Agri Showcase In the absence of this years AgriScot event, here are a few innovations and award winning news stories.
Successful Season for BDC Systems BDC Systems Ltd reports another successful season for the wellknown BDC SVEGMA grain driers and Skandia elevating and conveying equipment. As we all missed out on Shows and Open Days in 2020, we are actively planning ahead for Harvest 2021. We can arrange along with our dealer network, site visits and assist with design, budgets and proposals, including installation and associated works as required.
Sales of Skandia’s range of elevating and conveying equipment has grown year on year, due to competitive prices, extended warranties, quality products and quick deliveries. With the addition of New Products and accessories across the range, the future looks very promising. As the official Skandia UK agent, BDC Systems keeps a vast number of spares for the equipment in stock
at its warehouse in Wiltshire for immediate delivery. Ventilation equipment sales have also increased this year, with more new stores looking to install below floor ventilation systems, for ease of loading / unloading and even airflow through the crop. Heavy duty level floor laterals, Corraducts, New Pyramid Terminals ventilators and ventilation fans from 0.25kw to 7.5kw are also available from stock.

Foster forage boxes Our Forage Boxes have undergone a design overhaul. We have increased the size of the XC belt and the discharge outlet to reduce blockages. The canopy is 6” higher and we have added an extra wooden board all round to increase capacity. Faster augers will attack and shred material more easily creating a mixed fluffy feed. Floor runners and chain channels are now thicker metal for greater wearing and longevity. The drawbar is bigger and stronger. Factory fitted road light options are available as extra. Our GG range of Super Scrubcutters have been in the 88
gym and now have the X Factor! GG1700X and GG2000X now have a 12mm top deck and additional RHS struts for greater protection from the chain underneath. New skid design using 120x60x5mm RHS to give greater support in wet conditions and allows easier plating for a total 17mm of skid thickness. 4 cutting height options on the skids and new wire rope slings for greater protection from fire complete the new design. Further design improvements will be made to our range of Livestock Boxes and watch out for brand new products later in the year. www.farmingscotlandmagazine.com
