Our Fendt Ideal 9T is a tracked, high output combine with a 41 foot power flow header which reduces crop losses, particularly in beans, peas ans OSR. It is run with GPS and yield mapping.
Seed Drilling
Claas Axion 870 and 8m Weaving Sabre tine front tank.
We offer a range of seed drilling options. These include power harrow drill combination using a 3m Weaving Tine Combi and a 8m weaving sabre tine for min-till and low disturbance strip till drilling. All drilling is carried out with full RTK GPS.
No-Till/ Direct Drill
Valtra 235 and Weaving GD 600
We also offer no-till drilling using our Weaving GD600. This machine causes very little soil disturbance, which helps us control black grass and improve soil structure and biology. It is also the perfect tool for topping up grass leys and establishing stubble turnips.
Fitted with triple hoppers, we can accurately drill, seeds, fertilisers and pellets in one pass.
Crop Spraying
Rogator 655
We run a high capacity 6000L, self-propelled Rogator with 36m aluminium booms. It has RTK GPS with single nozzle shut off, self boom levelling and market leading high clearance which makes it perfect for spraying oil seed rape and bean desiccation etc. We also run a 10,000L support bowser to increase output.
Liquid Fertiliser
Rogator 655C
We can supply and apply liquid fertiliser at very competitive rates, and always carry a large stock so are able to supply at short notice. It can be applied at a variable rate to arable crops or grass, providing a quicker uptake than granular fertiliser, especially in dry conditions.
