheap end of the market. Although not good, these feed grain prices are a considerable improvement on the lows of September. Milling wheat is still only trading at £15–£20/t above feed but there is a shortage of buyers in the market. Overall I would summarise all grain trading as pretty negative and not conducive to tempting growers to sell. There has been disagreement in the level of UK production of wheat with the NFU talking about 16.6mt but AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds more recently producing a figure closer to 16.1mt. This will take a little pressure off export requirement but all export is going to be difficult with the total levels of production around Europe. Variety sales show that Group 1 Skyfall is likely to take up to 20 per cent of drillings this season and this will put Group 1 and Group 2 varieties at over 35 per cent of the area. This will no doubt continue to reduce premiums for milling wheat.

Fertiliser Fragments There is considerable concern in the UK fertiliser industry on the season sales of P & K with farmers short of cash and taking further PK holidays after a year of high grain yields which will have depleted soil reserves further. It is all too easy to omit P & K applications as a way of saving money. Howerver it is a dangerous route to take as I have so often said in this column over the years. Groweßrs should at the very least get their soil tested before embarking on this policy. Meanwhile the value of nitrogen remains flat in a market which is just non-active. Early buyers are unhappy about the lack of benefit from buying early when they could have left funds in the bank and, as they are currently not selling grain, so have no income stream. This lack of buying is repeated across the world as so many producers have a cash flow problem. The price increase I spoke of last month imposed by Yara in Europe apparently did not stick due to buying resistance. PotashCorp of Canada has recently withdrawn its offer to buy German company K+S following K+S’ rejection on the grounds that the offer was insufficient and not in the best interests of the company, and the fact that it could take jobs out of the country.

Rugby Ramblings The knives are out for Stuart Lancaster in a big way as the scorpions emerge from the bushes. It seems that some individuals want to be a turncoat just to make the headlines. We can all find reasons in hindsight as to why something went wrong, or why someone got it wrong, and, yes, I have my own opinions as to why England are no longer in the World Cup. Firstly, captain Chris Robshaw made the fundamental mistake of deciding on not to take a penalty in the last five minutes against the Welsh. He should therefore be replaced as England captain for this bad mistake. us in the cup and There

At last we have had some good weather to allow drilling to go forward at pace. As we enter the second half of October with little rain, although eastern counties and the south east of England have been experiencing cold winds from the NE quarter, much drilling has been completed in good soil conditions. There may be a few problems with late-drilled oilseed rape, due to wet conditions at the normal planting time, but we must wait and see. The announcement this week of the £68 billion merger of two brewery giants Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller has rocked the brewing and malting world. The new company will control around 30 per cent of world brewing. The main driver in this takeover was the need for Belgium AB InBev to get into the African market where London based SABMiller has a strong holding. Across the whole brewing industry there is talk of a range of other takeovers in the near future. This will no doubt lead to significant changes in the malting industry as well going forward.

was every chance that the strength of Farrel’s kicking would have succeeded and a draw would have kept us in the cup. I can only think that in his mind was the (ultimately successful) decision by Japan to go for this tactic against South Africa. In addition (sorry mate!) but there are others more capable of playing in the back row! Also, the team needs to change its policy of a number 12 who is not good at ball passing and is a head down charger. Finally, England needs to revise the forward’s policy on rucking – we are too slow! That is enough to put right for starters. We no doubt shall see a continuing debate for some weeks on this subject but my view is Lancaster should stay at least until after the next Six Nations, but I guess that may not happen. ■

“My oilseed rape yield grown with KAN was verified on a weighbridge at over 2 tonne per acre/5 tonne per hectare - proof to me that the product worked,”

“... Spreads to 36 metres in the right conditions and it is as good as an equivalent AN. In our spreader trials it has performed really well,”

“The savings compared to AN are quite considerable. We are probably doing a third more in a day and we use less diesel and have less bags to get rid of,”

Field f cus Talk of record yields from harvest and very good progress with autumn drilling and crop establishment has put our agronomists on the front foot this month. Dominic Kilburn writes.

East Midlands Speaking in mid-October, Nottinghamshirebased agronomist Christina Scarborough estimated that 60 per cent of drilling had been completed in the region, with good seedbeds and growing conditions to date. “Things are a little delayed in terms of drilling and while some of that could be because growers are holding off and maximising their black-grass control opportunities, I think it’s probably more about the delayed harvest, with crops such as beans and linseed, in particular, being late.” With plenty of sunshine and soil moisture, she said that some of the more forward oilseed rape crops were already at the 6-true leaves stage and the majority of crops between 3–6-true leaves. “There have been no real flea beetle problems in the area with just a few farms needing one pyrethroid spray. Most crops have got away quickly which has helped,” she pointed out. “Phoma was expected in crops early and we have moderate levels in some of the more sheltered fields, where there has been less of a breeze passing through, and where more humid conditions have seen the build up of disease,” she

explained. “I recommended Refinzar (penthiopyrad + picoxystrobin) for control of phoma on some crops and which also comes with the claim of root enhancement,” said Christina. “It will be interesting to see if there is a difference between those crops that have received it and those that haven’t, particularly if we get a dry period and better rooting enhances nutrient uptake.” The late autumn weather will determine if oilseed rape crops continue to go through the growth stages rapidly and whether a metconazole-type growth regulator is used should more phoma protection be required, she added. Currently there is relatively high pressure from slugs across all crops but a managed approach of control using ferric phosphate pellets is working well, said Christina. Wheats have gone into nice seedbeds and established well with all those drilled to date having received a “proper” pre-emergence programme, which should stand growers well in terms of black-grass control. “On the whole growers seem to have opted for the tried and tested, safer, varieties such as Grafton and JB Diego: good, leafy varieties wellsuited for the clamps on the mixed farms. “Revelation seems to be the pick of the newer varieties on offer being grown for the open market,” she added.

New grass leys have gone in this autumn and establishment has been exceptional – one of the best years Christina can remember. This has helped crops get away from pests such as wireworm and bodes well for growers to better utilise crops in the spring, she pointed out. November 26th should be the date on everyone’s mind, she highlighted, who is currently operating a sprayer under Grandfather Rights, but has not gained the Certificate of Competence required to continue spraying after that date. “My growers who have put in for the test this autumn have all passed having waited to get harvest out of the way to free up some stubble in order to take the practical side of it. “The theory part was relatively straight forward with some guidebook revision and tuition from me,” she concluded. Christina can be contacted via email: Christina@cjsagronomy. co.uk or tel: 07969507082.

Northumberland On the back of some of the best yields ever this harvest, Northumberland AICC agronomist Jim Callighan said that it had been a phenomenal season all round. “Everything has gone right including a dry autumn in 2014, a cool, bright spring with adequate moisture, relatively low disease pressure during the year and lots of bright sunshine which led to a very long grain fill,” he commented. In addition, progress this autumn has been very good and by mid-October the last remnants

of harvest were being completed and as much as 90 per cent of new season crops were in the ground, and all into good seedbeds – with none having to be “puddled in”. “It’s given everyone a bit of a lift,” continued Jim. “There’s not much we can do about commodity prices but if we get the establishment and management of the crops right it gives us the best chance of achieving some good yields,” he said. Prolonged sunshine has meant that early-drilled wheats have established very well. Where required, wheat and barley crops received a preemergence spray for brome, based on flufenacet, and recent moisture has prompted good control, while, in the absence of brome, crops will have received an early post-emergence application of Lexus (flupyrsulfuron) or Absolute (diflufenican + flupyrsulfuron) + Picona (pendimethalin + picolinafen), aimed at annual meadow grass and broad-leaved weeds. Although applied at post-em for wheat, Lexus mixtures will be used at pre-em for barley, added Jim. Oilseed rape crops all established well off the back of subsoilers and are currently looking in good condition; the most forward crops at 7-true leaves but 3–5-true leaves being typical. Because it has been relatively dry in recent weeks slug pressure remains low, as has been flea beetle pressure, and next on the agronomic agenda is the consideration, in November, of a light leaf spot and/ or phoma spray, likely to include growth regulator tebuconazole/metconazole on well advanced crops.

Miscanthus trials could provide solution for ﬂood plain problems Farmers looking for a crop to grow on flood-prone land, to simultaneously improve soil health without the need to apply additional fertiliser, may soon have the answer. This is thanks to some new trials being jointly-run by the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth University, and miscanthus supply chain specialist, Terravesta. Some 18 months from the headline-hitting flooding of the Somerset Levels, these cutting edge trials are set to examine how the energy crop, miscanthus, copes with flooding. The trials are being funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and will cover a two-year period. “We know miscanthus has the ability to tolerate flooding when it’s mature, but there’s a gap in the data about its tolerance during its establishment stage, and this is during the first two years of growth,” says Aberystwyth University plant physiologist, Dr Sarah Purdy. “What’s really exciting about these trials is that we’re also going to analyse the health of the soil when compared to other land-uses,” says Sarah. The trials will see miscanthus grown on commercial floodprone sites, on plot-scale sites and in controlled environments such as under glass. They will monitor how the crop copes with prolonged flooding, particularly in its establishment stage, and analyse the structure and nutritional health of the soil under the miscanthus field sites. “We believe miscanthus may be beneficial to soil because this perennial crop has a life cycle lasting up to 20 years in which

time the soil experiences no tillage, just an annual harvest. So the soil can maintain its structure which promotes colonisation by beneficial microbes and creatures such as earthworms. Miscanthus has a large under-ground rhizome which recycles nitrogen and other essential nutrients from the stems before harvest so that no fertiliser needs to be applied to achieve high yields,” she says. “The implications for farmers struggling to grow crops on waterlogged land, are vast,” Sarah continues. “If the nutrient recycling benefits offered by miscanthus can still promote healthy growth after a flood event, growers could reduce expenditure on rehabilitating land through fertiliser application by growing this crop. “The trials will also be able to establish whether the crop has multiple uses, such as increasing soil stability, restoring water-damaged soils and mopping up nutrients on the edges of waterways,” she says. According to Sarah, some crop will be analysed during its establishment phase (the first two years of growth), and some mature four to six year old miscanthus crops will be monitored, for comparison.

European study One of the sites testing established crops is also part of another major miscanthus research project called OPTIMISC (Optimising Miscanthus Biomass Production) a study located in multiple locations across Europe including Aberystwyth. “This land has been part of the OPTIMISC trials that have been looking at the impact of climate on different genotypes of miscanthus. The sites will be tested as part of the flood plains project, because the Aberystwyth field site

is located on low-grade land that’s waterlogged for most of the winter. Despite this, the yields from some of the genotypes are very promising even on this land,” says Sarah. “We will also be monitoring plant performance and soil health under a mature field site in the Somerset levels that’s prone to annual flooding. This allows us to scale our research up from laboratory based studies, to plot scale field trials, to commercial plantations,” says Sarah. Terravesta, the miscanthus supply chain specialist, is the trial’s project partner, providing land to be tested on the Somerset levels. The land is operated by Terravesta’s southern region manager, Mike Cooper. Mike manages the rhizome supply to other growers, but also grows crop supplying Terravesta, for biomass pelleting. He already successfully grows some of the cropping area on flood-prone land. “We’ve believed for a long time that miscanthus improves

Big yields will help carry lower crop prices Grain marketing and farm inputs business Frontier recently hosted a ‘Harvest Review’ at its Lincolnshire HQ. Dominic Kilburn reports. Significant yields from this year’s harvest means that there will not be a shortage of grain next year and flat prices will remain a dominant feature of the markets for the time being. Those were the opening thoughts of Frontier grain director Simon Christensen (right) speaking at a ‘Harvest Review’ hosted at the company’s Lincolnshire base earlier this autumn. He said that, globally, wheat production was significantly up this year while the total UK wheat crop was likely to top 16.5mt by the time final figures are confirmed. “That does leave a big exportable surplus of around 3mt to be shipped and, with the strength of sterling in recent months not helping, exports are behind where they typically might be at this stage of the year,” commented Mr Christensen. “We certainly have the quality but we don’t have the buying interest at the moment that we need for the UK exports to connect with. Baltic nations and others, like the French, are selling into places we might normally sell, for example at this time last year we were selling into Africa but the French are exporting there this year,” he explained. “We don’t see an upside to prices at the moment with the surplus of crop in the UK and globally, so our advice to growers is that if they see any kind of uplift in the market price

There’s no doubting the quality or quantity of the UK wheat crop but there is a lack of buying interest at the moment needed for UK exports to find suitable markets.

then they should sell into it,” he stressed. “The farmer is currently, understandably, a reluctant seller, but he has enjoyed better yields which will help carry the lower prices.”

More milling wheat Mr Christensen suggested that growers were likely to put more milling wheat in the ground this autumn on the back of good yields and good proteins achieved at harvest by the Group 1 frontrunners. “Skyfall captured some very good yield and proteins through good husbandry,” he added. “With a milling premium currently £10–£20 over feed wheat, there will be more milling varieties in the ground this season than last which, in turn, may put pressure on the premium as traditional and nontraditional milling wheat growers consider these newer, high yielding Group 1 varieties.” In summary, he predicted that nabim Group 1 and Group 4 varieties would increase in area grown for 2015-2016 season, while Group 2 and Group 3 varieties would lose ground. “When prices are low like they are at the moment growers are going all out for yield,” he added.

Barley yields better He said that barley yields in the UK had been better than originally anticipated, particularly so in winter crops. As a result, he expected both

winter and spring areas to increase this season; barley providing the additional agronomic benefit of helping out with black-grass control. “There is a decent surplus of barley of which feed is relatively competitive although it’s difficult to move it to ports at £100/t or below, but that can change very quickly,” he said. “With the distilling market facing a downturn at the moment as whisky exports to China and India slow down, so the demand for spring malting barley has also slowed,” he continued. “The quality of the malting crop is good but, again, the strong sterling is not helping with exports which is the missing piece of the jigsaw.”

On the pulse According to Frontier pulse manager, Andy Bury (right), as much as 30 per cent more bean crop area was harvested this year compared with last, producing a significantly bigger crop. He suggested that yields in the south and east were average, due to some hot weather in the middle of the summer, with yields increasing the further north they were grown. “Winter beans in the south of the country were bright with good colour and although the threat from bruchid was variable, it was also manageable,” he said. “Like the yields, colour also improved further north and a late harvest for some didn’t affect quality significantly.” Mr Bury highlighted that, conversely, the French crop was of poor quality and yield which would likely have a detrimental affect on the French area put down to beans for this season.

“There is a great opportunity for the marketing of UK beans although one can’t rule out the competition from crops in the Baltic states which increased by 25 per cent this season. “That said, buyers are never sure of the quality that they are going to get from the under-developed markets such as these,” he added.

Two UK markets According to Mr Bury, there is a significant increase in domestic demand for UK-grown beans for animal feed, with compounders using them as a replacement for soya beans in cattle rations. “This looks to be a sustainable market going forward with good domestic demand as well as exporting options for human consumption,” he said, pointing out that feed beans currently had a premium of £15/t over feed wheat, while beans for human consumption were worth £20/t more. “Because of CAP reform, the three-crop rule, a requirement for more spring cropping due to black-grass and a strong domestic market, I still think we will see another bean planting increase for this season,” he added. The outlook for peas was not so encouraging, commented Mr Bury, with a large crop harvested this year (15 per cent up) combined with a carryover of last year’s. “Demand for micronizing is down and value for good quality blue peas at £150–160/t or below. “There is competition from France, the Baltic countries and Canada. It’s a tough market and so the outlook is not so good,” he concluded. ■

Arable

Time to be proactive with cash ﬂow management Arable farms face a cash erosion over the next 18 months and careful planning will be needed to minimise the impact. Better wheat yields this harvest will only provide short-term relief, especially on farms with rent to pay, warns an agricultural business consultant. Brown & Co’s farm budgeting model reveals the typical situation many progressive growers will face through to the end of 2017. ‘Brown’s Farm’ is based on a typical eastern counties arable unit with 420ha (1,040 acres) of land in total, 20ha of which is pasture, 10ha is down to environmental stewardship and 4ha of game cover. Rented land accounts for 160ha (400 acres) of the total, growing mixed combinable crops and sugar beet. “Most crops were about on budget this harvest, but wheat crops yielded 10–15 per cent more on average, producing an extra £25,000 in cash over the most recent budget,” says Brown & Co’s agricultural business consultant Tim Young. “Currently the position doesn’t look too bad; there is still £100,000 of headroom on the overdraft and all grain sales are still to be made. “Despite that, the cash position will continue to tighten. The current overdraft stands at around £300,000, and the current limit of £400,000 could be breached by spring 2016, before declining by a further £100,000 towards the end of the 2016/17 financial year.” Growers need to scrutinise 2016/17 budgets to identify how big a problem their own business might be facing, Mr Young advises. “Net farm income for 2016/17, including BPS receipts, is in the red, but only by £15,407. However, this ignores the fact that well over £52,000 has been allocated for private purposes, including personal drawings, school fees, pension contributions and tax, and a further £26,000 in other bank drawings arising from changes in capital items,

mainly due to machinery purchases and financing. “These figures will be typical for many arable businesses – the overall effect at Brown’s Farm shows cash declining by almost £80,000, rather than £15,000.” The business should lock down on spending where possible, with the above private drawings being the first target, he advises. “Pensions contributions should be reviewed in the short term, and a review of overall drawings will now be appropriate.” Rent and finance costs of just under £140,000, serviceable before the recent commodity price crash, now stand out as a key problem, says Mr Young. “At £200/acre for the rented land, Browns Farm’s rental equivalent is almost £203/ha, or £79,000. Finance costs, including bank charges and various loan interests, amount to almost £61,000. These overheads are now really hurting.” Plenty of owner-occupiers who have borrowed to buy land will be facing similar costs, he adds. “Farmers who are paying £200+/acre for arable land or the equivalent without fully assessing the impact on the existing business are going to really struggle in the short term.”

Higher overdraft The obvious solution at Browns farm is to negotiate a higher overdraft, but the bank manager may be reluctant to do this on the back of recent increases in working capital requirement. A better solution might be to secure the core £300,000 overdraft on a long-term loan, says Mr Young.

“This could be fixed at around 4 per cent over 25 years depending upon existing gearing. That might be a slightly higher rate than the overdraft, but it would reduce projected peak borrowing from almost £490,000 at the 2016/17 year end to £190,000, and reduces risk to the business, improving the business' liquidity ratio (current assets v current liabilities).” A rent review is scheduled in September 2016, but the current £200/acre rent is likely to reflect the market rate. Serving notice to quit is not a good option as the business is geared to farm almost 400ha (980 acres), Mr Young advises. “A further consideration affecting cashflow is the anticipated receipt of the Basic Payment monies. Although we are buoyed by repeated press announcements of a December roll out and recent confirmation of some entitlements transfers, Brown’s Farm remains cautious with BPS receipts budgeted for May – hopefully a worst case scenario.” “It might be better to ask if the business could farm more land through a contracting enterprise. There might be an opportunity in some parts of the business where there is headroom in labour and machinery, for example combining.” The other alternative is to put

the whole farm in a contract farming agreement, says Mr Young, allowing the business to liquidate some assets while maintaining its trading status. “This would, however, be a wholescale change and must therefore be considered not as a kneejerk reaction but as a more structural change planned to include succession and longer term aims of the family. “In summary, the overall position of the business is not in danger, but it is uncomfortable to be going backwards by £100,000 per year,” says Mr Young. “A full analysis of the 2016/17 budget is needed to reveal the real picture and the steps required to help businesses weather the current commodity price downturn. “There are options available to farmers in this position, but it is vital to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to managing cashflow.” ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE Patience with seedbed preparation and timely pre-em sprays are vital strategies with late-sown winter wheat, advises our Norfolkbased agronomist.

Most growers have some wheat left to drill and, with care, excellent crops can still be achieved, says Agrovista’s Craig Green, who points out that many are delaying operations on land affected by difficult black-grass. Others have fields to sow following maize or sugar beet. Whatever the reason, patience is the key, Craig advises. “We need to ensure nothing is mauled in. A poor seedbed means a poor crop.” Wheelings will need to be removed after maize, he notes. After beet, he advises lifting compacted soils to let further rain percolate through before considering the options. “If you can drill, even if that means waiting for a frost, then do so, otherwise consider leaving the field for spring barley or oats.” Where wheat is sown this autumn, Craig advises following with pre-emergence chemistry immediately the drill has left the field to ensure optimum control of blackgrass and other problem weeds. “If you can drill, you can roll and spray – that way nothing gets missed, and you’ll reap the maximum benefits of delayed drilling.”

Spray recommendations Craig is including Avadex (tri-allate) in all his spray recommendations. “I don’t worry which order the chemistry goes on – the important thing is to get it on,” he says. He’ll advise Herold (diflufenican + flufenacet) plus Liberator (diflufenican + flufenacet), each at 0.3-litres/ha, to provide 240g of flufenacet and 90g/ha of DFF, plus Anthem (pendimethalin) at

3-litres/ha to provide 1,200g/ha of pendimethalin, preceded or followed by full-rate Avadex. “Avadex must be applied accurately to optimise control. A boom applicator is best, but for most people this means hiring in a contractor. It can be applied from a granule distributor mounted on the drill or rolls, but this must be calibrated properly.” Craig will also add Remix, an oilbased adjuvant, to his pre-em spray. Agrovista trials show this can provide an extra five per cent control of blackgrass by holding the chemical in the surface layer of the soil, especially important with later drillings when rainfall is likely to increase. “Remix keeps the chemistry working for longer without adding much to the price,” adds Craig.

Slug alert Slugs should also be monitored carefully. “Seedbeds are likely to have more clod so there will be more open seed and conditions will be damper. Drains are likely to be running, or to do so soon after rain, so I’ll avoid metaldehyde and use ferric phosphate instead.” Once conditions deteriorate and good seedbeds can no longer be achieved, there is no point in forcing seedbeds, he stresses. “Things are best left until spring. If wheat remains the first choice, some varieties can be drilled safely through February, it may be better to opt for a true spring variety such as KWS Willow or Mulika. “They are both capable of producing high yields as well as thick canopies that help smother out

spring-germinating black-grass.”

Phoma infection The phoma threat to oilseed rape raised in last month’s report has become a reality, with infection noted at the time of writing in west Norfolk, says Craig (right). Growers should spray when 10–20 per cent of plants are infected with at least one lesion, says Craig. “Smaller crops are at higher risk as infection grows down the leaf petiole into the stem, so it has less distance to travel. Nights are now colder, and crop growth is slowing, so the risk of phoma in these crops is increasing.” Small plants should be treated with a low 0.25-litres/ha dose of Difcor (difenoconazole) plus amino acid product TerraSorb at 2-litres/ ha to boost vigour. “Backward crops need pepping up to help them develop enough going into the winter.” This should be followed by a November-applied Frelizon (penthiopyrad + picoxystrobin) at 0.5-litres/ha to control light leaf

spot and will mop up remaining phoma. This can be applied with Kerb (propyzamide) or Crawler (carbetamide), he adds. Caryx (mepiquat chloride + metconazole) will replace Difcor as the first treatment on bigger crops to provide early growth regulation as well as disease control. Craig recommends 1-litre/ha. “Watch out for late aphids too,” he adds. “Spray 0.3-litres/ha of Biscaya (thiacloprid) as soon as they are seen to help prevent the transmission of turnip yellows virus.” *Craig Green is an agronomist with Agrovista, based at Great Ellingham, Norfolk (Craig.Green@ agrovista.co.uk). ■

Emergency approval granted for control of TuYV vector Emergency authorisation from the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) has been granted for the use of an aphicide for the control of the peach potato aphid (myzus persicae) in oilseed rape. Since the ban on neonicotinoid seed treatments the threat of turnip yellows virus (TuYV) has increased, says Belchim Crop Protection, which points out that existing options available for control of the virus spreading aphid are very limited. A neonicotinoid foliar spray applied at the cotyledon crop stage for flea beetle control restricts the

options even further as this timing is too early for aphid control and as only one neonicotinoid application is allowed in the autumn on OSR, this rules out any subsequent spray for aphid control later on, says Belchim. “As the peach potato aphid has resistance to pyrethroids, there are now very few options remaining for aphid control and TuYV reduction in the crop, so the addition of Teppeki (flonicamid) to the armoury will be welcomed by both growers and agronomists,” says Belchim marketing and development manager Simon Leak.

Fungicides playing key role in pushing up OSR yields Timely drilling, soil fertility and minimal soil movement are key criteria for helping oilseed rape achieve its full yield potential according to Yorkshire arable farmer Steve Tuer of Hutton Grange Farm near Northallerton, but the icing on the cake is a robust fungicide programme. “Our soils are generally very fertile because we used to be dairy farmers and we now have a 1,200 sow breeding and finishing enterprise so the soils are rich in organic matter. The very high nutritional value of the organic manure means that no P&K has been applied to the land for about 15 years,” says Mr Tuer who this year achieved the ‘unofficial’ world record oilseed rape yield of 7.2t/ ha with his crop of hybrid variety Incentive. “About 50 per cent of our pig slurry is applied to the land in the autumn with the other half going on to the growing crop in the spring. Land nearest the yard is treated with the slurry applied via

Agronomist Chris Martin.

an umbilical system in the spring.” The 400ha (1,000 acre) arable business also grows first and second feed wheat and feed barley, much of which goes into the pig unit. Soils range from heavy clay through to mostly clay loam with some sand pockets. Mr Tuer establishes oilseed rape using a minimal cultivation system based on a pass with a five-leg deep cultivator plus shallow disc and packer, followed by rolling to conserve moisture and encourage a weed chit. “The key to achieving good oilseed rape establishment is to drill into a consolidated seedbed but with minimal soil movement,” he says. Mr Tuer is convinced that timely drilling and low seed rates – 35plants/m2 – has been a major contributing factor in his oilseed rape consistently achieving high yields. This year he drilled 80ha (200 acres) of oilseed rape in two days on September 5th and 6th. In 2014 the whole crop was drilled between September 1st and 6th and it was the last field drilled on September 6th that achieved the record of 7.2t/ha. “It has always been a management decision not to drill oilseed rape too early because it would put us under pressure and it’s a false economy as crops end up being too far forward before the winter, and then needing a PGR to hold them back. The problem with most PGRs is that they don’t offer the same fungicidal properties as non-PGR products. We are looking for an open canopy as the crop comes into the winter period. “I’m BASIS trained but I rely

on my agronomist Chris Martin of Agrovista to come up with an appropriate cost-effective and timely fungicide programme that will help to maximise the yield potential of the crop.”

Light leaf spot threat Light leaf spot is the main disease threat on his farm and it has the potential to decimate yield if left unchecked, which means an early applied and proven fungicide, says Mr Tuer. According to Mr Martin the first light leaf spot fungicide of choice is Frelizon (penthiopyrad + picoxystrobin), which needs to be applied late October to early November and followed up with an early (February timing) spring triazole-based fungicide such as Monkey (prochloraz + tebuconazole). “It’s important to keep the crop free from light leaf spot throughout the whole growing season starting from the autumn as this is when the primordial are formed,” he says. “The key is to maximise seed number by building a healthy crop with a green area index of around 3.5–4 at the end of flowering, and then keep the crop healthy and photosynthesising for as long as possible in order to fill the seeds. An appropriate autumn fungicide is key to achieving this. “We have seen some excellent trial data to support Frelizon and its ability to control light leaf spot. It is the strobilurin picoxystrobin which is found in Galileo that has been particularly effective against the disease. A timely application of Frelizon – around bonfire night – should protect against both phoma and light leaf spot.”

Yorkshire arable farmer Steve Tuer.

Mr Tuer looks to the fungicides to give him the best return on investment. They are the equivalent to the fuel in a Formula One racing car, he says. A split sclerotinia spray using Recital (fluopyram + prothioconazole) at early/midflowering followed three weeks later by Proline (prothioconazole) mixed with foliar nitrogen completes the fungicide programme. “Normal practice is to time nitrogen applications to build this perfect canopy containing lots of green leaf at flowering ensuring efficient photosynthesis during this key period. Foliar nitrogen is then applied at the end of flowering to prolong green area duration,” says Mr Martin. Organic manures in the form of bulky farmyard manure and slurry are also utilised efficiently to fertilise the crops and improve organic matter. The available nutrients from these are deducted from the inorganic fertiliser programme. Mr Truer reckons that the saving on bought-in fertiliser by supplementing with slurry is about £18,000 a year. ■

About People Area sales manager for northern area Dan-Corn Ltd has recently appointed Neil Baker as its northern area sales manager. Neil is well located in the region to support and supply customers with complete solutions for their grain storage and drying needs, says the company. “Parts of the northern area have particularly challenging conditions for successfully drying

and storing grain and in many ways the later harvest, and often wetter conditions, in the region can have more in common with Scandinavia than with the rest of the UK. I feel that the Dan-Corn stirring drying silos and mobile dryers that have proven to be so successful in Scandinavia are also perfect for the more challenging areas of the UK,” commented Neil. Neil can be contacted on 07921 211031 or by email at nba@ dancorn.com.

Tim said: “I am passionate about engineering and to be recognised in this way is a fantastic honour, not only for me but for the whole engineering team at JCB.” At JCB, Mr Burnhope has worked in the roles of engineering manager and then managing director of the Loadall Business Unit eventually becoming managing director of both the Loadall and Backhoe Business units. In June 2006 Tim joined JCB Sales as director of European sales and in 2008 became managing director of JCB Sales Limited.

New sales appointment at JD dealer The Doubleday Group, main John Deere dealers for Lincolnshire and Norfolk, is appointing Dan Parker as agricultural sales representative.

Sales team strengthened Collings Brothers is strengthening its sales team at its Brigstock depot. Ben Wood, who has been with the company for nearly two years, has undertaken sales training at the Abbotsley depot and is now covering an area of southern Northants, and west Cambridgeshire.

In brief...

Branding moves with the times A new branding and business structure for Claas southern dealerships reflects the company’s status as a full-line supplier and the expansion of its dealers from singleto multi-branch businesses covering wider geographical areas. Southern Harvesters is being renamed Claas Southern, trading from its rebranded Southern Ashford and Southern Petworth branches in Kent and Sussex respectively. As part of the re-organisation,

the Southern Harvesters branch at Cane End near Reading, and its staff, are being transferred to Oliver Agriculture and will now trade as Olivers Reading. In addition, the Hampshire branch and its staff at Micheldever are being transferred to the Western Harvesters business, with the business name changing to Claas Western and the branch name rebranded Western Winchester. The other branches within

Claas Western are being rebranded Western Dorchester, Western Frome, Western Evesham and Western Marlborough. This new structure came into effect from 1st October. And, at the end of the month, the longestablished Mill Engineers branch at Bibury relocated to new purposebuilt premises alongside Cirencester cattle market, where it will trade as Western Cirencester, part of the Claas Western business.

Rural Advice

Plan ahead to protect your ﬁnances Plan ahead to counter the combined effect of lower incomes from commodity prices and potential end of year cash flow problems, says Carter Jonas rural partner, Mark Russell. What an odd harvest some people had this year. One glitch with the combine to delay work by a day, and then an unwelcome shower or two, made all the difference for some people between making hay, so to speak, and finding the crop had far less value than a hill of beans. Even in purely arable areas, few people can have missed the focus on the travails of the dairy farmers. But livestock sectors have also suffered with supermarkets criticised this summer for heavy stocking of New Zealand lamb just as British lamb output reached its peak, leaving producers to find they were also facing a diminished market. With no agricultural sector seemingly safe this autumn from dwindling incomes as both world commodity prices and British weather conditions pour rain on

the parade, it’s also time to face up to possible delays in BPS payments which are due in December. The RPA is struggling under the new system to check all the applications for accuracy. Worse still, payments will be based on the lowest exchange rate for eight years, just 73.14p/euro. Perhaps, understandably, RPA is reluctant to make early payments that could bring possible errors and attract penalties from EU bureaucrats, even though those same officials have supposedly released funds early to ensure struggling farmers see some respite. The message therefore is probably not to wait for an official lifeline to be thrown but instead plan ahead to counter the combined effect of lower incomes from commodity prices and the end of year cashflow strangulation if BPS payments are delayed.

A listening bank? Talking to your bank manager sooner rather than later is the best course of action as he will more readily assist a customer who has considered forward planning and realises there will be a looming cashflow issue. The obvious answer is extending the overdraft but there are other options, such as AMC’s five year Flexible Facility. As the name suggests, it allows drawdown of funds to an agreed limit as and when needed with repayments to suit individual business needs. Another key feature, unlike a number of banks, is that there are no annual reviews so the facility can provide a guaranteed source of working capital for five years. Carter Jonas has many years’ of experience helping farmers as appointed AMC agents and, although it may seem obvious, our first advice would be not to contemplate any borrowing that the business cannot realistically afford to repay. Planning ahead is the key to keep your farming business

running on an even keel, and with that in mind it’s also worth reviewing your complete holding and just how much of it is working efficiently for your business. As we look back at the peak of land values there are still strong values to take if the right purchaser is identified. Areas that remain under utilised are all very well, but they carry a cost because they lock up capital that should be earning. If you are borrowing, to fund short-term cashflow or long-term investment, look first at how your assets are used and whether the disposal of some could provide the finance for other activities. Disposals need careful planning – with the pressure to build more homes, land on the fringes of towns and villages may have greater value now than ever before. One acre of potential housing land will fund many acres of farmland or can be used to update equipment making farming operations more economical.

Mean and green drilling machines The brand new EasyDrill (left) and MaxiDrill trailed drills from Opico will be on public display at Lamma in January.

Two new contenders for the UK trailed drill market will be available to growers in 2016, with a distributor claim of increased flexibility of use and longer operational windows. Dominic Kilburn was one of the first to see the new drills in action. Machinery importer and distributor Opico is set to launch two trailed drill ranges on to the UK market: one suited to a wide range of operations including direct drilling, minimum tillage and the ability to drill direct into cover crops; the other a high speed min-till and conventional cultivator drill claimed to have the potential to extend drilling windows at more challenging times of the season. Manufactured by French company Sky Agriculture and finished in a distinctive lime green livery, the EasyDrill and MaxiDrill ranges will be on public display in this country for the first time at January’s Lamma 2016 event at the East of England Showground. According to Opico, which announced the new supply agreement in late September, the new drills will be sold through its He-Va dealership network in the UK, alongside the well-established range of He-Va cultivation equipment. “Over the past 10 years, Opico has provided a lot of input into product development with He-Va,” pointed out managing director James Woolway (right). “The result is a market-leading range of cultivation machinery, specifically designed for UK conditions and cultivation techniques. “However, our customers and dealers were missing a drill range which would complement He-Va’s cultivations machinery. With the new agreement with Sky-Agriculture, they now have two innovatively-designed trailed drills to choose from,” he commented.

Increased flexibility Although classified as a direct drill, the EasyDrill range, which features 8 models from 3–6m working widths (see box below), offers growers increased flexibility to drill in varied conditions. Its maximum 250kg/disc coulter pressure allows it to operate as a direct drill but, when used in mintill or conventional drilling systems, weight is shifted more to the drill’s front press wheel to ensure that the soil, which the seeding disc cuts into, is firm. Speaking at the event was Sky Agriculture’s product specialist Christophe Decarville and he stressed that the 3.5-degree angle of the coulter discs on the EasyDrill delivered several advantages. “At that angle, there is minimal soil disturbance which is important in direct drilling situations on land where weeds such as black-grass are a problem – less movement of soil reduces weed emergence.” He highlighted French independent trials work that took place in 2014 and which compared weed emergence numbers in October after 10 different direct and min-till drills had drilled wheat in September. According to the research, the average weed establishment figure of the 10 drills was 7.5 weeds/m2 – the highest number for a drill being 26.7 weeds/m2, and the lowest (the Easydrill) at zero weeds/m2. “In addition, the reduced disc angle means less power and fuel is required to operate the drill,” he added, pointing out that tractor power requirement for the smallest (3m) EasyDrill starts at 80hp, rising to 180hp for the 6m.

The EasyDrill offers growers increased flexibility of use, says Opico.

Sky Agriculture’s product specialist Christophe Decarville highlights the EasyDrill’s disc coulter arrangement.

New drills at a glance The EasyDrill is available in working widths from 3–6m (3 and 4m box drills, and 4 and 6m folding air drills). Power requirement is 80–180hp and drilling speeds up to 12kph are recommended. Models can be built for grain only, or for grain and fertiliser and hopper capacities are from 1,450 (+550)–4,100 litres. The price of a 3m EasyDrill starts at £42,233, and a 6m EasyDrill starts at £89,164. A 6m model complete with seed and fertiliser hoppers and Pro hopper, hydraulic brakes, bout markers and pre-emergence markers retails at £103,613. The MaxiDrill is available in working widths from 3–6m (all air drills) with a 120–240hp power requirement and drilling speeds up to 18kph. There are options for grain-only or grain and fertiliser with every model and hopper capacities are 2,900–4,100 litres. A 3m MaxiDrill retails from £44,192. A 6m wide model with a seed only hopper, markers, half side shut off, pre-emergence markers and hydraulic brakes retails at £77,058.

The press roller at the front of the EasyDrill can roll down cover crops to allow the following discs and coulters to drill directly into them.

A simple system of adding or removing blocks is used to alter the depth of the disc coulter.

For fine-tuning of seed depth for different crop types or conditions, the carbidetipped skim coulter can be moved up or down the side of the disc on the EasyDrill where it also acts as a scraper to keep the disc and the seed slot clean, helping with consistent seed placement.

The EasyDrill features a metering and distribution system developed in cooperation with Sulky. ...from previous page

According to Monsieur Decarville, key to reliable and accurate seed placement is the drill’s ‘tandem’ system which sets it apart from many other trailed drills on the market and more resembles the design of a precision drill. A rubber press wheel to the front, and a metal press wheel to the rear, suspend the row of disc coulters between them and ultimately govern the depth of seed placement. Because the two wheels follow the contours of the soil surface, this results in consistent seed depth, he commented. A simple system of adding or removing blocks is used to alter the depth of the disc coulter

(1 block = 1cm change in seed depth) in relation to the tandem wheels, however, for fine-tuning of seed depth for different crop types or conditions, the carbide-tipped skim coulter can be moved up or down the side of the disc where it also acts as a scraper to keep the disc and the seed slot clean, helping with consistent seed placement. The metal, and angled, press wheel to the rear closes the slot made by the disc and seed coulter for good seed-to-soil contact. “To direct drill into hard soil in August, for example, then more pressure is required on the disc coulters – and up to 250kg/disc is available – but as soil conditions improve and the drill is operating in more conventional situations, then less pressure is required,” said Monsieur Decarville, who added that weight can be shifted between the two rows of press wheels – to the front when conditions become

wetter, and to the rear when dry. For drilling into established cover crops, the company said that the press wheel at the front and the disc coulter combination allows the drill to roll down tall crops and slice through them to be able to place the seed accurately and at the right depth. There is no need to mulch a cover crop before drilling and there are no problems with blocking which may occur with other drills working straight into cover crops, he claimed. The EasyDrill features a metering and distribution system developed in co-operation with Sulky and all models can be fitted with a second distribution mechanism for fertiliser. A third (Pro) hopper can be fitted for microgranular products and small seeds on the pneumatic versions. With up to three electric metering units, operators can drill at two different depths (using the skim and additional fertiliser coulters) with up to three different products. James Woolway added: “The EasyDrill’s name comes from its simplicity for the operator to set up and use, the fact that it takes very little horsepower to pull and its minimal maintenance requirement. “Farmers need more flexibility to deal with different types of crops, the different conditions faced in the

spring and autumn, as well as the ability to drill into cover crops, and all of these things make it a very costeffective drill. “I think there’ll be interest in the UK as growers look for a machine that can do a bit of everything – drilling into cover crops, direct drilling and min-till. In France the market was split evenly between both of Sky’s drills but as legislation regarding use of cover crops and the protection of soil over winter progressed, then more people started looking at the EasyDrill as a solution. “Already we are seeing soil protection legislation coming into play under Cross Compliance over here and it will be interesting to see how that develops and how this might effect the amount of cover crop use in the future.”

Maximising output The MaxiDrill comes with the same hopper and seed distribution systems (grain only or grain and fertiliser) as the EasyDrill, but with a claim to be able to extend the drilling window for growers in the UK. A high output min-till cultivator drill, the MaxiDrill has 6 models in the range with widths from 3–6m, a continued over...

Wide clearance between the soil engaging parts on the MaxiDrill ensures that the drill can be operated at more challenging times of the season.

power requirement from 120–240hp and a maximum of 120kg pressure/ coulter. Like the EasyDrill, it can also be used in more conventional drilling situations such as following the plough, however its key advantage is the clearance between its cultivation elements allowing it to keep working late in the season, or in more challenging situations, compared with other cultivator drills. Sky Agriculture’s CEO David Guy said that the MaxiDrill incorporates two rows of hydraulically-adjustable 415mm cultivator discs at the front which level and finish seedbed preparation . “These small discs rotate fast and produce a seebded with a fine tilth ahead of a press roller,” he added. The discs are individually rubbermounted to protect them from stone damage and allow them to follow the ground. Their operating depth, which

Monsieur Guy suggested should be no more than 5cm deep, is adjusted hydraulically from the tractor cab. They can also be completely lifted out of working mode if required, he said. Behind the discs a press roller, made up of pairs of offset wheels, evenly consolidates the surface. The wheels are dedicated to work in the field, and not used for road transport, and so suitable tyres and pressures are used for pressing the soil, rather than a compromise for accommodating road use too, he pointed out. However it’s here that some of the problems associated with cultivator drills often begin, continued Monsieur Guy. “Generally speaking, and in challenging conditions in particular, there can be a big flow of earth behind the roller when the drill is moving at speed, and trash and wet soil can cause blockages in the coulter seeding line immediately behind. “With the MaxiDrill there is a large gap between the press wheel and the seeding line and so the soil is settled and level again by the time the disc coulters come into play,” he explained. In addition, the two seeding lines, which have a similar disc and coulter system as the EasyDrill, are spaced at 56cm for extra trash clearance, while a depth controlling press wheel at the rear closes the seed slot and consolidates. For arable growers and contractors in the UK who are looking to increase their area of maize grown for AD plants, the seeding element of the MaxiDrill can be removed from the three-

point hitch at the back of the drill and replaced with a Monosem-type maize-planting unit, suggested Monsieur Guy. “Late drilling and spring drilling are becoming key tools in an arable farmer’s armoury to combat blackgrass,” added James Woolway. “Here, the MaxiDrill has a key advantage against its competitors as behind the press roller is a dedicated roadlegal, high speed braked axle that

can be used to lift the weight of the drill when conditions dictate. This is critical when drilling in touch-and-go conditions late in the season as many farmers will not even venture out into the field with a trailed drill at this time of year for fear of getting stuck.”

Fuel Management Software

Sky Agriculture FACTS Sky-Agriculture is a relatively new company – a partnership between French farmer and agronomist David Guy, and Julian Burel of French machinery manufacturer Sulky. It was established in 2013, and is based on a farm just north of Nantes in north-west France. Sky’s products draw on 25 years of Sulky’s experience in seeding techniques and agricultural machinery manufacturing, together with practical on-farm trials, says Opico. The drills are manufactured on the Sulky production line but with a completely separate sales and management team to those of sister company Sulky. In France, Sky already has a significant (35 per cent) market share of trailed grain drills with over 2,500 in operation worldwide.

Tractor deliveries commence as new factory opens The new Kubota factory near Dunkirk has been built to manufacture the largest M7 series Kubota tractors, launched in 2014.

The official opening of Kubota’s newest factory, dedicated to the manufacture of the eagerly anticipated higher horsepower M7 series tractors designed to suit the needs of agricultural users, took place in late September. David Williams attended the event. As soon as rumours of Kubota’s intention to produce larger tractors suitable for mixed and smaller arable farms began, there was a great deal of interest from prospective customers. The new M7 series tractors made their UK debut at Lamma 2015 but, only pre-production machines have been available to test-drive to date and dealers have been keen to get hold of production models to fulfil requests for demonstrations, and to satisfy orders already placed. There are three models in the range, offering 130–170hp. A 40M Euro investment, the new factory is near Dunkirk in France, ideally located for distribution across mainland Europe as well as for export to the UK, America and to Asia. On a 115,000m2 site, the buildings cover 37,000m2 so there is plenty of space available for anticipated future expansion. Planned production is up to 3,000 units per year, from 2016,

of which around 1,500 will be sold in Europe, 1,000 in North America and 500 to the Far East. Construction of the factory started in late 2013, the site chosen after considerable support from French authorities in the region. Approximately 89 per cent of components are supplied from within Europe with engines and cabs manufactured at the company’s facilities in Japan. In establishing the new range of tractors in a new market segment for the company, the factory is concentrating hard on quality, to ensure the new tractors gain an early reputation for reliability and production is being gradually increased from one tractor per hour, to the planned maximum of a tractor assembled every 21 minutes. The French factory is working closely with its Japanese counterparts to include practises which continually improve quality and productivity and Kubota president and representative

director Masatoshi Kimata said at the event that the intention is to supply customers with machines that are better than they expect them to be, from the start. Kubota’s smaller compact tractors and current largest MGX-series models offering up to 135hp, are well-established in the UK through a network of 68 dealers, but 45 per cent of these already have a major brand agricultural tractor franchise and there has been resistance from some of the other brands to the dealers also supplying the new M7 series tractors. Investment by Kubota in the UK market has included the setting up of a dedicated agricultural sales force, with experienced personnel recruited from some well-established competitors and a UK research and development department is based at the company’s UK headquarters at Thame, Oxfordshire, responsible for homologation as well as the assembly of tractors complete with optional upgrades for UK farms. Two mobile demonstration units will be shared with the company’s ground-care products division and

will be fully equipped to show off the new models to potential customers. Kubota’s own finance schemes will be available to offer competitive finance packages and extended warranty and service packages will also be available allowing customers to budget for the full costs of ownership. Standard warranty is 2,000 hours or two years and the service intervals are 500 hours. “We are putting in place an infrastructure to support existing dealers and to attract new dealers in areas they are needed,” explained Kubota UK agricultural business development manager Rob Edwards. “The new tractors are available in specifications to suit all types of continued over...

We have had enquiries from dealers across the UK, interested in taking on Kubota and have recruited several already.” Neil and Nicola Richardson, trading as N Richardson Ltd and based in north Norfolk have been trading second hand tractors as well as new and used implements since 2011 and, having built up a successful business, the company is one of Kubota’s newest agricultural dealers. “We looked at several possible tractor franchises but the Kubota range, with the new higher horsepower tractors in development, looked the best option for our area,” Neil explained. “We have a lot of livestock and smaller arable farms as well as vegetable growers in the county and the Kubota tractors are well suited, and the RTV utility vehicles are proving popular too. We have many existing customers who have bought tractors from us in recent years and the Kubota machines will be an excellent alternative when they are updating. Before taking on the franchise we were keen to make sure the tractors were suitable and we lent a 135hp model to several users, and all the feedback we received was positive. “We looked around Kubota’s UK headquarters too, and were impressed with the back-up available in terms of parts stocks held, and by the investment that Kubota is putting in to develop its agricultural division.

The 100th Challenger Rogator sprayer sold in the UK has been supplied to a large arable farm in Leicestershire. The farm has used Challenger crawlers for seven years and currently operates an MT875A and an MT875C.

100th Challenger sprayer A new Challenger Rogator RG655C self-propelled sprayer was delivered to a large mainly arable farm in Leicestershire in August – the 100th now working in the UK. David Williams reports. Bought to replace two smaller selfpropelled sprayers, the remarkable machine was already impressing its owners when Farmers Guide visited a month after delivery. The Rogator sprayer had its UK launch at the Cereals event in June 2010, and proved immediately popular for its build strength and design. The latest ‘C’ versions remain similar to the original range, but have gained extra features and uprated engines, and the range now includes three models with tank sizes from 3,800–6,200 litres and a choice of three power units; 175, 224 and 242hp. The 100th Rogator has been purchased by the Beaty family which farms near Market Harborough, Leicestershire and it was purchased through local Agco main dealer Chandlers which has seven branches and looks after customers in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. The Beaty family has farmed in Leicestershire since 1963, and trades as J Beaty & Son, currently farming approximately 1,618ha (4,000 acres) which is a mix of owned, rented and contract-farmed land with cropping including wheat, barley and oilseed rape as well as maize which is used to power an AD plant, commissioned during early 2014. Previously the farm relied on two 24m, 5,000 and 3,600 litre capacity self-propelled sprayers. “We farm a large area and had considered moving

to a wider sprayer but, while we were confident our fertiliser spreaders could achieve the wider spread widths with good quality ammonium nitrate, we had doubts about their ability to accurately apply urea at that width, so this dictated our tramline spacing”, explained Sid Beaty. “We use some liquid fertilisers, but only for last applications to oilseed rape at early flowering, so we do rely on the performance of our disc spreaders.” A recent investment was a pair of Kuhn Axis 40.1 disc spreaders, and Sid explained that these have given the family greater confidence in their ability to spread wider, so from this autumn all crops will be drilled with 32m tramline spacing, allowing the

use of a wider sprayer. A combination of factors, including a slight reduction in the total area farmed and a move to more mixed cropping rather than just wheat and oilseed rape grown previously, has resulted in the decision to replace two self-propelled sprayers with a single higher capacity machine.

Engineering quality “Our planned sprayer replacement was every 10 years, but it was obvious that the demands we were making on the two machines purchased in 2008 were taking their toll, so we decided to upgrade earlier this time around,” said Sid. “Experience has given us a good idea of what features are necessary to meet our needs, and we were all in agreement that quality of the engineering was the main requirement. We have some very steep slopes which provide a good test of any machine, including one field in

which all the work has to be carried out downhill in one area, with a shallower face used for upward travel. We had several sprayers on demonstration and it quickly became apparent that some wouldn’t cope with our situation, including one which almost overturned on some of the more uneven ground. “We narrowed the choice to just two machines which both seemed to suit our needs, but eventually settled on the Rogator as it seemed superbly engineered, had excellent weight distribution and stability, and the back-up available through the local dealer and from Challenger with its manufacturer-backed warranty and service packages gave us great confidence,” he added. Sid’s brother and farm director Richard Beaty agrees; “The demonstrations gave us a feel for the continued over...

The RG655C is equipped with a 6,200-litre tank and 32m booms and will spray up to 11,000ha (27,180 acres) per year for J Beaty & Son, farmers near Market Harborough. Pictured with the machine are (l-r) Tony Armstrong, Chris Hallam, Scott Walker, Sid Beaty, Clive Barber, Ben Bell, Matthew Warwick and Steve Sampson.

machines, but it was the quality of the engineering behind them which influenced our final decision,” he said. The model chosen was the top of the range RG655C with a 6,200-litre tank and 32m Pommier self-leveling booms and with 710/75R34 flotation and 380/90R54 rowcrop wheels and tyres, which will provide 1.2m ground clearance for oilseed rape and maize - a significant increase over that of the previous sprayers. Section control down to 10 sections is fitted, including eight 3m and two 4m. The sprayer has full autosteer capability and the farm has RTK guidance available but, as signal issues can affect some of the undulating land, it is possible that autosteer might not be used when there are established tramlines present as these might provide greater reliability. The total area to be sprayed by the Challenger will be approximately 11,000ha (27,180 acres) per year, including up to 7 applications to cereals and oilseed rape and 3–4 for the maize, some of which will be carried out at night. “We are doing more night spraying as this often provides better conditions for applications,” explained Sid. “Chemicals are very expensive and we try to apply them when they will provide greatest benefit and when it is best for the environment, so we try to spray only when wind speeds are under 10mph. In previous years we have desiccated all the oilseed rape at night, and with wind speeds often lower than during the day, we expect the amount of night work to increase. Because of this, one of the upgrades we chose for the Rogator was a xenon light kit, which will enable us to monitor closely the spray performance, and make operation easier for the driver, when working in the dark.” The Beaty’s main base at Medbourne Grange Farm, near Market Harborough is almost central

The Rogator has to travel up to 20 miles between spray sites and its operators Sid Beaty and Matthew Warwick agree that its performance on and off road is excellent.

within the farmed area, but road travel up to 20 miles is often necessary. The large 6,200-litre tank will allow greater areas to be sprayed between refills, but an option under consideration is towing a 6,000-litre bowser containing pre-mixed chemical to the field behind the sprayer, which would provide twice the spraying capacity. “It has plenty of power and the transmission is superb,” commented Sid. “It has very capable brakes too, which are essential for the area in which we operate with the steep slopes in the fields and on some of the roads, and with the 50kph transmission, safety is always a major factor. The brakes stop the machine very quickly with just a light touch, and we are still getting used to their performance.”

Impressive performance The main sprayer operators are employee Matthew Warwick and Sid. Both are impressed with the Rogator’s performance so far. “The previous sprayers had many similar features, but the Rogator’s are designed well and perform better,” said Matthew. ”The automatic boom stability and height control are really good, especially considering the wider boom width, and tasks such as mixing the chemical and filling the sprayer are straightforward and quickly carried out as the induction bowl and controls are easy to use.” The maximum tank filling speed of 800 litres/minute is more than adequate for the farm as, Sid explained, with chemical mixes becoming increasingly complex, it takes much longer to add these than it does to fill the tank with water. Another feature that has impressed Matthew is the chemical container rinsing system. “It’s easy to use and the power of the jets means cans are washed thoroughly and quickly,” he added. “Flow and pressure are much better than we had available on the previous sprayers, and my only

complaint is that the drip stand won’t accommodate 20-litre containers. More of the chemicals we use are supplied in them now, so it would be handy if they could be emptied as easily as the smaller cans.” The main tank and boom rinsing system is also good, he said. “Since almost all the spraying so far has been glyphosate on stubbles, I haven’t had to use it yet but it looks easy to use, and its design is very practical so I think it will allow us to switch spray tasks quickly. “I really like using the Rogator,” he added. “Every aspect of it is well designed, from the cab which is comfortable and spacious to the boom stability system which allows accurate application even on our sloping ground. All functions are easy to set up and use and the auto-steer is especially good. It has plenty of power and traction, even on the steeper land, but it is a big machine and it has to be treated with respect. If conditions are very challenging I slow down and let it find its own way, and I think it will help me to do my job well.” “I am delighted that the Beatys have chosen the Rogator as I believe it will be ideal for their needs,” said Chandlers Challenger product specialist Clive Barber. “We have been dealing with the farm for approximately 12 years, since it bought its first Kuhn spreader, and since then it has also been operating Challenger crawlers supplied and looked after by us, which have performed well. Our history of working with the family means we understand their needs, and they know the quality of service we can provide. Chris Hallam, our Challenger service engineer, is well known to the farm as he looks after the crawlers, and he will also be looking after the sprayer. We know we can rely on Challenger to give us what we need to support our customers, and that helps us provide a service which

professional users can depend on.” Challenger UK sales manager Steve Sampson commented; “We have been delighted with the Rogator since its launch five years ago. It is a sprayer that appeals to larger professional farmers and contracting businesses, with features to maximise performance and efficiency. The Challenger name is popular, due to the build quality, back-up available from the manufacturer and dealers, the excellent parts availability and the whole package we help our dealers to provide. No-one else in the market offers a machine for which they are able to provide a total price for finance, servicing and warranty for up to 7,500 hours or five years from the start and having these figures enables users to accurately predict annual and hourly ownership and running costs from day one. “We have several UK users working in excess of 2,500 hours per year, including one with a 24m machine and another with 36m booms, so the actual total spray areas vary, but we have found that our average user operates their Rogator for approximately 1,200–1,500 hours per year,” he added. “The Rogator’s success is due to its practical design with features to appeal to professional users and ensure efficient and cost-effective operation,” continued Steve. “Its almost perfect weight distribution front and rear whether full or empty is something appreciated by users to the extent that, often at demonstrations, we have seen potential users drive the sprayer across the farm weighbridge, weighing an axle at a time to check it. This even axle loading ensures best possible traction and stability and reduces soil damage which is why it was one of the main design objectives from the start and features like this are key to its success.”

Agritechnica New D-series Rogators, due to be launched at Agritechnica in November have a new cab as well as many additional innovations to make operation easier, and Steve commented that for the future we can expect to see even greater tank capacities, wider spray booms and bigger engines to meet the increasing demands of users. “The Rogator sits perfectly alongside the rubber tracked crawlers in the Challenger range, appealing to the same types of user. Not every farm can justify the Rogator,” he explained, “but the 100th machine has been sold to a typical UK user; professional, farming a large area and looking for the performance to cope with some quite demanding situations making the most of available weather windows.” ■

High capacity spreader meets demanding workload

A pair of Fliegl Gigant trailer spreaders are proving a worthwhile investment for a Norfolk farm.

Two specialist trailers are making a significant difference to the efficiency of a large farming enterprise, offering tremendous carrying capacity and flexibility to perform a range of tasks. Trainee reporter Beth Speakman and David Williams write. An ‘integrated family farming business’ the Shropshire Group (G’s) has been growing salad and vegetable crops for more than 60 years and now farms 12,000ha (29,650 acres) of land throughout England. The company boasts 20 production sites throughout the country, with farms a mixture of owned and tenanted land, and cropping including traditional cereals as well as maize, salad and root crops – producing over 20,000t of onions between August and May. Most of the UK cropping is in block rotations for ease of management and operational efficiencies, however the company also has operations in Senegal, Poland and Spain. GS Shropshire & Sons Ltd farms over 1,400ha (3,460 acres) of land, predominantly around West Dereham in Norfolk. The land includes soils ideal for growing salad crops. The farm grows a wide variety of produce, including wheat, onions, salads, radishes, celery and potatoes. Maize is used to supply a 2.4MW anaerobic digestion plant run by Shropshire Energy UK Ltd, which uses the waste vegetable matter along with whole crop rye and maize, to produce energy for the local village and to heat 48 tunnels in which 160t of mushrooms are produced each week, just 300m from the plant. Some of the electricity generated by the AD plant is used on-site for the mushroom farm and to run the AD site and pasteurise the digestate by-product prior to application, to PAS110 standard. The digestate is transported to and applied to the

fields. Much of the land is also used for production of the salad crops, mostly for supermarkets. Shropshire Energy UK director and G’s farm manager, Will Forbes, has been employed by the company for over 28 years and understands the issues faced with finding equipment that is diverse enough to meet the needs of a mixed variety farm.

Investment in the right machinery Will explained that previously the farm had relied on contractors to meet its muck spreading needs, but faced issues of compaction on the land, something which Will explained is always a ‘primary consideration’ when it comes to field operations. The mushroom compost is loaded onto lorries and transported to field sites ready for spreading. “Having entered into a new venture growing mushrooms, and knowing we would have an extra 25,000t of compost to transport and apply each year, we started looking at the options available,” he said. “Our AD plant is fed by three Fliegl feeding bunkers, so we were familiar with the brand and we visited the Fliegl factory to see what the company offered which would suit our needs. We selected two Gigant trailers, with demountable spreader bodies to ensure self-sufficiency with transport and muck spreading.” Will said the mushroom compost adds organic matter which is beneficial to the land; “On our sandy onion soils, this is particularly important and, being naturally very

low on nitrogen, we can apply it at any time, even during the traditional ‘closed periods’,” he said. “In February and March we apply it to our lighter land ahead of drilling and it improves the composition and the soil condition, but we do have to be selective where we apply it as the land has to be suitable for travelling at that time of year.” The Fliegl Gigant trailers have a capacity of 52m3 or a maximum 25t of compost. The cost over traditional trailers and spreaders was significant, at approximately £55,000 per unit, but the advanced design with innovative features to improve performance and extend versatility easily justified the investment, explained Will. Since their purchase in March 2014 the trailers have performed well and have been used for spreading muck and transporting compost, rye, maize and other produce around the farms. Swapping the trailer back from its standard transport mode to a hydraulicdriven spreader takes two people approximately three hours, with forklift tine holes provided for ease of handling.

Timeliness improved According to Will, the added capacity has led to a reduction in time spent both loading and muck spreading, which also reduces demand for the loading machinery, releasing it for use elsewhere on the farm. One issue faced by the farm was the time it took to load the trailers initially. “It took about 14 bucket loads when we used the telescopic handler, but we have recently invested in a large Volvo articulated wheeled loader with a 5t bucket, so loading now takes just a few minutes,” said Will.

Will Forbes said the high cost of the trailers was easily justified through improved efficiencies of operation.

Efficient design The Fliegl’s moving headboard design means that the load is pushed over a sliding floor, and out of the back, removing the need for tipping. This was identified as an important benefit as it means the trailers can be used in low buildings, and it improves safety when unloading near over-head power lines. The speed of the headboard’s movement is adjusted by the operator from within the tractor cab and is described as ‘simple and user friendly,’ by one of the trailer’s main operators, Jamie Smith. The push-off unloading system also increases capacity while maintaining a low centre of gravity through the lower bed height, which is 20–30cm lower than that of an equivalent conventional trailer. “The sliding floor design is excellent,” said Jamie, “as we are all too used to the problems which can be caused when there are blockages or breakages in chain and flight systems, and the considerable lost time digging them out to carry out repairs.” continued over...

Jamie can load 20t of horse manure in under five minutes using the Volvo loader.

The tri-axle assembly can be moved up to a metre fore and aft at the touch of a button in the cab in under a minute for greater ease of manoeuvring during tight turns and to improve weight distribution. ...from previous page

Extending the trailers’ versatility, the farm invested in maize augers for the rear, which allow unloading directly into lorry trailers to transport harvested crop from the field. Hydraulic-driven, these have been a big success and provide significant time savings, transferring the contents of the trailers in approximately 10 minutes. The trailer’s flexible design includes demountable bodies to suit different tasks, and a potential future purchase is a tanker body, which would be used to transport liquid digestate from the farm’s AD plant. With 22,000 litres capacity, this would be an efficient means of transporting the slurry, while the wide tyres would allow the trailer to travel well on farm tracks and fields for application using a dribble bar or an umbilical system. The company uses a pair of Fendt 936 Vario tractors to tow the trailers and has all its tractors fitted with auto-steer through an RTK network to ensure accuracy of applications. Will explained that

the Fendt tractors were chosen for their economical performance and the supplying dealer’s after-sales service. Despite their all-up off-road weight approaching 48t, the Fliegl trailers are proving economical in terms of fuel use, with diesel consumption averaging 3–4 litres for every hectare of spreading. The tractors are fitted with Fendt’s VarioGrip built-in tyre pressure adjustment system, which Will said makes a significant difference to the farm’s spreading operation as the tractor tyres are inflated for road work, to transport the heavy loads at high speeds, and then reduced in-the-field to maximise traction and minimise ground pressure. The trailers are equipped with 700/50R26.5 tyres, which were the widest available, requiring extended mudguards, and operating at 10–20 psi. These travel very well, even on soft ground, and cause little rutting, while also performing well on the road, explained Will. The trailers also feature heightadjustable drawbars, for use with tractors of various sizes. The hitch height affects the angle of the trailer bed, and Jamie explained that he has found the trailer performs best with a slight downward tilt to the rear as this helps the unloading action, while the universal ball hitch option chosen is proving noticeably smoother in use, despite the trailer’s weight, than a conventional hook. Jamie said the trailers ride well on the fields and on the road, even in tricky conditions, but he admitted that he is ‘selective’ about which ground he would use them on, given their size. He also commented that, while the trailers are very ‘user-friendly’, they require a skilled operator and ‘experienced judgement’ to get the best from them, and to achieve the desired

spread rates. The trailer’s tri-axle assembly is adjustable forward or back by 1.0m, which alters the weight distribution between the trailer wheels and the tractor. Operated from the cab, using the tractor’s hydraulic services, this feature is used frequently as moving the axles forward makes manoeuvring the trailer easier, assisting turns off narrow lanes into tight field gateways. In the field, the axles are moved backwards, transferring weight to the drawbar and increasing traction. Farmers Guide saw one of the spreaders at work, spreading mushroom compost on to a field of stubble. Spreading performance was excellent; the compost was shredded thoroughly, and an even spread was achieved across the maximum 12m width, even though the 20t load was applied in just 6–8 minutes. Despite the trailers’ complex design and the demanding work regime, reliability has been excellent so far, and there has been just a minor problem of the headboard sticking occasionally, in its centre travel position. The issue is easily sorted with a tap on the brake, but Will said Fliegl is currently looking into the issue. “We have been very impressed with the back-up from both Fliegl, and from the supplying dealer, Thurlow Nunn Standen,” commented Will. “These are the first trailers of their type in the UK so the dealer is learning with us, but we are delighted with the back-up provided to date. “We have over-specified with our choice of trailers,” he continued, “with the objective that we minimise time spent applying the compost and digestate. The large tractors on the farm are in demand, particularly

The spreader back is well designed and can be swapped for a trailer back in just three hours on the farm.

during peak periods, and these large spreaders mean we can complete spreading in just a few days, releasing the tractors for other tasks.” The trailers’ design has resulted in interest from other farms and contractors in the local area wanting to hire them for their own haulage and spreading needs. “Being able to convert the Gigant from a trailer to a spreader in just a short time means there is potential for taking on extra work, and the maize auger transfer system has attracted considerable interest from contractors,” he explained. “One possibility we are considering is to offer a contract spreading service for other farms in the area, applying their own manure, which would help make the most of the machinery and labour we have available during quieter times,” he said. For us, the versatility of these trailers easily justifies the investment. They are saving us time and improving the efficiency of our ■ operations,” he added.

Power in Action review

The biennial Power in Action autumn cultivations demonstration took place on the 9th September on more than 150 acres at Thurlow, near Haverhill, Suffolk. David Williams reports. The event is organised by Farmers Guide in conjunction with Suffolk Farm Machinery Club and is always held on heavy land, which provides a challenge for machinery working. This year’s event was no exception with conditions which were especially demanding, as the Hanslope series clay proved difficult to break down having just dried out enough for the event to go ahead after heavy rain during the preceding 10 days. Almost 1,000 farmers attended the event, despite there being a lot of wheat still to harvest in the area and feedback from exhibitors was extremely positive, with many reporting a large number of enquiries for follow up later, as well as requests for on-site demonstrations. Orders were taken on the day, despite many of the machines struggling in the conditions that were so challenging that even some of the ploughs blocked up and were unable to work successfully.

Many of the cultivation products working were being demonstrated in public for the first time in the UK, ahead of their official debut at Tillage Live the following week. There was also at least one tractor seen working in the UK for the first time. Almost all the major brands were represented at the event, which included manufacturers, dealers and importers. Feedback from visitors to the demonstration was very positive; including one Lincolnshire farmer who commented that he attends every Power in Action, because he knows that if a machine will work on the site chosen, then it will perform on his own farm. Thanks are due to Thurlow Estate Farms for allowing us the use of the land for the demonstration and to all the exhibitors who brought products and machinery to show, and to the many farmers and contractors who attended to see the machines working.

Ernest Doe & Sons was demonstrating its New Holland and Case IH tractor brands as well as cultivation machinery from Great Plains, Dal-Bo, Horsch and Lemken. Pictured with the Lemken Rubin 12 compact disc cultivator are Lemken UK and Ernest Doe representatives (l-r) Chris Scott, Paul Creasy, Ernest Doe sales director Graham Parker, Niels Veltmann and Aaron Graves. “The Rubin 12 has been especially popular this year,” explained Graham, “due to its ability to move soil across the whole profile even when used for shallow stubble cultivations.” The two rows of large 736mm symmetrically arranged discs penetrate easily and cope effortlessly with post-harvest trash and the heavy rear press consolidates the soil to retain moisture and encourage germination of weed seeds in the stale seedbed. Graham said there were a large number of orders placed before harvest as farmers anticipated demand for such a machine, but that the weather since harvest had resulted in many more orders being placed. “Farmers are telling us that they need to change their techniques for establishing crops and adapt to tackle the increasing grass weed problems,” explained Graham. “Many are cultivating well ahead of the drilling operation, to give weeds seeds time to grow and be treated and then the crops are planted with a minimum of soil disturbance,” he said. The Rubin 12 is available in 3–6m working widths including mounted 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0m rigid and 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0m hydraulic folding versions with a Uni-wheel which carries much of the weight during transport, and allows use with smaller tractors.

J Brock & Sons has its base close to the event site, near Thaxted in Essex, and was exhibiting and demonstrating a selection of products. The company manufactures cultivation equipment and also imports and supplies Farmet cultivators and TWB subsoilers and mole drainers. Replacement wearing parts are supplied too including the Speed-loc range of points, coulters and shares from Bourgault. “We stock and supply genuine and non-genuine wearing parts and find strong demand for both,” explained J Brock & Sons sales manager Derry Morton. The Farmet range includes cultivators of all types and operating widths and was shown and demonstrated at the Cereals event in June, but creating considerable interest at Power in Action was Brock’s own Under Burst 6m folding cultivator. Designed for deep cultivations to break up the plough pan, it can be used fully extended, or folded on smaller tractors. The number of tines and their spacing is adjustable. The most popular version, with a standard heavy-duty rear packer, as More over page... shown, is priced at £18,250.

...More on previous page Opico Maschio demonstrated a Perfecta 3m combination disc drill and a 6m Primavera tine seeder at the event, and was working with its dealer for the area, Ernest Doe. “Maschio products have enjoyed a very successful year,” said Maschio sales manager David Day (pictured). “We have seen strong demand which has really bucked the overall trend in machinery sales as the brand name is becoming more widely recognised with a solid reputation for excellent reliability. The manufacturer has invested heavily in the products and assistance available to us and, as a result, we have been able to provide very high levels of support to customers, before sale and after, including running very successful demonstration campaigns.” As in previous years, Suzuki GB supplied ATVs for the stewards to use, making it easier for them to provide support to visitors and exhibitors across the large event site. Pictured with the ATVs are Farm Machinery Club members and stewards Ian Dryden and Chris Keeble.

Thurlow Nunn Standen is a main Agco dealer with branches in Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, its franchises including Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra and Challenger as well as many premium implement brands. In its working area were products from Kverneland, Opico and Keeble Brothers which all created considerable interest from visitors. Pictured with the Opico He-Va Combi-Disc are (l-r) Opico representatives Charlie Thompson and Glenn Bootman, and from Thurlow Nunn Standen; Richard King, Simon Bonfield, Steve Plumb, Sam Albutt and James Clarke. The Combi-Disc was launched this year and is available currently in just a 3m version and Power in Action was its first public working demonstration in the area. The Combi-Disc is a deep tine and disc cultivator, with tines in front followed by two rows of discs and a rear packer, and all elements are adjustable from the cab. “It is very versatile,” explained Opico He-Va territory manager for the area, Glenn Bootman. “The operator can select all the working elements, or use just the discs or legs, to suit the conditions, so it is totally universal. Hydraulic auto-reset legs are standard allowing the break-back force to be adjusted to suit the conditions.”

On-hand to explain the features and benefits of the Gregoire Besson product range were Ben Burgess sales and service staff as well as representatives from the manufacturer. The new Crossland cultivator was well suited to the working conditions, and is available in 3.0–4.5m mounted versions and 4.0–8.0m trailed, but Gregoire Besson UK managing director Rob Immink explained that there are wider versions, up to 12m, in development currently. The 3m model demonstrated has 10 Euro-chisel tines each fitted with point and goose shares followed by a set of rear leveling discs and an Impak rear press. “It has lots of clearance for trash,” explained Rob, “and the outer leveling discs are easily removed and stowed on the machine for transport to provide a 3m transport width. Tine spacing is 306mm but it is available also with 13 tines providing 230mm spacing. A special offer price for the version displayed was available, at £9,500. Pictured with the popular Crossland cultivator are; (l-r) Rob Immink, Ben Burgess area sales manager from the dealer’s Coates, Cambridgeshire branch James Aspden and Gregoire Besson service manager Josh Spence.

Also on the Thurlow Nunn Standen demonstration area was the Kverneland Kultistrip which is a versatile strip-till cultivator. Most sales since its introduction in 2013 have been for establishing root crops, but a prototype version for establishing oilseed rape was working. An a-drill is mounted on top from which seed is metered to the rear of the tillage legs and at the front of the tractor is a hopper from which fertiliser is blown to the rear, for incorporation behind the legs. The prototype will be engaged in trials, drilling late-planted oilseed rape this autumn as well as for establishing spring crops and there is expected to be considerable interest in the combination due to the minimal disturbance of the soil, which should result in less blackgrass establishing between the crop rows. “We have also received a lot of enquiries from farmers interested in establishing sugar beet crops using the Kultistrip,” explained Kverneland key account manager Don Campbell. “There is interest in mounting a beet drill directly behind the Kultistrip, but an alternative is to strip-till the land in the morning, at speeds of 10–12kph, after which the soil is left to dry for a few hours, and drilled in the same tracks, using RTK guidance, in the afternoon. With margins under pressure and black-grass an issue on most farms, the Kultistrip More over page... allows growers to save time and fuel and reduce opportunities for black-grass to establish.”

...More on previous page Pecks AgriTrac is a main Case IH and JCB dealer with branches in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk and was demonstrating the latest JCB Fastrac 4000-series tractors working with products from the Amazone range, for which it is also a dealer. Two Fastracs were working; both 4220s with up to 235hp available from their 6.6-litre Sisu engines operating through a CVT transmission for optimum efficiency. An Amazone AP-P3000 drill was on one of the Fastracs and a Catros disc cultivator was on the other, behind a TL deep soil loosener. “The Fastrac 4000-series has been well received by farmers and contractors,” commented Mel Neale, who is a JCB sales specialist based at Pecks’ Ely depot. “Demonstrations tend to generate very positive feedback with few criticisms and orders that have been placed so far have been as much from owners of other brands as existing Fastrac users. Operating speed and comfort have proved especially popular and features such as the 4-wheel steering and CVT transmission aid productivity. These new tractors have everything our customers have been asking for, for a very long time.” The Amazone franchise was awarded to Pecks in 2013, and the move proved immediately successful with increased sales of its products in the trading area. “We enjoy being able to supply the Amazone range,” said Mel. “It has an excellent reputation and the spreaders are known for their

Power in Action was the first opportunity to see Pottinger’s Fox Aerosem drill working. The Aerosem seed drill is available currently in 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0m working widths with rigid bodies, but is will be available in wider working widths in a folding format later. The drill is very versatile, being capable of mounting over different cultivators from the company’s range and changed over quickly, to suit varying conditions. “Most sold in the UK have our dual disc coulter system from our larger Terrasem drills,” explained Pottinger UK general manager Shaun Groom. “Basic mechanical drive can be specified, which includes electronic control of tramlining, or there is the option to step up to an electronic system with Isobus compatibility for control and variable rate planting. There is also a more advanced system which provides full electronic control through our IDS distributor and this allows the operator to shut off any combination of rows, which means the drill can cope easily with different wheel track settings used on different farms, an ideal feature for contractors. “Precision Combi Seeding (PCS) can be specified too, which allows maize drilling units to be mounted on the standard drill coulter frame and this makes the drill suitable for maize and cereal establishment, providing a cost-effective solution for farmers. UK users have been particularly interested in a drill which

On the Knight Farm Machinery working area, the Bednar Terraland, Fenix and Swifterdisc cultivators were in action. Knight began importing Bednar products during 2014, having previewed some of the products at Power in Action during 2013, to gauge customer opinion. Most interest is in the Terraland cultivator because it is different to what most other manufacturers have available,” explained Knight sales manager David Main. “The Terraland provides a viable alternative to a plough, but requires much less power to pull it, and offers considerably higher work rates. The 3m version is equivalent in terms of work-rate to a 7f reversible plough but needs just half the power. It mixes trash thoroughly throughout the soil profile for maximum soil contact so that it breaks down quickly and it doesn’t create a mat. We have seen a great deal of interest from maize growers keen to smash the stubble and cultivate it in rather than plough.” Pictured with the Terraland is David (left) with Knight northern area sales manager Dan Hutchison.

performance and accuracy. We have sold several Pantera self-propelled sprayers and the latest cultivation products are generating a lot of interest too. Those who have already taken delivery are very impressed, and we are seeing increased numbers of enquiries from neighbours of existing users.” Pictured with the two demonstration Fastracs are (left) Mel Neale with Amazone area sales manager who looks after the Pecks AgriTrac account, Rupert Batho.

can be used for both crops and we already have several units out working,” he added. At the event the Aerosem drill was mounted on a new Fox short disc cultivator which, Shaun explained, is also proving popular for mounting on the rear of slurry tankers for incorporation of slurry, due to its light weight and compact size. The combination demonstrated at the event was priced at £39,338, which included £9,895 for the Fox cultivator and £29,443 for the drill, complete with electronic metering. Shaun Groom is pictured (left) with Shaun Kent, Pottinger’s recently appointed territory manager for East Anglia and the south-east.

Power in Action was the first public demonstration at which the Kockerling Rebel heavy-duty compact disc cultivator was working. Kockerling importer, Samagri Ltd explained that this is the first disc cultivator imported from the Kockerling range, and its introduction was in response to requests from farmers and contractors for a disc cultivator capable of dealing with high levels of crop residue after harvest, as well as cover crops. “We have had a great deal of interest in the Rebel,” reported managing director Steve Berry, “and its performance here at the event attracted several requests for demonstrations, including one on our journey back to our Hampshire base this evening. On this ground, big discs proved a good option.” Steve is pictured (left) with the Rebel and More over page... with area sales manager and demonstrator Nigel Long.

Suffolk-based Agrihire demonstrated a used Dowdeswell plough from its current stock, as well as Kongskilde implements, for which it has recently been appointed a main dealer. The company took on the McCormick tractor franchise during 2014, and the latest X7-670 Power Plus model, with CVT transmission was operating the plough, the first time the tractor had been seen working at a public demonstration. The CVT transmission allows up to four virtual speed operating ranges to be programmed, to suit different uses or operating conditions. “We are very pleased to have it here,” commented Agrihire managing director Tim Hubert. “It is pulling six 14in furrows with ease on this heavy land, at 5–7kph. It is putting its 188hp maximum power down to the ground well and visitors to the event have been very impressed. It is a tough market generally, but we have the right products, particularly with the recently launched tractors with their CVT transmissions which customers have been waiting for, and we remain busy with our traditional activities; hiring and selling our own range of muck spreaders, and servicing and repairing Dowdeswell ploughs. Tim is pictured (left) with McCormick sales executive Dick Bath.

One of the largest working combinations at Power in Action was Ernest Doe’s demonstration New Holland T9-560 with up to 557hp available, with a Great Plains SLD420 a and tine cultivator. Great Plains equipment demonstrated by the dealer at the event included the SLD 420, the Centurion CDA 600 drill and the DTX. “The SLD proved its worth in challenging ground conditions in both surface and deeper soil-loosening operations, while the DD700 rear roller left the ideal finish for weathering ahead of seeding with the Centurion,” said Jason Weston of Great Plains. “The DTX also performed well on the heavy soil and the adjustable disc angling function on both machines really came into its own. A number of enquiries taken at the show from Ernest Doe staff have already been converted into firm sales,” he added.

Claydon Drills demonstration area was busy throughout the event. Managing director Jeff Claydon farms just a few miles from Thurlow and developed his company’s range of direct drills to cope with the heavy land. As well as the latest Hybrid drill, capable of direct drilling, drilling into min-tilled or ploughed land, the company has developed a range of straw harrows and rolls, to complement the drills. Pictured with the rolls which, Jeff commented, have been particularly popular are (l-r) Luke Edgeley, Jeff Claydon, Lee Fisher, Stephen Edgeley and Frank Claydon. The Edgeleys are arable farmers, based at Chatteris, Cambridgeshire and they farm approximately 930ha (2,300 acres) of land stubble-to-stubble, with crops including potatoes, wheat, oilseed rape, sugar beet as well as winter and spring barley. Luke and Stephen had come to the event with machinery operator Lee Fisher to look at cultivation equipment and rolls.

East Anglia based Quivogne UK displayed one of its huge Perard grain chaser wagons and demonstrated several machines from its cultivation range. The Sub Evo 6m 12-leg folding subsoiler was shown working for the first time in the UK, behind a Case IH Quadtrac. The Sub Evo is capable of working down to 16in and has a double-acting hydraulic rear linkage capable of accommodating a 6m drill, to work directly behind the loosener, and there is also a heavy-duty hitch to take a trailed implement. The subsoiler is designed to achieve low disturbance close to the surface and its performance on the heavy land of the demonstration area was impressing event visitors throughout the day. The Sub Evo folds to just 2.5m for transport and costs £15,500. Pictured with the Quivogne mole drainer are; (l-r) Quivogne UK sales director Ben Clowes, Will Partridge, Tony Clowes and Hugh Partridge. Trading as HM Partridge & Co Ltd, the Partridges farm near Ipswich and purchased a similar machine two years ago. “We are on fairly heavy soils,” explained Hugh, “and the Quivogne mole drainer is well designed requiring little power to pull it. It is linkage mounted which makes it easy to use, and short too, so it is great for working up to headland drains.” The large Perard grain chaser wagon had been borrowed back for the day from its owner, nearby Bartlow Estate, and Ben said its performance this harvest has impressed its users, saving time, damage to the field and fuel. An unloading rate of 29t of oilseed rape in just 58 seconds and its ability to unload with the auger in More over page... any position had enabled it to replace several trailers.

...More on previous page Conditions at Power in Action provided a challenging environment for any of the rolls on site to be demonstrated, but the Dal-Bo Maxirolls on the Ernest Doe Power stand attracted a great deal of interest. Seen working in public for the first time was the Maxiroll black-grass harrow, attached to a set of 12m rolls. “Working conditions were difficult,” explained Dal-Bo UK sales manager Steve Atkin, “but we have been unfolding and folding the rolls for potential customers to see the clever design which is quick, and practical. Rolls are being considered more a part of the cultivations process by farms in recent years, and having the right type of roll to suit the land is important. We have sold seven sets of our largest 18m rolls so far this year, and there are always requests for even larger versions. Rolls have kept us busy all year, and this event has been no exception. We have sold the set of rolls which was demonstrated on the stand to a visitor to the event today, and he is collecting them direct from the site tomorrow.” Pictured with the set of Maxirolls sold at the event are (l-r) Ernest Doe Power, Fyfield branch sales executives Ian Kirby and Charlie Webber, with Steve Atkin.

British Sugar provided an informative demonstration aimed at encouraging farmers to consider the effects of different tyre equipment on soils. Working with Richard Western, which had supplied several identical trailers, and Vredestein which had equipped the trailers with tyres of various specifications, the demonstration involved travelling with the loaded trailers over cultivated land to assess the performance of the different tyres. Super singles are cheap, but had created deep ruts at their correct inflation pressure of 85psi, while Vredestein 560/65R22.5 low ground pressure tyres, operating at their recommended road transport pressures of 3.6 bar, (50psi) performed considerably better and the same tyres operating at their recommended field pressure of just 1.8 bar (25psi) had created only shallow ruts, through which could clearly be seen the tractor tyre tread marks. “We see 15–20 per cent of farm trailers still running on super singles,” explained British Sugar area manager Philip Reeve. “This demonstration clearly shows that, whether transporting beet or cereals from the fields, there is a significant advantage to running trailers on flotation tyres inflated to the correct pressures. Look after the soil structure and nutrition, and arable yields will follow. It is all about attention to detail.” Pictured examining the wheel marks are (l-r) Philip Reeve, Matt Cobbald, Oliver Cobbald and Vredestein agricultural tyre specialist Eddie Lonergan. Brothers, Matt and Oliver farm at Little Bentley near Colchester.

Suffolk Agri-Centre is based at Pakenham near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and is the main Deutz-Fahr dealer for the area. The company also took on the Amazone implement franchise during 2014 and Suffolk Agri-Centre managing director David Eley commented that the appointment has been well-received by local farmers and the full range of products are in demand. “We have sold machines from across the range,” he said, “including a large trailed sprayer, a Pantera self-propelled sprayer and many of the smaller mounted sprayers which are well suited to many farms in the area. Drills and power harrows as well as cultivators are all in strong demand, so we are really pleased to have just three or four main quality brands to offer, which satisfy the needs of most of our customers, The Deutz-Fahr tractors are proving superb, and delighting users with their performance and ease of use. We have sold several of the black Warrior special edition 7250 tractors too,” he added. Working at the demonstration were a Deutz-Fahr 6180 C-shift and a 6180 CVT, as well as the latest addition to the range - the flagship 9-series which was seen working at a public demonstration in the UK for the first time. “We have had lots of interest in the 9-series tractors,” said David, and this one is travelling from here direct to a farm for an on-site demonstration.” David Eley is pictured (centre) with Deutz-Fahr UK managing director Mark Ormond (left) and Amazone area sales manager Rupert Batho.

More over page... Massey Ferguson main dealer Mark Weatherhead demonstrated the latest Massey Ferguson 77-series tractors as well as Pottinger, Knight and Rabe cultivation equipment. The Rabe Cormoran on-land and in-furrow plough was working for the first time at a public demonstration. The 7f reversible has a rack and pinion turnover mechanism and was fitted with brand new BP331 slatted mouldboards which were a help in the tricky conditions. “We are selling products from across our ranges and brands,” said sales manager Dave Redford (pictured left) with area salesman Tim Scott, who is based at the dealer’s Steeple Bumpstead depot. “The new Massey Ferguson tractors, introduced earlier this year, are in full production now and available, and they have been received well, many of our sales replacing other brands. We have sold ploughs from both our Pottinger and Rabe ranges, most demand due to the increasing blackgrass problem and the Pottinger Terrasem drills have been successful too, attracting enquiries, demonstration requests and orders.”

...More on previous page Fieldens WTA Ltd, based at Sowmarket, Suffolk, displayed several Honda ATVs and mounted sprayers. Honda department sales manager, Keith Collins (pictured), reported considerable interest in the new machines as well as the company’s stock of used models, all available fully checked and serviced, and ready to work. “Many farmers are thinking ahead to the slug problems they are likely to encounter during the next few months, and we offer various models of slug pellet applicator, suitable for ATV, UTV or tractor or sprayer-mounted use, so we have been busy providing advice as to which will best suit the customers’ needs, as well as quotations for the supply of pelleters to users from all over the east of England,” he said.

Yorkshire-based machinery manufacturer Philip Watkins specialises in mintill and custom-built cultivation equipment and its range includes light and heavy-duty disc and tine-type cultivators. The Quad-till one-pass stubble cultivator is pictured at the event.

Deutz-Fahr, Pottinger and Merlo telescopic handler main dealer, Brad Farm Machinery, based at Hadleigh, Suffolk, was exhibiting at the event. Sharing the impressive Deutz-Fahr stand, the dealer reported a lot of interest in all its products, including Pottinger equipment which was working behind the Deutz-Fahr tractors. “We have had a good year generally,” said Brad Farm Machinery director Paul Offord. “Telescopic handlers are used more than almost any other equipment on farms, and they have become quite indispensable. This means that even when margins are under pressure and other machinery tends to be replaced less frequently, the handlers are updated and, supplying the Merlo range, we are offering well-respected machines with a strong reputation for reliability and efficiency. Our DeutzFahr tractor sales are good too, and we are receiving superb support from the manufacturer, which is directly reflected in what we can offer our customers,” he said.

Claas dealer for the area, Manns, was demonstrating tractors from the Claas range including Arion 600, 640 and 650 models. Manns general sales manager Patrick Wells said that the 180hp medium weight Arion 650 is the most popular in his trading area, ideally suited to a wide range of field operations and he said the new Claas-designed and manufactured CVT transmission, which became available last year, was proving especially popular. The Axion 850 was working with an Agri-Link cultivator and an Arion 630 was working with a Philip Watkins cultivator, while elsewhere at the event an Axion 950 was cultivating on the Philip Watkins demonstration area. Other Claas tractors were operating Claydon drills and formed part of a tyre pressure demonstration by Michelin. A Scorpion telescopic handler was also on show at the event. “It has been a good turnout,” said Patrick. “We continue to be busy with enquiries and orders for tractors and for the Scorpion handlers and, at the event, have had enquiries for all sorts of products including the cultivation kit. Most orders placed for tractors have been routine updates and the Scorpion handlers are in strong demand as they tend to be used every day on farms, and farmers depend on them. Demand for cultivators is for models which will cause as little surface disturbance as possible, mainly to tackle the black-grass problem, as well as to save diesel. Our other main product, combines, are also creating considerable interest, as farmers have heard of the latest updates and improvements and are keen to operate machinery which is efficient, economical and which will help them get their crops harvested quickly in the available weather windows.” Pictured on the company’s stand (l-r) are Claas UK tractor product manager Alastair McCallum, and Manns representatives Patrick Wells, Daniel Suckling, Mike Chinnery, Tristan Parish and John Wainwright.

Tillso director Chris Lane More over page... is pictured with one of his company’s Sabre Max cultivation tines. Chris explained that demand for his company’s range of tines is increasing as users are keen to create fewer clods during deep cultivations and to reduce the number of passes needed as a result, saving time and fuel. There are various formats available, to suit a number of tine spacings and cultivation depths and all use the same point and shin, but the wing design varies depending on operating depth. The Sabre Max is used by Thurlow Estate on its own Great Plains SLD cultivators, and is designed for maximum soil restructuring with minimum surface disturbance. Recommended operating depth is 9–16in at 700–750mm tine spacing. The Sabre Light is similar to the Sabre Max, but popular for establishing oilseed rape crops, allowing narrower tine spacings of 600mm whereas the Ultralight is for 400–500mm tine spacings and the Mono is a full-depth tine for use in stony or shallow conditions. “We have received a lot of enquiries for our products at the event,” said Chris. “With tighter margins farmers are keen to save costs and optimise soil condition and the crop’s growing environment and our specialist tines are designed to help them achieve this.”

The Vogelsang XTill strip-tillage cultivator was launched in 2013, and its features have made it popular for working in all sorts of applications, from injecting slurry to preparing land for specialist crops. Last year, an oilseed rape drilling kit was launched to fit the XTill, which has created additional interest, and its use for establishing the crop has proved successful, despite early concerns that the 75cm row spacings might adversely affect final yields. “In practise the results have been excellent,” explained Vogelsang sales manager for the UK, Sion Williams. “The yields have proved almost identical to those achieved with standard row spacings and the crop’s emergence and growth has been very even and consistent, making it easy to look after. Most demand we are seeing is currently for establishing oilseed rape and maize, but we are receiving a lot of enquiries from growers keen to use it to establish sugar beet, and with our latest version capable of 45, 50 and 75cm row spacings, it will be ideal for the crop. “Initially, most enquiries were from those wanting to use the XTill for slurry, because we have been known as a market leader in slurry application equipment for many years, but as many enquiries are now for cultivations without slurry although many users have bought the cultivator for use behind slurry tankers, for injecting digestate,” he said. The Vogelsang XTill is commercially available now with the i-CON mounted oilseed rape seeder at a cost of approximately £45,000 with six legs and a 4.5m working width. Sion is pictured (left) with agricultural product support specialist Richard Sockett.

Treadfirst supplies and repairs tyres throughout East Anglia from branches in Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. Brands supplied include Michelin, Trelleborg and BKT and agricultural tyre specialist Adrian Smith who is pictured on the company’s stand, explained that the new Trelleborg Maximo range, which offers a quality budget-priced tyre, was attracting a lot of interest. “We have been busy as usual all harvest, supplying replacement trailer tyres and repairing punctures,” he said. “Favourable working conditions so far this year have meant farmers have got away with using well-worn tyres, even for heavier cultivations, but the change to wetter weather has caused traction issues, so there is a lot of interest currently in new traction tyres. We have seen a trend toward purchasing quality tyres in recent years, particularly for high horsepower tractors as these enable users to achieve better performance but we still see demand for the traditional 18.4x38s too, for mid-sized tractors used for a variety of tasks,” he added. RTK Farming had a stand promoting its Trimble range of precision farming products as well as the RTK signal service it offers to farmers and contractors across eastern England, East Anglia and south east England. It was also supplying an RTK signal for use by exhibitors at the event enabling the benefits of precision farming technology and auto-steer systems to be demonstrated. “We currently supply an RTK signal over more than three million hectares of farm land,” explained sales support specialist PJ Walker, “from the M25 up to the Humber, and have more than 525 vehicles running on the service. Many larger farms have subscribed to the service in recent years, so now most interest is from medium-sized farms, keen to make use of the same efficiencies provided by the technology. Benefits for the smaller farms are at least as significant as the benefits experienced by those farming larger areas, if not more, as often they will be working harder, with smaller machinery which involves more passes due to the smaller working widths.” Pictured on the RTK stand are (l–r) visitors to the event – Framlingham Farmers machinery purchasing assistant Tom Mountain with machinery buyer Jemma Neesham with PJ Walker and RTK Farming director Chris Ashcroft.

John Deere main dealer, Ben Burgess, demonstrated a wide range of products at the event, from its Horsch, Kuhn and Gregoire Besson product ranges. Ben Burgess sales director David Fairman said, “Power in Action was very well organised and a successful day for us. The land brought challenges for everybody demonstrating and customers were keen to see how well machinery and implements performed. The John Deere 750A drill received a lot of attention. Its min-till set up works well in all soil types and although it isn’t a new concept, it is becoming increasing popular with farmers, especially those battling black-grass.” “The Kuhn Multi-Leader 7 furrow on-land plough with the John Deere 8295R from the Ben Burgess hire fleet also did a great job, proving its excellence in under beam and point to point clearance,” said David. “For a semi-mounted single-wheel plough, the Multi-Leader is extremely maneuverable, allowing more efficient ploughing, which is only increasing the popularity of the Kuhn range with our customers.”

The Horsch Pronto 6 KR, new this year, is a high output power harrow drill combination ideal for producing seedbeds in one pass in any soil, explained Ben Burgess sales director David Fairman. Paired with the John Deere 6215R, the testing conditions at Thurlow Estate Farms provided the perfect opportunity to showcase both the drill and tractor, and David said the Pronto attracted a lot of attention with increasing numbers of farmers considering using the combination concept. “With low Adblue use compared to its competitors, the John Deere 6215R with 215 horsepower is at the lower end of the HP rating suitable to operate the 6 KR in any conditions, therefore the heavy land provided a challenge, but the tractor and drill performed very well at the event,” he added.

One of the static site exhibitors was Suffolk-based Agroco Trailers, which is the main Ifor Williams trailer dealer for the area. “We offer the full range of Ifor Williams trailers as well as our own range of fuel bowsers and other small trailers,” explained partner in the business, Andy Ruffle (pictured). “Our main trailer range includes models up to 20ft long and 8ft wide as well as horseboxes and we have enjoyed a very busy year, with all products in demand. Most of the time our sales are restricted by the manufacturer’s ability to produce trailers fast enough so the brand is clearly supplying just what the industry needs.” Andy commented that there had been particular interest at the event in fuel bowsers, including enquiries for export.

Kongskilde area sales manager for central UK Mark Evans is pictured at the event with the company’s HRS plough, which was working in public for the first time at the event. Previously in Overum blue the plough is now available in the Kongskilde colours as a part of the Kongskilde range. “Ploughs are in demand,” said Mark. “Black-grass has certainly caused resurgence in interest regarding ploughs and although it has been a tough year for many products, ploughs are bucking the trend. We have had a good day at Power in Action, and we have gained plenty of new enquiries to follow up as well as requests for demonstrations.”

Dale Drills displayed its 6m Eco-Drill, which it had borrowed back from a farm close to the event. Dale Drills service engineer Tom Maplethorpe explained; “It belongs to local farmer Graham Flux, and was working yesterday, so we were lucky to be able to borrow it for the event. We have seen high demand this season for our drills, which has resulted in new machines being delivered to users as soon as they are manufactured. The Eco-Drill has a simple, functional design and it has a very low power requirement of just 20hp/m. The low disturbance tines are proving popular as their efficient action is helping growers fight the increased problem of grass weeds. We farm ourselves, and use a 9m drill to establish 1,200ha (3,000 acres) of crops in Lincolnshire on a mixture of soils from strong clay land to chalk on the hills, with a tractor of just 190hp. Most of the time we drill straight into stubble, but it will work in conventional crop establishment regimes too, so is very versatile, which customers like.”

Garford was displaying a hooded inter-row sprayer fitted with the Robocrop camera guidance system. UK sales manager George Hall, who is pictured with the machine, explained that the sprayer can provide significant chemical savings as it allows band and inter-row spraying with considerably less chemical wasted than would be the case with a conventional spray system where all the ground is treated. George said most interest recently has been for sugar beet and oilseed rape treatments. “We have seen increased interest in the inter-row sprayer for black-grass control in oilseed rape crops,” he said. “With the camera guidance it offers precise operation on any tractor, but if the farm has RTK available and the tractor is equipped with auto-steer then the sprayer is available without the camera system at less money. The most popular size is 6m, and with the Robocrop camera guidance the price is approximately £45,000.” he said.

The Proforge range of cultivation equipment is manufactured by AgriLink and the company was exhibiting at Power in Action for the first time. In 2011, the first product - a mole drainer - was launched, and a range of products has been built up following the drainer’s successful sales. Working at the event was the Inverta disc cultivator mounted behind a Stoka tine bar. The linkage-mounted Stoka loosens the subsoil and the Inverta, with its 22in cutaway discs, creates a tilth and thoroughly mixes all the soil across the 3m working width. The discs are held by heavy-duty sealed bearings for minimum maintenance and at the rear, a rubber wedge or DiscBond steel packer is fitted. The price of the 3m version working at the event was £7,350 for the Inverta, plus £3,450 for the Stoka tine bar, and the Inverta is available with a choice of either packer for the same price. There is also a heavier duty version of the Inverta, the Inverta Max, available for even tougher working conditions. 11R44B

Innovations at Agritechnica Horsch has announced a wide range of new innovations and products for Agritechnica 2015 aimed at improving productivity, efficiency and yield. “As farmers ourselves, Horsch understands the challenges farmers face and builds the best machines to meet those challenges. Our innovative cultivation, seeding and spraying technology is extensively tested on our own farms and we work closely with our customers during development,” said Horsch UK general manager Stephen Burcham.

New products include;

•

BoomSight – anticipating and intelligent laser identification

• • • • • • •

system to control the spraying boom Leeb LT – new 4,000 and 5,000 litre trailed sprayers Leeb PT 330 – new flagship self-propelled sprayer with high speed for high crops Avatar SD – new seed drill with single disc coulter Express KR – new working widths SeedControl – calibration test is no longer required for all Horsch seed drills ContourFarming – metering technology for Maestro SW New generation MiniDrill – perfect for catch crops

BoomSight is a new boom technology that provides even greater control and enables the boom to be held closer to the target area for better crop penetration and wetting, says the company. It has won a Silver Medal from the DLG at Agritechnica 2015. With BoomSight, a laser scanner is installed on the roof of the tractor or sprayer cab and scans a range of approximately 20m to the left and right and 15m in front of the vehicle. Changes in field contours can then be relayed to the BoomControl Pro system much earlier, providing a wider and more detailed window in which to react. ■

Dealer network expands to ﬁt demand Growing demand for Krone UK’s range of forage and grassland equipment has led the company to strengthen its dealer network in Scotland and England. In Scotland, John H McNae of Tarbolton, Ayrshire, which currently

supplies the BiG X forage harvester, will now also supply the full range of Krone grassland equipment. Ross Agri Services is extending its area south to include Perthshire. In the east of England, Pecks Agritrac is being appointed main

dealers for south Lincolnshire, north Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. In the south west, Krone Forage Solutions, Krone UK’s retail division, is forming a partnership with Wiltshirebased Barnes Agricultural Services. The new venture will be based in Devizes

covering the M4, M5 and M40 triangle. Krone Forage Solutions will be responsible for sales, while Barnes Agricultural Services will provide after-sales. Mike Foyle is joining Krone Forage Solutions as its sales manager for this area.

At home in the orchard Two of the most popular tractors favoured by fruit growers were showcased at last month’s National Fruit Show in Kent, on a Landini stand staged with local dealer Horsepower UK. Making its British debut was the new-look version of the Landini Rex purpose-designed fruit tractor, with styling to reflect thorough modernisation and improvement over the past 18 months. Its redesigned bonnet is made from stronger, more weather-resistant materials, while a refreshed cab has upgraded features. However, the new Rex continues to provide the same technical solutions that fruit growers appreciate

and continues in narrow orchard (F), low orchard (GE) and large orchard, open field (GT) versions. All are powered by fuel-efficient 3- and 4-cylinder Perkins engines with 68—110hp outputs. A choice of 12x12, 15x15 and 30x30 speed transmissions with mechanical or power shuttle makes the most of the power available for different applications. On show alongside the Rex was the evergreen Mistral compact – commonly used for pulling fruit trains at harvest, light duties such as mowing and spraying and other tasks that need a small but capable, durable and reliable tractor. In four models with 35—54hp, it’s

liked for its easy-to-drive character, comfort – whether in open or cabbed formats – and grippy yet highlymanoeuvrable 4wd. The Landini range also spans the all-new 60—107hp 4 series to the high-tech 165—212hp 7 series, including the newly-launched Landini 5-D High Clear. This new high-clearance tractor has 2 or 4wd from large-diameter rowcrop wheels all around, and improved economy from a new engine with 85, 95 and 102hp outputs. Further improved fuel economy comes from choosing the new 540/540E pto option, which gives the required shaft speed at either maximum power or at almost 30 per

Bed and breakfast for cattle Kuhn Farm Machinery will be displaying a new range of dualpurpose twin-auger TMR mixer and bedding wagons at Agriscot, to be held at the Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh on 18th November. The four-strong Profile Plus TMR mixer wagon range has an integrated bedding system and a narrow body design for compatibility with old and new farm buildings. It shares many of the features seen on the standard Profile 70 series of vertical-auger mixer wagons. These include: low loading height; compact external dimensions – the smallest model is 2.42m wide by 2.83m high; right or left feed discharge door; and a 3-point electronic weighing system as standard. The Profile Plus also features a front-mounted straw-blowing turbine driven by Kuhn’s patented

Polydrive system capable of throwing 600kg of bedding material to a distance of 18m in 4.5 minutes. In 15, 16, 18 and 20m3 capacities, Profile Plus wagons use two independent vertical augers to quickly and accurately mix a range of feedstuffs, with adjustable counterknives giving the ability to cut fibrous material to a pre-determined length. The small-diameter augers reduce power requirement: the smallest model is compatible with 80hp tractors. The straw output door uses Kuhn’s asymmetric Ventidrive design to optimise output flow and ensure an even application of bedding materials. A tilting feed conveyor and swivelling straw-blowing chutes are optional extras. Sales manager Duncan McLeish

Drilling seeds the PK way

says: “The Profile Plus range shares many of the features found on our established range of Euromix wagons. “Key features such as adjustable counter-knives, electronic weighing system and customisable feedout options allow cows to be fed

consistently and accurately, while the integrated straw-blower adds to overall versatility and value for money, making the Profile Plus perfect for the majority of modern dairy and beef farming enterprises.” The range starts at £41,034 and ■ rises to £43,687.

New drill and harvester developments Agritechnica sees not only developments to Grimme’s selfpropelled sugar beet harvesters, but also the launch of its new precision drill for sugar and fodder beet, chicory and oilseed rape. The Matrix drill will be available as a 12- or 18-row machine, with 45, 48 or 50cm row width. It’s been developed by beet equipment manufacturer Kleine, which Grimme took over three years ago. Standard features include a mulch seed unit with two front running cutter discs, two Farmflex wheels for depth control and adjustable mechanical load of the seeding unit up to 90kg/row. Hydraulic adjustment up to 190kg is an option, and a standard seed unit is also available. Individual seeds drop only 2.5cm from the seed plate into the furrow for exact positioning. Heavy, free-swinging rubber-covered pressure rollers ensure good seedto-soil contact and good covering of the seed. There are four different

units offered, to suit a range of soil conditions. Matrix’s Clever Planting drives the inner-filled seed plate by electro motors and also creates the planting tracks. It allows planting closer to the next seeder unit. The ability to plant in triangular/delta/matrix or parallel planting is standard. When used with GPS, seeding can be automatically stopped at headlands or for section control. The operator-friendly Matrix CCI 100 colour touch-screen terminal is Isobus-compatible. Two boxes give space to carry extra seed and a vacuum cleaner for complete seed emptying. The seed plate has a tool-free springloaded emptying flap. The Matrix can also be fitted with a granulate distributor. Meanwhile, the Maxtron harvester now has a 530hp 6-cylinder Mercedes-Benz engine of 12.8 litre capacity. This meets the latest exhaust emission standard stage IV, and engine management developments have helped reduce

p The Matrix beet drill from Grimme. u The Rexor 630 now has a 40kph drive speed option.

fuel consumption both in the field and on the road. The Maxtron will also benefit from the new ErgoDrive armrest – a feature already used in the Rexor. Major control functions can now be programmed on the armrest joystick, leaving the touch-screen display view uninterrupted. For the Rexor 620 and 630, a 32 or 40kph drive speed reduces

unproductive time on the road. All Grimme self-propelled harvesters are fitted with efficient and economical LED lights as standard, giving a non-reflecting wide illumination of the working area.

Antidote to dark damp days A Vision upgrade – worth more than £1,000 – is being offered with any purchase of a new Kubota M128GX-II or MG135GX-II agricultural tractor made before 31st December. Including enhanced LED work lights, enhanced LED driving lights, twin beacons and rear mudguard extensions, the Vision pack should prime the product for the winter season ahead. Buyers will also receive a specialedition drivers’ kit comprising Kubota-branded holdall, bodywarmer, flask, hat, pen and notepad. Kubota Agriculture business development manager Rob Edwards says: “This limited-edition campaign is all about adding value to our product and service proposition, both to our dealer network and their end-user customers.

“We know it’s currently a challenging market. Despite this, however, I’m pleased that our MGX-II series is going from strength to strength.” The M128GX-II and M135GX-II feature an advanced 6.1-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder Kubota CRS diesel engine that’s designed for greater efficiency, while still providing enough torque and power, says Kubota. Delivering maximum performance and low emissions, both tractors combine a diesel oxidation catalyst, diesel particulate filter muffler and exhaust gas recirculation to reduce harmful emissions and ensure compliance with Euro Stage IIIB. Kubota’s Intelli-Shift 8 transmission offers eight speeds and

3-range power-shift and auto mode to give a total of 24 forward and 24 reverse gears with minimal shift shock and power loss. The auto mode sensitivity adjustment dial automatically shifts the transmission when there is a change in terrain or load, depending on road conditions and the amount of acceleration needed. In addition there’s a downshift of two gears when the 3-point hitch is raised in field mode. An optional fully-integrated front loader has been incorporated to provide better visibility and clear sight lines to the buckets, while individual flow control valves give control over the oil-flow rate of auxiliary hydraulic valves and work more efficiently at optimum speeds. The MGX hydraulic capabilities

The series-topping M135GX-II.

provide an “impressive” lifting force and oil flow. An unload valve also minimises loss to hydraulic pressure, so that greater power can be attained during PTO operations when the 3-point hitch isn’t being used. All these machines come with a five-year extended warranty package and a range of finance packages through Kubota Finance. ■

Trailblazing dealers needed Europe’s largest producer of agricultural and industrial trailers, Fliegl, is looking to expand its network of UK dealers. To date the German company, best known for its manure and slurry machinery and push-off trailers, has dealt with just a few select individuals or farmers who

approached it directly. With a new factory in Lincolnshire opened last August, however, it now wants to establish a dedicated dealer network. Commercial director Jose Viedma says: “Significant potential exists for Fliegl within the UK. We want to work with people who

share our enthusiasm and expertise – professional dealers who have a long and trusted track record. Many of them will be highly-regarded family-owned businesses, as we are. “Quite rightly, our customers expect only the very highest standards. The best way to ensure that is to use as many local dealers

as possible. They live in the area, know their customers, and know what they need.” Dealers are wanted, not only for Fliegl’s conventional tipping and push-off trailers, but also for its range of products for the renewable energy industry – particularly for biomass and biogas plants.

Machinery nouveau Due to be presented at Agritechnica earlier in the month, GrégoireBesson’s new R6 plough range will feature on the company’s stand at CropTec. Grégoire-Besson claims to have dominated the vari-width plough market for several years. Now it produces a totally new plough range for the mechanical-adjustment market segment. The 4, 5 and 6f R6 ploughs are characterised by the new headstock equipped with Grégoire-Besson technology such as: 3-point-linkage suspension; angle adjustment; headstock-to-frame parallelogram linkage; hydraulic independent front furrow adjustment and plough alignment. To optimise traction and lateral

forces, the R6 will be equipped with new offset-leg elements. This technology, combined with the new Z-design frame, allows a better wheel position. Wheel track is taken out and load transfer is optimised. The new range will be completed next year with the addition of the R8 range in 5, 6 and 7f versions. To cater for larger farms, the company is also expanding its range with the Voyager second generation. Designed specifically for tractors without 3-point linkage, this plough range is characterised by its articulated front axle. This Grégoire-Besson innovation fits most tractors and improves handling while manoeuvring. The company also has Terros – a new range of large-width semi-

Innovation demonstration New Holland will be using CropTec 2015 to showcase its latest Precision Land Management (PLM) technologies.

Time to think lime An opportunity exists to make savings on the cost of lime and macro-nutrient applications by backloading LimeX70 from Bury St Edmunds, Newark and Wissington factories throughout the sugar beet processing season or, currently, LimeX45 from Cantley. The British Survey of Fertiliser Practice shows that lime applications remain significantly lower than a decade ago in both grassland and arable systems (see graph). Yet the consequential yield loss from suboptimal pH can be “catastrophic”, says British Sugar.

To maintain productivity, it recommends planning for liming before crop yield and quality potential is compromised by acidity and/or available calcium. Sub-optimal pH will have a “significant” impact on the efficient utilisation of costly N, P and K inputs that are fundamental to crop development. ‘Saving’ on lime is, therefore, a false economy. LimeX also contains a valuable integral nutrient package. A pH-maintenance application of LimeX70 at 5t/ha (2t/acre) provides a minimum of 50kg/ha P2O5, 35kg/

ha MgO and 60kg/ha SO3 – typically worth £60/ha. LimeX is available to all farmers. British Sugar’s soil sampling service includes detailed field pH mapping with liming recommendations via FACTS-qualified advisor for conventional and organic farms. It offers flexible delivery and

application packages directly to its customers: alternatively LimeX is available via its network of regional distributors. ■

The beneﬁts of backup Making the step up to inch-perfect GPS services from RTK Farming can be a costly move. But that’s mainly due to the equipment needed in the tractor cab to receive the signal and steer, the company points out. The key to any such move will always be the backup and support received from suppliers, it adds. RTK Farming was created

for farmers by farmers, so it fully understands all the pitfalls of changing to a new way of doing things – and the need to implement these changes as quickly as possible. To make sure any move to RTK accuracy goes without a hitch, before an order for a new GPS kit is made, a representative will visit to assess signal strengths to ensure

there is suitable access to the network. Once the equipment is installed, there’ll be another visit to provide the secure access codes to the network and to carry out any necessary on-vehicle training with the driver. On top of this, RTK Farming provides training twice a year – pre-spring and pre-harvest – so

that the full potential of the investment can be exploited. With any new technology and change in working methods, there will always be difficulties. But, RTK Farming says it always has someone available to discuss issues and help to find solutions to ensure its customers’ equipment is up and running as quickly as possible.

From 2016, Claas will be adding an even more powerful tractor to its successful Axion 800 series – the Axion 870, equipped as standard with the continuously-variable Cmatic transmission. With this new model, the company continues its programme to develop the Axion 800 series, which now incorporates seven models starting at 205hp. As the new series flagship, the Axion 870 has up to 295hp at its disposal, equipped with the triedand-tested 6-cylinder FPT engine, which has a 6.7 litre displacement and fulfils the Stage IV (Tier 4) emissions standard. At speeds above 14kph and whenever PTO work is being performed, the Claas Power Management system automatically provides additional torque and an extra 15hp of power through electronic engine control. Overall the new Axion 870 is 31hp more powerful than the Axion 850 Cmatic, despite having the same operational weight. This makes it suitable for an even larger range of applications in fastmoving field operations, for PTO work, and for road travel. Like the entire Axion 800 series, it will be equipped with a new

front axle as standard. This is up to 380kg lighter than the previous axle, and allows an increase in the permissible gross vehicle weight of up to 1t. Due to its low unladen weight combined with high power, the Axion 870 is ideal for light cultivation and heavy-duty PTO operations such as baling, slurry spreading or grass harvesting. This makes it an attractive alternative to the next model up in the Axion 900 series, especially for use between multiple farms and for large farm operations. The Axion 870 is equipped with CEBIS – Claas electronic on-board information system – with up to seven electronic spool valves and a CEBIS terminal integrated into the armrest. Thanks to the Claas Sequence Management system, the Axion is capable of intelligent headland and implement management. All of the important functions of both tractor and equipment can be conveniently controlled using function keys in the armrest or with the Cmotion multifunction lever. In addition the Axion 870 can be equipped ex-factory with the GPS Pilot steering system from Claas, ■ with S10 or S7 terminal.

Land brought back to life A specialist waste management company is looking to talk with landowners who own inert soil tips, redundant quarries and landfills, or areas of land where there has been industrial activity. Suffolk-based Sanderson Environmental recycles a wide range of organic wastes for use on sites such as these across the UK. It works on behalf of water utility companies and national waste management companies to recycle organic wastes such

d d . r , . e o

as sewage sludge and composts, diverting them away from landfill and helping to restore industrial low-nutrient soils to agricultural use. The company offers a full land spreading service to landowners who have land restoration sites available. Consultancy advice is also given on the aftercare of restored sites with renewable energy projects such as solar farms and shortrotation coppice.

Midlands Machinery Show

Machinery show gains momentum Now in its second year, the Midlands Machinery Show is a key event in the business calendar for agricultural businesses in the Midlands – and further afield. Appreciated for its ‘intimate’ feel, it features the newest and best machinery for modern farming methods, attracting manufacturers, dealers and buyers alike. Visitors to the Show will be able to choose from a programme of technical seminars which will see industry experts discuss relevant issues. Horsch general manager Stephen Burcham said: “We were at the show last year and it was great for us and we feel it’s important to

have a presence there again. “With 5,000 in attendance last year and potentially more this year, it’s an important event for us and one we strategically want to be a part of. “We had some excellent feedback last year and plenty of enquiries which is key to our business in the quieter part of the year. “The show is becoming recognised as a great place to get in the eye-line of potential customers, meet existing traders and network with key innovators in the industry. We feel it is certainly worth attending.” Show manager George Taylor,

said: “We are excited that we are attracting high calibre clientele such as Horsch again to the show. “Horsch is a huge company which deals with businesses all over Europe, so we are obviously delighted to welcome them back. “We hope to exceed the number of traders and exhibitors from last year’s event,” he added. To claim NRoSO points, visitors sign in and register at the Seminar Theatre in the Stanley Sheldon Hall.

Bringing sparkle to the show Visitors to the Midlands Machinery Show will be the first in the UK to see the all-new Zetor Crystal 160, being shown by The Tractor Shop. Indeed, it’s expected to be one of the show’s big attractions. Zetor UK’s Peter Warner says: “This sees the return of a well-loved name from the Czech Republic-based

manufacturer. “The Crystal range was introduced in 1975 as Zetor’s firstever 6-cylinder tractor, and this latest tractor marks the return of 6-cylinder power to the brand. “Zetors are designed to provide the best combination of engine power and tractor weight.”

The newcomer is being offered in 144hp and 163hp versions. The original Crystal was well known for its crisp, angular lines, and echoes of this can be seen in its styling. Zetor is also hoping to showcase the Major 80, from the opposite end of the scale, to illustrate the diversity of its entire range.

Midlands Machinery Show

A new generation in nozzles Fresh from its planned launch by Lechler at this month’s Agritechnica exhibition, a new spray nozzle will be taking centrestage on Altek International’s stand at the Midlands Machinery Show. An asymmetric air-induction double flat-fan nozzle in ceramic material in sizes 02—08, the IDTA is said to set a new benchmark in double flat-fan application technology. User safety has also been improved. Spray direction 30 degrees to the front and 50 degrees to the rear has shown best results in numerous tests, with high levels of deposition on vertical targets and even distribution on the front and

back, especially at faster forward speeds. With the spray angle at 120 degrees to the front and 90 degrees to the back the same effective spray width at the target is achieved, unlike any other asymmetric double flat-fan on the market. Overspray at field borders is technically impossible, says Altek. In addition, with the border nozzles, sharp demarcation is possible. A 60:40 split of spray volume front to back gives an optimal cross distribution, even when the distance to the target varies because of slopes or boom movement. Droplet size from the front jet is

slightly smaller than that from the back jet. The number of droplets in the spray is increased and, therefore, coverage is optimised. With this well-balanced droplet spectrum, the total coverage at vertical targets can be doubled compared to standard airinduction flat-fans, Altek says. LERAP 3 Star drift approval up to five bar is the best in class. A one-piece assembly makes fitting onto the nozzle body easy, while the new Click Clean injector design allows manual removal for cleaning without the need for tools, even while wearing protective gloves. The IDTA nozzle.

Your dryer needs YOU – to book a service Exhibitor K&J Engineering is encouraging growers to book their pre-harvest grain dryer service at the event. Catering for Alvan Blanch, Allmet, Bentall Rowlands, Carier, Farrell, Perry, Svegma, Tornum, Turbodan, Vertec and Wilder oil-fired dryers,

Midlands Machinery Show

Going with the grain Claiming to be the UK’s leading supplier for grain drying, cleaning, storage, handling and ventilation systems, BDC Systems is making the journey from Wiltshire to be at the Midland Machinery Show (stand LE15). The company reports another successful season for the well-known Svegma grain dryers and Skandia elevating and conveying equipment. Totalling more than 630tph, a good variety of continuous-flow dryers has been installed this season – from 10tph small indoor units to 75tph commercial dryers. Over the years, apart from upgraded fans, burners and control

panel, the basic dryer has changed little – proving that the design was correct from the outset, says BDC. Indeed, spare parts are still available for dryers that are more than 30 years old. Sales of Skandia elevating and conveying equipment have increased by 15 per cent this season, thanks to competitive prices, extended warranties, quality products and fast deliveries. With the addition of catwalks, silo sweep conveyors and heavy-duty curved machines up to 200tph, the brand’s future looks “very promising”, says BDC. As Skandia’s official UK agent, it

keeps a “vast” amount of spares in stock for immediate delivery. The company’s sales of ventilation equipment have also increased this year, with more new stores having below-floor ventilation systems installed for even airflow and ease of loading and unloading. Heavy-duty level-floor laterals, corraducts and ventilation fans from 0.25–7.50kW are also available from stock. Further enhancing BDC’s portfolio is cleaning equipment ranging from in-line and heavy-duty aspirators, rotary-drum pre-cleaners and graders. Good-quality aspiration-type pre-

cleaners are proving to be essential pieces of equipment, it says. Installed ahead of dryers, they minimise the amount of light trash from entering and becoming a potential fire hazard.

Scholarship scheme supporter Farm plastic waste recycling company Agri.cycle is announcing its support for two farming and rural crafts scholarship schemes. Celebrating 10 years since its launch, the firm is linking with the Worshipful Company of Farmers and the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) – a charity formed and supported by Royal Warrant holders.

Based in Lincolnshire but operating nationally via a series of collection points, Agri.cycle will be donating a percentage of the revenue raised from recycling agricultural plastic and shotgun cartridges originating from either Royal Warrant holders/QEST supporters or members of the Worshipful Company of Farmers back to their scholarship schemes.

QEST funds the education of talented craftspeople through college courses, apprenticeships or one-onone training with masters, while the Worshipful Company of Farmers is a dynamic organisation dedicated to advancing the farming industry and all those in it, says Agri.cycle. Managing director Robert Moore says: “We’re delighted to offer our

support to these two deserving schemes. “I myself am a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Farmers, and Agri.cycle is a proud Royal Warrant holder. “Through these well-respected schemes Agri.cycle is helping to support the future for farming and rural crafts.” ■

Harvest tyre developments Initially introduced at Tillage Live in September, new additions to Mitas’ Cyclic Harvest Operations (CHO) tyre range can also be seen at the Midlands Machinery Show. These tyres now use even lower inflation pressures to further minimise soil damage. In total, seven new tyres are joining the range, including a popular-sized VF710/70R42 HC3000 CHO designed to

run at low pressures in the field and also for short road distances between. Mitas UK technical manager Kirk Walker says: “The CHO tyres were designed jointly with Claas to accommodate high-speed roadwork and good field performance. “The big advantage is that they can be run at much lower inflation pressures in the field than would normally be considered. Indeed, the

CHO tyre can be run at a 31 per cent lower pressure for the same load compared with a standard tyre of the same width.” This lower pressure gives the CHO tyre a 24 per cent increase in footprint to spread the load and protect soils when running with full grain tanks and mounted cutter bars without the need to go to greater widths. “Not only do the new tyres cause less

soil compaction, but they also ensure harvesters can be run safely on days that would be marginal for other tyres in terms of ground conditions,” adds Kirk. “They could probably give 10—20 per cent more harvest days than a conventional tyre in a catchy year.” Other sizes to be made available are: 680/80R42 CHO SFT; 800/70R38 CHO SFT; 900/60R38 CHO SFT; and 900/60R42 CHO SFT. ■

Midlands Machinery Show

Marsh Seward celebrate ﬁrst year with Lemken Claas dealers Marsh and Seward have seen an extremely positive response since taking on the Lemken franchise last year and this will be a major feature of their stand at this year’s Midlands Machinery Show, they point out. To launch the addition of the Lemken franchise for Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, and the range of sprayers, cultivators, drills and ploughs, Marsh and Seward arranged four very successful large scale working demonstrations last spring, resulting in a high level of sales. The benefits to the customer of just concentrating on the Claas and Lemken franchises is evident, say the companies. It enables them to concentrate on these two product ranges, offer a high level of parts availability at each branch and offer customers a complete range of machines at a competitive ex-stock price, supported by technicians who have been trained to a high level by Lemken. On display will be the “world’s

most popular cultivator” – the Rubin compact disc harrow, plus the Karat tine cultivator, Zirkon power harrow, Solitair drill and both ranges of plough; including the new DuraMaxx plough body that offers 75 per cent less wear for reduced downtime.

Show competition To celebrate the dealers’ first year with Lemken, at this year’s Midlands Machinery Show they are offering visitors the opportunity to win the use of a Lemken Sirrius 10, 1,600-litre, 24m sprayer for a month in the spring. Special show price offers are available on a Zirkon 8 power harrow and more information on seasonal finance offers, including zero per cent (terms and conditions do apply) can be discussed on the stand. Marsh and Seward add that parts needs for the coming season can be discussed at the show and on large orders they are including a free driver’s kit.

Large silo marks 60th year In its 60th anniversary year Dan-Corn has launched a 60ft stirring silo which has a capacity of up to 1,675t. This unique silo comes with five stirring augers to ensure perfect mixing of the dried grain and a homogenous quality of the dried crops.

Midlands Machinery Show

Kits and components A larger stand for Hydrokit UK in Hall L4 at the Midlands Machinery Show will give the company more space to display its extensive range of innovative electro-hydraulic kits, quality hydraulic and electric components, and essential items of workshop equipment. Hydrokit UK’s electro-hydraulic kits are designed to improve the performance, safety and ergonomics or all types of mobile equipment. They range from pressure-relief kits for telehandler attachment couplings to complete electro-hydraulic circuits for machinery manufacturers. Dealing with Hydrokit UK – which refers to itself as “the force behind

hydraulics” and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year – has the advantage of a single point of contact for hydraulics and electrics to give a complete solution. Hydraulic components are sourced from quality suppliers, and the company’s R&D department has the capability to rigorously test any component prior to being added to its range. Servicing, maintaining and repairing modern mobile equipment wouldn’t be possible without professional workshop equipment, the company adds. Whether oil filtration and dispensing, pressure- and flow-

testing, electrical diagnostics or environmental cleanliness, it has an extensive range of valuefor-money products without gimmickry, it says. Tools such as these help technicians diagnose problems quickly to keep machine wheels and tracks rolling, the company adds.

Celebrating Hydrofit UK’s 10th anniversary are (l to r): Hydrokit export manager Gildas Guichon; Hydrofit UK technical sales representative Ludovic Wagner; Hydrokit managing director Claude Bonnaud; Hydrokit president Jacques Audureau and Hydrokit UK sales manager Dave Freeman.

Taking stock between seasons Steve Thorley Potato Equipment is taking advantage of the timing of the Midlands Machinery Show to exhibit its planting and tillage equipment ready for next spring. The company’s Steve Thorley says: “Things are quiet in the potato world – harvest over and growers looking ahead to spring.” On the stand will be the RT170B

bed-tiller. This is a single-bed machine with specially-coated speed blades for a long working life. The interchangeable rotor can be fitted with a stubble rotor or hook tine. The latter, often used in combination with Techneat Engineering’s Terracast broadcaster, is a very effective way of

incorporating chemical into the bed, says Steve. “We also have clamping elements for the tines that allow for inter-row work,” he adds. Also on show will be the RMP2J planter – a high-capacity mechanical planter with a robust 45mm axle, large-diameter belt rollers to reduce flicking and a shape-forming hood. Hoods can be set to produce

beds or rows of any width. Steve says: “It’s a simple yet effective planter with very little to go wrong, based on the original little grey Reekie planters that are still going strong today. “Alongside our Lincolnshiremade Reekie equipment, we’ll have information on all brands of used equipment from across the UK.”

Materials Handlers

Talking about telehandlers Telescopic loaders are high on the list of essential equipment for many farms where lifting, loading and stacking jobs are an important part of the workload. Mike Williams reports. Recent developments in the telehandler market include a switch to the latest Tier IV Final version of the JCB EcoMAX engine for most of the Loadall models. The new engines, to be announced at this year’s Agritechnica event in Germany, also have a more compact SCR emissions control system. Loadalls with the new engine also feature hydraulic system improvements giving quicker response and cycle times, and increased flow rates are available for high demand attachments. Also new from JCB is a list of specification improvements for the Loadall 526-56 and 527-58 Agri models. The updated 526-56 model has a four speed powershift torque converter transmission and the addition of Vari-Speed to the 527-58 two-range hydrostatic transmission allows engine and travel speed to be altered independently. Both models offer improved driver comfort. Engine developments also feature in the latest Caterpillar telescopic loader range distributed by Finning UK. The C series models with rated load capacities between 2,500–4,999kg, and lift heights from 5.6m upwards, are powered by improved Caterpillar engines and the specification also includes a new powershift drive system for improved performance. All models have three steering modes and boom functions are controlled by a single joystick lever. The Caterpillar range also includes skid-steer loaders with capacities from 635–1,678kg powered by 2.2- or 3.8-litre engines. Merlo made a big advance in telehandler versatility when it introduced the original Multifarmer models with a rear linkage and PTO.

The latest Multifarmer MF40.7CS and MF40.9CS models are powered by Deutz engines with maximum output increased to 156hp to boost the work capacity, and almost 90 per cent of engine power is available at the PTO. Load capacity for both models is 4,000kg, lift heights are 7.0 and 9.0m respectively and the transmission is Merlo’s CVT type M-CVTronic drive system. The entry-level Merlo model is the 75hp Ultra Compact with 2,500kg capacity, 5.9m lift height and only 1.8m overall width. CVT type transmissions are also available in other telehandler ranges, and an example is Manitou’s MLT 960 model equipped with a John Deere engine. It is a high output model with a 9m lift height and a 6,000kg maximum load capacity or 4,000kg to the full lift height. The MLT 960 is the most powerful model in the Manitou range with a 141hp engine. Other models are available with Deutz and Perkins engines and there is also a Kubota engine in the 75hp MTL 625 which is equipped with a stepless hydrostatic transmission.

The Manitou MLT 960 loader has a 141hp John Deere engine and a CVT transmission.

Transmission choices The transmission choices available in the Dieci loader range include the recently introduced Vario EVO2 which was developed jointly by Dieci working

with Bosch and Sauer Danfoss. Based on the Dieci hydrostatic system, it has two hydrostatic motors of unequal capacity. For travelling and other low power situations only the smaller, more economical motor is working, but both motors are used in more demanding situations. Vario EVO2 provides stepless speed adjustment up to 40kph and a choice of four operating modes. Dieci also offers the PECS electronic control system that co-ordinates the engine speed and transmission settings to match the workload while maintaining optimum fuel efficiency. There are three power outputs available in the Farmlift telehandler range from Case IH, including 121 and 143hp for the full size models and the compact 525 model is 74hp. The 525 is only 1.80m wide and 1.99m to the top of the cab roof, and the lift capacity is 2,500kg. The three Farmlifts with 121hp engines all have a 4x3 powershift transmission, but this is replaced by a 6x3 Auto-Shift drive for the two 143hp models. The full sized models have load capacities ranging from 3,200–4,200kg, lift heights are from 6.1–9.1m and they all have a 40kph speed capability. New features to be introduced throughout the Scorpion telehandler range have already made their first appearance on the recently introduced 7050 model. The 7050 is a mid-range loader with up to 7.0m lift height and 4.8t maximum load capacity. The power unit is a 122hp Deutz engine and the Varipower Plus transmission has three modes providing maximum speeds of 7, 15 and 40kph. Features on the 7050 that will appear on the other Scorpions include a pushbutton control that returns the bucket attachment to a pre-set position, and the new Canbus electronic link between the engine and the transmission keeps the engine at peak operating efficiency to reduce fuel consumption and noise levels.

Case IH offers five full sized Farmlift models with lift heights between 6.1–9.1m.

Boom suspension has become a popular feature on telescopic loaders, helping to increase output by improving driver comfort and load stability to allow faster working speeds. The top five models in the New Holland LM series have boom suspension as standard equipment, and they also have a powershift with 4 forward speeds for the 121hp models, increasing to six speeds on the two 142hp loaders. Maximum lift heights are 6.1– 9.1m and the engines are supplied by FPT. There are also two smaller LM models powered by 75 and 101hp Kubota engines and featuring hydrostatic drive – with boom suspension available at extra cost. One of the attractions of telehandlers with pivot steering is good manoeuvrability where space is restricted. Some of the leading manufacturers offer one or two pivot steer models, but the Schäffer range has 10 models including the recently introduced 9630T powered by a 123hp Deutz 4-cylinder engine and providing 5.3m lifting height and 4,200kg load capacity. The rangetopping model is the 157hp 9660T lifting up to 5,000kg with 6.1m lift height and 30kph top speed, and the entry level model is the 2345T using a 45hp Kubota engine to power a 2-range transmission with a 20kph maximum top speed, a 1,900kg load capacity and 3.75m lift height. ■

Materials Handlers

No regrets for Dorset farm after returning to known brand The 541-70 is proving ideal for the Dorset farm. “It pushes like a train,” said main user Dave Thompson.

Tempted by an attractive deal to purchase a different brand of materials handler and move away from JCB after many years, a Dorset business quickly regretted its decision and has now got one of JCB’s latest Loadalls back on the farm fleet, and normal service has been resumed. David Williams reports. Farming 570 hectares (1,400 acres) of arable and grassland near Blandford, in Dorset, and operating a growing specialist animal feed business, the Farquharson family depends on its materials handler to be 100 per cent reliable. Trading as Eastbury Estates, the business operates from Bussey Stool Farm, Tarrant Gunville, and the farmed area includes approximately 445ha (1,100 acres) of arable crops, 40ha (100 acres) of woodland and 80ha (200 acres) of grass. Arable cropping is oilseed rape, beans, winter wheat, winter barley, and spring barley as well as linseed and the soils range from clay cap to chalk and loam, with flints being a problem for machinery and tyres. Most of the land is owned, but the family also carries out contract work for the next-door farm, making the most of its machinery fleet. A small herd of fattening cattle is kept, Continentals bought in at 12 months, fed intensively for 4–5 months and finished. Feed is mixed on farm, using one of the four millmix feed lorries operated by B&W Feeds, which is based on the farm and run by managing director and owner Jim Farquharson, alongside his daughter and son-in-law Kathryn and Dave Thompson. The feed business specialises in on-farm mixing using the customers

own home grown cereals; other ingredients such as minerals, molasses and protein can be supplied by B&W Feeds. A feed store/ blending plant is also based on site where organic and conventional feeds can be made for cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. A new lorry was purchased this year to replace an existing vehicle but demand has been such that the decision was made to retain and refurbish the older lorry, and open up a second operating base in Kent, allowing an efficient service to be provided from Kent across to Cornwall and as far north as Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.

supply and mixing business means the loader is also used to handle feed ingredients in and out of the store, and it is used with a bagging bucket to fill tote bags for supply to customers. “It really does get roped into every farm activity,” explained Dave. “We would be lost without it as it is used for so many smaller tasks as well as for its main roles. Most of its work is with a bucket, but we also use it with pallet forks and with the bagging bucket. It is extremely

versatile. We used to have a tractor with a front loader, but the JCB is far more efficient for handling work and capable of carrying out all the tasks with ease, but this does mean we rely totally on the Loadall and if a fault were to occur, we would need a backup machine quite quickly.” The farm has operated JCB Loadalls since 1999, and Dave explained that, despite his 53070 machine always having been efficient and reliable, an attractive deal offered for the supply of a competitor machine by a local dealer saw a change of brand for a while. “The machine offered had a few advantages to its specification, including suspension for the cab, which appealed to us,” he said. “The main attraction though was the lower cost to change from JCB to the other brand. However, after taking delivery we quickly realised there was a downside in terms of reliability, as we suffered problem after problem. The 530-70 had worked 8,000–9,000hrs and had been excellent and we could see there was no way the machine we had bought to replace it was going to achieve anything similar. We decided there was no option but to return to a brand we knew we could rely on and, without bothering with a demonstration, we placed an order for a new JCB Loadall 541-70 with 4t lift capacity and 7m reach.” The farm also operates a JCB continued over...

Varied role The farm’s telescopic handler has a varied but busy role, operating almost daily, and is expected to work long hours during busier periods. Grain handling tasks include pushing up as the stores are filled, and loading lorries, and the handler is also used to transport 600kg bags of granular fertiliser to the spreader in the fields and to keep the drill supplied with seed. Most of the farm’s straw is sold to a contractor, who loads and transports his own bales, but the farm’s own loader is also called in to help, particularly if bales are in the way of post-harvest cultivations. The growing feed

Along with its wide mix of traditional farm tasks, the new Loadall spends a lot of time handling and bagging feed ingredients for the milling and mixing company, which also operates from the site.

he said cycle times are quick, even

On the road, the 40kph transmission is an advantage, and the Michelin industrial tyres specified give a comfortable ride and are expected to wear well.

Fastrac 3230 Xtra, purchased second-hand in January 2014, replacing a 10-year-old machine with 12,000hrs on the clock. This is used mainly for spraying and spreading as well as haulage tasks and it also does top cultivations if other tractors aren’t available. “It came with 900hrs on it, and we have added another 2,000 since we bought it,” said Dave. “It has been superb and very reliable, and is one of the other factors which gave us the confidence to return to a Loadall.” One of the latest generation of JCB machines, the 541-70 is larger than the previous Loadall operated by the farm, but was chosen because of the steadily increasing workload. “We seldom need to lift 4t, but decided it was better to opt for a machine with power in reserve rather than something which would be operating close to its limits,” explained Dave. “The new Loadall is available with a choice of engines, and we opted for a larger power unit than is standard, which means if we have to use it for more trailer work in the future, then it will handle the loads more easily, as some of our hills are quite steep. We are seeing a big difference when filling the grain stores during harvest. It pushes like a train, and in effect it also gives us a reserve tractor as it is quite capable of handling any of our trailers if needed.” In its first few months of operation, the new Loadall has quickly proved successful. “It feels so much better put together than the other machine, and we are seeing significant improvements over our previous Loadall,” observed Dave. “Everything is in the right place, and falls naturally to hand, and the joystick now includes all the main operating functions making it so much easier to drive. Forward and reverse are selected on the joystick

and there are new features such as the bucket shaker which is brilliant, and we use it every day as it allows us to handle full buckets of corn, with minimal spillages. There is the ability to select constant pumping for the hydraulics, using a button on the armrest, and that makes it easier to power the yard brush and saves us holding the button all the time, as we used to.” The cab is low to the ground making it easy to get in and out, which we have to do frequently and, although we had worried that the huge telescopic boom would impair visibility, especially with the cab being so low, the vision all around is actually good and we quickly got used to the boom’s position and size. Other useful features include excellent air conditioning which can be set to blow on the operator, or on the windows to keep them clear in the winter. There is also a roof-mounted wiper, complete with a washer jet, to ensure visibility through the roof screen is maintained when operating inside buildings or with the boom in its highest positions.” One thing that is missed compared to the farm’s last machine is the cab suspension as the farm’s users found it effective when travelling at higher road speeds, and it is something they would have welcomed on the JCB. However, the latest suspension seat is very comfortable, effectively soaking up the worst of the bumps and something else that has helped is the upgrade to Michelin BibLoad 460/70R24 industrial tyres rather than agricultural cleated tyres which were on the previous machines. The specialist tyres were chosen mainly for their greater wear resistance as, previously, a set of tyres would last just 2,000hrs or so, but they also provide a smoother ride, and Dave said their performance and longer

working life should easily justify their modest extra cost. Another feature, which had proved popular on the other machine, was an electronic handbrake, which was set at the touch of a button. Dave said the simplicity of its use meant it was more likely to be set each time an operator left the seat, whereas the Loadall retains a mechanical handbrake which takes a little more effort to apply. “We do use it,” he said, “but anything that makes operation easier is always welcome.” In-cab storage is good, with a compartment under the seat large enough for tools and lifting straps, and easily accessed from outside the cab. Purchased with the new Loadall was a larger bucket, to take advantage of the higher capacity and to speed up grain handling tasks. Previously a 1.5t bucket was used, but a new Strimech 2.5t capacity bucket was chosen, and Dave said the machine handles it easily and feels completely stable when the bucket is full. JCB’s overload protection system is proving trouble-free and doesn’t interfere with operation on the farm. As the boom is extended and approaches its safe working limit, rather than stopping suddenly, its action slows progressively and Dave said this means the operator can decide how best to handle the situation, rather than having to retract the boom, dump some of the load and start again, and it also removes any harshness from its operation. Another feature he likes is the digging mode, which locks out the overload system when the boom is fully retracted allowing maximum tear-away force to be used when digging into soil or muck heaps, for example. Hydraulic performance is excellent, according to Dave, and

when the engine is at low revs, which makes smooth operation easy to achieve. Other popular features include selectable 2- and 4wd, and Dave said the difference it makes in terms of manoeuvrability around the yard is considerable. “Our previous machines had permanent 4wd,” he said, “but when switching it in and out while operating in the yard, it is obvious how much transmission stress and tyre scrub is avoided by selecting 2wd. This new model turns ridiculously tight for the size of machine and despite being slightly longer than the previous handlers we operated, this is just as manoeuvrable.” The rear pick-up hitch has also impressed operators, being very easy to see using the large rearmounted mirror, a work light shining on the hitch itself makes seeing it in low light levels much easier.

Servicing and ease of use Fluid levels can be checked in seconds, and the grease nipples are all easily accessed. The latest Loadall engines meet Tier 4 interim emissions continued over...

Access for maintenance is good, with daily checks taking just a few minutes. A larger 145hp engine was specified to provide plenty of power in reserve.

regulations without the need for Adblue, and Dave commented that, so far, fuel consumption appears to be very reasonable, especially for the

size and power of the handler. The latest Loadalls feature an improved cooling system, and draw clean air in at the front and blow it out at the top, to reduce dust being blown up

from the ground. There is a reversing fan function, which can be set to automatic and which Dave said is obviously effective as, while working in particularly dusty environments, he is occasionally aware of a sudden discharge of dust from the intake vents. The Loadall was purchased with the manufacturer’s optional 5-year extended warranty, which Dave said is reassuring. “All our lorries come with a 7-year warranty and that gives us considerable confidence. The JCB warranty covers everything, rather than just the engine and drivetrain and when one looks at what is included, the cost was actually pretty reasonable. We just wouldn’t purchase a significant piece of machinery without something similar now.” At the time of Farmers Guide’s visit, harvest was in full swing and the handler was in high demand. “It is still a recent purchase, but is already impressing everyone who uses it,” said Jim. “We depend heavily on it, as it performs so many tasks for the

arable, mill and mix and livestock enterprises and even though this new machine is larger than any of our previous handlers, it is just as easy to work with in tight spaces as its manoeuvrability and ease of control is so good. But the main reason that we are so pleased with our purchase is the relief at being back with a brand we trust.” ■

High lift and high productivity Originally previewed at Cereals 2014, Manitou’s MLT 960 has a working height of 9m and a load capacity of 6t. With a 141hp John Deere Interim Tier 4 (Stage IIIB) engine, it’s ideal for a wide range of applications requiring repetitive and intensive cycles. With its high capacity and performance, it meets the requirements of large farms or cooperatives, says Manitou UK. Performance of the continuously-variable transmission (CVT) can be tailored to the specific handling requirement in the range 0—40kph. Torque is optimised according to speed for improved efficiency, better drawbar pull and lower fuel consumption. With the desired operating speed selected, the CVT automatically responds with the most fuel-efficient combination of engine speed and drive-train selection. An inching function is standard, allowing easy and precise movements. Heavy-duty capability is helped by the LSU (load-sensing ultra) hydraulic system for smooth and precise handling operations at a hydraulic flow rate of 180 litres/min. The JSM control lever allows the operator to achieve simultaneous and responsive movements for greater efficiency and less driver fatigue – and therefore better productivity. An intuitive dashboard with digital screen provides important information on, for example, maintenance intervals, gear engaged, boom angle and fuel consumption. Launched at Lamma last January, the MLT 1040 has a 10m lift height and 4,000kg load capacity. It’s the higher-lift version of the 8m lift-height MLT 840. Both are equipped with

The Manitou MLT 960.

a 137hp John Deere 4.5 litre engine that complies with Interim Tier 4 (Stage IIIB) standards with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve combined with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The cooling system is said to offer efficiency and economy, featuring an electronic regulating device which controls the fan speed automatically according to engine, transmission and hydraulic temperature to provide a significant reduction in fuel consumption. A five-speed M-Shift gearbox promises smooth gear changes in all situations with automatic and manual mode. In automatic mode the driver shifts from one gear to another with minimum torque interruption. The gearshift program adapts to the torque and speed demanded by the job in hand and determines the optimum gear automatically. The manual mode allows the driver to select the preferred gear to engage using the plus and minus buttons on the Manitoupatented JSM control. With its “exceptional” lifting height, this latest addition to the MLT telescopic loader range will appeal especially to straw contractors. Combined with the M-Shift powershift transmission, it provides a road speed of 40kph for total flexibility in travelling from one job to another.

Cutting a dash Building on its reputation for producing highquality, reliable shear grabs, and following extensive field trials, Albutt is introducing a highcapacity range with Hardox tines, branded Shear King Mini. New developments in the livestock industry see the arrival of high-capacity telescopic handlers and the need for cutting and handling silage in large quantities, and Albutt has supplied its shear grabs to the livestock sector for many years. It has used Hardox tines in its manure grabs for more than 20 years with “outstanding” results: Hardox is a high-tensile steel that offers “exceptional” tensile strength and good resistance to wear, helping to make tine breakages a thing of the past. The new tine design promises increased tine strength and reliability. They are 40mm wide, and welded into a 10mm box section – welding eliminates the problem of loose tines and reduces maintenance. Hardox is also used to manufacture the Shear King Mini’s cutting teeth and blades, which retain their sharpness over a longer period and give a

cleaner and repeatable cut. This produces a clean silage clamp face, reducing fermentation and feed waste. With 1.4–1.8m3 capacities, the Shear King Mini can cut and handle large quantities of silage quickly. It’s designed to be compatible with telehandlers and wheeled loaders with 3–4t lift capacities Field trials on all types of silage, including grass, maize and whole-crop, have produced good and consistent results.

Latest handler tested New Holland launched its Elite specification handlers earlier in 2015 and Farmers Guide was invited to try out the LM7.42 with 4.2t lift capacity and a 7m lift height.

At Lamma 2014 New Holland displayed a new range of telescopic handlers, to replace its LM5000 series machines, and at Lamma 2015 new higher specification Elite versions were announced. David Williams has been trying out one of the latest models. The New Holland range of telescopic handlers includes seven models of which two are compact versions with overall widths of just 1.8 and 2.0m, and five larger full-sized machines all sharing the same 3.0m wheelbase chassis, but offering lift capacities from 3.2–4.2t and maximum lift height between 6.1–9.1m. The latest Elite specification, which replaces the Plus-specification models of the LM5000-series, is available on two models; the LM6.35 and LM7.42, and it includes more powerful engines, an upgraded transmission, improved controls and increased hydraulic performance. They are also capable of pulling heavier trailed loads and offer limited slip differentials on both front and rear axles rather than just on the front axle as the standard machine. “The new range of LM handlers included many new features to boost productivity and increase ease of use,” explained New Holland telescopic handler product specialist Mark Crosby. “The outgoing LM5000 series was very

successful and its best features, such as its market-leading cab and chassis design were maintained but the latest chassis is strengthened, manufactured from thicker steel for increased rigidity, and the telescopic boom is totally redesigned.” The updates have increased the options available, and there is a choice of four headstocks for the new models and larger tyres can be accommodated although the previous tight turning circle is maintained.

Power units Previously 120hp engines powered all New Holland’s full-size handlers, but the new range features totally new power units with 121hp for Standard models and 143hp for the two Elite versions. The latest FPT NEF 4.5-litre, 4-cylinder engines all meet Tier 4i emissions regulations using SCR (Adblue) and the engine runs parallel to the transmission drive-train, maximising efficiency of drive to the wheels.

A redesign of the cooling systems has resulted in the primary cooling radiators being relocated, to a horizontal position above and to the rear of the engine. The engine and hydraulic oil cooling packs are alongside each other, below a mesh screen and there are two smaller cooling radiators for the air conditioning and transmission oil low down and to the right of the engine, just behind the front wheel. Repositioning the radiators has meant there is no need to ‘stack’ them, so each is fed with cooler air for more efficient cooling. The change makes the cooling packs easier to access for cleaning with no difficult to reach panels to remove for access. A reversing fan was previously an option to allow accumulated dust and debris to be blown out of the radiators, but the new models all include the feature as standard, a hydraulic drive allowing either manual operation, in which the operator can reverse the air direction when needed, or automatic through which the air direction changes automatically every six minutes. The engine and transmission oil dipsticks are both located in the engine bay and the hydraulic oil level is checked at a glance using a sight glass by the rear hitch. All the oil filters are mounted vertically within the engine bay area, and are easy to access from the side of the machine. The coolant tank is transparent for ease of level checking and mounted above the engine.

Transmission The Elite models have a 6x3 powershift transmission with an automatic shift mode available through the higher gears. A switch on the dashboard selects manual or auto control, then buttons on the main joystick select travel direction and gear. A road mode switch locks out all hydraulic functions for safety and a ‘transmission dump’ switch can be used to select automatic disconnection of drive whenever the footbrake pedal is pressed, allowing the engine to be revved for faster boom cycle times without the handler pushing forward.

Hydraulics

Control was excellent, the large machine capable of inch-perfect precision during tight operations.

The LM7.42 Elite tested by Farmers Guide has the highest lifting capacity of the range, and is capable of lifting up to 4.2t. Hydraulic flow rates up to

The cab is comfortable and spacious with good visibility all around. The seat is mounted high, providing a view to the right over the large engine cover.

140 litres/min are available through the variable displacement piston pump and provide a cycle time of just under 12 seconds to fully lift and lower, and 10.7 seconds to extend and retract the boom. Maximum working pressure is 240 bar (3,480 psi). Hydraulic oil capacity is 105 litres. One rear remote with two hydraulic couplers is standard. Soft ride boom suspension is standard on Elite versions and, unlike some other boom suspension systems, can be selected without the need to pressurise the hydraulics. The only requirement is that the arm is lowered close to the ground while setting.

Wide cab The cab is large and, according to New Holland, it is one of the widest in its class. An air suspension seat is standard and there is a wide range of adjustment providing adequate legroom for taller operators. To the right of the Elite model’s seat is an armrest on which the joystick is mounted, which moves with the seat, but can also be adjusted separately to suit the operator. The steering column also adjusts for rake and reach. Visibility all around is excellent, and the front screen is one-piece which means there is no cross beam to interfere with vision during tasks such as loading high trailers. The engine cover to the right side is high and quite bulky, but the seat position is high enough that a good view to the right is provided, the front and rear mudguards marking the machine’s extremities and making it easy to judge the clearance through narrow gaps, and an array of three rear view mirrors provide a good view on the road and for working in a confined space. The driver’s door window can be opened independently of the door and latches back against the rear of the cab. A useful feature is the ability to release the window from inside or outside the cab using a twist knob, which saves the user having to reach around inside to release it. The controls are well laid out and

An excellent feature is the opening door window which clips back against the rear of the cab, but which can be released from inside or outside using a twist lock.

grouped according to the type of function. The main control on the Elite model is the back lit multi-function joystick, which controls almost all the transmission functions as well as the boom and attachment. Forward and reverse shuttle buttons are adjacent to the gear selection buttons on the joystick of the Elite model, rather than on a lever to the left of the steering wheel as on the standard model. The statutory overload protection system is well designed, and easy to use. A large gauge constantly indicates the load based on readings from a rear axle mounted sensor, and the progressive movement of the needle makes it easy to monitor. As the load increases, for example if a loaded boom is extended, the needle moves from the green section through yellow to red, additional indicator lamps warning as the load limit is reached. If the load limit is exceeded then operation of the boom is stopped until a button beneath the dashboard is pressed which allows 59 seconds of resumed operation, but it will only permit movement which will reduce the load, such as retracting the boom. A feature of the latest handlers, which will please operators, is an uprated air conditioning system. The condenser, which used to be located above and to the rear of the cab is now in the engine bay, and the system offers greater cooling capacity through six vents, making it easy to keep the operator cool in the summer and to keep the cab windows clear on damp days. In-cab storage is adequate with a toolbox conveniently accessed from outside the cab, on the floor next to the seat, a covered tray in the armrest, and a small storage pocket just behind the seat.

In use The LM7.42 Elite is very easy to operate, due to the logical grouping of the controls which makes their use quite intuitive. Having all the transmission controls within finger reach on the joystick is a significant

benefit, especially for operators working long hours as it allows the user to concentrate on the work area rather than looking for the required button. Take up of the drive while shuttling was smooth, regardless of the travel speed when the direction change was selected. On a farm track, operating the transmission in manual mode resulted in quite jerky speed changes, especially between lower gears, unless care was taken to match the accelerator pressure to changes but with auto mode selected gear changes became very smooth, and it was possible to keep the full pressure on the accelerator pedal while speed increased and the gear changes were made. Powerful brakes, with six oil immersed discs on the front axle and four on the rear, provided sure stopping ability when needed. Hydraulic trailer brakes are standard, and the handler is rated to tow braked trailers up to 20t. A convenient switch on the dashboard is used to select the electric handbrake, and if the operator leaves the seat for more than 30 seconds, this is automatically applied. There are three steering modes; 4-wheel, front wheel and crab. The machine must be stationary to switch between modes and, on the Elite version, the system will automatically align the front and rear wheels. Manoeuvrability is excellent and, despite the handler’s size, the turning radius in 4-wheel steer mode is just 3.9m making it easy to use in a confined work area. In transport mode, front wheel steering is automatically selected. The handler provided for Farmers Guide's test drive had optional larger 500/70R24 tyres fitted replacing the standard 460/70R24s. These provided a good ride at speed over a bumpy farm track, and had no effect on the turning circle. Operation of the boom using the joystick was easy, the joystick allowing the operator to adjust height and reach simultaneously and proportionately as required. Loading a trailer, the ‘transmission dump’ function sped up operation as it allowed faster cycle times through increased engine speeds without the need to fight forward movement with the brakes. A very attractive feature of the New Holland LM series is the cushioning of the boom at the end of its travel. This is particularly useful when fully retracting the boom as, where on most handlers reaching the end of the boom’s travel generates a loud bang and a jolt, the boom of the LM-series

slows to a creep during the final few inches of travel, even when maximum travel speed is selected. This makes operation more comfortable and quieter for the user, especially when carrying out repetitive tasks such as lorry loading from a store. Noise levels inside the cab are very low, at just 75db, which New Holland said makes it the quietest on the market. Even when accelerating hard the engine noise was never intrusive and there was almost no additional noise from the transmission.

Servicing and maintenance Service interval for the engine is 600 hours but, as the rest of the machine has a 500-hour service requirement, it is likely most users would adopt a 500-hour service regime. The fuel and Adblue tanks are adjacent, and just behind the cab allowing easy filling of both tanks at the same time. Total fuel capacity

p Controls are well laid out and grouped according to function. The style and layout is similar to that of the company’s tractors, making it easier for users swapping between machines. The main joystick controls transmission modes including front and rear shuttle as well as boom operation. uThe overload protection system provides constant information regarding boom loading which will enable users to make judgements regarding stability before entering uneven work areas with a load. Plenty of warning is available before safe limits are exceeded, and the system cuts out.

The engine is easily exposed for servicing without any tools required to remove additional covers.

is 140 litres, the same as on the previous LM5000 models but, as fuel consumption of the new machines is up to approximately 10 per cent lower, the available working time is significantly increased. The Adblue tank holds 27 litres, which is enough to supplement five tanks of fuel. Grease nipples are all easily accessible, and remote lubrication is provided for the boom and rear axle through four grease points close to the rear axle. These mean there is no need to lift the boom to access the underside, or to crawl under the machine on the floor.

The boom is totally new, manufactured from two u-shaped sections rather than four flat sections used on previous LM5000 models. A compensation ram operates in the opposite direction to the main boom ram, to aid boom control and reduce stress loads.

Verdict

New Holland handler product specialist Mark Crosby said the new Elitespecification handlers are proving very popular with professional users across the UK.

For a large, capable farm handler, the New Holland is easy to use, even for an inexperienced operator. Logical controls, a comfortable and quiet working environment and excellent visibility will help reduce fatigue. As well as its extra performance, the Elite specification includes

great control features; such as the combined transmission functions all available through the main joystick, and the extra ease of use could easily justify the higher cost of the Elite specification over the standard models, for those spending a lot of time in the cab. ■

Materials Handlers

Impressive performance at Devon demo An Enorossi Batrake 10 Carted V-Rake, with 5.6–6.6m working width, working behind a telehandler.

At a recent demonstration day in Devon, Amia operated an Enorossi Batrake 10 Carted V-Rake, with 5.6–6.6m working width, uniquely working behind a telehandler. In addition, an Enorossi ERS16ST EasyRake Superstar Trailed V-Rake with 9.7m working width was also in action. According to Amia, both machines worked well with the Batrake 10 cleanly raking at speeds of 20kph and above and the ERS16ST working faster still. Due to patented design features of Enorossi V-Rakes the raking wheels get underneath the grass/straw and move the product from wheel to wheel until it forms the windrow, instead of rolling the grass/straw on the ground which is where issues often occurred in the past with other manufacturers’ ground-driven machines, claims the company. Other benefits include reduced soil compaction due to the low horsepower requirement to operate the machines when compared with

twin or four rotor rakes, as well as reduced maintenance costs and associated downtime for the operator as there are fewer moving parts. “We were delighted with the performance of the machines in the field where everybody in attendance could see the major benefits of the Enorossi V-Rakes,” said Amia managing director, Alan Dennis. “The range offers unrivalled value for money with the Batrake 12 V-Rake, with adjustable 6.0–7.4m working width, retailing at £5,800,” he added. A 9.2ft Enorossi DMP/7 disc mower was also on show at the event. In addition, the Tubeline Bale Boss 1 front-mounted, side firing bale processor for skidsteers or telehandlers, as well as the awardwinning Trenona Farm Machinery Bale Swift multi-bale handler were demonstrated. Amia’s other ranges including the Sfoggia range of precision drills, mechanical seed drills, precision vacuum drills and transplanters were on display. The Keltec Engineering range of bale slices, bucket and bag fillers and bale transporters were also shown. ■

Telescopic compact loader French manufacturer Pichon offers growers a 45.60 series telescopic compact loader powered by a Caterpillar Tier 3, 60hp engine. This new model is manufactured with the same heavy-duty design as on the previous Pichon compact loaders which has forged its reputation within the handling equipment industry, says the company.

With a lifting height of 4.5m and a lifting capacity of 3,200kg (over the course of the arm), this telescopic wheel loader offers a variety of applications for the end user. The machine can be equipped with ROPS/FOPS frame, ROPS/ FOPS canopy or cab protection. Maximum speed of the 45.60 series machine is 30kph, adds Pichon.

Forklifts on the frontline

Agrimac’s TH-210.

Colchester-based Agrimac UK is the sole approved importer of the full range of Agrimac rough-terrain equipment, dumpers, forklifts, mini tractors and two-wheel tractors. The forklift range has a 1,600— 3,500kg lift capacity and duplex or triple masts with various lift heights up to 6m. It’s made in Western Europe with well-proven components such as Perkins engines – Deutz on the larger machines – and Bosch Rexroth transmissions.

Selectable 2 and 4wd is standard, as are road lights and a side-shift function, while a full cab, heating and air conditioning are available as options across the range. Fulfilling a demand for compact, manoeuvrable machines, the forklifts are capable of working where space is restricted: the most compact TH175C version is just 1,300mm across, while the others are 1,600mm wide. They’re designed to be userand mechanic-friendly, with no electronics. This makes them ideal for aid work, and TH-210s have been deployed in the aftermath of disasters in Nepal and the Philippines, for example, as part of a four-year contract to supply the UK Government with these 4x4 models. Forklift retail prices start at £21,000 for the entry-level model. Full technical support and spare parts are available. ■

Weigh and record The sophisticated Loadmaster α100.

Digi-Star and RDS Technology are to debut various products, platforms and connectivity for weighing applications at this year’s Agritechnica. Their totally integrated precisions solutions cover a wide cross-section of the industry, including: on-board weighing; yield and harvesting; seeding and drilling; spreading and fertilising; and livestock feeding applications. For example, RDS’ Weighlog α10 is a user-friendly on-board weighing system that can be retrofitted onto compact wheeled loaders, telescopic handlers, forklifts, skid-steer and tractor loaders. Suitable for use with up to 10 different attachments – such as buckets or forks – it’s used for trailer

and hopper loading, batch blending or checkweighing incoming goods. The system provides data storage via SD card reader and USB 2.0 host, allowing quick, safe and efficient uploading and downloading of load data. The Loadmaster α100 on-board weighing system has been designed for large wheeled loaders operating in the toughest environments and incorporates: advanced inclinometer and pressure-sensor technology; comprehensive capability for creating databases; and GPRS, Wi-Fi, SD and USB connectivity. In addition iSosync allows the Loadmaster α100’s comprehensive database to be viewed remotely on smart phones or, alternatively, allows two-way communication with a central computer for the transfer of job data including products, customers and track numbers. As an entry-level on-board

weighing system, the user-friendly RDS Weighlog 200 can be used for a variety of applications, including check-weighing incoming goods and trailer and hopper loading. And for forklifts working in the fastest loading environments, the

new Liftlog 1000 offers a weighing system with 0.5 per cent accuracy. With the ever-increasing focus on productivity and safe loading, the Liftlog 1000 cost-effectively reduces loading cycle times and maximises tons per hour performance. ■

'Backbone' of the business Oliver Landpower describes JCB materials-handling machines as the “backbone” to its business at its Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and its new Buckinghamshire depots.

“Perfect” match for lower hp

The Stoll ClassicLine front loader.

Lynx Engineering is announcing the launch of ClassicLine front loaders from Stoll, available through the UK importer’s nationwide dealer network. Comprising four models, the ClassicLine range is designed specifically for use on 65—110hp tractors weighing up to 4.3t. It replaces the German manufacturer’s EcoLine range and is ideal for users who need a loader that’s perfectly matched to their new or existing low-horsepower tractor, offering good all-round performance at a competitive price, says Lynx. Managing director Nick Ewbank says: “The ClassicLine shares much of

the pedigree associated with Stoll’s FZ ProfiLine. The loader brackets, drive-in system and high-quality fine-grain steel used in manufacture are all the same. “Visibility is excellent, and the low loader weight and optimised positioning of the brackets minimise load stresses on the tractor.” Practical and robust features add real value, he says. For example, reinforced pivots contribute to reduced wear rates and higher power transmission, while the doubleacting cylinder provides a high lifting capacity for this class of loader. Prices start from £5,600, and a wide range of implements is available.

New-gen carrot harvester Dewulf is launching a new generation of its ZBII 2-row selfpropelled top-lifting bunker carrot harvester, said to be able to produce completely clean product from more than 4.5ha per day. Its Scania DC9 Tier 4 Final engine produces 350hp. Numerous features “significantly” improve capacity and maintainability. For example, two individual harvesting elements with independent topping blades ensure maximum stability, even at high driving speeds. The modified hydraulicallydriven torpedoes, that can be fitted with various wear-point tips, form the basis for a precision cutting result. An optional hydraulic-folding system for the outer torpedoes is also available . The topping blades are optionally equipped with topping blade-arm protection and are designed to minimise soil accumulation. Tension on the 14,000mm-long harvesting belts can be altered by a single handle for each harvesting element. The new-generation maintenance-free gearbox drive is said to boost productivity without

compromising quality. The bearings of the blades are hermetically sealed with labyrinth seals, resulting in the highest available durability level, says Dewulf. Hydraulic rotating cleaners, two separate variable-speed sieving webs with driven eccentric agitators and two hedgehog belts ensure a completely clean product straight from the land, it adds. The incline and speed of the hedgehog belts can be adjusted from an operator terminal on the control platform, allowing the driver to focus on the harvesting. As well as having an excellent view of the harvesting elements, the driver can monitor the entire product flow via four cameras. Engine compartment, filters and diesel and AdBlue tanks are conveniently located. ■

BP2015: ‘The biggest gathering in the GB potato calendar’ Taking place on the 12th and 13th November at the Harrogate International Centre, Yorkshire, over 6,000 growers, packers, processors, retailers, researchers, specialists and consultants will attend the biennial potato industry event BP2015. “BP2015 is the biggest gathering of potato businesses and people in the GB potato calendar,” says AHDB Potatoes chair Fiona Fell. “You need to be there for two days of solid interaction, catching up with research and understanding where your business needs to go next.”

Long-term event supporter and BP2015 sponsor Grimme (UK) is a market leader in potato planting harvesting and handling machinery, and the company says that it is looking forward to showcasing its equipment at the event. “Since the last event in Harrogate technology developments have moved on swiftly,” says Grimme sales director, Barry Baker. “Grimme has some state-of-the-art new developments, such as yield mapping and planter section control which allows growers to efficiently

Two new machines are the answer for bagging solutions The Agrimech range of machinery continues to grow with the addition of two new machines, says the company. The Nemesis bag placer, working in conjunction with the Retribution ABC heavy-duty bag stitching system, offers the ultimate in bagging solutions, claims Agrimech. The sacks are loaded onto the machine and automatically placed onto the bagging head. Once filled, they are supported through the stitching process by the ABC bag control system. This fully automated

system requires minimal operator assistance. The Themis single-head bin weigher is now available as a double head; Gemini increases capacity to 15tph and both systems have been designed to handle large tubers. The ergonomic design of the gripper head and cross conveyor reduces product damage, while the heavy-duty cleated belts ensure the crop can be fed reliably and quickly to the weighing head. As with all Agrimech machinery it’s constructed in stainless steel for durability, strength and longevity

About the size of it Briggs Irrigation is launching its largestever UK-manufactured boom – a 76m version of its 4-wheel chassis series. The R76 can achieve 80—96m irrigated widths without the use of spray guns at the ends, thus providing accurate, uniform low-pressure irrigation across the whole width. The new model requires a hydraulic lift system to allow the arms to be opened manually by a single person

before the boom is raised to ensure adequate ground clearance along its entire length. The boom is also fitted with a self-levelling mechanism to limit lateral movement during the run. Director Adrian Colwill says: “This machine is 12m wider than the largest boom we’ve offered to date – giving those growers with large, level fields the option to reduce the number of

as well as standard component parts for trouble-free maintenance. The range is completely designed and built by Agrimech’s engineering team including electrical control panels and programming. With a list of options to suit all packaging requirements the Agrimech range of machinery is suitable for a variety of products. Agrimech will be exhibiting at BP2015, Harrogate on stand M3 where it will have on display the Themis weighing system, Retribution ABC Stitcher system and Nemesis bag placer. ■

passes needed and, therefore, the amount of manpower. “It also ensures efficient, accurate and gentle low-pressure irrigation, which is particularly suitable for highvalue crops. “We’ve had four R76 booms working on French farms for the past three seasons, with 1,800—2,400 hours on each, so we’re happy with the structural strength of the new outer

boom sections.” The new design is based on the current 50m and 64m booms, but the two outer sections are made from Type 314 stainless steel for good strengthto-weight ratio, he adds. Briggs Irrigation will be exhibiting not only at BP2015 in Harrogate on 12-13 November, but also the Midlands Machinery Show at Newark on 25-26 November. ■

Potatoes

Improved harvester and other machinery outputs The latest upgrades to Grimme’s 2-row trailed and self-propelled potato harvesters promise to make them more efficient, both in terms of output and running costs, without compromising quality. They include AirSep, which efficiently separates stones, wet clods and haulms from the crop pneumatically. It’s been tested successfully on the SV260 and SE260 off-set trailed harvesters. Another upgrade is ComfortDrive, designed predominantly to reduce sway in large-wheeled off-set trailed and self-propelled harvesters. Swaying can reduce digging output and may be uncomfortable for the pickers: reducing sway can increase digging speed by up to 30 per cent. ComfortDrive is an option on the SV260 2-row bunker harvester, as well as the Varitron 200 and 270 2-row selfpropelled harvesters. Further improvements specifically for 4-row harvesters include a new crop flow process that minimises damage and requires less maintenance

and, on trailed harvesters, VarioDrive, which gives precision control of the mechanical first web. The new crop flow process helps minimise blockages by using two active running rubber rollers connected to the rear axle that gently separate the crop as it moves through the harvester. The crop is distributed over the full width rear of the axle onto the following separators. VarioDrive allows the mechanical and hydraulically-driven main webs to be infinitely adjusted to suit all digging conditions, and can also be reversed at the push of a button to remove blockages. Compared with the hydraulic systems, VarioDrive has a 20 per cent higher efficiency, which reduces fuel consumption by 1-litre/hr, says Grimme.

Transfer trailer Grimme has also launched a 12m long transfer trailer with 35t capacity designed specifically for taking cereal and vegetable crops including onions, carrots, beetroot and potatoes directly from the harvester, as well as

transferring fertiliser. The Crop Cart has an unloading output of 10t/min and is available with three different chassis versions: single axle, twin axle and rubber tracks. A 20t version has also been developed for the European market, particularly in the UK where it can be used for beetroot. The large dimension transfer elevator can be levelled hydraulically to guarantee the optimum position for all situations. The driver has a good view of the unloading elevator which is fitted at the front of the trailer.

Weigh scale For the exact weighing of crop during storing (in or out) a box weigh scale has also been developed for the Grimme GBF box filler series. The two compact weighing modules are integrated to the box filler frame and are easily retrofitted. The filling automatically stops or changes to the next box when the pre-set weight has been reached. All functions of the weighing device can be operated from the box filler

A Grimme harvester fitted with AirSep.

operator terminal GBT 840. A tare function especially when using different boxes is also integrated. A large LCD display shows the weight of the current box in 1kg steps plus the number and the total weight of all boxes per day. In addition, the company’s new 4-row GF 400 rotary hiller has a reinforced mounting frame including three-point linkage and a tractor attachment for a trailed potato planter. Strong support wheels improve depth control and make this machine suitable for working in combination with a potato planter. The GF 400 is available with 75 or 90cm row widths. An optional high power gearbox is also available for tractors with up to 500hp. ■

What’s in store now? As official sponsor of BP2015 and to mark 85 years of engineering, Tong Engineering will be exhibiting a special limited-edition of its marketleading EasyFill box filler, alongside new data capture technology now being offered as an option on new models of its box-filling equipment (Hall M, stand M6). The data capture module has been designed to offer enhanced features to Tong’s popular box-weighing platforms. It works by scanning barcodes on boxes and subsequently recording vital statistics, enabling accurate and automated collation of crop information in real time. Managing director Edward Tong says: “We’ve offered integrated weigh platforms as an option on our EasyFill twin box filler and single box, allowing growers and packers to fill boxes to a predetermined

weight, for several years. “But the new data capture module offers a way to record even more data relating to each box’s contents.” The new box scanner automatically records each box’s identity and assigns crop statistics including the box weight and grade size of crop, as well as time-stamping when the information is recorded. It also assigns traceability information from the crop’s load reference data, including details such as batch number, grower and variety. All data relating to that box is then sent automatically via Ethernet connection to the operator’s SQL stock-control database, making stock control much more efficient and accurate, while allowing each box to be fully traceable to its source. Edward says: “Our technology is taking stock control for potato

growers and packers to the next level. It removes the need for manual recording of box contents, increasing the accuracy of crop data and automatically communicating this back to the stock database.” What’s invaluable, he adds, is that this happens in real time, making it very easy to see exactly what stock there is at any given time. This allows for a much more efficient stock control process, ensuring growers and packers derive even more value from their crop to meet a wide variety of contract demands. Just across from its main stand, as UK distributor for Swiss-based Visar sorting equipment, Tong will also be demonstrating, alongside Visar, the company’s new optical potato sorter (stand M20). Following the success of Visar’s

Tong technology now offers data recording like never before.

award-winning optical carrot sorter, the Visar Sortop potato sorter uses an infra-red HD camera to achieve a perfect 360 degree image of each and every potato that passes through the sorting machine, offering “unrivalled” sorting capabilities. “Visar’s new potato sorter offers exceptionally accurate optical potato grading, and we’re very pleased to unveil the machine to the UK, in action at BP2015,” says Edward. ■

Working wonders Exhibiting once again at Harrogate this year, Bye Engineering will be introducing the Wonder Wheel. This machine leaves a ground surface that intercepts and directs rain and irrigation water, greatly reducing runoff and preventing soil erosion. It helps to reduce loss, for example, of valuable nitrogen, phosphorus and

surface-applied agrochemicals. Designed, developed and built with the modern, intensive root crop grower in mind, the Wonder Wheel scooped first prize in the Innovations class in Normac’s Farm Machinery competitions at this year’s Royal Norfolk Show. As well as the Wonder Wheel, several specialised machines have

been developed over many years by the team at Bye Engineering, working very closely with potato and vegetable growers to help them improve efficiencies and reduce costs. These include: the Bedmixer; the high-clearance potato ReRidger; the Potato Crusher; the Power Dolly, the Triple Brush

Hoe; and the Band Sprayer. The Woodbridge, Suffolkbased company also designs and manufactures bespoke machines to suit individual needs. The company invites visitors to BP2015, Harrogate on the 12th and 13th November to drop in to Bye Engineering’s stand for a chat. ■

Trio of machinery updates Standen is timing three product update announcements to coincide with BP2015. First, a new Rapid-Pin fastchange blade system is now available for all new Standen Powavator rotary tillers and bed formers. Existing Powavator machines can also be upgraded to Rapid-Pin. By simply removing the hardened quick-release Rapid-Pin, each blade takes just a few seconds to replace, without the need for special tools. From 2016, all Standen Zeno belt potato planters will feature a new 1.5t tipping hopper with a revised moving floor-feed belt. Additional updates include increased clearances to conveyor belt transfer points and improvements to its stainless steel forming hood. Zeno planters will also be offered with the option of hydraulic wheel steering in 2016. Available as a 2- or 3-row machine, the Zeno is a high-output, precision belt-type tractor-mounted planter featuring Z-System planting technology. At BP2015 Standen will also be

showing a production-ready Target Set SRi 6-row side-ridge injection machine, with its new Mϋller ME Spraylight control system, latest DABb narrow-profile injection blades, stainless steel induction hopper and wash-down kit. “Great” results have been achieved by injecting fertiliser at 100 per cent crop emergence, the company says. For example a crop of SRiinjection-fertilised Agria yielded 17t/ha more than that which received granular placed fertiliser. Compared with liquid placed fertiliser, SRi-injected fertiliser produced a yield increase of 6t/ha in Rudolph and – in a separate trial – an 8.5t/ha increase in Sylvana. ■

Protecting the potato industry now and in the future Crop damage caused by plantparasitic nematodes (PPNs) is often attributed to problems such as poor soil, nutritional deficiencies, drought or disease infection due to their microscopic and undetectable size, explains research organisation Fera. PPN populations can quickly build to damaging levels, occasionally within a single season, it adds, therefore, good on-going management of nematodes requires farmers to be proactive and establish farming systems that inhibit the increase of these pests prior to the planting of susceptible crops. To enable effective control of nematodes, Fera recommends that farmers analyse soil for PPN either pre-planting, post-harvest or when possible infestation symptoms are observed. Any PPNs found should, ideally, be identified in terms of species as time of hatch, habitat, location within the soil profile, its ability to spread plant viruses or facilitate the entry of disease can all vary greatly with the species of PPN present.

Damage to a potato tuber caused by PPN.

It was recently announced that limited supplies of nematicide Vydate (oxamyl) will be available in time for next year’s potato planting, so growers are being advised they may need to consider alternative treatments for control. Symptoms of nematode damage in the field include stunting, wilting, chlorosis, distortion, premature senescence and low yields, highlights Fera, which offers a nematode analysis service to identify all species. Growers can contact Fera for advice on email: nematology@fera. co.uk, or they can call the Plant Clinic helpline on 01904 462324, or visit: www.fera.co.uk/plantclinic. Fera will be on stand C43 at BP2015. ■

Potatoes

A “proper” job of refurbishment AWM Potatoes is a thriving business growing, packing and distributing quality potatoes to caterers, schools, grocers and individuals worldwide. It was founded by Andy Morton in 2000 on the back of a family tradition of supplying potatoes to greengrocers in London and the south east that dates back to 1946. By 2013 it was clear that the grading, weighing and bagging line at the company’s Cressing Park Farm base near Braintree in Essex was in need of upgrading. Andy therefore asked Gary Palmer at David Harrison Handling Solutions to come up with a plan to replace/refurbish AWM’s kit – within

a limited budget. Andy says: “We’d love to buy new. But smaller companies need to watch what they do. “While some companies will slap on a coat of paint, Harrisons does it properly – shot-blasting and re-spraying the frame and replacing worn parts such as bearings and belts. “It also inspects the electrics and replaces the wiring.” AWM is hoping for five to six years reliable service from the newly-installed modular grader – a fully-refurbished Tong model comprising twin screens and 900mm-wide reversible belt conveyors. Harrisons also installed a new 10-bucket Pro-Pak weigher-bagger to contend with about 10,000t of potatoes annually. It replaced a AWM Potatoes’ grader, refurbished by David Harrison Handling Solutions.

Walthambury 425 bagger, which was a good machine but limited in speed and accuracy, according to Andy. “We’ve calculated that, with our old weigher, we were giving away up to 0.5kg on a 25kg bag,” he says. “The Pro-Pak promises to reduce this to as little as 20g a bag, and should pay for itself in three to four years – while doubling our throughput.” The new line also incorporates existing box tipper, hopper,

stitching line and an O&P palletiser already supplied by David Harrison. Gary Palmer says: “We’ve seen many market ups and downs in the 40 years since David Harrison started his potato machinery business near Ely. “It’s when budgets are tight that our phones are busy with customers who know that, besides new machinery, we’re active in buying and refurbishing good used kit – frequently saving them 40—50 per cent of their costs.” ■

Seals and wheels for store doors Doors are an important element of any potato store. They need to keep the building secure while, at the same time, being efficient enough to keep the contents cool. Brentwood, Essex-based GT Industrial Doors appreciates the importance. It supplies and installs many different types of insulated roller shutters to suit the needs of such buildings. It also offers ongoing maintenance with servicing and

repairs to existing doors. This ensures that seals are kept secure and wheels adjusted correctly. This service will optimise the performance of the door’s insulation and keep it running smoothly so that easy access is always possible. The company is happy to give a free survey to assess requirements, and says it will provide the most competitive price.

Potatoes

All-in-one wash ‘n’ brush up Designed not only to improve pack out and quality, but also to reduce energy costs, water use and labour, the Multi-Wash meets potato packers’ demands to increase margins by reducing waste and improving product quality. With its all-in-one-process transfer of potatoes from one section to the next, Haith’s latest concept is also very gentle. It combines all the proven qualities of the popular Haith Supaflume de-stoner with the excellent wash quality claimed for the Haith semi-submerged barrel washer, while incorporating polishing from the tried-and-tested direct-drive Haith root veg polisher. The latest and important upgrade is the split barrel, which

allows the washing section to rotate in the opposite direction to the polishing rollers. There is separate inverter speed control on each section, giving more flexibility and control over the amount of washing and polishing needed. Potatoes are immediately introduced to water as they enter the integral de-stoner. Stones and clods are removed before the crop is gently flume-fed into the wash barrel. When heavy soil is present and a robust wash is needed, the water level can be raised so that the pintle-lined wash barrel is semisubmerged. The rubber scroll moves the tubers through the barrel as the high-pressure spray bar works with the rubber pintle to remove

Designed to evolve No fewer than 500 changes and updates have been made to the QM root-crop and potato trailers from family-run trailer manufacturer Charles J Marshall (Aberdeen). The entire 6.0—16.5t industryleading range now comes dealerfit ready – a design concept that allows more than 80 per cent of optional extras to be added without the need for remedial fabrication. This allows trailers to be upgraded over time to match tractor specifications or to suit different tasks. In addition the overall image and finish of the range has been improved with: a new body design; new chassis design; updated inspection ladder design; better protection for hydraulic hoses; a new bolt-on mudguard design; and many other updates.

A QM trailer from Marshalls.

These improvements have been possible thanks only to a change in the design approach adopted by the company. This involves simplifying the design by pressing rather than welding components and using CNCcontrolled machinery to give an unrivalled finish and consistency. The use of robotic welders is also having a significant impact on product quality, providing perfect welds every time and a consistency unmatched by human hand.

engrained dirt from the eyes. The flexibility of the Multi-Wash allows the water level to be lowered: in this mode, the potatoes can be sprayed with fresh water. Potatoes are gently transferred out of the barrel via an all-new cone feeder that uses a soft rubber scroll to deliver them to brush polisher rollers, directly driven by highefficiency SEW motors. It’s here that minor skin defects can be removed and the appearance of the crop generally lifted. Included in the system is a waste removal tank with water recycling, while a feature on the control allows simple and fast system emptying between varieties.

Potatoes

Trailer is boxing clever The Guardian potato trailer’s innovative design allows it to be loaded like a conventional trailer. This not only makes it easy to load, but eliminates the costly damage caused to a potato harvester’s elevator if it gets caught in the boxes, points out manufacturer Larrington Trailers. The cushioned top receives the crop from the elevator before it slides down one of the flexible chutes and

into the patented Cushion-Lock system. This gently releases the crop directly into the bottom of the boxes and, once the trailer is fully loaded, the top frame is raised and gently releases the rest of the potatoes – filling the boxes with no damage. Since 2014 an on-board weighing system is available which makes loading very accurate and now the addition of a ‘Top-Up Box’ ensures

every box is filled right to the top every time. The Larrington Guardian provides unmatched crop protection, preventing unnecessary damage to help achieve the best crop price, claims the company; while the accurate loading with the weighing system and ‘Top-Up Box’ ensures all boxes are completely full every time so that no space is wasted in the potato store.

The place for drains Good drainage is a vital ingredient for successful potato and other root crop production. Not only does it improve yield, but it also allows more flexibility in timeliness, since soils dry out faster, allowing earlier access for field operations. It will also help maintain a good soil structure and help with the establishment of subsequent crops, points out Miles Drainage. The company tends to categorise drainage into three types according to soil type, with terrain and land use determining the final design. Peat and fen soils need a high degree of drainage due to the

intensity of cropping and because, as the peat has shrunk over the years, the clay subsoil has become closer to the surface. Drain spacing varies from 10–40m apart, with 20m being the norm. Miles Drainage recommends stone backfill to the clay horizon and single outfalls. Clay soils are the other type where most land drainage is carried out, with the quality of the clay subsoil and fall on the land determining the design. Drain spacing will vary between 20 and 100m, with the 100m spacing reserved for the very best clay fields with a good even slope for the moles.

In these soils, regular mole draining plays a major part in field drainage. The third type of soils are those that have very little or no clay content within drain depth, but still have a need for land drainage. Soils that have a deep layer of clay delaying the filtration of water also fall into this category. These soils traditionally have drains 14m apart and no stone backfill, although drainage at 20m spacing and a stone covering is an alternative, the company says. Agricultural drainage makes up a large part of its business, and it offers a design, installation and

Yield maps get a new lease of life SoilEssentials Ltd, the Scottish precision agriculture specialists based at Hilton of Fern near Brechin in Angus, has unveiled a new product – EssentialsAnalysis – to tackle the mountains of dormant yield maps to be found sitting around many growers’ desks. This new product within the SoilEssentials’ growing portfolio, can create yield maps from historical data to assist growers in improving crop performance, says the company. Managing director, Jim Wilson explains: “Many growers have several years of yield maps from combine and potato harvesters gathering dust and not being used to improve crop performance. SoilEssentials can take yield data from any type of harvester, clean it up to remove bad data and create maps to both highlight withinfield variability and differences withinfarm variability.” Multi-year normalised yield maps can then be created to identify areas which are consistently yielding better or worse than the field average. By identifying the underlying yield potential of fields we can create application maps to tailor inputs based on yield potential to ensure the

grower gets the best return on the cost of growing a crop. According to SoilEssentials, one customer, who has recently experienced the EssentialsAnalysis service commented: “I had six years of yield data sitting doing nothing but now have the power to see exactly how my land is working with the EssentialsAnalysis report. This has given me amazing insight and the opportunity to use this knowledge to better manage my land and reap the benefits”. Yet again, SoilEssentials pushes the boundaries where new and innovative products are introduced to the marketplace, to make the farmer’s life easier and more profitable, adds the firm. With ever-increasing pressures on the farming industry, understanding the land that is worked has never been more important and it is fundamental in ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness. SoilEssentials will be attending BP2015, stand B24 in Hall B, where it will be discussing EssentialsAnalysis and its EssentialsRootYield product – which weighs and yield maps root crops accurately and easily – as well

as its full range of complementary precision ag products. SoilEssentials Ltd is also the Trimble authorised dealer for northern UK. EssentialsAnalysis can create yield maps from historical data to assist growers in improving crop performance.

Potatoes

Keeping control of CIPC The Specialist Installations Division (SID) of Thurlow Nunn Standen recently completed modifications to an ambient boxed potato store for Cole Ambrose Ltd. Located at Stuntney, Cambridgeshire, the store’s modifications have followed on from the successful updating last year of six conventional refrigerated box potato stores, originally erected by SID 15–20 years ago. This involved the installation of constant velocity ducts for even distribution of airflow for ventilation and CIPC application purposes. Alastair Morbey explains: “The stores needed updating and we are hoping

these improvements will help with the CIPC process. The stores are now much better, with higher airflow which, in turn, leads to a better quality end product. “We wanted to improve the long term storage and we’ve found this has worked a treat for us – it’s definitely the way forward,” he added. Director of SID, Jeremy Nunn explains: “The history we have with Cole Ambrose Ltd stretches back over many years and I’ve personally worked with Anthony, Alastair’s father, in the past on previous projects, so we were delighted to undertake this work and continue this long established association.

“Maximum Residue Level (MRL) compliance of CIPC is critical. A ‘constant velocity duct’ and fans on inverter control will transform an older traditional box store into a store that will give MLC control with the added benefit of reduced running times, better temperature control and energy savings.” Alastair adds: “We chose TNS to do the improvements because of Jeremy’s experience and his knowledge of what needs to be done. Throughout the project Jeremy has been the lead and our ‘go to’ person and we’ve found this works very well for us and we are very pleased with the end product.” ■

Tough wearing parts playing a key role Clifton Rubber is leading the way when it comes to rubber and polyurethane wear parts for potato equipment, says the company. During the busy harvest season it is vital to fit equipment with the best wear components in order to avoid costly breakdowns and maintain equipment efficiency for

longer. Rubber and polyurethane wear parts therefore play an essential role in the potato industry including soil preparation, planting, harvesting, cleaning and packing. This need for reliability, durability and value for money is why the leading OEMs, dealers and farmers use Clifton Rubber’s

Choice of refrigeration technology King’s Lynn, Norfolk-based JD Cooling, the UK’s leading independent supplier of bespoke cooling systems to the fresh and processed produce industry, is expanding to be able to deliver natural, future-proof cooling systems. With an existing customer base that traditionally uses refrigerant technologies that are to be phased out by 2030, JD Cooling wants to be able to give proper advice on what systems should be installed for the future which involves working with natural refrigerants such as

ammonia and CO2. In recognition of the rapid change that the industry faces to switch away from harmful HFC refrigerants, JD Cooling has launched a new company within the JD Group to specifically concentrate on applying natural solutions. The formation of JD Industrial Cooling Systems is seeing the recruitment of four key industrial sector experts. They’ll be sharing their skills to allow the company to develop with the technology as it moves in this new direction.

range of rubber and polyurethane components, which includes harvester rollers, de-stoning stars, cleaning stars and cleaning coils to name a few. Growers can learn more about its industry-leading components by calling Clifton Rubber’s technical sales team or visiting its website.

A key area of expertise is the ability to design and install integrated heat recovery and cooling systems. By recovering heat produced by cooling systems, boosting it and using it for heating purposes, clients can save 40 per cent of their energy costs. This can be increased further by the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive. JD Cooling managing director John Dye says: “The past 18 months have seen the move towards secondary cooling accelerate rapidly and thepush towards natural

Inside the modified box potato store at Stuntney, near Ely, Cambridgeshire perforated ducts can clearly be seen while (inset) the gassing control button on the outside of the store provides remote operation of fan with speed control. Clifton Rubber is a British manufacturer of general rubber and polyurethane components and has been manufacturing wear parts for the potato industry for over 40 years.

primary fluids such as ammonia has become stronger. “Low-charge ammonia chillers offer huge energy savings and present no greater risk to the site than a propane forklift, for example. “We’re not the only company that can deliver natural cooling systems using secondary refrigerants, but we are unique in that we can offer such technology as well as the traditional solutions, which are still the right way to go in some circumstances. "This means we don’t try to steer clients in a direction that may suit our own due to any shortcomings in our portfolio.”

Henry Brown’s Vintage Diary Farmers Guide 25 years ago

Writing in the November 1990 issue of Farmers Guide, Ernest Cozens asked what had happened to the great Eastern Counties Farmers (ECF) co-operative, a respected company with a large band of loyal members and customers spread across the eastern counties. On October 31st ECF closed all of its farm machinery branches with the exception of Diss, in Norfolk, which remained as a wearing parts and sundries depot with a mail order option. A manure spreading and handling demonstration arranged by Norfolk Farm Machinery Club on Shipdham airfield included 21 different spreaders with capacities from 3–12t; and 11 loaders ranging from front-end models to mechanical handlers from JCB, Matbro, Manitou and Sanderson. John Hodge reminded farmer readers of recent legislation concerning public footpaths across their land. The new laws required all field edge footpaths to be at least 1.5m wide and crossfield paths to be at least 1m wide. Also, when a cross-field path was

ploughed it should be re-instated as soon as possible. A materials handling feature in the November 1990 Farmers Guide included a range of self-propelled mechanical handlers, in some cases developed from machines made for the construction industry. The machines featured included telescopic models from Caterpillar, Hanomag, FDI Sambron, JCB, Manitou, Matbro and Sanderson, and some of them had articulated steering. Lifting heights varied from 4.5 to about 10m and the models surveyed had lift capacities of 1.5–3t with prices ranging from £25,000–£35,000. The specification for the Hanomag 35 D wheeled-loader, described as a “quite magnificent machine but rather costly”, included a 190hp Perkins engine, hydrostatic articulated steering, 4wd and a heavy-duty boom. JCB models on show included two telescopic Loadall models, three articulated Farm Masters and a 926 F rough terrain forklift with a 2.6t lift capacity. Farmers Guide’s classified section always makes interesting reading and the November 1990 issue lived up to expectations. Framlingham Tractors offered a selection of power harrows at prices from £500 and a 1987 Claas Dominator 78 was listed at £22,000. A Lely Centreliner broadcaster at £1,000 and an MF 510 air drill for £7,500 were among offerings from Cowies Eastern Tractors. Bargains advertised by Lincolnshire based Sharmans included a 1987 John Deere 2650 4wd for £10,500 and £1,750 was the asking price for a trailed Standen Rapide sugar beet harvester.

The Suffolk Punch

Steam engineers Richard Garrett & Sons, founded in 1778 at Leiston in Suffolk, was one of several UK firms that manufactured steam engines, threshing machines, drills and other farm implements. The first internal combustion engined tractors appeared in the late 1800s and the Ivel, with a twin cylinder 22hp petrol engine, was made at Biggleswade in 1902. Richard Garrett & Sons kept its faith with steam power and in March 1917 introduced the first of eight Suffolk Punch steam tractors. Results of field trials, held in July of that year, were very favourable when compared with ploughing done both by horses and early types of petrol/paraffin-engined tractor. The Punch, with a rear-mounted boiler and chimney, large wheels and a front driving platform was based on a Garrett overtype steam wagon. Said to have cost about £700, the Punch, looking like a cross between a traction engine and a tractor, was designed to pull a 6f plough. However the Garrett steam tractor was underpowered and, as it was considered too heavy to work on the land, the Punch spent much of its working life on a farm at Tunstall in Suffolk where it was used to drive threshing drums and other belt driven machines. The only surviving Suffolk Punch tractor is at the Garrett Long Shop Museum in nearby Leiston.

The Suffolk Punch tractor was among a display of Garrett equipment at the 2015 Grand Henham Steam Rally.
