ANEWSnew Responsible Rid ing Charter for all-ter rain vehicles has been launched to reinforce rider best practice and challenge ATV us ers to rethink how they approach riderThesafetycharter has been devel oped employing the knowledge and experience of the Can-Am off-road team. It is designed to Off-road charter promotes responsible riding help educate UK utility and rec reational users through a series of simple and easy to remember tips.Advice includes being mindful of the animals that riders come across and not damaging their natural habitat, remembering everyone has their own way of riding and sharing best practice for riding different terrains.
James Dalke, UK commercial manager for Can-Am parent com pany BRPO, said: “The new char ter we are launching reflects our commitment to educating users on rider safety. “The aim of the charter is to provide users with easy to re member tips and advice that spark conversations about re sponsible riding, whether at work or at“Thesehome.conversations will, in turn, help users ensure they are as safe as they can be.” ers £249. Purchasers pay £99 for installation and a £9.95/month service charge thereafter. New to the range is a revised Grizzly 700 ATV with MKII 686cc engine and upgraded 14-inch wheels.

This helps opera tors move easily between twoand four-wheel drive as ground conditions change. Comfort and control Coupled with Yamaha’s Ultra matic CVT automatic transmis sion and independent long-travel adjustable suspension, the new Grizzly is said to be easier to con trol and more comfortable for rid ers on difficult terrain. A new Wolverine RMAX 1000 side-by-side model will be launched in the UK in both SE and Limited Edition (LE) spec ifications. Both models benefit from a new VRX 45 winch, front bumper, interior lighting and dash mounted USB charger. They also retain Yamaha’s versatile D-Mode selector with sport, trail, and crawl modes. The Wolverine RMAX LE is fit ted with adjustable FOX 2 iQS suspension, and for the first time on a UTV this can be adjusted from within the cab. Meanwhile, the LE model fea tures a dash mounted control to adjust the ride quality based on the terrain. Operators can choose comfort, medium, or firm, with all controlled by a Bosch ECU and IP67-rated components. On safety, Yamaha has intro duced its speed management tech nology to the Wolverine RMAX LE. The key enables owners to limit the top speed to 25km/h without affecting power. This will protect operators and machines in conditions where higher speeds are not required, says Yamaha. The key can be re moved by the owner to return the Wolverine RMAX to factory spec ification at any time. Yamaha has also extended its commitment to operator safety by offering free ATV rider com petency training from the Euro pean All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute to anyone purchasing a new Yamaha ATV. It says this training provides the necessary safety information and experience to operators – en abling the full features and per formance of the ATV to be utilised safely in all conditions. Both offer greater stability on uneven ground “
Riders are also reminded to ensure the vehicle is correctly in sured and registered. To comple ment the charter, two safety vid eos for users to watch have been released on the Can-Am off-road YouTube channel.

Fitting between the narrowand wide-bodied machines, and aimed at medium-sized farms, the M series will be produced from 2023 onwards in five mixing capacities from 16 to 25m³. The 20m³ capacity machine has an overall height of less than 3 metres, making it well suited to housing with lower access. The largest machine in the range at 25m³ can feed 200 cows in a single pass, making it perfectly positioned for the average 212-cow UK dairy herd.

The Prosort can be used in the field or in a farm building. It can be integrated into a new or existing grading line. Haith sales manager Rob Highfield says he expects strong interest at the Potato Europe event. “Haith and Grimme’s innovative combined approach has solved two common problems facing growers today – the need to sort in the field or the farm accurately and quickly and with fewer people.”

For potato packers and processors looking for a complete turnkey solution, Haith’s ProLine wash line platform features its RotaTip box tippler, waste separation and numerous other features for customers wanting to introduce a new line. Queen’s award Mr Highfield says: By working with some of the biggest food producers and packers in the UK and overseas as well as smaller businesses, we have had the opportunity to refine how our individual machines work together.
First manufactured in 2011, the Rota-Tip Up-Eject is trusted by most of the UK’s potato packers to transfer produce onto washing, sizing and packing lines. It has received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.Haithinnovated the design by replacing hydraulic motors with all-electric drives, which use less power and prevent oil leaks. The company also developed a safer and more effective rotating system that can handle larger box volumes than older designs.
More than 180 machines have been sold – including to customers in Japan, Israel, Canada and the USA. In the UK, Haith estimates that 95% of the UK’s supermarket potato suppliers use the Rota-tip – handling most potatoes sold in Britain. In April, Haith was awarded its second Queen’s Award for Enterprise for its RotaTip box tipping system, which it will show at Potato Europe alongside its ProSort grader and ProLine modular washing line (top). Pictured with the Rota-Tip are (l to r) Nigel Haith, chairman, Duane Hill, managing director, and David Haith, engineering director.
