Out and About with the FG team

Eastern promise

for its success will be the creation of an effective dealer network for which it is currently inviting enquiries.

Watch out for the full test drive report in the September edition.

Black-grass blues

All-new Lovol Arbos tractors.

Farmers Guide was invited to test drive an all-new range of tractors during late July. Lovol Arbos tractors were previewed at Agritechnica in 2015 and displayed at Sima this year, and are due to enter full production for early 2018 with first deliveries this autumn.

The new tractors are assembled in Italy but involve a tie up between Chinese manufacturer Foton and Italian implement manufacturer Matermacc, with the Arbos brand name revived from its previous application as an Italian combine harvester manufacturer.

The transmission and front axle are Chinese, the engine is from Kohler and the cab is an in-house design. Hydraulic systems are from European suppliers used by several major brands.

Although the range will include models up to 260hp during the next few years, for now only the 100–136hp 5000-series is offered. Transmissions are semi-powershift and 3-speed powershift.

The test drive, in northern Italy, included an opportunity to try out the new tractors with a variety of cultivation implements in heavy, dry working conditions.

The cabs are comfortable without being luxurious, controls are easy to use and relatively basic and it is obvious that the company is targeting mixed and smaller arable farms with its first offering. Price is likely to be approximately 10 per cent under that of major brands, but the company realises that the biggest requirement

It’ll come as no surprise that ahead of autumn establishment we have a major focus on blackgrass in the Arable section of this edition of Farmers Guide. While those growers who currently don’t suffer from infestations of black-grass on their land – those on lighter land with broad cropping rotations in North Norfolk, for example, or those in the far north or west of the country – may find reading about it a little tiresome, the fact is that this adaptable weed is spreading.

There’s no doubt, according to one of our Field Focus agronomists in North Yorkshire (quoted on page 8), that he is seeing it on farms for the first time in his region and that machinery such as balers and combines is partly to blame. Blackgrass seed harvested in crops is distributed from field to field as machinery moves around the countryside and contractors, in particular, must be vigilant in cleaning down kit before moving on.

Will we win the war against black-grass?

The overriding message to those farmers whose land is not yet affected, however, is that black-grass is coming. That said, they have a golden opportunity to learn from, and adhere to, the cultural control regimes being applied day after day by farmers already on the black-grass battlefront. Start applying them now, and the war

just might be won.

We also report from two heavy land blackgrass trials sites where cultural control including later drilling, spring crops and cover crops is showing signs of success against the pernicious weed (pages 12 and 23).

Also, on page 19, we report on the latest Grass Weed study 17 years after the last one and which reports that, in severe black-grass situations in 2016, average herbicide cost was £106/ha – that’s without factoring in the cost of the seed, fertiliser and first fungicides where crops were eventually sprayed off.

Certainly an unsustainable situation.

And finally…

A farmer was involved in a bad car accident and he was in a coma for several days. When he came round his doctor told him there was some good news and some bad news. The good news was that he was going to be perfectly okay. But the bad news was that his ‘manhood’ had been completely severed in the accident.

The doctor explained that, luckily, the paramedics had found it at the crash site and it had been kept on ice, and there were skilled surgeons who could sew it back on. However the doctor pointed out that as the operation couldn’t be done on the NHS, it would have to be done privately and it might be quite expensive. “But as the accident wasn’t your fault, you should be getting considerable compensation from the insurance company which will help to pay for the operation,” advised the doctor. “Talk it over with your wife and let me know what you want to do,” he added.

The doctor returned the next day to ask the farmer if he had made up his mind.

“Yes we have,” he replied. “We are having a new kitchen.”

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz

Having been out of action for a month or so with a broken hip and its subsequent repair, it is good to be back in the saddle again and looking forward any day to starting driving again (please note that the local NHS service was excellent).

The recent comments from environment secretary Michael Gove concerning the future of farm subsidy payments throws a quiet query into what his meaning is. He has stated that he intends to review the policy on farm payments covering environment aspects, biodiversity, chemical regulations and animal welfare, rather than the current EU CAP basis of payment of direct support based on acreage. I cannot think that we need much improvement into UK animal welfare, however there could be problems with chemical use restrictions and also the need for tree planting.

With targets of 50,000ha (123,500 acres) of new plantings per annum required, it is years since these aspirations have been achieved and I can easily see compulsory tree planting entering the farming equation.

Although the promise from the Government is to continue the level of farm subsidy payments of £3b/year through to 2022, it may well come with environmental requirements we have not seen before. Initial responses from the leading farming organisations are that, whatever happens, it must not detract from the need to have a safe and stable supply of food for the nation. However there is some strong support for payments based on farmers managing land for the total benefit of society alongside producing quality food.

With the onset of harvest starting very early this month, the weeks of glorious sunshine naturally broke up and we have had unsettled weather ever since the winter barley harvest started. There have been heavy rain showers across the country keeping combines in the barn for a number of days. However there have been sufficient good days to get into the harvest and bring home the grain. Yields appear to be variable across the country but in East Anglia yields of winter barley are looking good so far. There has been a range of quality problems this year with winter malting barleys but this is probably no worse than normal.

We must wait to see the bulk of the crop in the barn before drawing final conclusions.

Grain Gossip Wheat harvest has progressed across both Eastern and Western Europe despite interruption by rain.

Russian yields are reported up and Ukraine’s down.

Much of Western Europe has seen significant rain causing uncertainty on yields and quality so far.

Up to 30 per cent of French wheat was harvested by the middle of July and world wheat prices were down by £5–£7/t across the same month.

In the US crop reports are forecasting an improvement in yields which has suppressed the overall market price. However an entirely different story is coming out of Australia where lack of rain is creating a big drop on last season’s yields with predictions by as much as 30 per cent down on last year’s record harvest.

Obviously with the Australian harvest some months away, this could cause a wide range of price variation as we go forward.

This week (w/c 17th July) across the country feed wheat prices have ranged from £135–£140/t ex-farm harvest depending on location. Feed barley has ranged from £114–£117/t ex-farm as shippers wait for boats to arrive. There is very little feed wheat combined to date due to rainfall. It is early days for malting barley values except contract prices. Those acres of milling wheat already harvested appear to be of good quality.

I rarely spend much time on oilseed rape but get the impression that it has been a very good harvest across the country this year with yields closer to 4t/ha rather than 3t/ha where crops have escaped flea beetle.

unable to revel in the actions of the Lions in New Zealand. What a glorious set of Test matches we enjoyed right down to the end of the third. I think a draw was an excellent conclusion to a really exciting series.

Now we are into cricket and an England team which in the first two Tests went from the sublime to the “cor blimey”. I just could not believe the England performance in the second Test and I do hope the team for Test number three contains some fresh faces, particularly batsmen. At least the England women’s cricket team concluded a most historic World Cup win this week in a dramatic match. Many congratulations to them.

Fertiliser Fragments The major urea buyer in the world has been India and last year, although purchases were significantly down in volume, a number of alternative producers had entered the Indian market including Ukraine, Russia and Egypt. It is predicted this increase in competition will continue through 2017 and total Indian import tonnage will increase. India put out a tender earlier this month for a purchase of 500,000t which has had the result of firming the world market price by around $20/t.

Currently in the UK granular urea can be sourced at around £200–£210/t delivered farm and is likely to firm further.

Currently Nitram is around £195/t delivered farm for October with no stocks offered for August and September. I do suggest that you firm up on some of your nitrogen requirement. Compounds are freely available and I believe competitive, and of course we have the re-established Bunn production back in the market for both blended compounds and imported nitrogen from Fakenham, Norfolk.

Field f cus Harvest is underway but black-grass is never far from our agronomists’ thoughts. Dominic Kilburn writes.

Nottinghamshire Winter barley and OSR harvest started for agronomist Christina Scarborough’s growers in mid-July and, although it was too early to judge yields, grains were coming off the fields well compared with the past two years, she noted.

Of the spring crops, barley and beans are looking in good condition in part due to rain arriving at just the right time during establishment earlier this year, as well as it having been a low disease pressure season, she reasoned.

“The spring beans are podding up nicely from the stems and are on schedule for a mid-August start date for harvesting,” said Christina.

Black-grass control has been good with the autumn residuals doing their job and the addition of more winter barley in rotations

providing good black-grass smothering.

“With difficulty in relying on late drilling much after the first week in October in this region, we have to look at other cultural control options and winter barley seems to have worked well.”

Christina said that at a recent agronomy day staged by Syngenta, the company’s new SDHI seed treatment Vibrance Duo (fludioxonil + sedaxane) seemed to have produced much greener and thicker wheat crops in trials, with larger ears than those standard treated crops alongside.

“It’s worth consideration as a means to give crops an extra boost this autumn to help out compete black-grass,” she suggested.

Instead of using a pre-emergence herbicide on OSR crops this autumn, Christina said she’d be

recommending a peri-emergence spray. “It’s amazing the difference in crop vigour after a peri-em compared with a pre-em. The crop doesn’t get knocked back so much,” she pointed out.

With new stewardship guidelines recommending 10m buffer zones for metaldehyde slug pellet applications around all field boundaries and not just those of watercourses, Christina suggested a switch to ferric phosphate-based pellets made sense, at least for the field edges, while growers could continue to use metaldehyde pellets in the centre if preferred. “It does cost a bit more as a treatment but growers should take more confidence in the performance of ferric phosphate, and they don’t always have to go with the full rate.

“My growers see the associated problems with water pollution and knock-on effects to birds and small mammals, and most have made the switch,” she added.

Christina can be contacted via email: Christina@cjsagronomy. co.uk or tel: 07969507082.

North Yorkshire Winter barley harvest got underway in mid-July for North Yorkshire based AICC agronomist Andrew Fisher.

However bushel weights appear

a little disappointing at this early stage. He suggested that the dry weather in April and May might have taken the edge off them.

In a part of the country where black-grass is starting to appear in fields for the first time, Andrew warned that growers have got to think about their options for control as soon as possible. “Without a doubt we have seen it spread where contract balers and combines have come into fields – they are very difficult to clean down properly each time,” he explained.

“On one farm near Gainsborough I did a cereal seed inspection recently, and I couldn’t find any black-grass despite the fact that, in the past, it had suffered from infestations. “The grower had changed the rotation, introduced fallow to the worse fields and hand rogued remaining black-grass, starting with the lightly infested fields first and working towards the worst fields, where patches were sprayed off with a knapsack sprayer where needed.

“Quite a few growers around here have a zero tolerance to black-grass, he added.

Andrew Fisher can be contacted via email: conker.fisher@farming. co.uk, or tel: 07836711918.

■

Pre-em application needs careful planning Farmers and contractors are being urged to plan their autumn black-grass control programme now.

Gowan UK’s development manager Kuldip Mudhar (right), says that a well-timed application of Avadex Excel 15G (tri-allate) should give an additional 15–20 per cent

control of black-grass.

Even with good levels of control seen this year and possible low seed return, Kuldip warns against complacency. For best results Avadex needs to be applied correctly preemergence of the crops and weeds to a well-consolidated seedbed, he says.

While the pre-emergence timing is critical, it is also vital to ensure

the evenness and accuracy of the application. Kuldip suggests that any Avadex application machinery is calibrated before the season and recommends a patternation test along with the normal calibration to ensure evenness of application across the boom width.

Avadex granules can be used on winter wheat, winter barley and spring barley. “It fulfils a key role in the control of difficult grass weeds

such as black-grass, annual meadowgrass and wild oats and should be considered in any brome control programmes, as well as offering some common broad-leaved weed control, including cleavers, charlock, chickweed, mayweeds and poppy,” he says.

“Farmers are keen to integrate this valuable active ingredient into their weed control programme in both winter and spring crops.”

Win 10 tonnes of CF Nitram with Farmers Guide and CF Fertilisers One very lucky Farmers Guide reader will win 10t of CF’s Nitram fertiliser by entering this exclusive competition. Please read the article below, answer the simple question that follows and then fill in the entry form or take part online.

Nitram delivers highest harvest yields and grain quality case scenario being 43 per cent, he says.

“This means that nearly half of the nitrogen paid for in urea can end up in the atmosphere and not on your crops.”

Optimum N rate

With combines now rolling across the UK, much of the final yield and quality being realised will be the result of fertiliser decisions made several months ago, says CF Fertilisers’ Ross Leadbeater.

“It’s not just about application rates and timings, the type of fertiliser you use can have a massive effect on the results you see at harvest.

“Evenness of application due to uniformity of prill size, how quickly material is absorbed by the plant and the overall efficiency of nitrogen utilisation all have a significant impact on how nitrogen use is translated into crop growth.”

When it comes to using fertilisers to maximise both yield and grain quality, there are some indisputable facts, he points out.

“There is a wealth of information built up over the years with regard to the relative benefits of Britishproduced Nitram ammonium nitrate (AN) compared with imported urea in relation to the UK’s specific growing conditions.”

According to the definitive Defra NT26 research programme into UK fertiliser use, for example, loss of nitrogen to the air from urea averages 22 per cent with the worst

In fact, the original Defra-funded researchers worked out that to maintain crop yields, the optimum N rate using urea would have to be, on average, 20 per cent higher than with AN, he explains.

“Using these higher levels of urea-based fertilisers would undoubtedly lead to serious harm to the environment, enriching sensitive habitats, contributing to poor air quality and causing the secondary release of nitrous oxide, a dangerous greenhouse gas, the researchers reported.”

On average, winter cereals using AN were shown to have yields 0.3–0.4t/ha more than those which received urea, Ross Leadbeater adds.

“Replicated experiments funded

by Defra since 2003 have shown that at a rate of 200kg N/ha, AN yielded more than urea in 77 per cent of cases and gave a yield advantage of more than 1t/ha in one case.”

In terms of grain quality, a review of all available data by ADAS in 2015 concluded use of AN increased grain protein content by 0.4 per cent compared with urea, thus illustrating its superior performance in milling wheats, he points out.

“Defra has also reported that urea use lowers protein levels in wheat by around 0.3 per cent. This has been replicated in other trials on many occasions.

“Overall, the conclusion reached by the Defra funded researchers in their summary to the extensive five years of in-depth work behind their NT26 research programme is that AN remains the best option for UK agriculture.”

■

Nitram FACTS •

• • •

Ammonium nitrate (Nitram) is a very predictable and efficient source of nitrogen manufactured and marketed for over 50 years.

As the most efficient source of nitrogen, it is ‘the best option for the environment and farming’ according to Defra research.

With consistent manufacturing, Nitram prills spread evenly up to wider widths (with a correctly calibrated spreader) maximising application accuracy and minimising environmental concerns.

Nitram is supported by CF Fertilisers’ technical advice services such as N-Min and N-Calc to ensure optimum utilisation efficiency.

To take part in the competition, please read the question below and circle the correct answer: Researchers have found that to maintain crop yields, the optimum nitrogen rate using urea over AN would have to be, on average... a) 5% higher

b) 10% higher

c)15% higher

d) 20% higher

Cultural control continues to evolve in black-grass challenge Originally set up as a crop protection trials centre, Agrii’s Stow Longa heavy land site near Huntingdon has evolved more into a major study of cultural control methods in the on-going battle against black-grass. Dominic Kilburn reports on some of the latest findings.

If left untreated, the trials site at Stow Longa has the potential to produce as many as 1,500 ears of black-grass/m2

After 17 years of heavy land black-grass trials at Stow Longa in Cambridgeshire, it’s clear that cultural control methods including cultivation, drilling date and rotation are key drivers for success with difficultto-control resistant black-grass populations.

And, while there is no blue print for success – as every farm and field is different – the advice from one expert is for growers to remain flexible in their approach to black-grass control this season.

Understand what has been done in the past and then work with your agronomist to answer all the questions, and then establish a strategy for the season ahead, summarised Agrii’s Colin Lloyd (right), speaking at Stow Longa earlier in the summer.

“Assess each field. Think about cultivation and rotation, and consider later drilling or drilling in the spring if needs be. There might be a need to ‘spoil’ the planned rotation – perhaps a spring barley instead of a second wheat – but it’s about staying in business,” he said.

And that advice is just as pertinent to those in parts of the country where signs of black-grass are being seen for the first time, as well as for those who have been battling it for several years, stressed Mr Lloyd.

“Black-grass is an adaptable plant

and resistant black-grass is now widespread in many parts of England and moving into Wales and Scotland,” he warned.

“100 ears of black-grass/m2 reduces winter wheat yield by 1t/ha and 400 ears of black-grass/m2 is common on many farms in the UK. This is not sustainable and the reason why black-grass control is so important,” he added.

Trials at Stow Longa initially focused on ‘new product’ Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) before and after its launch in 2003, and there was concern at the time that not all the answers for weed control were going to be found in a can if the product was to fail. In 2008, 97 per cent control of black-grass was achieved with Atlantis at the site compared with around 15 per cent in 2015/16, which, according to Mr Lloyd, if left untreated, has the potential to produce as much as 1,500 ears of black-grass/m2.

Later drilling Cultural control trials began in the early 2000s and later, in 2010, a

There might be a need to ‘spoil’ the planned rotation – perhaps drill a spring barley instead of a second wheat to help combat black-grass, growers are advised.

cultivation and drilling date ‘Five-Year Strategic Project’ also commenced.

Over a four-year period (2010– 2015), project trials demonstrated that there was an average of 41 per cent additional winter wheat yield delivered by drilling in October compared with a September drill date – worth an extra £360/ha/year.

“Later drilling is driving the benefit for black-grass control,” commented Mr Lloyd. “Growers need to get it out of their heads about drilling early for bigger yields. Yes, that was true before resistant black-grass but that’s not the case now.”

He suggested that primary cultivations, whether that be a rotational plough or some other form of cultivation, should take place as soon as possible after harvest to allow for the maximum time for grass weeds to chit ahead of drilling. “Get cultivations out of the way early, then leave the land for about six weeks before spraying off with glyphosate and drilling.

“After many years of trials here on a heavy land site infested with resistant black-grass, we have found the six week gap critical. I don’t care whether it’s a high dormancy year or a low dormancy year for black-grass seed. Allow six weeks and that will give you the maximum chit,” he stressed. If you still want to drill something early, then look at a winter barley and not a wheat,” added Mr Lloyd.

“Don’t keep scratching the soil with more cultivations to try and get more chits. You must have the resource on farm to drill your entire winter acreage late, otherwise you shouldn’t be trying to do it,” he continued. “If it’s a problem, then there must be a change in the workload to make it happen as you cannot keep doing what you used to do where black-grass is concerned.

“Rotational ploughing may still be the ‘cultural control utopia’ but later drilling is driving the benefits,” he said.

By comparison, direct drilling in year 3 – following direct drilling in year 2 and the plough in year 1 – delivered 84 per cent control of black-grass and delivered yields of 7.21t/ha.

“Three years on after the start of the project, the plough was still showing its rotational benefit,” highlighted Mr Lloyd. “The difference in the amount of black-grass control and yield was excellent – in this instance (2013) doubling the yield three years after the initial change in cultivation technique,” he explained.

“We are trying to understand what all these cultivations mean – but we do know that cultivation and drilling date makes a difference.

“You can beat black-grass but in order to do that you are going to have to do something a little different,” he suggested.

Nutritional boost Agrii technical advisor David Felce briefly highlighted on-going trials work at Stow Longa looking at the role that nutrition can play in boosting later drilled wheat. He said that because later drilled wheat has a shorter growing period, nutrition in the seedbed in the form of a seed dressing could boost crop growth and, in turn, its competitiveness against black-grass as it establishes.

“When you are drilling late on heavy soils everything has to be focused on a good seedbed and good soil structure – including the right balance of air and water in the soil to encourage biological activity – as well as maximising the use of fertiliser to supply the crop with the major nutrients,” he concluded.

■

Cultivation conundrums In the same project, different cultivation techniques were studied for their affect on black-grass control with a rotational plough demonstrating high levels of blackgrass control compared with direct drilling and disc- and tine-based cultivations.

Interestingly, in year 3 (2012), direct drilling – following direct drilling in 2011 and min-till in 2010 – resulted in only 33 per cent control of black-grass with resulting wheat yields of 3.65t/ha.

Agrii adviser David Felce said that often there is negativity surrounding the use of the plough, but he suggested that it had delivered good results at Stow Longa this season and is a good method of injecting air into the soil to increase biological activity.

Rotational trials provide valuable black-grass and margin comparisons Winter bean margins may be modest, but in both Year 1 and Year 2 they gave the lowest levels of black-grass seed return of any crop.

Rotational trials at Agrii’s Stow Longa heavy land trials site in Cambridgeshire were established in 2014/2015 and included five, 1ha blocks subject to a range of different rotations and cultural regimes.

Two years into the work, yield and gross margin as well as black-grass population comparisons between rotations and regimes are providing valuable information on the most economic as well as effective weed control.

“In our first year we recorded average black-grass populations varying from zero to 1,200 heads/m2 over our

five separate fields,” said Mr Lloyd.

“At 18–285 heads/m2 across the fields in 2015/16, we saw noticeable improvements from our rotations in three cases and backward steps in two.

“More interestingly, though, the blackgrass populations we saw from the 19 main treatments we had across the trial last season varied from 1–876 heads/ m2. At the same time, the operating margins (including establishment as well as input costs) differed by nearly £1,000/ha from -£376/ha to +£567/ha.

After winter oats that gave a high blackgrass return, winter wheat is far better drilled late, says Agrii.

“What’s more, the best results in Year 2 didn’t necessarily come from the fields with the least seed return the year before. It all depended on both the crops we chose and the way we established them.

“This underlines the extent to which the good work of one year can all too easily be undone by poor decisions the following season,” Mr Lloyd stressed. “Encouragingly, though, it also shows that getting things wrong in one year can be overcome with good decisions the next.”

Unsurprisingly perhaps, spring cereals – either after a fallow or another spring crop – stand out as much better for both black-grass control and margin-earning than winter wheat in ground with a history of serious weed problems.

However, even following a zero seed return fallow, the Stow Longa work shows a spring crop will not keep black-grass under sufficient control without the most appropriate establishment management.

In the same way, it points to the fact that two spring crops in a row aren’t necessarily the solution either, although correct management can do much to reduce the weed burden.

Winter beans “Winter beans look a very interesting proposition,” he noted. “Their margins may be modest, but in both Year 1 and Year 2 they gave us the lowest levels of black-grass seed return of any crop. An average of 18 heads/m2 last

summer following 390 heads/m2 in the previous wheat crop was especially impressive.

“Late August-sown cover crops resulted in higher black-grass populations than either deep cultivation or ploughing in most cases. But a clear improvement in winter wheat yields and operating margins after the covers – even after accounting for their extra costs – suggests they are contributing in other ways.

Winter wheat is best drilled late even after a low black-grass return from winter beans.

“Overall, the message coming out of this latest work is clear,” he concluded.

“We need to keep sufficient flexibility to respond to our black-grass problems field-by-field, season-by-season with all the cultural as well as chemical tools available to us. We need to see the challenge as a continuous and continuously evolving one rather than something that can be fixed by a simple action or two. And we still have a lot to learn about a number of potentially valuable cultural opportunities – most notably winter beans and cover cropping.”

New option for weed control in OSR this autumn By applying Crawler to OSR earlier in the season, it helps keep pesticides out of water as well as reducing the weed pressure for later-applied propyzamide products.

At an ‘autumn crop protection’ briefing, Adama outlined a new herbicide option for oilseed rape growers as well as updates to other products in its weed control portfolio. Dominic Kilburn writes.

A new approach to broad-leaved weed control in oilseed rape is how crop protection company Adama describes its latest herbicide offering.

Parish is a post emergence herbicide based on active ingredient phenmedipham, which sugar beet growers will recognise as a product associated with that crop. However, Adama has now developed its use in oilseed rape with activity on a range of important weeds including groundsel, small nettle, field pansy, and, notably, chickweed.

According to the company’s herbicide technical specialist David Roberts (left), Parish fills the gap between drilling, and later applied herbicides. “There’s been a significant decline in the use of pre-em herbicides in oilseed rape due to reticence in spending money on crops which may not survive, following crop restrictions and the reliance on, and good performance of, later applied products such as AstroKerb,” he pointed out.

“However, waiting until November to apply a herbicide can allow broad-leaved weeds like chickweed to compete with the crop and so Parish can fill that gap by hitting weeds when they are small and susceptible,” he added.

It can be applied to OSR when the crop has two true leaves and before nine leaves are unfolded, applied to weeds from cotyledon to two-true leaves and can be applied at maximum total and individual doses of 1.1-litres/ha, with a seven day interval between applications,

explained Mr Roberts.

A contact herbicide, Parish is unaffected by soil type, is not an ALS-inhibitor herbicide and, crucially, he said, does not limit following crop options in the event of OSR failure.

According to Mr Roberts, trials have demonstrated that against the standard metazachlor product for groundsel and chickweed, Parish at the full rate offers comparable control.

“Parish has the added advantage of being a non-metazachlor option – metazachlor being one of the main pollutants of drinking water – and therefore it offers growers a costeffective alternative.”

Black-grass reminder Switching to grass weeds in oilseed rape, and in particular black-grass, Mr Roberts reiterated Adama’s advice of recent seasons to go early (preemergence to four-true leaves) with Crawler (carbetamide) applications.

“The best time to apply Crawler is early in the season when black-grass is shallow-rooted at between 2–3cm, but the seedbed needs to be good, and not cloddy. With an increasing number of these applications at the earlier timing, there have been no problems with efficacy and we want this trend to continue.

“By going early it helps keep Crawler out of water as well as reducing the pressure on laterapplied propyzamide products where there is a danger of them getting into water.”

Where black-grass pressure is extremely high, an effective foliar graminicide should also be considered between the Crawler and propyzamide treatments, he added.

“Farmers are asking us if they can apply Crawler in September when the soil is dry, and our trials show that applications can be moved earlier with confidence even if soils are dry and there is no rainfall.

There is no difference in the levels of control in relation to the timing of post-application rainfall.

“Applying Crawler early in the season as part of an integrated resistance management strategy can cost-effectively deliver more than 96 per cent control of black-grass,” he said.

Three-way mix Following extensive in-field testing of commercially grown varieties, Mr Roberts also announced that Adama’s residual herbicide Tower (DFF + chlorotoluron + pendimethalin) has had all varietal restrictions for use on winter wheat removed.

“This new position is also supported by many seasons of use in Europe, without any reports of adverse effects due to selectivity,” he commented.

“As well as providing a good option against meadow grass and ryegrass, Tower is effective against difficult-to-control weeds such as chickweed, poppy and mayweed in cereals.”

In addition, Tower offers control of resistant ryegrass when applied with Movon (DFF + flufenacet + flurtamone), or with Movon + Defy (prosulfocarb), pointed out Mr Roberts.

“It’s also accepted that the active ingredients in Tower have a strong role to play within the sequenced approach to black-grass control and Adama is planning to further investigate the stacking and positioning for this.”

Stewardship matters Adama registration manager Dr Alison Hall (left) concluded the meeting by warning that the stakes for crop protection products were getting higher each season and that agriculture, through integrated crop management (ICM) and stewardship, must be as sustainable as possible.

“It’s in everybody’s interest within crop protection that we focus on prolonging the availability and safe use of products, while minimising or eradicating any adverse effects on non-target species and the wider environment.

“ICM gets the best out of the growing crop and stewardship is how we can best use the tools sustainably,” she added.

Focusing on the importance of preventing pesticides entering drinking water protected areas (DrWPAs), she highlighted new herbicide Parish (as a metazachlor replacement), the move to the earlier application timing of Crawler and Adama’s WaterAware app as examples of on-going stewardship.

“For us, stewardship is about maintaining the tools for crop protection and we are looking to make the messages more simple.

“We can wait for a government mandate or we can control what we do and embrace stewardship by implementing it,” stressed Dr Hall. ■

Getting to grips with grass weeds It’s a well-known fact that grass weed control is a major problem facing UK farmers. Dominic Kilburn reports on the findings of a new survey which highlights how issues with weeds have forced unprecedented changes in farm management practices.

According to the latest ‘National Grass Weed Study’ on average, growers spent £89/ha on their farm herbicide bill last year: 21 per cent of them spending between £100– £125/ha, 10 per cent spending between £125–£150/ha and 3 per cent over £150/ha.

Comparing herbicide costs by cultivation type, the average spend on herbicides in 2016 from ploughbased systems was £74/ha, and £95/ha on a min-till based system – the latter seemingly more reliant on chemistry.

In addition, 55 per cent of farmers sprayed off crops in 2016 due to grass weed infestations and, in these severe black-grass situations, average herbicide cost was £106/ha – that’s without factoring in the cost of the seed, fertiliser and first fungicides.

That’s the stark reality of the problem facing farmers in the UK, highlighted Monsanto’s technical development manager, Barrie Hunt (left) who was presenting results from the company’s National Grass Weed Study undertaken in 2016, involving over 380 growers from around the UK. “There’s no doubt grass weeds in arable crops are the number one problem,” commented Mr Hunt. “If you look at the fact that resistant black-grass was first found in Essex, in 1982, and now most farms that have been sprayed with herbicides regularly have some level of resistance, then we’ve not been very successful in dealing with it,” he said.

“There has also been a major decline in the performance of key herbicides over the years as well as a loss of products which has had an effect,” he added.

“However, the issue is far more than just black-grass,” continued Mr Hunt. “Perhaps there has been too much of a focus on black-grass at the expense of other weeds such as

bromes wild oats and even couch.

“How to control a mix of these weeds, and black-grass, is not easy,” he said.

Comparisons The first National Grass Weed Study was carried out by Monsanto in 2000, featuring 234 growers on 119,500ha (295,000 acres).

The latest, 16 years on, included 386 growers on an arable area of 165,000ha (407,500 acres).

Back in 2000 it was acknowledged by those in the survey that 34 per cent of their winter cereals area was suffering from black-grass problems, and 30 per cent was affected by wild oats. Fast forward 16 years and almost half the winter cereals area had black-grass as a problem (a 35 per cent rise), although difficulties with wild oats had fallen slightly.

Brome and ryegrass problem areas had also increased by 72 and 55 per cent respectively during the intervening years.

In line with this, 74 per cent of farms reported an increase in black-grass problems and 38 per cent of farms reported an increased problem with brome.

Furthermore, 32 per cent of growers saw herbicide resistance as a “very serious or serious problem” when it came to managing blackgrass in 2000, and this figure leapt to 62 per cent in 2016.

Spray timings Looking at typical spray timings used to control black-grass in winter cereals and how they might have changed, in 2000 the vast majority (71 per cent of farms) were using autumn postemergence herbicides with only 12 per cent of farms using autumn pre-em products. “This was preAtlantis of course, when products like IPU and Lexus were in use, and only 16 per cent of farms were using post-em products in the spring,” commented Mr Hunt.

“By 2016 there had been a huge swing to autumn pre-ems (84 per cent of farms) and a reduction in autumn post-em (45 per cent) on

Black-grass and grass weed problems in general have done more to shift farmers towards spring cropping than any agri-policy.

account of resistance, as well as much more use of stubble-applied sprays; 76 per cent of farms in 2016 compared with 29 per cent in 2000.

“Spring post-em spray use had increased in prominence by 2016 (62 per cent of farms compared with 16 per cent in 2000) and this is probably down to growers attempting to catch up with other weeds at the same time,” he suggested.

However, Mr Hunt added that those surveyed last year were almost unanimous is saying that without glyphosate, their weed control would be virtually impossible and that their cropping systems would be in serious doubt.

Cultural control choice Although the plough is making a comeback on UK farms, at least on a rotational basis, according to the National Grass Weed Study of 2000, 91 per cent of farms questioned said that the plough was one of the main cultural techniques to control grass weeds, 32 per cent spring cropping, 29 per cent stale seedbeds and just 15 per cent delayed autumn drilling.

This compares with 63 per cent using the plough in 2016, but big

increases in the proportion of farms using spring cropping, stale seedbeds and delayed autumn drilling (81, 78 and 69 per cent respectively).

“Cultural technique habits like delayed drilling take a long time to develop but it’s clear when you consider this change, and the increase in stale seedbeds and spring cropping, that growers are trying to get more and more weed control outside of the crop itself,” explained Mr Hunt.

“Black-grass and grass weed problems in general have done more to shift farmers towards spring cropping than any agripolicy may have done,” he added.

Future changes To conclude last year’s study, growers were asked what were the main management changes they were considering to address current grass weed problems.

Growing more spring crops (62 per cent of farms); improving stubble weed control (53 per cent); improving winter OSR weed control and drilling more winter wheat later (both 41 per cent) were some of the most popular considerations of 12 cultural control solutions. continued over...

“The good news is that everyone in the survey was thinking about doing a number of cultural controls – and not just one thing,” summed up Mr Hunt.

Online resource As well as the latest Grass Weed Study, Monsanto has launched an online resource to help growers in the continued battle with grass weeds. Called ‘Grass Weed Action’ the new initiative aims to bring together

wide-ranging information on problem weeds including blackgrass, bromes, Italian ryegrass, wild oats and couch.

“Grass Weed Action is about helping farmers and their advisers win the fight against grass weeds,” said Monsanto marketing manager, Maria Konovalova (left). “It uses the best available intelligence on problem

weeds and brings it together in one, convenient, well structured starting place,” she explained.

“What it is not doing however is providing a blueprint or one size fits all solution, or replacing any local advice,” she added.

Grass Weed Action contains: • Structured frameworks for tackling each problem weed • A knowledge hub for the latest weed understanding • A newsroom for up-to-date control advice • A network of industry links for extra information, guidance

and support A tracking tool for farm-to-farm benchmarking Ms Konovalova added that the site is to be made widely available to growers and advisers and that no registration system is required. “We also want to include additional information and advice from as many industry partners as possible and links to further sources of practical guidance and support.”

Five steps to black-grass success Weed scientist and herbicide resistance specialist Dr Stephen Moss (right) has launched a new initiative to help growers combat black-grass on their farms. The ‘5 For 5 to Beat Black-grass’ campaign sets about highlighting five control strategies that growers can implement over a five year period.

Speaking at a briefing hosted by Monsanto, Dr Moss said that the five year period was critical in terms of reducing levels of black-grass seed in the soil profile.

“It takes five years to destroy seed in the seedbank, provided you stop new seeds coming in. One year is not enough to make an impact on black-grass seed numbers, however they can be dramatically reduced given sufficient time,” he explained.

Dr Moss’ top tips to beat black-grass over five years are as follows:

3. Sowing date

1. Stop weed seed shedding

5. Herbicides

• •

Patch spraying – record and destroy patches in early June Roguing – remove heading plants by mid-June Crop destruct – early harvest for AD? Minimise seed spread – in crop seed, straw, combines, balers, cultivators and manure Novel methods – eg seed capture/destruction at harvest. ‘Hoovering’ up seeds from surface?

Late chemical sprays to reduce seed viability?

2. Cultivation strategy

• • • • •

Opportunistic (rotational) ploughing – slower speeds will help create better inversion Post-harvest stubble cultivations – what’s best?

Direct drilling/strip tillage Minimum tillage before sowing spring crops Inter-row hoeing/harrowing

• • • •

Delayed autumn drilling of wheat – mid-October + (also better herbicide efficacy) Spring sowing – better results if repeated two or three times Fallow – ideally more than two years Grass ley breaks – the longer the better Crop rotation – mixture of crops/sowing dates

4. Increase crop competition

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

Crops (eg barley more competitive than wheat) Competitive varieties High seed rates (but increased lodging risk) Narrow rows (trash issues make this difficult) Drainage (helps crops grow better) Cover crops (indirect effects much more significant than direct effects)

Use glyphosate pre-sowing to kill weeds effectively Rational pre-emergence herbicide use Less dependence on high risk post-em herbicides Reassessing value of older actives (eg clodinafop) Use alternative modes of action in non-cereal crops Correct timing and application technique Monitor impact of herbicide resistance

Concluding, Dr Moss said that while there was nothing new in the advice outlined in the new initiative, all of it was needed to get on top of black-grass. Growers and agronomists will have to show discipline and commitment to succeed, he added. “It’s also essential to adhere to the three ‘Rs’: Recording, Reviewing and Revising,” he said. “Record the amount of black-grass and its location, on every individual field annually.

“Review progress during the past year and revise the plan for each field if necessary,” stressed Dr Moss.

Searching for heavy land success in spring crop conundrum Now in its fourth year, Agrovista’s ‘Project Lamport’ trial site in Northamptonshire continues to focus on approaches to reliably drill spring crops on heavy land, as growers look to them as a means to reduce burgeoning black-grass populations.

Dominic Kilburn writes.

Agrovista technical manager Mark Hemmant (rght) is in no doubt – controlling black-grass with herbicides has become a lottery. It’s essential, he stressed, that we look at other ways to reduce black-grass pressure and that starts with cultural control.

Mr Hemmant was talking at the company’s heavy land trial site called Project Lamport, near Maidwell in Northamptonshire. The trial, now in its fourth year, consists of 14 different rotational systems and is set within high black-grass populations. In fact, ahead of the project starting and the entire site being ploughed, black-grass plants numbered 2,000/m2 – a legacy of the continuous wheat/oilseed rape rotation of the preceding 10 years.

“Although we know spring cropping is one answer to the black-grass problem, no-one has actually provided growers with good information and advice on how to establish spring crops on heavy land,” he stated.

Different systems “Traditionally in this area of the country and on this type of land, it’s been extremely difficult to get good seedbeds in the spring with which to establish successful spring crops,” continued technical manager Stewart Woodhead (right). “So this project is all about finding the best ways to enable growers to reliably establish spring crops on heavy land while looking at everything possible to reduce black-grass pressure,” he explained.

According to Mr Woodhead, over the life of the project, the trials have managed to demonstrate that crops such as spring wheat and spring barley can be reliably established on the site, albeit with help from cover crops in the rotation. The combination of spring crop and cover crop has helped to reduce black-grass infestation while also providing soil-enhancing benefits.

However, what has also become clear over the past four years is that

attention to detail is key, warned Mr Woodhead. “While an important focus of the trial is to minimise soil disturbance in order to reduce the amount of germinating black-grass, we have seen that even the wrong tyre pressure on a tractor pulling the drill can stir up the soil and encourage black-grass to germinate in the crop,” he highlighted.

Success Developing into what is proving to be the most successful rotation at Project Lamport in terms of crop establishment and black-grass control, “System 3” has featured four years of autumn established cover crops followed by spring wheat. The latest crop, KWS Willow, was direct drilled for minimal soil disturbance on the 28th March at 500 seeds/m2.

“We combi-drilled and then rolled our cover crop in early September following a pass with an X-Press disc harrow, and the idea with the cover crop is that it remains open enough to ‘trick’ the black-grass into germinating with it, as it would in a conventional crop,” said Mr Woodhead.

“The important thing is that we are not smothering the black-grass to prevent it coming through,” he added.

The cover crop was then burnt off with glyphosate in February, some four to six weeks ahead of drilling, followed by a second glyphosate close to drilling in March to kill off any remaining black-grass.

“The cover crop has taken moisture out of the soil as well as ‘accidentally’ bringing out the black-grass to enable it to be sprayed off and to give us very good control,” he commented. “This is the only plot on the site with more than 98 per cent

Four years of autumn established cover crops followed by spring wheat is a rotation that is “working” at the trials site.

control of black-grass and, compared with some on the other plots where we have returned as much as 250 blackgrass seeds/m2, with this system we’re only putting back 40kg of black-grass seed/ha.”

Mr Hemmant added that when direct drilling into heavy soils like this, 40–60 per cent crop establishment was typical and so it was critical that high seed rates should be considered to ensure the crop is sufficiently competitive against black-grass.

“This particular rotation is working for the farmer. Yes, it’s a lot of money to grow and then spray off a cover crop, but what’s the alternative?”

Early destruction In a separate rotational plot where a cover crop was again followed by spring wheat, similarly good results in terms of black-grass control were achieved, but an earlier destruction of the cover crop – in December rather than February – has resulted in improved yields (an additional 0.5t/ ha in 2015 and 0.7t/ha in 2016). “We think the roots of the cover crop held the soil structure together and allowed the direct drilling to take place earlier.

Once established the spring wheat was better able to cover the ground because of the earlier destruction of the cover crop,” pointed out Mr Hemmant.

Standard practice If growers on heavy land with traditional wheat/OSR rotations and increasing problems with black-grass ever needed reminding that they are going to have to do something different if they want to remain in business, then the aptly named ‘Standard Practice’ rotational plot is a demonstration of the stark reality some are facing, suggested Agrovista.

“The initial plough was followed by a first wheat (and full herbicide programme) and gave quite good black-grass control,” said Mr Woodhead. “But three more years including a second wheat followed by OSR and then wheat again, brought all the black-grass back again – just four years after using the plough as the re-set button.

This year we’ve spent around £150/ ha on black-grass chemistry, we’ve got 500 black-grass heads/m2 and I expect yields to be in the 5–7t/ha range.”

Mark Hemmant added: “The question for anyone in this situation is what are they going to do now?

Ploughing is not an option as we got 300 black-grass seeds/m2 two years

“The cost of cover crop seed is in excess of £40/ha but what is there to lose when you are spending £80–150/ha in herbicide cost and still getting blackgrass?” questioned Mark Hemmant.

after the plough and we can’t herbicide our way out of it. By the second year we’d already lost the benefit of the plough.

“The cost of cover crop seed is in excess of £40/ha but what is there to lose when you are spending £80–150/ ha in herbicide cost and still getting black-grass?”

Strong tap root Along similar ‘Stand Practice’ lines, a late sown wheat was drilled after the plough in 2014, followed by Hyvido winter barley in 2015, winter OSR plus a companion plant (berseem clover) in 2016 and this year back to a first wheat (Lili drilled on the 28th October at 450 seeds/m2) following a catch crop of black oat and berseem clover.

“The berseem clover dies with the first frost but it has a strong tap root to push down through the soil and this helped the OSR to establish,” explained Mr Woodhead. “However the catch crop was more there to take up the moisture before the late drilled wheat as it can get difficult to drill wheat after the first week in October in this area.”

According to Mr Woodhead, half as much black-grass was found coming up through the first wheat compared with the other Standard Practice plot, both because of the competitive nature of the Hyvido barley and the late drilled wheat beforehand, he suggested.

“We need 98 per cent control to keep levels of black-grass static. With this system we’ve had a full herbicide programme and several cultural controls including ploughing and late drilling, and we’ve used glyphosate, but after four years we are in trouble again, returning more black-grass to the seedbank than we are removing.” continued over...

Cover crops and barley The importance of managing cover crops in tandem with spring barley in the rotation was also in evidence on the trials site. A late sown cover crop was grown in autumn 2014 ahead of a first wheat in 2015 which yielded well, pointed out Mr Woodhead.

For 2016 a cover crop preceded spring barley (KWS Irina at 450 seeds/ m2) which was drilled in late March.

“We drilled the high rate so as not to give any black-grass a chance although care has to be taken as too high a seed rate can result in the crop falling over.

“We want a competitive barley crop but stiffness and brackling resistance should be considered, and so variety choice is important.”

According to Mr Woodhead, the

cover crop was destroyed on the 6th December 2016 and sprayed again on the 16th March 2017, with a good result in terms of black-grass. But he said there was more in evidence than he’d have liked, and certainly more than in the successful “System 3” which featured spring wheat and cover crops.

“Part of the trouble was because the cover crop was drilled on the 25th August, volunteer barley swamped it so that black-grass which should have come up in the autumn couldn’t, and came up later in the crop.

“But we learn from our mistakes,” he added.

No herbicide Another plot was set up to mimic “System 3” (cover crop in the autumn followed by spring wheat) but this time with no residual herbicide and the addition of berseem clover with the spring wheat to help further suppress black-grass.

“This didn’t work,” said Mr Woodhead. “We’d let the black-grass in by not including the residual herbicide.

Rather than try and be clever by drilling a cover crop with the spring wheat, we would have done better to have focused on black-grass control from the start with herbicide.”

Another so-called ‘re-start’ plot highlighted that two direct drilled spring break crops, following cover crops, resulted in two years of reducing black-grass populations.

However, in the third year a cultivated crop of first wheat resulted in a “massive” return of black-grass.

“Despite using the plough as a re-start with this rotation, two years of cover and spring crops is not necessarily the answer even after the plough. If you are starting with a low level of black-grass then maybe two years of break crops and then a return to wheat is OK, but not if you are starting with high pressure,” advised Mr Woodhead.

“For this season we reverted to a cover crop followed by spring wheat but it was still unviable and we had to spray the crop off. In this instance we can’t plough as it is too soon after the last time and will bring viable black-grass seed to the surface, and so it will have to have perhaps two years of no crops to retrieve the situation.

“All that good work earlier in the rotation has been undone but it shows that farmers will have to be more reactive to the problems they face each season and be prepared to change what they are

doing,” added Mr Woodhead.

A real benefit “Cover crops are helping to change the soil moisture level and structure of heavy land ahead of drilling spring cereals, and they can bring a benefit to both crop yield and black-grass control,” summed up Mr Hemmant.

“It’s important that they don’t smother the ground, and that they remain open enough to allow blackgrass to germinate within them,” he reminded.

“However, we are showing here that although cover crops and spring break crops are working, it also demonstrates how quickly you can go from a good position to a bad one.

“When we are in a muddle it can take a big effort to get it back again!

“That said, two of the rotations we are operating here are growing profitable crops and because there has been a massive switch to spring cropping in the UK, we are trying to help those on similarly heavy land sites like this.

“The big gain too is for those who aren’t in a muddle yet. We hope we can show them something to learn from, and which offers a prompt for them to change,” he added.

Arable Talk with Richard Torr

Trials season showcases new variety contenders Wynnstay seed sales manager Richard Torr discusses new variety contenders for 2017/18.

It’s great to see the combines out and rolling, with many growers in the West already harvesting barley crops. Initial reports indicate that yields are certainly an improvement on what growers experienced in 2016 but perhaps behind those in 2015. It’s likely to be a year when soil type has the most significant impact on determining crop performance, but variety selection is still a crucial choice.

Trial plots We have now come to the end of trials season, and look forward to seeing the yield results from these when they’re published. It was always going to be a challenge this year to sift through the new variety contenders, with 11 new additions to the wheat Recommended List in 2017. It’s been interesting to see how some new varieties are now looking like real players in this year’s market, where they may not have been on many growers’ radar before visiting trials demonstrations.

KWS Zyatt was the only new quality milling wheat to be introduced this year, and was recommended as a good option for a potential high yielding first wheat.

It’s now also being considered as a strong candidate for a second wheat choice for growers. This may not originally have been what I would have recommended the variety for, but its yield is impressive and it has the added bonus of top eyespot resistance, which is a feature that growers always look out for. If you’re looking for a second wheat variety, it’s a strong choice.

Dunston has also moved up the ranking in many growers and agronomists’ views, and is being considered as a potential first and second wheat replacement for JB Diego. It’s an appealing variety that has caught the attention of many in the plots, thanks to its long, stiff straw and big ears. The variety has excellent septoria tritici resistance,

so is a very useful new introduction this year.

On the whole, the trial plots have looked good but there has been some lodging in areas and it has been difficult to predict which varieties have been hit. KWS Siskin and Shabras both still look very useful. However, the lodging issues in trial plots have highlighted that they require a good growth regulator programme on very fertile ground.

Graham has been commercially available for 12 months and remains universally liked. Many opted to grow the variety this year, and I have heard very few negative comments on its performance. Its consistency has reaffirmed its position as the leading first wheat in the West, where its early maturity remains a vital attribute.

New contenders One variety that has made an impact in trials is KWS Lili. It may not have been the most popular choice before this but it has looked very good in all plots and on-farm. This season has really suited it, and it has performed better in the dry conditions compared with any other variety. We expect it to do well at harvest and I think it has definitely moved up the league table in people’s thoughts, so should be a strong consideration for growers, particularly on lighter soils.

With harvest kicking off, this also indicates the end of crop inspecting season, and it’s been very pleasing to see that our Wynnstay seed growers have maintained the blackgrass-free status, with very few incidences being reported.

At the time of writing, an early harvest looks certain across the board. As well as easing the workload pressure on farm this also helps from a seed processing point of view, an early start to the season is beneficial as it allows us to extend the cereal seed processing season slightly.

Treated (left) and untreated Santiago plots at Woolpit, Suffolk.

Disease ratings a key factor in variety choice Pay careful attention to variety disease resistance ratings ahead of making final decisions on what to plant this autumn. That was a key message from wheat breeder Bill Angus at a recent Bayer Field Day held at Woolpit, Suffolk.

With growers planning variety options for next season he stressed that variety choice was the most important decision growers made.

“When you’ve put it in the ground you’ve got to live with it,” he said.

To illustrate his point he urged growers to visit untreated plots.

“There’s been little rain but there’s plenty of disease in the untreated plots. Septoria ‘bubbled up’ after some recent storms and after early yellow rust, brown rust has taken hold of some susceptible varieties. What growers need to ask themselves is the risk they could be carrying. Not all fields are square, impeding sprayer access and the weather can turn at a key time. You don’t need much to go wrong to lose that protective position.

In such situations there is nothing that can be done to recover the situation.

Good varietal resistance will give growers valuable protection.”

Varietal resistance Mr Angus also pointed out that looking to chemistry to both eradicate disease and protect against new infection is putting any active under immense pressure.

Most nabim groups offer alternatives to varieties which he considered “incredibly high risk”. “In my mind the most important trait is septoria resistance. We’ve got Skyfall, Crusoe and Siskin in the premium sector, Graham and Dunston for feed markets. The only exception is Group 3 where there isn’t the same choice. I don’t feel we should have anything on the AHDB list that doesn’t get a rating of at least 5 for septoria.”

Bayer site manager Ella Crawford

said there’s been more sunlight this year illustrating the role that fungicides play in maintaining green leaf area. “Although there has been less rain here we’ve had much more sunlight than last June.

Maintaining green leaf area is key for photosynthesis and ultimately yield.

It is why we stress the need to heed rates – to keep the top three leaves clean for as long as possible.”

And she told visitors another reason was a season like this. “This season many crops grew away quickly and leaf three emerged relatively early, it then turned cooler slowing crop development and lengthening the gap between T1 and T2. It is for this scenario that we advocate robust azole doses, alongside SDHI partners. Where spray intervals are stretched disease will re-establish with fungicides running out of steam – we saw it here where yellow rust and septoria made a comeback. In such situations you have little choice but to opt for a more curative SDHI product such as Ascra Xpro (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) at T2 to give you the kickback needed on leaf 2,” she said.

Plots that hadn’t had an effective disease control programme were riddled with disease. Septoria and yellow rust had significantly reduced green leaf area, and brown rust was adding to the pressure in susceptible varieties.

Ella said the trials were further proof of fungicide value. “These trials with our standard prothioconazolebased septoria programme have kept plots clean from stem to ear regardless of disease susceptibility.

Compared with some seasons, it may not have been the most intense in terms of pressure but there’s been enough disease to cause economic losses that far outweigh the cost of a robust fungicide programme.”

Impressive roll out for Group 3 variety in Herefordshire KWS Barrel looks to be a popular choice for growers in the West.

With 41 wheat varieties to choose from in this year’s AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds Recommended List, growers are spoilt for choice reckons AICC agronomist David Lines who works closely with a number of farmers across the West Midlands and Powys.

“With 11 new additions to the wheat RL, there have been plenty of new options to choose from,” says Mr Lines.

“Several of those who I work with grow seed for Wynnstay, so it’s been great to see which varieties are looking like real players in the field,” he adds.

“At the beginning of the season the grower, Wynnstay seed sales manager Richard Torr and I sit down and discuss which varieties Wynnstay would like grown for seed, taking into consideration which would best suit the ground the grower has available for

planting.

“The focus varieties this year for Richard included new entrants Shabras and Dunston, as well as KWS Siskin and KWS Barrel. Also, a strong Candidate for next year’s list and a high yielding variety RGT Gravity,” he says.

Once the variety is chosen, Mr Lines then takes an active role in producing a bespoke agronomy programme for all the crops he oversees, to ensure that the varieties reach their potential yield at harvest.

Attention to detail “When growing for seed, attention to detail is paramount to ensure that a clean seedbed is produced prior to drilling and is maintained throughout the growing season,” he continues.

“Although it has been a testing season due to the dry, hot weather over in the West, crops are looking well ahead of harvest.

“One in particular that comes to mind is a crop of KWS Barrel grown on the Herefordshire/Powys border. It was a variety that we thought would

perform, and it hasn’t disappointed.”

Mr Lines says that the Group 3 wheat variety was drilled on 24th September, on 22ha (55 acres) following peas.

“The crop has been treated with 0.6 litres/ha of pre-emergence herbicide Liberator (flufenacet + DFF), followed by Pacifica (iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron) which was applied to deal with a ryegrass problem on the field.

“A further application of Axial (pinoxaden) was needed to tidy up some remaining ryegrass and wild oats,” he adds.

It has also had a full fungicide programme comprising of straight chlorothalonil at T0; chlorothalonil + epoxiconazole + Vertisan (penthiopyrad) at T1; 1.25-litres/ha of Adexar (epoxiconazole + fluxapyroxad) + chlorothalonil at T2; and Proline (prothioconazole) at T3.

“The weather, although unsettled at times, did allow us to get fungicide sprays on at the right growth stage this year,” says Mr Lines.

Outlining the fertiliser programme, he says that the crop has had 190kg/ha of nitrogen.

“The grower regularly applies broiler

litter, so this means that there is little need for P and K fertiliser, and nitrogen applications tend to be on the low side allowing for the nitrogen from the muck.

“With the constant monitoring that I do with the grower, soil tests indicate that we have organic matter levels around 6–8 per cent,” he says.

“Some of the land has been in continuous wheat for 13 years and average yields are 9.9t/ha, but inclusion of OSR and pulses in the rotation to suit the Basic Payment Scheme, and an increasing grass weed problem, may alter yields in future years.

“So far, the crop looks good, and will hopefully perform well come harvest.”

Wynnstay seed sales manager, Richard Torr adds that KWS Barrel is predicted to dominate the Group 3 market.

“It provides growers with stiff straw and a very good yellow rust score, along with resistance to orange wheat blossom midge, though Septoria will need watching,” says Mr Torr.

“It also offers the highest yield in its sector at 103 per cent of control, so we expect to see good results in sheds come harvest.”

Putting the brakes on black-grass Black-grass is spreading out of its heartlands into the North and West but farmers in those regions can take heart from success stories – particularly when the response was quick and decisive.

Farmers Guide speaks to two farmers who are keeping blackgrass in check.

Leicestershire farmer Chris Tolley.

Chris Tolley grows winter cereals, oilseed rape and spring barley on a heavy land farm in Leicestershire that is susceptible to black-grass. “There has always been black-grass on the farm so attention to detail is essential for dealing with it,” he points out.

He starts by drawing up maps

R A D I O Call us NOW 01604 402403

C B

of weed patches before harvest – these maps are the basis for all further planning of cultural and chemical controls. As importantly, Chris constantly checks results of the control throughout the season so he is better able to understand what went well and what didn’t.

“Black-grass is variable across fields, often linked to soil texture. We can target a stronger pre-emergence herbicide programme on particular parts of the field. We may also come back and overspray the worst areas depending on how they are oriented in relation to the tramline.

This obviously takes more time and planning but helps keep costs in check and ensures we’re not using more pesticides than necessary.”

ENCE NO LIC ED R REQUI

Mr Tolley starts by drawing up maps of weed patches before harvest and these are the basis for all further planning of cultural and chemical controls.

Delayed drilling Mr Tolley uses delayed drilling to keep control of black-grass in winter wheat but cautions against simply trying to drill as late as possible.

“Crop competition and establishment cannot be underestimated. We aim to produce a good seedbed that is rolled to boost pre-em efficacy.

If drilling is delayed too long, the opportunity for an autumn post-em becomes limited.

“The foundation to any herbicide black-grass programme is a product containing flufenacet such as Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican). If black-grass populations are low and other cultural control methods are practised, then this alone may suffice.

Once there is an increasing level of black-grass in the field then stacking with other residual herbicides is probably needed.”

Due to the challenge on his farm, Mr Tolley follows up with Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) in autumn when plants are still small and actively growing. He has monitored closely and is confident it is still delivering control in the right conditions, and has the sprayer ready to go seven days a week to take advantage of any opportunity to spray.

Farm manager Matthew Copley oversees 880ha (2,170 acres) of combinable crops at two sites in West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.

There is some black-grass at both sites and having seen the problems black-grass can cause further south, he uses robust cultural and chemical control methods.

Rotation and cultivation are a vital part of Mr Copley’s approach.

Typically, he ploughs prior to

winter barley to bury seed and start with clean land. In his opinion, it is difficult to deal with a large population of black-grass in barley because of the early sowing date and the lack of chemical options.

He then aims for shallow cultivation in the rest of the rotation – usually two wheats and oilseed rape ideally cultivating to 3in to produce a good tilth for the crop but not moving black-grass seed around the soil profile.

Rotational ploughing isn’t the complete answer though, so in some particularly troublesome areas he is moving to spring barley.

“Winter barley wasn’t too bad last time but there was some black-grass afterwards,” he notes.

In wheat, as well as preemergence sprays he uses Atlantis post-emergence.

“I think Atlantis is like a cat with nine lives; you can only use it so many times, so we only spray when it’s essential to. To back this up, if we use Atlantis any survivors are rogued or get glyphosate as this should reduce resistance build-up. Even with 90 per cent control there will be survivors that shouldn’t be allowed to shed seed.”

Second wheats are also a highrisk crop for black-grass so they are all late drilled. He focuses the late drilling effort on second wheats so he is flexible enough to respond to conditions to drill crops at the right time. Treating drilling then the pre-em spray as one operation is essential. “If you can’t spray don’t drill; conditions need to be right for spraying and for herbicides. That’s the problem with pre-ems – too wet and they can wash away, too dry and they are not effective. Last autumn, things were just right.”

Green updates for 2018 announced at German event Claas announced updates to its Axion 900-series tractors and green harvest products at an exclusive press event in northern Germany.

A new assurance scheme for second-hand Claas tractors was also promoted. But the biggest news concerned the most popular Arion 500 and 600 tractor series. David Williams reports.

p Claas announced updates to the Arion and Axion tractor ranges at a German press event. t Arion 500 and 600 tractors are updated to meet Tier 4 final emissions regulations.

All models gain power and there is a new flagship 660 with up to 205hp available.

Arion Arion 500 and 600-series tractors are Claas’ mid-sized offering with features to suit typical UK mixed and smaller arable farms, and the current 600-series accounts for just over half the brand’s tractor sales.

The competitive market sector includes stiff competition and the new 7-model Claas line-up includes a wider range of power outputs for greater versatility. There are additional features for improved efficiency, fuel economy and driver comfort and Claas tractor product manager Alastair McCallum commented that almost every improvement or feature requested by UK dealer sales teams has been included and that current and potential Claas users are already keen to try the latest specification.

Power is from DPS PowerTech engines as before, but now meeting Tier 4 final emissions regulations using SCR (Adblue) in combination with a diesel particulate filter, but no EGR. The 500-series, with 4-cyl, 4.5-litre engines offers maximum outputs from 125hp (rated), increasing in 20hp steps through the range to 165hp, while 6-cyl 600-series models have outputs from 145–185hp. Four models cover the 145–165hp power band, allowing a choice of 4- or 6-cylinders with short or longer wheelbases to suit the application and customer preference. These include the Arion 530 and 610, both with 145hp and the Arion 550 and 630, both with 165hp.

Maximum power output for all models is 10hp more than the rated figure, but the new flagship Arion 660 also has Claas Power Management for PTO and transport applications providing up to 205hp and closing the gap between the Arion and Axion 800-series.

Power delivery is improved over

previous models. Torque availability from low engine revs is provided by twin turbochargers with wastegates on 500 models and a variable geometry turbocharger on 600 machines.

Fuel savings on 6-cylinder models are promised through a 650rpm idling speed when the tractor is stationary, reduced from 800rpm previously.

Transmission options are as before; Hexashift Powershift or CMatic CVT but the new Arion 660 comes only in CVT form with a brand new EQ22 drive unit developed specially to handle the power. Improved efficiency over the smaller CVT units saves fuel use by up to three per cent.

Transmission design improvements include more progressive speed control through the foot pedal and better response, particularly at low speeds. Drive train braking is also improved for better handling of heavy trailers downhill.

New intermediate spec Until now the Arion was available in only CIS and CEBIS specifications, but a new option; CIS+ has been added. CIS is the entry-level with mechanical hydraulic valves and a simple display while Cebis includes a large colour touch-screen, a CMotion multi-function joystick and electronic operation and adjustment of most functions. Hexashift transmission was available on either version but CMatic CVT could only be specified for Cebis models. The new intermediate specification CIS+ has electronic hydraulics, a colour 7in A-pillar display and shares the CIS model’s simple Drivestick control lever but is also available with CVT transmission.

Operation of tractor functions such as loader hydraulics is made easy through the new ElectroPilot 4-way control lever, which also includes electronic transmission shuttling.

The CIS+ specification includes

A new intermediate CIS+ specification joins CIS and Cebis versions offering CVT transmission without the premium hydraulic set up of the Cebis.

CIS+ specification includes proportional speed control through the Drivestick (left) and electronic direction shuttle through the ElectroPilot stick (right) also used to control the front loader or other implements.

more advanced functions than the CIS version, including headland management with up to four sequences and control of up to six spools.

Isobus interfaces and programmable function buttons are also included. Claas telematics and GPS steering are available.

“Some customers don’t require the high level hydraulic offering and set-up options but would like the flexibility of CVT transmission,” explained Alastair. “The CIS+ equipment level will suit many UK users, as an ideal and cost-effective solution. It isn’t just CMatic customers who will appreciate it. Current Hexashift transmission buyers are often looking for the additional comfort of electric spools with timers, but wouldn’t justify or make the most of a Cebis machine.”

The higher Cebis specification is also improved on the new models, including a 12in touch screen with direct access to settings through the screen as well as by using the CMotion joystick. continued over...

User-friendly display The settings home screen includes a tractor silhouette with icons for the main functions and the operator has only to touch the appropriate icon to enter the settings menu for that system area.

Cebis Extra

The Cebis version gains a new 12in touchscreen with simple menu access.

A new Cebis Extra package is exclusive to the UK and available on Arion 600 and all Axion tractors. It includes leather driver and passenger seats, climate control, front linkage and LED lights on both Hexashift and CMatic versions.

Transmissions improved The Hexashift 6-speed unit hasn’t changed, but new functions include automatic maintenance of a selected forward speed through the cruise control while optimising engine speed independent of the transmission ratio. This is claimed to increase fuel efficiency.

A new Smart Stop function removes the need to use the clutch pedal by disengaging drive when the brake pedal is pressed. The main advantage is for operations such as loader work and baling.

Cmatic transmission has gained new software improving engine and transmission coordination.

Improvements include the ability to deactivate cruise control by using the accelerator pedal and optimised performance response during heavy work using two selectable engine ‘droop’ settings; ‘economy’ and ‘power’ through a control panel-mounted switch.

An all-new Claas designed front axle is an option on the new Arion. Reduced maintenance is an advantage with four grease nipples replacing 24 on the previous version.

of comfort with massively reduced maintenance requirement with just four grease points, offering reduced downtime and increased durability,” explained Alastair.

The new Proactiv front suspension is an option on 40kph CIS and CIS+ tractors and standard on other models. Two double-acting hydraulic cylinders with wide spaced axle fixings improve stability at higher speeds

on the road. Intelligent suspension control offers the user three settings; off - with the suspension locked rigid, 0-5kph; selected by button-press and auto, in which between 0–1kph the suspension locks in its current position and between 1–50kph it provides fully automatic ride control.

Alastair suggested that for loader work the automatic mode will be a big benefit, providing comfort at higher road speeds with reduced pitching during braking and acceleration, but removing any reaction to load changes when a loader bucket is tipped, for example.

Suspension travel is 100mm and the axle has a higher load rating than before at 5.2t.

Also new on the latest Arion 500 and 600 models is Dynamic steering.

This allows the user to adjust the number of turns lock to lock to suit the task. Two automatic programmes, each with two levels can be selected as well as four manual settings.

For UK users operating hedge and verge mowers a new 4-post cab option identical to that available for the larger Axion models will be an attraction, offering an unobstructed view to the left side.

Hydraulic performance is improved on the new tractors with 150-litres maximum flow available as an upgrade from the standard 110 litres/min.

Increasing performance and grip for arable applications, 630 models and above can all be specified with larger 42in rear wheel rims and tyres up to 1.95m diameter.

Flagship Axion upgrades The Axion 900-series has proved a great success since its introduction in 2011 with the range including Claas’ first conventional tractor over 300hp.

The latest versions include Tier 4 final emissions control, improved driver comfort and more power with the range topping out with a new flagship at 445hp. continued over...

A new Axion flagship has been announced. The 960 has up to 445hp and up to 70 per cent of maximum torque is available at idle. This means significant fuel savings.

Operator comfort Brand new Claas-developed front axle suspension improves ride quality, but reduces maintenance requirement.

“Our tractors have always impressed with their ride quality and effective suspension. This new suspension system continues to give superb levels

p The new Arions can also have improved external front lift controls. u Rear lift capacity on the latest Arion 600 is up to 1t higher than previous models. Tyres up to 1.95m can be fitted at the rear.

...from previous page

The new 900-series retains the same FPT 6cyl, 8.7-litre engine and relies totally on SCR to meet emissions regulations without a DPF or any EGR. The series includes models from 325–445hp with all models gaining 5hp over those they replace. Full power is always available and torque delivery is excellent across the rev range, especially at lower speeds, partly due to a variable geometry turbocharger. This means 70 per cent of maximum torque is available even when idling and the latest engines offer 18 per cent more torque at 200rpm less than before, resulting in significant fuel savings. Reduced idling speed of 650rpm compared to 800rpm previously is claimed to save an additional 2-litres/hour. An Eco PTO mode provides 95 per cent of maximum engine output at the shaft allowing demanding implements to be operated at lower engine speeds.

“The new Tier 4 final 325hp 920 will have torque levels just 50Nm less than the outgoing 410hp 950. Performance levels of this next generation 900 will make an already very impressive tractor an even greater force to be reckoned with,” stressed Alastair.

An updated CVT transmission is fitted. Like the new Arion 500 and 600 series, cruise control can be deactivated using the accelerator pedal and two selectable droop modes; ‘power’ or ‘economy’ can be selected.

The latest Cebis 12in screen is standard with direct access to settings through the tractor silhouette on the display.

Telematics is standard and GPSsteering is a factory-fit option.

Hydraulic performance includes load-sensing with 150- or 220 litres/min and up to 8 spools, controlled using the ElectroPilot joystick. The CMotion joystick can also be used for control by configuring the function buttons.

Any spool can be prioritised for oil flow allowing a constant rate regardless

of demand elsewhere. This is especially useful for implements such as air drills to maintain constant fan speed. Also programmable is the rate at which programmed flow quantity is achieved or stopped, reducing shock loads and wear on components in the hydraulic circuit.

New LED lighting packages for the 900-series include up to 20 road and field lights, including daytime running lights.

There is a new toolbox drawer under the cab steps, plus an electrical power outlet and an air hose connection.

Axion 800 update The Axion 800 series remains as before although a new package of CIS+ will be available combining an A-pillar 7-inch colour display, electronic spool valves and Drivestick, suitable for those looking for a tractor between the specifications of the mechanical spool CIS and top-specification Cebis Touch.

Like the Arion range, this CIS+ package will be available on both Hexashift and CMatic transmission variants.

Added reassurance The company has introduced the First Claas Used approved scheme for used

p uNew Corto drum mowers were announced at the event, with features borrowed from the Disco disc mower line-up. The Corto 3200F front mower (top) and 3200 Contour rear (above) both gain improved ground contour following and easier adjustment. The smallest 1.85m Corto 190 rear drum mower (right) gains folding protective covers, mechanical breakback protection and a parking stand.

Claas tractors purchased from a main dealer. The scheme is being rolled out by the company Europe-wide and, in the UK, Gold certified machines will be no more than five years old and comprehensively checked against a standardised checklist, similar to the proven Claas post-harvest checks used for combines and forage harvesters.

Claas believes the scheme will benefit customers through added reassurance that the tractors offered for sale will be supplied fit and ready for work.

Claas has announced an approved used tractor scheme. For the UK a Gold standard will be offered for tractors up to five years old, when purchased from a Claas main dealer.

The Volto tedder range gains a new 4-rotor model. The Volto 55 has a working width of 5.2m.

...from previous page

The swath discs are easily adjusted on the new mower making it easier to set swath width and a second set of discs can be added for extra narrow swaths. The mower has improved swath flow through the mower for higher work rates.

Active Float is a new option for both Corto 310F and 3200F models, allowing the operator to alter the ground pressure by transferring weight between the tractor and mower on the move. As well as improving swath quality and ground contour following this makes higher cutting speeds possible and saves fuel.

Replacing the current Corto 310 rear mower is the Corto 3200 Contour, which has two large and two smaller drums providing a 3.05m working width.

The mower is mounted at its centre of gravity which, with Active Float suspension, guarantees efficient contour following.

Collision protection is by breakback through an angled pivot point which lifts the mower up and clear of the ground when activated. A belt drive cushions the drive system against shock loading through the large diameter drums.

For transport the drum mower folds to 120 degrees for stability and to reduce affect on visibility.

Hydraulic locking for transport is an option with a cable-operated lock standard.

The smaller Corto 190 rear mower is also updated and new features include folding protective covers on both sides, mechanical break-back protection and a parking stand.

Spring suspension is an option and hydraulic headland lift for extra clearance is also available.

Swather news A new single-rotor swather was shown at the event. The Liner 320 has a 3.2m working width and its lightweight design makes it ideal for smaller tractors.

Features shared with larger models include a sealed and continuously lubricated cam track. Rotors have eight tine arms with three 9mm diameter spring tines. A lockable hand crank adjusts the height. A single axle is

standard and twin axles are an option.

Contour following even on hilly terrain is guaranteed by a U-shaped stabiliser frame incorporating the 3-point linkage mounts.

Tedder range extended A new 4-rotor tedder has been added to the Volto line-up. The Volto 55 replaces the Volto 52 but gains features previously available only on larger models. It has a 5.2m working width making it ideal for use with Disco 2.1 or 3.0m mowers.

Max Spread crop flow uses 29-degree angle tines for a long sweeping action and once collected the crop travels in a straight line between

the rotors preventing damage and ensuring an even lump-free spread pattern for fast and even drying. The spreading arm action works for 65 per cent longer than standard straight tines allowing higher work rates and faster forward speed while reduced engine speeds save fuel.

The headstock is the Claas CLK version which transfers weight to the tractor’s linkage. It also ensures accurate following during turns. When lifted the spreader is automatically centralised and fixed in position for transport.

Drive is through a PermaLink finger clutch at the pivot points allowing the arms to be folded by up to 180 degrees for a compact transport width. The four rotors are fitted with 10.5mm diameter tines and the spread angle is adjustable 12–16 degrees. Hydraulic folding and automatic locking make folding for transport quick and easy.

Results justify continuing investment in tracks

Cambridgeshire Farms Growers Ltd was an early adopter of rubber tracks for machinery used on 4,500ha it farms in Cambridgeshire.

Investment has continued as technology has improved and David Williams visited the farm to find out why tracks continue to replace wheels whenever possible.

The farm operation includes 3 main sites and 8 growing areas, up to 25 miles apart, with highly productive soils ranging from black sand to fen, and heavier skirt fen with silt and clay including at least 10 per cent organic matter. The rotation includes 1,000ha of combinable cereals, 1,000ha of maize grown for an AD plant, 400ha of potatoes, 600ha of onions and more than 1,500ha of salads produced and marketed through G’s Growers of which the farm is a member. Salad crops include 600ha of bulb onions, 1,150ha of Little Gem and Iceberg lettuce and 350ha celery and there are also 400ha potatoes. Part of the production is organic including lettuces, celery, bulb onions and beetroot.

Early adopters The farm’s first rubber-tracked tractor was bought over 20 years ago when the farm imported a John Deere twintrack crawler. The tracks’ performance encouraged the company to look at options for other tractors and a

set of Soucy tracks was purchased from the importer at that time, a local dealer, for a Case IH MX170 tractor. “We were trying to plough-in sugar beet crops in wet November conditions using a 7f reversible plough on a twin-track crawler,” explained leafy salads manager Rob Parker. “It couldn’t achieve sufficient traction but a demonstration Case IH tractor with Soucy track units had no problem at all, and we placed an order.”

The fen land is ‘bottom-less’ and Rob said it takes only a small amount of wheel-slip before problems occur and machinery becomes bogged down. The farm tries hard to prevent compaction although wet soils more commonly result from water build-up over the clay layer below, so rotational sub-soiling is used to ensure free drainage. “We irrigate extensively but need soils clean and dry for field operations. Tracks and sub-soiling are key to this while cover crops increasingly play their part,” he said.

Much of the land is ploughed in front of salads, but in-furrow ploughing is avoided because of potentially deeper compaction. A Case IH Quadtrac operates with a Lemken 12f reversible and two Lemken 7f reversibles are used behind Case IH Pumas, both on Soucy tracks.

“The track frame geometry means the rearmost ground contact point is further back than on wheels,” explained Rob. “This means heavy ploughs are easily lifted without any front ballast which helps keep Rob Parker says without his Soucy rubber tracks he would need bigger tractors, smaller planters, more labour and larger spacing between edge plants and the wheelings resulting in lower yields.

The planter’s flotation wheels leave a deeper track than the narrow 12in Soucy tractor tracks. Swapping the wheels to tracks would allow salad to be planted closer to the wheeling allowing increased plant population and yields.

tractor weights down and allows smaller tractors to be used than would otherwise be needed. On wheels we would need at least 300hp but the 215hp Pumas easily pull and lift the ploughs.”

The farm operates five sets of tracks; two wide and three narrow.

Three tractors were ordered without wheels as tracks are fitted all year while the other two tractors are swapped onto wheels for part of the season, an operation taking just a day each to fit and remove. Four sets are Soucy and one is a competitor make although Rob said the latest Soucy units offer significant advantages. “We used to operate two sets of another brand – one narrow and one wide, but they were difficult to fit and remove and couldn’t be easily swapped between tractors without needing bespoke components. Soucy tracks have proved well made and reliable from the start, but an advantage of the latest version is that it can be swapped between different tractor brands and models relatively quickly. Only the mounts and drive sprockets need changing.

“Another advantage of Soucy is the service from importer Brocks Wheel & Tyre (BWT) and Soucy itself.

We ordered a new John Deere tractor this year and as soon as our main dealer Doubleday gave us the chassis number, which we passed on to Brocks and Soucy, the tracks arrived ready to fit with no problems. We also found Soucy’s service very good previously,

when we bought a new Case IH Puma 230 and needed to transfer a 6–7 year old set of Soucy tracks from the outgoing Puma 210. We provided the serial number and received accurate advice regarding fitting,” explained Rob. Soucy is just as quick to provide useful advice even if it prevents a sale, added Rob. Last autumn when a set of 12in tracks was considered for a Puma 230, Soucy advised that potential loadings could be too high for the narrow assembly. “That sort of advice is valuable to us. We don’t want problems and downtime and although it meant they didn’t take a possible order, they preferred to be cautious for which I respect them even more.”

Tracks outlast tractors Tractors are replaced after 5 years when they have worked 8,000– 10,000hrs but the track sets are kept for the new tractors. The older track assemblies have worked approximately 8,000hrs, explained Rob although new rubber belts are required every 3,500hrs for the wider sets and after 4,000–5,000hrs for narrower row crop versions.

“Narrow tracks become hard and brittle eventually whereas wider tracks fail at the pulling points,” he explained.

“New rubber is softer and as the belts become older and start failing the ride becomes rougher. We treat wider tracked machines the same as tyred continued over...

The latest Soucy S-Tech tracks are easily fitted and removed allowing tractors to be swapped onto wheels and back again in a day. If new tractors are purchased then the track frame is retained and only a few components require changing. ...from previous page

tractors on the road, but those with narrower tracks are usually moved by low loader. We rely heavily on the narrow tracks for specific tasks and do all we can to prevent failures.

Although they have proved faultless so far we are keen not to tempt fate,” he added.

Each tractor has a main operator and Rob said the tracks are popular, but users are aware of compromises that have to be made for roadwork.

“The ride is better than a twin-track crawler as they don’t tend to ‘nod’.

Vibration levels are similar and overall drivers prefer them.”

There is little additional maintenance beyond keeping an eye on the idler rollers. No issues have been experienced with tractor reliability although tractors on wider sets have kingpins replaced annually.

“Experienced operators achieve headland turns just as quick as for wheeled tractors,” said Rob, “but overall work rates are higher with very low wheel-slip.

“We have to remember that tracks haven’t been purchased to increase tractor performance, which they are more than capable of doing,” he said. “Our objectives are to extend our growing season by operating earlier in the spring and later in the autumn and achieving better growing conditions than would be possible on tyres.”

Although no reliability issues have been experienced a concern is

On the wet ‘bottom-less’ fen soils a wheeled tractor would sink and operating the 7f plough on-land would be impossible said Rob. Ploughing on-land using tracks means shallow compaction is easily ploughed out during the operation.

invalidating the tractor manufacturer’s warranty. “Tracks gear down the transmission by 20 per cent,” he explained, “so we always bear in mind the additional torque available.

Having never experienced a problem due to tracks we believe our use is reasonable, but it would be reassuring to have the manufacturer’s approval for our use just for peace of mind.”

The wide sets comprise 32in rear tracks with 25in fronts and narrow sets are 12in front and rear. Operations on wider tracks include ploughing before vegetables, drilling cereal and cover crops and power harrowing while narrow sets are used mainly for salad planting and hoeing.

Tyres are limiting factor Two salad planters work six days per week between February and August; a 6m and an 8m, both bespoke designs for the farm. They are carried between the rear linkage and a pair of flotation tyres at the rear, running at 80in track widths the same as the tractor’s narrow rubber tracks. “The planters take a lot of pulling and lifting,” said Rob, “and if the tractor was on tyres it would sink immediately but on tracks there is no problem despite it being relatively light. The large contact area means there is only a very shallow rut created by the tracks, whereas the planter’s tyres sink in considerably more.”

A future project is replacing the planter tyres with tracks as valuable growing space is lost due to wheel indentations. A gap is left between plants at the edge of the bed and the wheeling partly because a tyre’s sidewall is wider than its tread, which becomes an issue as it sinks creating a wider rut. With rubber tracks, width remains constant and reducing wheeling depth would allow planting closer to the tramline, potentially increasing the number of plant rows possible. “We plant 200,000 lettuces per hectare so an increase of just one per cent would be equivalent to 1.4 million extra overall, or 6ha of extra land. It’s something we are keen to achieve and certainly worth investment,” stressed Rob. Tracks also help the farm optimise

product quality, important for supply to major supermarkets. Rob explained that whereas tyres operating in wet conditions fill a wheeling, squeezing out water and loose soil which ends up as mud on leaves, tracks run flat and any water in the rows can run around and over the bands reducing dirt splashes on the plants.

RTK is used for all field operations and Trimble steering systems cope easily with the tracks although settings have to be changed from wheels due to slower response times when changing direction.

Tracks essential

Soucy franchise BWT is a long-established supplier of agricultural wheels and tyres and became the Soucy importer early in 2017. “We also represent Soucy in countries where there is no current official importer,” explained Percy Brock, who was at the farm. “We have looked at other makes of track system over the years and still offer an alternative where Soucy has gaps in its range,” he explained. “Soucy offers very good back-up which was an attraction for us from the start. We have committed to a large parts stock and since taking on the agency have been busy with enquiries and orders.

“Tracks to fit UTVs such as the

Quality lots and weather combine for great sale result Good attendance at a Cambridgeshire dispersal sale organised by Brown & Co Alexanders resulted in high prices for the vendor.

A well-attended dispersal sale arranged on behalf of a Cambridgeshire farming family by Brown & Co Alexanders achieved some superb prices for the vendors. David Williams reports.

The sale was on behalf of FI Bliss Ltd at Ermine Lodge Farm, Stilton near Peterborough. The Bliss family had ceased its 323ha (800 acre) arable tenancy, having previously given up 161ha (400 acres) to the Great Fen project, which aims to create a large wetland area.

“Brown & Co Alexanders has enjoyed dealing with Greg Bliss for more than 30 years, so we were delighted to be asked to look after the dispersal of the farm equipment, especially as it was on his 55th birthday,” commented partner and auctioneer Chris Purllant who sold the lots with associate partner and fellow auctioneer Michael Alexander.

“It was very successful. The lots on offer were attractive to farmers and the trade and the weather helped with rain during preceding days which made it tricky for parking, but a dry sale day meant buyers were happy to remain on site creating competition for the more attractive lots.

“Everything sold strongly and a highlight was the Dale Drill which made £47,000. Everyone knew there was good equipment on offer and the prices reflected it.”

At the sale donations were invited for the Air Ambulance as well as Riding for the Disabled and approximately £300 was raised for

Star of the event was this 2013 Dale Eco-Drill. It was a 7m model with a 3t seed and fertiliser hopper in excellent condition. The winning bidder was a farmer from Suffolk who paid £47,000.

A newer Massey Ferguson 7624, also with Dyna-6 40kph transmission and 4wd on a 12-plate had 650/65R42 rear and 540/65R30 front tyres, front linkage and cab and chassis suspension. It had worked 3,020hrs and sold for £43,500.

The Massey Ferguson Cerea 7278 combine harvester with 25ft Powerflow header, auto-level and a rotary chaff spreader came with a header trolley and had worked 1,771 engine, and 1,441 drum hours. On an 07-plate it was in very good order and sold for £43,000. Its new home is a farm in Angus, Scotland.

The main tractors and combine were in good condition and attracted lively bidding. t This 2007 Massey Ferguson 6480 4wd tractor with Dyna-6, 40kph transmission, front linkage and cab and chassis suspension was on 20.8R38 rear and 420/85R28 front tyres. On an 07-plate it had worked 7,800hrs and achieved a winning bid of £23,500 from a Warwickshire farmer. u Sundries and workshop equipment displayed undercover were popular with buyers.

Drill range impresses with its flexibility

A series of working demonstrations organised by Claas Eastern dealers gave current and potential customers an opportunity to see a wide selection of drills at work. David Williams attended a mid-July event near Beverley in east Yorkshire arranged by the Catfoss depot.

“In an ideal year with ideal drilling conditions it is easy to see the benefit of a large air drill,” explained Lemken franchise manager Richard Sharman. “But few years are like that.

Weather windows offering perfect conditions are scarce and what suits one area of the farm might not be ideal elsewhere if soil types vary. Our Lemken range includes large-scale drills, but we also have multiple establishment options centred around one drill unit, offering a cost-effective solution whatever the weather and soil types for farms of all sizes.

Claas Eastern, has seven branches looking after Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire and took on the Lemken range two and a half years ago which Richard said has proved a great success. “It complements our Claas range with machines to suit the largest farms and contractors as well as traditional family and mixed farms,” he said.

“Everything has proved popular from the superb ploughs to cultivators and drills and sprayer sales are increasing too with many enquiries through recommendation by current users.”

The series of five demonstration days started at Barnsley, South Yorkshire, followed by Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire then Brandsburton and West Ashby in the Lincolnshire Wolds, finishing near Sleaford, Lincs. “This sort of local event has proved popular with farmers wherever we have arranged them,” said Lemken UK general manager Paul Creasy. “A convenient location means that even if the farm is busy with its own activities it’s possible to take time out to visit the demonstration and find out about the latest products. These Claas

Eastern demonstration days have been well attended and feedback regarding the opportunity to view the products working is positive.”

Farmers Guide attended an event at Brandesburton, near Beverley.

Medium, well-drained soils meant persistent drizzle throughout the day failed to stop the cultivations although the surface became slippery.

Tractors & implements On display was a Vega 12, 5,000-litre, 24m trailed sprayer, and Diamant semi-mounted 8f and Juwel 7 fully mounted 4f ploughs. Drills included a Compact Solitair 9, two Solitair 9s; one on a Zirkon power harrow and and one on a Heliodor 9 disc harrow.

Tractors available to test-drive included Arion 600- and Axion 800-series models and product specialists from Claas and Lemken were on-hand explaining features and benefits.

Versatile drills Solitair 9 pneumatic drills are available in rigid and folding mounted, and folding semi-mounted versions in 3–6m working widths.

Despite persistent drizzle throughout the day which made conditions greasy, the Compact Solitair continued working without any problems.

A big advantage of their design promoted by Claas Eastern representatives is the ability to easily and quickly swap the drill unit onto different types of cultivator, or even use it on its own where cultivation at the time of drilling isn’t required.

This means significant time and fuel savings are possible when conditions allow and it also allows reduced soil movement to minimise black-grass establishment. It also means that rather than being forced to invest in two or more drills to suit variable weather and conditions only one drill is needed, with interchangeable cultivation elements. Another advantage is that with the drill removed, the power harrow and discs can be used independently reducing cultivation machinery required.

Semi-mounted, the Solitair 9 can be used with the Zirkon power harrow, Kristall compact cultivator and Heliodor and Rubin compact disc harrows as well as with the System-Kompaktor seedbed combination. Semi-mounting reduces rear axle load compared to mounted combinations allowing reduced tyre pressures and use on

smaller tractors.

Mounted, the Solitair 9 can be combined with the Zirkon power harrow and Heliodor compact disc harrows.

Solo drill operation For solo work, the drill is mounted on a wheel carriage and then direct mounted to the tractor’s 3-point linkage or it can be trailed with an optional wheel kit fitted.

Seeds are placed through doubledisc coulters; capable of planting into mulch or prepared seedbeds and depth control wheels on each coulter ensure seed depth is constant for continued over...

The Solitair 9 drill can be used fully mounted solo, when conditions allow.

The Solitair 9’s flexibility proved attractive to visitors. It is pictured semi-mounted behind Heliodor disc harrows; just one of the many working options.

even emergence.

“Demonstrating the Solitair working with the various cultivation elements allows potential users to see what a simple but effective drilling concept it is,” said Richard. “Although the model we demonstrated was the Solitair 9, we are already promoting its replacement; the Solitair 25 which will be available in time for spring drilling and which has many advantages for users including larger hopper options and improved tramline and part-width shut-off, but the operating principles remain the same.”

The Compact Solitair, also working at the event, has a larger

seed hopper and is available in combination with the Zirkon power harrow or Heliodor compact disc harrow. It is equipped with the OptiDisc double-disc coulters offering full adjustment from the cab and coulter pressure up to 70kg.

Successful events “Live demonstration days are always a risk, especially in spring and summer due to day to day farm workloads and unseasonal weather,” explained Richard. “However the gamble to take the Claas tractors and Lemken product range into the field in early July looks, after three events, to have been a good decision. From 9am until midafternoon we were all busy and

either driving, or giving detailed tours of, the machines.

From sprayers to ploughs, cultivators and drills from Lemken and from the most basic Claas CIS to the highest specification CMatic Axion tractors the interest was across the range. Who would have believed 13 years ago we would have such a strong cultivation, crop protection, seeding and tractor business! Let alone the constant comments from drivers about Claas tractors’ comfort and drivability. ‘A real drivers tractor’ was a frequent comment. On reflection most attendees were drivers or owner drivers with a real interest in the machines’ flexibility and tractor driving experience,” he added.

William Thompson farms at Wold Newton in East Yorkshire.

Trading as WH & J Thompson & Son the cropping includes wheat, malting barley, beans and oilseed rape. Three brands of tractor are operated and William commented that he purchased his first Claas tractor four years ago and enjoys ‘brilliant service’ from Claas Eastern and sales manager Bob McTurk. “I farm with my son Carl and we get on really well with the Claas tractor,” he said.

“It’s an Arion 640 with Hexashift powershift transmission and it’s very fuel efficient. When we next change a tractor it will certainly be another Claas, but this time we will probably opt for CMatic CVT transmission as it offers many advantages including greater ease of use.”

The Thompson family purchased its first Lemken implement late in 2016 and is delighted with the Juwel 8 5f plough. “We are on some challenging Wold soils and have always ploughed. We used solid mouldboards previously on another brand of plough but found the soil stuck frequently so opted for slatted mouldboards this time. We had a demonstration which convinced us of the quality and performance so we placed an order. High demand meant it took a while for our plough to arrive so we carried on using the demonstrator. It’s everything we wanted and we can’t fault it. Adjustments are easily made and changing metalwork is straightforward, although we haven’t needed to replace any wearing parts yet. It wasn’t the cheapest option but looking back now we consider it well worth the extra. It performs well on all our land, and on variable terrain so even on a steep side slope it seems to maintain a straight line with no problem and no need to make adjustment to compensate.

“This was our first machine from Lemken but for anything else we need in future we will definitely consider the brand again,” he added.

Jono Dixon is pictured (left) at the event with Lincolnshire-based Claas Eastern sales representative Will Cartmell. Jono farms at Sunk Island, East Yorkshire growing combinable crops and vining peas and is also the founder member of online discussion group #clubhectare.

Claas tractors operated by the farm include an Axion 850 and an Arion 650 and the combine is a Claas 570. The Claas Eastern Catfoss depot supplies and looks after the tractors and combine.

“Our first Claas combine was a Matador in the early 1960s,” explained Jono. “Then we bought a Dominator 80 and moved away from the brand for several years after that before buying the Lexion 570 which has served us well for the past 8–9 years. We returned to the brand because the dealer back-up improved in the area and the local sales representative was keen for us to buy a Claas. It’s proved a good product and we are well looked after by the dealer staff. It’s just had its annual service and needed a pair of new rotor bearings, but that is the first major repair for three years so we can’t complain.

We like having the annual check as it helps protect us against downtime in harvest which could be very expensive.”

The Arion 650 is on a 14-plate and was bought as an ex-demonstrator and the Axion 850 is on an 11-plate.

“We bought the Arion on the back of a demonstration by the dealer.

It’s unbelievably comfortable and has just enough weight to make the most of the 180hp in the field. The front suspension is superb; I have tried other brands but I think the ride quality is the best of any tractor of its size.

“The Axion is used for much of the ploughing and works well with 7–8f both on land and in-furrow. Both tractors are Cebis specification

Jono commented that he gets on very well with the Lemken ploughs having moved to the brand when he purchased a used semi-mounted 8f model from a Lincolnshire farmer. This was later traded in for a fullymounted Europal 7f. “It does a great job and we can’t criticise the build quality,” he said. “Being fully-mounted it can be easily swapped between our wheeled and tracked tractors as needed. Claas and Lemken together make a good partnership and we were reassured when we heard the dealer had taken on the Lemken franchise for our area, as having access to multiple brands from one sales and service team makes it easier for us.”

...More on previous page AJ Stephenson & Sons farms at Holderness in East Yorkshire. Approximately 1,370ha (3,400 acres) is farmed and cropping is all combinable crops along with vining peas. A full range of soil types from sand to heavy clay has to be managed and 60–70 per cent of the area is ploughed each year. Two Lexion combines; a 580 and a 770 are operated. “We previously had another brand but changed to Claas following a demonstration in 1998,” explained Keith Stephenson (pictured second right). “We were seeing greater straw volumes, partly due to new fungicides, and the Claas APS pre-separation system made a noticeable difference to the efficiency of threshing and work rates. It proved beneficial in oilseed rape as well as all the cereals and we are firmly convinced that Claas is the market leader in terms of performance. We receive very good service from the Catfoss depot and all the fitters know us well and are locally based. We deal with Bob McTurk when we need to buy anything and are looked after very well.”

Three Lemken ploughs are operated, all fitted with versatile WS2 bodies. Two are semi-mounted VariDiamant 10 9f models, both used behind crawlers and the other is a smaller 6f Europal 9, used behind a wheeled tractor.

“We bought our first Lemken plough in 2007 after severe June flooding following 100mm of rain in 24hrs which left some of our land under 4ft of water,” explained Keith. “We had been using another plough brand but that just wouldn’t penetrate the ground following the flood, and where it did break the surface it wouldn’t turn the soil over properly. We had a demonstration of

a Lemken plough which was so successful it never left the farm and although at that time we operated just the one plough the farmed area has grown since which is why we now operate three.”

Keith said the Lemken’s ability to deal effectively with large amounts of trash encouraged the family to plough more of the land. “High chopped straw and trash volumes mean we require good ploughs which bury effectively and this has become more essential with the increasing black-grass resistance issues in some fields. But there are other benefits too. We bought our second plough because we could see that ploughing helped correct issues such as compaction and in a wet season it allows the soil to dry out more quickly allowing us to get on with subsequent cultivations and drilling. So when we decided to invest in our third plough last year we had no hesitation in purchasing another Lemken from Claas Eastern at Catfoss, which had recently taken on the franchise.”

Dealer’s pride in hero HGV driver A dealer’s long serving delivery driver has received a major award for using his lorry to stop a runaway van, helping to save a man’s life. David Williams reports.

Russell Dagless has been an HGV driver for John Deere main dealer Ben Burgess for 22 years spending most of his time collecting and delivering agricultural machinery around East Anglia. Earlier this year he was returning to the company’s Norwich depot when he came across an unconscious motorist whose van was out of control on a dual carriageway, with his foot pressed on the accelerator.

“I had been delivering some tractors to our Beeston depot,” explained Russell, “and was on the A47 dual carriageway heading back to Norwich mid-afternoon on a Friday.

The day had gone well and I was optimistic that my weekend might start on time, when I saw a white van driving erratically at speed and rubbing along the central reservation barrier. As I came alongside it, I could see the unconscious driver slumped in his seat with his head down by the steering wheel.”

After several cars had undertaken the van, a clearer road allowed Russell to take action. “I don’t know how his van remained in the centre of the road but luckily it did for 400–500m. It was just lucky that my trailer was empty so I had the power and acceleration to overtake and I remained alongside, gradually closing in until the gap was narrow enough to nip the van and stop it. Looking back, I acted purely

on impulse although if the trailer had been loaded with machinery I would have had to think twice about my actions. But I just had to deal with the situation,” he said.

Having been brought to a stop the van was wedged between the lorry trailer and barrier and people in a car behind immediately jumped out to assist. With the doors jammed shut and attempts to gain access through the rear doors unsuccessful, the side window was used.

“Luckily those in the car had good first-aid knowledge and helped briefly until an off-duty fireman with excellent first-aid capability also stopped. Then a passing off-duty paramedic gave treatment until the police and ambulance arrived,” said Russell.

The van driver was laid on the lorry trailer during treatment before being transferred to the ambulance.

“The beaver tail trailer was perfect, from stopping the van to treating the sick driver and then it also happened to be exactly the same height as the ambulance door making it easy to transfer him,” added Russell. “It hadn’t a scratch on it either!”

Selfless actions Russell describes everyone involved as incredible and the van driver, who had suffered a bleed to the brain, survived. “Luckily plenty of witnesses

Ben Burgess machinery delivery driver Russell Dagless said he just did what he felt he had to at the time.

could explain what had happened. I was joined in my cab by a policeman who laughed that he could give me so many tickets that day and although they had to investigate I quickly received confirmation that I wasn’t in any trouble,” he said.

Russell’s actions remained relatively unknown until early July when the National Humane Society revealed that he had been selected for one of its highest awards. A second lorry driver travelling on the same road had caught the moment that Russell stopped the runaway van on his dash-cam and viewing the footage shows how well Russell’s manoeuvre was carried out as well as the potential consequences had he been unsuccessful.

The Testimonial on Vellum Award will be presented later this year with the charity adding that his selfless actions were ‘like a scene from an all action movie showing incredible courage’.

the past few weeks have amazed me with the interest it has created.

“I received a visit from representatives of the ‘Pride of Britain’ awards last week as apparently I have been nominated, but everyone who was there that day played a part and it was so lucky that of those who stopped shortly after, so many knew how to deal with the casualty.”

Ben Burgess managing director Ben Turner was delighted with his driver’s quick thinking. “When Russell told us what he had done we were all pleased and said well done. Once we received the video footage, it was clear to see just what a fantastic job he did. With the assistance of the other drivers that stopped, he helped save a man’s life and everyone in our company is very proud of him.

Right place, right vehicle “People have referred to me as a ‘hero’, but I think I was just in the right place with the right vehicle at the right time to help,” he added.

“People have helped me over the years and maybe it was just my turn to pay some of that back. Since the award became public knowledge the dash-cam footage has been shown around the world including on national news in Australia, and A still image, recorded on the dash-cam of a following lorry shows the runaway van moments after being brought to a stop by the Ben Burgess machinery transporter, potentially preventing a major incident and saving the driver’s life.

Russell’s HGV in more familiar surroundings loaded with machinery at the dealer’s Norwich depot.

”Russell delivers new and used agricultural and construction machinery locally to our customers.

He also spends time travelling to UK ports delivering used equipment for export. Add internal machinery transfer between our six depots, plus the delivery of our agricultural hire fleet and he’s a very busy man!”

On a roll with grass weed control

p Dave and Mike Markham. t The 12.3m set of He-Va King-Rollers with an Opico Micro-Pro 16 applicator attached.

Making the move to no-till crop establishment is a bold step but can see machinery requirements slashed. We talk to one Buckinghamshire outfit that has made the switch and now has just two primary tools to get crops in the ground.

When they made the move to direct drilling three years ago the Markham brothers went all out cold turkey on traditional tillage. Working with their other two joint venture partners they sold every cultivator on the three farms and all three drills that had been responsible, up until then, for getting every one of the 1,010ha (2,500 acres) of arable crops in the ground.

“Admittedly it was a bold step but we felt we shouldn’t muddy the waters with a half-way house situation,” explains Mike Markham.

“More pressingly we couldn’t afford to have £100,000-worth of cultivation kit hanging around in the shed. With the Cross-Slot we opted for the drill we thought would last the test of time. Working in some pretty tough, rock hard conditions it takes some punishment sowing cover and catch crops mid-summer.

Prior to making their decision they had done some pretty thorough research on exactly which establishment approach was right for their system. Over the previous season they had trialed 13 different drills – a range of strip-till, min-till, maxi-till and no-till. In the end it was the grass weed situation that convinced them that a move to minimal disturbance direct drilling was the way forward.

“We’ve been growing some pretty impressive crops of black-grass here over the last decade or so and it was really beginning to impact our bottom-line. We had to do something drastic.

“Our demo trials seemed to prove that zero-tillage resulted in fewer weed seeds germinating and that’s what sold the idea to us. Initially we were very worried about how untidily the crops came up but very quickly they straightened themselves out.

“The key was in having everyone on board. We’re very fortunate that our drill-man – Kevin Willis – really believes in the whole no-till approach.

He’s been critical in making it a success.”

A good start Over the following two seasons things appeared to be going well with the Cross-Slot but, despite the reduced disturbance, it hadn’t quite proved to be the panacea in grass weed control that had been hoped. Black-grass populations had been reduced but were still felt to be having an impact on crop performance.

“The way we have our drill set up means we can apply liquid and granular fertiliser as well as slug pellets or Avadex. But what we’d found was that we needed to do more.

“The only tillage tool we’d kept when we made the move to no-till was a set of rolls – we knew they’d be essential in moisture conservation and slug control. But they had no granule applicator and fitting the pipework for one to work with the folding set-up was going to be really awkward.

“The rolls had done plenty of work so we decided the best option was to change them while they still held some value and have a new set with integrated applicator.”

Having looked around at the options, the joint venture finally plumped for a 12.3m set of He-Va King-Rollers with an Opico Micro-Pro 16 applicator attached.

With the joint venture’s farmland spread across three different holdings, transport was a key consideration and the way the He-Va

rolls fold for the road was reckoned to be a vast improvement over the standard vertical-fold set-up employed previously.

“The King-Rollers swing round in a much more sensible way and travel that much better on the road – they just feel more stable. The overall He-Va build quality seems to be that little bit better than anything else on the market as well – we were easily convinced.

“But in truth the over-riding factor in the decision was the applicator. With 16 metering outlets it provides by far the most even and accurate surface coverage of granules that we’ve seen – and that was the critical factor for us in getting on top of grass weeds.

It’s also really easy to set-up and calibrate.”

Two-pronged approach The new set-up enabled the joint venture to take two-pronged approach to applying Avadex. When

drilling wheat there is the option to put slug pellets down the spout with the seed and then spin the granular herbicide on to the surface.

The rolls can then be used to apply a second dose of slug bait if required.

Alternatively the pellets can go on through the drill’s second hopper and Avadex can be distributed with the Opico applicator on the rolls.

“We had realised by our third season direct drilling that ultra accurate Avadex application was going to be key in battling blackgrass, sterile brome and wild oats,” says Mr Markham.

“The new rolls provided us with a way of ensuring that happened in combination with minimal surface disturbance from the drill. In just one season we’ve seen problem weed populations slashed significantly as a result.

“Whether that plays out into improved yields is too early to tell but certainly in the worst patches where wheat had dropped to 5-6t/ha things are now much improved. We’re definitely on a par with our five-year average and we expect to see better crop performance as we get further on top of the black-grass.”

available to the manual spool valves makes the X6 ‘LS’ an excellent loader tractor.

Independent front wheel suspension using ‘wishbone’ links on each end of the pivoting beam axle provide a smoother ride for the driver, which is especially welcome when the tractor is operated at speed in paddocks or when heading from job to job on country lanes.

A heavier-duty version of the same Carraro front axle is fitted to the McCormick X7.660 Pro Drive.

This not only gives the operator a more comfortable driving experience but can also improve traction over a rough surface by keeping the tyres firmly in contact with the ground.

“This is a premiership tractor,” declares David King. “I’ve been very impressed with its reliability and also the nicer cab, which is a very userfriendly environment to work in and also very comfortable.

“I also like the way the X7 series has introduced newer technologies into the McCormick range without making them overly complicated,”

In addition to harrowing and over-seeding, the McCormick X6.420 ‘LS’ powers this 18ft mounted topper.

he adds. “You could put someone on that tractor, a student for example, and wouldn’t have to spend a day showing them how to use it.”

The McCormick’s principal roles include ploughing with a 5f mounted implement, subsoiling, and sowing with a 4.8m KRM Sola tine drill.

“We don’t need a big, heavy tractor here, so the McCormick X7 fits the bill nicely,” says David.

New dealer appointed by tank manufacturer

Steve Berry of Samagri (left) with Bauer slurry specialist Rob Jackson in front of a Bauer poly tank spreader.

Hampshire dealer Samagri Ltd has been appointed sales and service dealer for Bauer’s range of tankers.

The company, run by Steve Berry at Herriard near Basingstoke, supplies tankers to farms and contractors for slurry application or spreading digestate from anaerobic digesters.

Bauer launched its BSA Profiline steel tank range earlier this year. As standard, they come with double corrosion protection to provide maximum resistance to aggressive liquor from anaerobic digestion plants. The welded steel tanks are hot-dip galvanized inside and out

and finished with duplex paint.

Bauer slurry equipment specialist Rob Jackson explained that this double layer of protection against corrosion helps maintain the integrity, appearance and re-sale value of the Bauer BSA Profiline tankers.

Advantages of poly tank spreaders are their lower weight and lack of corrosion due to the handbuilt polyester tank structure, which has a smooth external finish resulting in an ‘as new’ appearance when cleaned, he added.

Both tanker ranges feature Bauer’s

own positive displacement pump to provide consistent pressure and flow for efficient and accurate application across the widest 36m booms.

Capacities range from 10,000– 30,000 litres (10-30m3) while heavy-duty pendulum running gear with independent wheel movement gives the tankers predictable towing characteristics on a range of surfaces.

The design also allows a generous angle for the rear axle’s passive or active rear steering system, which minimises tyre scrub in tight turns and reduces the turning circle by more than 5m.

Updates to sprayer ranges Lemken has revealed a series of updates to its Primus and Albatros trailed sprayers which it says will improve implement features and handling.

Controls are now arranged more clearly and all major connections are centrally integrated behind protective covers. The attractive design is enhanced by a more rounded profile, LED lighting and a colour scheme that is in line with Lemken’s other range of field sprayers it says.

New features include a job computer and terminal. Lemken’s updated cab interior is now equipped with an intuitive graphical user interface on the CCI-50 terminal, which

comes with the standard implement models already.

A DGPS receiver can be retrofitted if customers wish to use proven CCI apps, for example for automatic width section control or parallel tracking assistance. The Primus and Albatros models of the 12 series feature Isobus as standard and can be operated using any compatible terminal.

The basic Primus version now comes with a circulation line, meaning that uniform spray fluid is instantly available across the full boom width as soon as the implement is switched on. EES models feature automated water hydraulics so that cleaning procedures can be comfortably

The new updated trailed field sprayers are now available to order.

controlled from the cab. Meanwhile a flexible drawbar allows operators to attach the sprayer either at the top or bottom position. The capacity of the clean water tank has also been increased to 320 litres.

The new updated trailed field

sprayers are now available to order.

The Primus 10 and 12 will have tank capacities of 2,400–4,400 litres and boom widths of 15–30m, and the Albatros 10 and 12 will have capacities of 4,000–6,200 litres and boom widths of 15–39m respectively.

Fall in lime use threatens crop yields Decreases in use of lime on arable fields and grassland could threaten future crop yields and quality.

According to the manufacturers of LimeX, farmers have decreased lime applications by around 20 per cent compared to the previous 3 year average. Using data from the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice it says that this is equivalent to 3.4 per

cent liming in grassland and 7.7 per cent in arable rotations.

Meanwhile PAAG surveys for 2014–2016 showed that across 530,000 soil samples 55 per cent of grassland and 19 per cent of arable land tested at, or below, pH 6.0.

“These levels will impact significantly on the utilisation of costly N, P and K and other

nutrients,” says a spokesman.

“Routine soil pH testing is required to ensure consequential loss of yield and quality is avoided by maintaining pH at an appropriate level for the rotation.”

Ignoring soil pH and available calcium can prove to be a costly mistake even in the short term, he says.

LimeX offers fast acting but lasting pH correction in arable and grassland rotations, and can be used in organic farming systems.

A ‘maintenance’ application of LimeX70 at 5t/ha will supply a minimum of 50kg P2O5, 35kg MgO and 30kg SO3 which are typically worth around £50/ha.

Clutch of new dealers for tractor brand A major push by Deutz-Fahr has seen the appointment of several well-established and highly-regarded dealers.

JPM Agricultural, based at Authorpe near Louth, is a sub-dealer to JT Friskney covering the east coast from Skegness to Grimsby.

With more than 10 years’ experience, it’s already the sole importer for Versatile Delta-Trac and is a dealer for McHale forklifts, Weidenmann telehandlers and Malone mowers.

Managing director James Hunt says: “The Deutz-Fahr tractor is a perfect addition to our existing range of machinery. Unless you have a very strong brand that can compete with some of the other well-known tractor brands, it’s virtually impossible to gain a foothold in what is one of the UK’s arable heartlands.

“In Deutz-Fahr we believe we’ve found a brand that can easily hold its own against other leading brands in the 100–200hp range, is competitively priced and maintains a good residual second-hand value.”

In Scotland, where William Kerr Tractors has been appointed as DeutzFahr main dealer for Ayr and Stranraer, it’s the lower horsepower tractors that are expected to be the mainstay of business, particularly in the dairy sector.

Managing director Willie Kerr says: “Dairy farmers have been suffering from a poor milk price and high second-hand machinery values, so the presence of a tractor manufacturer in the area that offers quality and reliability, high residual values and the support of an established dealership has to be welcome.”

William Kerr Tractors will continue to have an involvement with the Same tractor brand that began in 1978.

A key area of growth for DeutzFahr is Cornwall and the appointment of Penhallow-based Paul Jeffery

Paula and Paul Jeffery.

Agricultural Engineers as its dealer covering the west of the county has been welcomed by customers.

The appointment follows the retirement of previous Same and Deutz-Fahr dealer Ken Hall.

Paul Jeffery is a well-respected and experienced service engineer with more than 30 years’ experience working with Deutz-Fahr tractors. He is also familiar with the Same brand.

All administration and the running of the spare parts department, which is due to be refurbished, is to be the responsibility of Paul’s wife Paula. The dealership is also looking to expand its team with the appointment of at least one trained engineer.

Livestock Machinery

Farming in the fresh air There’s one simple reason why Dennis Bartlett runs a tractor without a cab.

Anything taller wouldn’t fit in the lowroofed cubicle building on his farm near Honiton in Devon where a herd of 70 Holstein Friesian dairy cows are overwintered.

“The rollover hoop only just scrapes under the doorway as it is,” he says.

A tractor able to fit in the sheds with a cosy cab protecting the driver would have to be a lot smaller than the 85hp Landini 5-090D and wouldn’t have the mass or muscle to cope with the machine’s year-round heavy workload.

“I need a proper tractor, not a toy,” says Dennis. “I use it for everything from yard scraping and trailer work to hedge cutting, putting out heavy silage bales and buckraking silage into the clamps, so it has to be up to the job.”

The tractor, which clocked 500 hours in its first five months, works across two farms where Dennis and his brothers Robert and Edwin pool resources when appropriate.

It meets their needs and

expectations, with a durable but simple specification that includes a mechanical 24x12 transmission with 40kph gearing and a synchro shuttle.

Manual 3-point linkage control also keeps things simple, with a handy one-touch switch used to raise and lower the 4,350kg-capacity lift arms, in addition to the usual quadrant lever.

Emissions requirements are met using electronic fuel injection, exhaust gas recirculation and diesel particulate filter on the 3.4-litre Perkins 854E engine, which contrasts to some extent with the simple spec of the rest of the tractor.

But there are benefits, says Dennis.

“It has more torque at lower revs than my previous tractors, so it pulls really well.

“And I have no concerns about the emissions system, which only occasionally needs to burn off deposits in the filter through an automatic regeneration process.”

The tractor is the latest of four cabless Landinis sourced from CJ Keitch Engineering at Dunkeswell. It follows a succession of Powerfarm tractors, predecessor to the 5-D series,

Dennis Bartlett.

in line with a relatively frequent replacement cycle that ensures reliability and avoids potential repair bills.

“We receive 110 per cent back-up from Chris Keitch. He’s always on the ball when there’s a problem. But this tractor is so critical to my daily routine and seasonal work that it has to be right all the time,” says Dennis.

“The Powerfarm 80 replaced by this new tractor clocked 4,300 hours in four and a half years and needed only a clutch and two new tyres in that time.

“So, you can understand my confidence in the Landini products.”

As for the open-plan driving position, Dennis dismisses it as no different from getting about on a quad bike. “I can work around wet weather to some extent, and in winter you have to wear waterproof clothing anyway. Being outside on the tractor

isn’t really a problem.

“Visibility around the machine is perfect and the air-con in the summer is great!”

Extra-wide models added to range Kuhn Farm Machinery has added two extra-wide models to its range of dual-purpose trailed feeder and straw blowers.

The Primor 15070 M and 4270 M both boast high-capacity bodies enabling them to handle the largest of round and square bales.

The 15070 M with 15m3 capacity is large enough to take up to four 1.3 x 1.2 x 2.7m rectangular bales or three round bales up to 2m in diameter. It can be customised with a side or multidirectional discharge chute (GL model variant).

Other features include two 08R05B

powerful intake rotors which feed the full 1,700mm width of the turbine’s input area. A bank of six hydraulic tines above the feed rotors enables intake settings to be adjusted and regulated according to the type of product being used and to feed the turbine with an even supply of material. The turbine itself is capable of blowing to a distance of 18m and is fitted with eight bolt-on blades for pneumatic fodder separation.

Like others in the Primor range, the 15070 M uses Kuhn’s disengageable belt driven Polydrive

clutch system to drive two feed rotors which are equipped with 30 cutting sections for control over cutting length and intensity.

Prices start at £34,249 for the basic machine (with side chute and electric control).

Meanwhile the 4270 M has a 4.2m3 capacity enabling it to take a rectangular bale up to 1.3 x 1.2 x 2.7m, or two round bales up to 2m in diameter and 1.5m wide. This model is fitted with an overhead chute for straw blowing and feeding with the option of a swivelling chute.

Simple water tank solution brings benefits for pig business A mantra of “keep it simple” combined with a handson management approach have been the cornerstones of Steve Hart’s (right) success with his Norfolk Free Range pig business.

He set up the 12,000 sow breeding and free-range finishing operation some 20 years ago. It currently employs 100 people across 40 sites throughout East Anglia and supplies into the British Quality Pig supply chain.

The business’ success is testament to a great team effort with unit managers, support staff and suppliers all playing their part along the way, says Steve.

“Effective collaboration and the relationship with our equipment suppliers has always been important, none more so than the work we have done with Con-Tented Products, now part of Techneat Engineering, over the last few years,” he explains.

“As we continually strive to look at more innovative ways to boost production and control costs they have worked with us to provide products which have made a significant contribution to herd performance.”

Steve originally began working

increasing intake.

“Reducing stress reduces the need for treatment. Our whole production system is all about the reduction of stress to the animals. Give the sow comfortable housing, unlimited clean water, ready access to food and a good wallowing area, but make sure you keep the sow’s environment as simple and stress free as possible so she’s as happy as possible,” he adds.

The investment in the new enclosed water tanks led to an immediate decline in salmonella counts in and around the feeding areas. Feed intake has gone up increasing weaning weights by

0.3–0.5kg per piglet and Steve is pleased with the overall contribution the new tanks have made.

“The tanks are made from anti-microbial plastic which inhibits growth of water borne bacteria and diseases. Their robust design makes them tough and durable, there is less contamination from pests and far less wasted water,” explains Steve.

More recently he has been working with Jamie MacDonald and Tom Neat of Techneat in the development of a new 1,000 litre tank which he believes will be the optimum size for many of his grower units in the future.

Xziox is a trademarked product that carries a licence for human consumption. It’s non-corrosive and safe to use with all water medication.

The product not only targets the bacteria found in the farm’s water supply but also removes the biofilm within the pipework that’s found on almost all units, says AQM.

By ensuring the cleanliness of the water being delivered to their stock, AQM customers who are already using Xziox have recorded improvements in performance, the company says.

The system is designed to be as simple as possible, and only needs filling every 30 days or so.

Time to think about the drink With the pig industry experiencing a period of strong prices and demand, producers are starting to look at ways they can improve performance and increase profits.

The livestock marketing co-operative Anglia Quality Meats (AQM) believes that one method is to take a leaf out of the poultry

producers’ book and consider the quality of water being delivered to pigs.

AQM has been working for more than two years with a water treatment system, long established in the poultry industry but also proven with pigs to be a very effective way to improve farm performance, it says.

with Con-Tented on an Ad Lib feeder designed to maximise feed intake for growing pigs. However more recently the new goal has been to develop an improved system of supplying clean water in the farrowing area.

“Like many farming businesses we tend to take water for granted, particularly when it is sourced from our own bore holes at little cost. However, when it comes to livestock production a consistent supply of clean water remains a critical factor that cannot be ignored,” says Steve.

“Our own research has shown that if the sow is nutritionally challenged during lactation then ovulation is poorer and litter sizes subsequently reduced. The more water a sow drinks the greater its feed intake, so a key goal must be to make sure we have an effective system of supplying clean water in the farrowing area,” he adds.

After first seeing the Con-Tented water tanks at a trial site at Coxford in 2014 Steve purchased a number of 250 and 500 litre tanks to trial on his units. One early observation was that positioning nipple drinkers at the sow’s head height at a slightly downward angle, enabled them to take in the water with less additional effort which Steve saw as a further benefit in reducing stress levels and

Hybrid Rye - UK pig producers and arable farmers could mirror European counterparts says KWS Hybrid Rye (Secale cereale) hybrids as a substitute feed grain are proving popular with pig producers in Denmark, says breeding company KWS. “That same feeding regime is now gaining traction in the UK too. But rye for food and baking use is also a growth area due to its health aspects”

Future acreage to displace imports “From an arable perspective – Hybrid Rye has been grown on a limited basis – for Ryevita” – says KWS’ product manager John Burgess.

“The Ryevita area is limited to around 7- 9,000 hectares. With another 20,000 hectares now established for AD/biogas on top of that. Now that the expansion of AD is limited due to tariff regression and RHI tapering, a growth in UK area will come from feed and food use to displace imports” “With sterling exchange rates, livestock prices, restrictions on chemical use

Bishop Burton College study points to welfare benefits in pig feeding Rye could be used as a cost-effective substitute for wheat in pig rations and offer health and welfare benefits too, a recent trial at Bishop Burton College has demonstrated.

In a joint project by plant breeder KWS, Bishop Burton College and agronomy specialist Agrii. A batch of more than 100 pigs, weighing 60kg at the outset, was split into two groups. One was fed a complete compound, which included a winter hybrid rye variety, and the other group was fed a standard, wheat-based compound.

Pig behaviour was monitored for 30 minutes daily by a Bishop Burton student for eight weeks, with unwanted behaviour such fighting for food, biting and nose charging individually noted. n The pigs on the rye diet achieved an average DLWG of 1.13kg compared to 1.07 for the group fed wheat, although other European trials with higher rye inclusion levels have indicated that the two cereals have similar performance potential. n

Fighting over food almost halved within the rye group and biting, nosing, charging and nipping was also markedly reduced.

Researchers believe rye left the pigs feeling fuller for longer and therefore less prone to exhibiting aggression.

Hoppers and silos built to order Appropriate storage for feed and grain is imperative and Bentall Rowlands aims to offer a range of hoppers and silos to ensure that.

Its galvanised steel storage silos promise good ventilation while also protecting farm materials from pests. The storage systems will also automatically check moisture levels and temperatures.

Feed hoppers designed for the storage of granular feed are available in a range of sizes from 2–4m silo diameter and 0.5–4 rings in height.

Standard features include G600 galvanised steel, shallow corrugated

sidewall sheets, grade 8.8 spun galvanised fixings and dome headed bolts in the cone.

Meanwhile the range of hopper bottom silos start at 3m diameter with 15t of storage up to 10m diameter with 1,700t of storage. The 45 and 60 degree hoppers are standard but other hopper angles are available on request.

Silo roof panels, wall sheets and stiffening struts (up to 3mm thick) are sheared and formed from pre-galvanised steel sheets, with a minimum of G600 galvanising, providing outstanding corrosion

resistance. These silos are the optimal solution for quick unloads of large amounts of any granular loose free flowing materials.

Silo storage systems are often the most economical solution and are applicable for a range of farm sizes.

Bentall Rowlands’ silo ranges are designed, detailed, programmed and manufactured on one site, which means that non-standard silos can be made to client specification. ANSI and Eurocode designs are available.

■ The range of hopper bottom silos is from 3–10m in diameter with 15–1,700t of storage.

Specialist legal advice Strong legal advice is essential in running a successful business given the constantly changing landscape of agricultural law - and this is especially true for those in the pig and poultry sector.

The pig and poultry market has seen significant global growth in the past year, says Hewitsons Solicitors, a law firm specialising in legal advice for this sector.

Deborah Sharples, partner at Hewitsons says: “There are many challenges facing pig and poultry producers from difficulty getting planning permission to regulatory compliance and the scrutiny and objections of neighbours.

“It is valuable to have relevant and clear legal advice from lawyers who have experience and understanding of livestock businesses. This

engagement and real interest in the industry ensures that the advice is realistic and applicable.”

Hewitsons is a Legal Panel member of the NFU and full members of the National Pig Association and was awarded “Top Tier” status by both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partner’s legal guides. ■ Deborah Sharples of Hewitsons.

Driver-operated field and yard gate

Dofygate provides cost-effective access control.

Effective in deterring general unwanted visitors, or where precautionary disease-control measures require drivers to stop and wash their vehicles, Dofygate can play a valuable role in access control.

The remote-controlled gate can be installed with no need for powersupply wires. Its solar panel charges a battery capable of running the gate for three weeks in the dark, its makers say.

Since the gate opens or closes in 3.5 seconds with auto-close option, there’s no interruption to the day-to-day activities of authorised

vehicles or staff.

Remote control is via fob or phone. There are also keypad and auto options.

Dofygate was conceived by a farmer and developed by a packaging machinery design engineer.

Each unit is entirely selfcontained: all installation parts are included in the package, as is bespoke signage specific to the site and use.

Spreading the word on poultry biosecurity It has been several weeks since the last outbreak of Avian influenza in the UK. While this is encouraging news, the NFU poultry team is continuing to emphasise the need for vigilance, particularly among backyard flock keepers, and the need to implement heightened biosecurity measures, reported NFU Graduate, Verity Richards.

“The team has been attending shows around the country including the Royal Three Counties, the Royal Cheshire, Lincolnshire and the Royal Norfolk, talking to poultry owners and targeting trade stands and other industry bodies to help spread the important biosecurity messages to poultry keepers. “‘Top tips’ cards have been distributed, detailing some of the key measures poultry keepers can practice to keep their birds safe and also listing contact details for APHA’s (Animal and Plant Health Agency) Poultry Register where keepers can sign up to receive the latest news and advice in the event of an outbreak.

“A newly designed infographic

A newly designed infographic poster has been designed to help raise awareness of the importance of biosecurity measures among poultry farmers and keepers. It can be downloaded from the NFU’s website.

poster has been sent out to key industry contacts including country stores, feed merchants, egg packers, breed companies, veterinary practices, livestock markets and others to help raise awareness of the importance of these measures among poultry farmers and keepers,” she said.

The NFU recommends all poultry keepers register for free with the APHA (regardless of the number of birds kept) in order to receive the latest news and advice in the event of an outbreak of avian flu.

Very eventful show for machinery dealer Lincolnshire- and Yorkshire-based dealer Peacock and Binnington scooped a hat-trick of awards at June’s Lincolnshire Show.

The trio comprised the Leverton Cup for the best agricultural stand, the Gordon Spratt Memorial Trophy for the stand with the most welcoming experience and best hospitality, and the Hugh Bourn President’s Trophy for the best stand in the whole show.

Managing director Graham Main says: “The trophies are a great reward for the effort put in by the girls and guys welcoming visitors to our stand and for making it the best in show, something we’ve never achieved before.”

The company was especially pleased to welcome onto the stand George Eustice MP, Minister of State for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. He met with chairman Michael Peacock, discussing Brexit and the future of UK farming outside the EU. Despite the high temperatures over the two-day event, the stand attracted crowds of visitors, not only to view the machinery on display, but also the stunt trials bike show performed by 16-year-old Will Ackerley.

Will, the son of one of the company’s farming customers from Pocklington, has been riding pedal trials bikes for the past six years and is now one of the best young juniors, not only in Great Britain but also Europe.

Last year he was invited by British Cycling to ride for GB in the World Championships.

His true passion is competitive trials, but he has also started doing shows, both solo and as part of a team.

As one of his main sponsors, Peacock and Binnington booked him to perform both at the Lincolnshire Show and the Driffield Show in July.

Flexible storage tank solutions

The flexible storage tank offers a relocatable storage tank for all liquid types.

A new product from Huesker enables tipping trailers to be converted for transporting liquid manure or fermentation liquids to fields in the same way as a tanker.

The Flexcover Combi can be installed onto the tailgate fittings once the original trailer tailgate is removed. The module is supplied fully assembled including the pump and storage bag.

Hydraulic hoses for the pump and RotaCut need to be installed prior to the initial assembly, with

subsequent connection to the tractor/trailer hydraulics or an auxiliary pump.

The Covertec flexible tank can hold virtually any type of liquid and offers both a short-term and permanent storage solutions. The containers are simply placed on the ground and require no extra lateral support. The tanks can be used for many different liquids including drinking water or rainwater, sewage sludge or digestate to liquid manure or fertiliser.

Lightweight option for slurry spreading A handmade glass reinforced plastic tank is among the features of a new slurry tanker unveiled by Storth.

According to the manufacturer, the plastic tank of the Osprey offers reduced weight and improved fill capacity, making it easier to transport and spread large volumes of slurry more efficiently.

The British built tanker has a weight saving of 0.5–2t compared with the equivalent steel tankers, which results in less ground compaction. The spreading options at the rear include a simple splash plate, which delivers a 15m spread, reducing the amount of time it takes to spread slurry while also delivering more of an even coverage.

The tanker can also be fitted with a 4-point linkage to accommodate The Storth Osprey.

the Storth 12m dribble bar or our Storth 6.2m trailing shoe applicator.

Along with its sprung suspension, the Osprey tanker is fitted with R22.5 tyres as standard which assist road travel and minimise the impact made on the land when applying slurry.

Multiple filling options available on the tanker have also been designed to help a multitude of contractors, loading slurry from a variety of stores. A lobe pump is also fitted as standard to the drawbar, which can be PTO or hydraulically driven, which helps reduce the amount of time it takes to fill.

New model set to create a storm Harry West is introducing an 8m3 version of its Maelstrom reardischarge spreader for sale this autumn.

The Maelstrom incorporates a Y-shaped body that gives additional volume while allowing a low loading height that, in turn, gives better stability.

The spreader benefits from the care and attention given to the design and construction of all West machines.

The twin vertical beaters fitted with specially-designed blades spinning at 400rpm offer an even and consistent spread pattern and handle all types of manure.

They’re driven by new highly-rated gearboxes.

Coupled with two hardened chain drives rated to 65t strain and joining link used on each feed bar, this ensures a long and productive life, the company says.

The wide-angle PTO is standard and driven through a slip clutch unit, giving additional protection to the machine.

A multi-leaf sprung drawbar gives an even ride, both empty and fully laden.

LED lights are standard, with a mechanical rear light protection cover that operates with the rear door. Mudguards, electrical weighing system and in-cab electrical controls for the bed speed are optional.

A further upgrade is the GPS controller that allows the manure to be applied according to in-field nutrient requirements.

Slurry is a combination of the solids and liquids that are undigested by animals. During the digestion process animals may only absorb 5–20 per cent of the nutrients in their feed, with the reminder left in their manure. Grazing animals naturally recycle back onto the pasture. For housed animals slurry has to be stored and re-applied to the ground safely, explains Abbey

technology will reduce the use of purchased chemical fertiliser and help the farm to become more profitable.

There are environmental risks associated with applying slurry and to minimise these risks it is important to consider the timing of application, weather factors, soil type, field aspect (ie hilly vs flat), proximity to water courses etc.

Application systems such as the Abbey Dribble Bar, Trailing Shoe and Tri-App spreading systems maximise the nutrient recovery value from the slurry and minimise any negative impact to the environment, says the company. Getting the most from slurry involves the adoption of an appropriate management strategy

– important issues are: • Ensure there is suitable preparation of slurry by effective mixing prior to spreading.

• Ensure nutrient content of slurry being applied matches crop requirements.

• Ensure whatever Applicator is selected is correctly set up to optimise in-field performance. ■

The best use of slurry is all in the mix Slurry and digestate handling specialist Tramspread is celebrating five successful years importing Reck slurry mixers.

The company offers a range with over 1,000 variations of the mixers.

“The complete homogenisation of slurry is necessary to enable the best possible utilisation of available nutrients providing high yields and decreased expenditure on artificial fertiliser,“ says Edwin Baker of Tramspread. Complete mixing also preserves storage capacity and puts slurry in the best possible condition for separation, pumping and applying to land, he adds.

The Reck PTO range is able to

handle 1,000 rpm with Reck propellers achieving about 10 times more mixing performance than pumps with the same amount of energy.

“A propeller is able to homogenise and regularly mix very thick surface crusts and sediment,” he adds. “All Reck slurry mixers are equipped with the easy to exchange, long

lasting and economic wooden slide bearings, which have proved themselves for over five decades applying to land.”

Proactive disease control initiative Engaging farmers in the importance of preventative herd health and proactively avoiding the on-set of disease is the focus of the industry initiative: ‘Disease?

Not On My Farm!’ launched recently by MSD Animal Health.

With increasing pressure from regulation, changing consumer expectations and the ever-present challenges from economically intrusive diseases, it has never been more important for farmers to understand the value of effectively managing disease on-farm.

“There are figures to suggest that diseases such as infection bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and bovine virus diarrhoea (BVD) costs the industry up to £36.6m and £61m respectively each year,” explains MSD Animal Health ruminant business unit director, Rosie Booth.

“Despite the economic significance of these diseases being a factor that farmers cannot afford to ignore, some still are. It’s often the case that the true cost of disease to the individual herd is unknown,” she adds.

“There is a real need to address the common perception among farmers that vaccination suggests disease is present in a herd, when in actual fact it’s a case of proactive and preventative disease management.

“Within the UK, based on MSD Animal Health calculations, it’s shown that vaccination usage to protect against BVD has declined in recent years from 27.8 to 26.3 per cent, and for IBR remains low at 23.4 per cent.

“Therefore, changing this perception and providing the right supporting advice could go a long way to improving on-farm disease levels. Hence the reason MSD Animal Health has developed the industry initiative.”

Agri and contractor spec models from 1150 to 4000 gallons At MAJOR we understand the importance of getting the right product to work to your requirements. This is why we have invested heavily in our tanker manufacturing facilities and design team, to bring you a premium custom designed product that won’t let you down.

Muck & Slurry

Multiple orders for muck spreaders

tp Vredo VT4556 Tebbe muck spreaders lined up ready for delivery to the UK. u The Vredo VT4556 Tebbe muck spreader performed very well in Anglian Water trials.

Dutch machinery manufacturer Vredo is about to deliver a large number of its Vredo VT4556 Tebbe muck spreaders to the UK; seven to Anglian Water, six to OJ Neil Contracting Ltd (working for Thames Water), and one to Farming General Services Ltd (also on a Thames Water contract).

Together, with the delivery of the machines, an intensive training programme has begun for all operators to maximise the performance and efficiency of the machines, says the company.

The new models are equipped with the latest technology for spreading and GPS-auto steer systems. The option for variable rate control, part of the new spreader control design, is now fully integrated in the Vredo Trac Control (VTC). Wide floatation tyres with improved flexibility, guarantees low ground pressure and minimal soil compaction, adds the firm.

According to the manufacturer, research by Anglian Water demonstrated that Vredo machines proved to be the best in terms of

manoeuvrability, spread pattern and operator comfort compared with other machines tested.

In addition, as the machine with the lowest weight, in combination with crab steer, it resulted in the lowest ground compaction in the trial.

Part of Anglian Water, Nutri-Bio’s sales manager, George Stanley, said: “With the new spreaders we are able to sell more sewage cake to farmers as it is easier to convince them about the low ground compaction benefits.”

Spreading contract OJ Neil Contracting Ltd has recently been awarded the Thames Water spreading contract for all areas north of the River Thames which will see the company spread 355,000t of biosolids annually.

“It is always a challenge to find the balance between best output and best price,” says managing director Oliver Neil. “With the performance of the two Vredo VT4546 Tebbe machines we initially bought, we were very happy. Vredo proved to be more a partner than

a supplier, and we got excellent support and service from the factory and dealer. The machine performance is one important thing, but good support is crucial in ag business with its short seasons and high work-load.”

FGS Agri Ltd, the first UK company to invest in the Vredo self-propelled spreader in 2012, decided to go for the latest high capacity machine with 687hp and CVT transmission. With the

larger fields and steeper farmland terrain around Andover, the higher horsepower and larger Tebbe box suit the operation in terms of capacity and fuel consumption. ■ 08R04B

Milestone purchase for hire firm Machinery-hire specialist SW Hire has taken delivery of its 100th machine from British manufacturer Richard Western, through the Claas Western dealership.

The SF14HS 14t grain trailer complete with silage side extensions is one of 50 Richard Western trailers on the Chippenham, Wiltshire-based company’s fleet.

It joins an expanding range of kit for hire that includes 12, 14, 16 and 18t trailers, grain chaser bins, reardischarge muck-spreaders and three slurry tankers, available with grassland dribble bars.

SW Hire also offers 100–350hp

tractor hire, supplied with or without GPS steering guidance, plus a range of telescopic handlers, hedge-cutters, flail toppers, rotary and batwing-type toppers, and mini and midi excavators.

Managing director Simon Williams says: “We’ve come a long way in our first 14 years of business.

“Our first Richard Western machine was a Delilah D10 manure-spreader.

Now the most recent spreader in our fleet is the new D4120, complete with hydraulic rotor covers that allow fast changeover from a vertical beater to a spreader that delivers a spread pattern similar to that offered by spinning-disc machines.”

Richard Western sales director Mike Murray says: “We’re proud to supply SW Hire and we enjoy an excellent working relationship with Simon.

“It’s clear from the success of his business that there’s a demand for a professional hire service as an alternative to machinery purchase.

There are clear benefits for his customers to be able to access the latest machinery without the capital expenditure and depreciation associated with ownership.”

SW Hire’s kit is available for hire nationwide on short- and long-term agreements from a single day to a year.

Strength and quality for trailer hire company A selection from AM Contracting’s Larrington fleet inlcuding a 16t Majestic on the left, a 16t Harvester to the right and an 18t Majestic with silage sides.

He runs a mix of Harvester and Majestic models which have proven popular with customers too.

“Their strength and build quality is second to none, which is critical when a trailer will be out on hire with heavy use for six months each year,” says Andrew. “I have a good

relationship with my supplier Writtle Farm Machinery and also with Richard Larrington of Larringtons.

They listen to what I want and are happy to tweak build specifications accordingly.”

When hiring out trailers to farmers, strength and build quality are of paramount importance says Sudbury-based Andrew May. Trading as AM Contracting Andrew hires trailers to farmers across Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. He has around 25 trailers in his fleet nearly half of which are Larringtons having beought his first Larrington trailer in 2014.

Trailers

An early 6t Bailey trailer, still in shape after more than 30 years’ service.

A proud heritage Self-proclaimed Lincolnshire success story Bailey Trailers is celebrating 35 years of innovation this year, crediting its success to hard work and innovation.

Since Tom Bailey built his first trailer at Aunsby in 1982, the company has produced about 16,000 trailers.

At the beginning, the structural steel building engineers produced just one trailer a week. Now, operating from its purpose-built and extended factory in Sleaford, it employs the latest technology including laser cutters and CNC press brakes.

The sales process is totally computerised, accurately advising the customer of delivery date from the outset.

However, the company remains a strong family business, with Tom’s sons and daughter playing their roles. Michael is sales director, Richard is head of design, Stephen is northern sales manager and Michelle is company secretary. The next generation is also well represented in sales and office administration.

The company builds its trailers to high specifications to withstand the

rigours of modern farming, it says. It believes that every task has its specific requirements and aims to meet these through intelligent design and advanced engineering, as typified by its marketleading TB range.

Numerous root and beet trailers, flat loaders, bale, silage and grain models, tippers and dumpers comprise an impressive catalogue.

Dual-fuel bowsers with diesel and AdBlue tanks are a well-established side-line, the company adds.

Whatever the customers’ requirements, Bailey Trailers says it will meet their needs and exceed their expectations. With access to more than 50 dealers across the UK, customers are also never far away from advice and support.

■

Taking the pressure off Efforts to reduce ground compaction from trailers with expensive wheel and tyre assembles can be undone by the tyre pressures required for road work, says HM Trailers.

Adjusting tyre pressure according to speed in order to minimise compaction is difficult to achieve practically it says. However HM has created a possible solution in its Central Tyre Inflation (CTI)

system.

The system enables tyre pressure can be adjusted from road to field pressure in seconds and with ‘fingertip control’, says the Essex-based company.

For a one-off cost, the same-size wheel and tyre can be adjusted to the appropriate pressure. For example, for a 560/60 22.5 it is possible to change from 18psi to 52psi in a matter of seconds.

HM Trailer’s Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) system can adjust tyre pressure in seconds.

The CTI system is available in twin or single-line options with analogue or digital controls. This facility can provide long-term savings in time, fuel,

tyre wear and, increasingly importantly, impact on the land, says HM which will also build custom trailers to customers’ requirements.

ADR’s latest Teknoax axle.

A customer leaves Cheshire Farm Machinery with two new Broughan trailers.

Farmers and contractors are increasingly demanding in their requirements for trailers, according to one manufacturer who is committed to moving with the times.

Not only are customers looking for quality and price they also want a strong trailer that will last for many years with many adding further customisation to their orders, says Paul Broughan of Broughan Engineering.

“Today’s customer requirements vary greatly often requiring a bespoke design approach to suit each buyer,” he says.

Broughan manufacturers a wide range of trailers including grain/silage, cattle, bale, low-loaders and dumpers.

“Standard trailers are available but more and more customers are looking for a customised option,” adds Paul.

Patrick Broughan says: “We are building a lot of trailers with air suspension, which are also very popular.

“Facebook and YouTube have proven invaluable in promoting Broughan Trailers and the company is very well-known throughout England and Ireland with trailers also shipping to New Zealand.”

High speed and large capacity trailers may benefit from the increased strength and weight capacity offered by ADL UK Tyremart’s new commercial axle.

The Teknoax axle is a tubular forged axle. The company claims that the new design, along with large bearings, has increased the weight capacity which along with improved seals and bearing adjustment make it the ideal choice for high-speed or heavier trailers.

Dealers throughout the UK

Suffolk Farm Machinery now offers products from six different global manufacturers.

The Earl Soham based business was launched in 2015 when its managing director became sole UK importer for Hawe-Wester’s range of high quality field transfer systems and spreading systems and has since added five further names to its portfolio.

The range of trailers from Lithuanian company Laumetris includes construction dumpers to 30t, bale and box trailers to 25t, root trailers (15–20t) and a specialised range of low vegetable box trailers as well as a range of muck spreaders. In recent years the company has also started to produce bowser trailers for sprayer refilling and other liquid transport with self-fill booms for high capacity filling and discharge (up to 18,000 litres).

Running alongside the trailer lines is an extensive range of tillage equipment.

The professional PTL trailer starts at 8t and extends to 30t on 3-axle chassis. Each trailer can be built to a customer’s requirements with an extensive list of available options.

“Customers using the product here in the UK report the trailers are balanced and tow and handle very well,” says Suffolk Farm Machinery’s Richard Carr. “The high quality and pricing of all Laumetris trailers is very attractive within the UK market place and all trailers have a two year warranty package.”

The company remains the sole UK importer of Hawe-Wester field transfer trailer systems. The German manufacturer is mostly known for its grain chaser bins which now go to a capacity of 50m3, but also offers field transfer systems for root crops, grass and maize silage or woodchip along with a full range of muck spreaders and push-off trailers.

Its MK range can be part of the WPS body swap system where the one chassis can be used with seven different interchangeable trailer bodies.

New partnership looking ahead Setting its sights on the UK market, since January 2017, Belgium based manufacturer of agricultural trailers Record has appointed Swaffham, Norfolk based DC Engineering as its UK Agent. DC Engineering, established in 2002, is best known for supplying high quality and reliable vegetable handling equipment.

Record’s products were seen at their first competition appearance at this year’s Royal Norfolk Show, where DC Engineering submitted a

multi-functional silage trailer with driven axles, which won a highly commended award on the Norfolk Farm Machinery Club’s stand.

The manure spreader was the first product from Record and includes the De S-series range, a more basic model and the Vulkan range offering five versions in varying lengths with single or tandem axles.

The new “evolution” in Record’s tipper trailer range is the KMR Evo, from 14.5–24t featuring a monocoque

body and height of 1,500mm, enabling it to unload harvested crops direct into waiting lorries. It is suitable for the transfer of all vegetables, points out DC Engineering.

All Record products offer improved tyre specifications, rear axle steering, ABS braking, as well as hydraulic and drawbar suspension allowing for a smooth ride.

■ KMR 2400 tipper trailers from Record can be used for a range of crops from cereals to roots.

Efficiency and safety gains for Lincs contractor maize foraging season when moisture contents are higher and will compact better,” says David. “Also for rye and grass there will be a far greater benefit.”

He has been pleased so far: “We have been towing it behind an Arion 650 with air-brakes and the hydraulic drawbar and the swivel eye means it runs really well on the road.

The Kompactor trailer is a branch out for Hi-Spec Engineering which is best known for its high-capacity paddle or auger type diet feeders, vacuum tankers and muck spreaders.

Kompactor is available in four sizes – the K30 (18ft), K33 (20ft), K36 (22ft) and K40 (24ft). A demount version is also available, which enables the trailer body to be swapped for a Hi-Spec vacuum tanker body.

Emptying the Kompactor involves raising the tailgate, then fully extending the headboard. Depending on load, the trailer can be empty within 30 seconds. The load is pushed off so the trailer body does not need to be tipped. This, alongside the push-off mechanism and low centre or gravity reduces or removes many of the risks of tipper trailers, says Hi-Spec.

The push-off appeals to David who

has five 600t grain stores which don’t have access for a tipper trailer so grain usually has to be tipped outside and bucketed in.

“With the Kompactor we will just be able to back in and push the grain out, which will be far easier and quicker,” says David.

The Kompactor is lighter in weight than a conventional trailer. As standard all models feature commercial running gear, air/hydraulic braking and a hydraulically sprung drawbar, through which all the hydraulic and electric lines are routed, LED lighting and reversing light. Options include

With more than 3,000ha of feed crops to harvest for seven different anaerobic digestion plants, efficiency is key for Lincolnshire contractor David Fox. David, who is based near Scunthorpe, harvests some 2,000ha of maize, 480ha of whole crop rye, 480ha of grass and 80ha of whole crop wheat.

He runs two Claas forage harvesters and a fleet of 14 trailers (16t).

Looking for ways to increase trailer capacity led him to consider alternatives and in particular the Hi-Spec K36 Kompactor compaction/ push-off trailer.

The key feature of the Kompactor is the hydraulically-operated headboard which is powered by a three-stage hydraulic ram. With the tailgate shut, the headboard can be used to compact material such as grass or maize silage, which can increase load by up to 80 per cent compared to a conventional trailer. However, due to its size the Kompactor trailer is also suited for transporting bulky materials, such as woodchip or grain.

“On average, a trailer will hold around 13–14t but with the Kompactor we can increase the load for the same size trailer, especially earlier in the

Power on the Land Ploughing has emerged as an effective method for dealing with black-grass problems, and this is one reason why UK sales figures for ploughs have stabilised after a period of falling demand, writes Mike Williams.

In spite of gloomy predictions in the 1980s and 1990s that ploughs would soon be redundant due to minimum cultivation methods and chemical weed control, the plough is proving to be resilient. Following the reduction in UK sales during the past 20 years or so, demand has levelled out more recently with sales typically around 800–900 per year.

Some of the downward trend was because the average size of new ploughs sold each year has been growing steadily from 4/5f to 5/6f, reflecting increased tractor power.

Another factor is that instead of abandoning the plough, many farms have adopted rotational ploughing, reducing their annual ploughed acreage and requiring less frequent plough replacement.

companies have started plough production for the first time while other established manufacturers are expanding production. Amazone became a plough manufacturer about five years ago when it introduced the Cayron range for tractors up to 240hp. Cayron ploughs are available in 5 and 6f versions and a special design feature is hydraulic control of the plough functions from the tractor cab.

Recently Amazone has expanded its plough range by taking over the Vogel & Noot plough business, adding the Cayros series from 3–6f.

The Cayros ploughs, shown for the

first time in the UK at this year’s Lamma event, are for tractors with maximum power from 120–380hp and are available with 9 different mouldboard options.

Original designs Another recent arrival is the Hubert range made in Suffolk by Agri-Hire, the only UK built ploughs. Production started less than two years ago based on original Dowdeswell designs and most of the parts are made by a Dowdeswell company.

Tim Hubert’s Agri-Hire had close links with Dowdeswell as one of its biggest dealers and parts stockists, and he also established a specialised business refurbishing used Dowdeswell ploughs.

When he heard that Dowdeswell planned to stop making ploughs, Mr Hubert decided to build them

himself. He offers ploughs from 5–10f for tractors up to 600hp, and although the ploughs are built to the original designs using mainly original Dowdeswell parts, there are also some updated design features including one-piece leg carriers and main beams made with high tensile box section steel.

Products extended The Gregoire Besson group, which has a UK distribution centre in Lincolnshire, extended its product range by taking over Rabe, one of Germany’s leading manufacturers of ploughs and other implements, and the Rabe equipment range is now available in the UK through the

Plough production Evidence of long-term confidence in the mouldboard plough market includes the fact that some

Power on the Land ...from previous page

Gregoire Besson group.

Gregoire Besson machinery includes mounted and semimounted ploughs from 2–16f to work with tractors ranging from 50–600hp maximum output. Special features on some models include an award-winning offset cranked leg designed to increase output and fuel efficiency by absorbing less power.

Manual and hydraulic adjustment of the furrow width are both available and the company also offers the Andpak press which is fully mounted and matches changes in the furrow width.

Servo series ploughs in the Pottinger range feature a special beam construction with strengthening supports located inside the main beam where they are retained by bolts instead of welding, a design that avoids the need for external strengthening gussets while tolerating high working forces.

Servo ploughs are available with two specification levels, starting with the Standard versions which include manually operated furrow width adjustment, while Plus models have hydraulic width control, infinitely

84-164 ROP Aug.indd 95

variable between 12–20in.

Pottinger’s Servo ploughs are suitable for tractors from 120–360hp maximum output, and are available with up to 6f on fully mounted models and with from 6–9f semimounted. Break-back protection can be shear-bolt controlled or operated by the Nova auto-reset system that features adjustable trip pressure and also maintains the full breakaway pressure on the other furrows while one furrow is tripped.

M series This year’s new addition to the Opico product range is the Unico plough series made by Maschio Gaspardo.

Maschio moved into the plough market when it bought a controlling interest in an Italian manufacturer, and Opico is selling the M series ploughs with up to 5f for tractors up to 200hp, plus the L models with up to 6f to work with 300hp maximum.

Both mechanical and hydraulic furrow width adjustment are available, and hydraulically operated plough alignment is standard with 4f and above.

Beam dimensions start at 120 x 120mm for the M series ploughs,

increasing to 140 x 140mm for the L range, there is 80cm of underbeam clearance with 95cm interbody, and the main pivot shaft at the headstock is made of high grade steel with 100mm diameter for up to 3+1 furrows and 120mm for larger sizes.

Comprehensive range With fully mounted ploughs available in 3–7f widths plus 3 semi-mounted series with up to 12f, Kuhn offers a comprehensive range of choices for tractors from 90–492hp. The top semi-mounted models are in the Challenger and Vari-Challenger series which are based on a 220 x 220mm main beam, and the Vari-Leader series single-wheel semi-mounted ploughs have a 110 degree turning radius.

Furrow protection in the Kuhn range starts with the basic T-bolt mechanical system, and NSH (nonstop hydraulic) protection is also available. Under-beam clearance on the Vari-Master reversible ploughs from 3–7f is 75 or 80cm, furrow width adjustment is 12–20in and maximum tractor power for the entry level 3f plough is 105hp.

Kuhn’s 6f Vari-Master reversible plough with NSH break-back protection.

Mounted series Lemken’s plough range in the UK starts with the Juwel 7 mounted series from 3–5f and available with mechanical or hydraulic width adjustment, and electronic turn control. Maximum tractor power is 180hp. Up to 7f are available in the Juwel 8 series, the tractor size increases to 325hp maximum and an Isobus control link is available.

For farmers and contractors needing maximum output Lemken offers the EuroTitan 10 series wagon ploughs from 9–12f and with on-land or in-furrow capability. The design allows 90 degree steering angle and the tractor requirement is 180hp plus. Also in the high output sector from Lemken is the Diamant 11 semimounted series with 5–9f to work with a 180hp tractor.

Multi-tasking ploughs With ever increasing time and cost pressures Lemken believes that a furrow press permanently attached to the plough can offer a practical, timesaving option.

Its integrated FlexPack furrow press can be further adapted to variable working widths on the Juwel 7 and 8 mounted ploughs.

The furrow press frame runs parallel to the plough frame which ensures that there is no risk of field sections being pressed twice. Staggered pairs of 600mm furrow press rings with a V-profile prevent blockage during cultivation.

Lemken’s VarioPack offers a solution for good reconsolidation in any conditions of operation as a flexible or front-mounted single or double-row furrow press, with 700 or 900mm ring diameter, and with a 30 or 45 degree ring profile. Thanks to the ring design without individual hubs, the working width of this furrow press can be easily adjusted by bolting on or removing rings.

The ring shape, profile and special attachment enable maximum stability

and breaking strength with minimum wear. The hook linkage, which is made from surface-hardened steel, can be adjusted in two dimensions. The use of a trailed implement ensures that coarse clumps of soil are broken up further and that the soil is levelled accurately. In light to medium soils, a single pass is enough to prepare a field that is ready for sowing. A push linkage allows trailed furrow presses to be used with front hydraulics, with a simple steering device enabling precise alignment and turning of corners.

Both side sections of folding front furrow presses adapt independently to surface contours to ensure consistently high quality of work.

The entire Lemken plough range is available in 2–12f and working widths of up to 6.6m.

The mounted reversible Juwel M and MV include the innovative DuraMaxx plough bodies, which are available as full or slatted bodies in steel, plastic or hybrid versions. The slats and mouldboards are made of special wear-resistant tool steel without drill or punch holes, setting

Lemken’s Diamant 11 with press.

a new benchmark with a 150 per cent longer service life compared to conventional plough bodies. As DuraMaxx bodies are clipped to the base body, they are quick and easy to replace and can be fully utilised as wearing material.

The Isobus TurnControlPro in the Juwel 8 controls plough rotation and the settings for front furrow, working angle, working width and working depth via the hydraulic support wheel as standard. These functions are controlled via the CCI-200 terminal or the Isobus system on the tractor.

Additional functions such as furrow press operation or settings for the Hydromatic overload protection are available as options.

Lemken developed the semimounted Diamant 11/11V to meet the

demands of high output ploughing.

These ploughs are exceptionally manoeuvrable for rapid turning on narrow headlands and maximum acreage performance. The V models offer an easy-to-operate hydraulic ploughing width adjustment.

For users wanting to ensure maximum traction with a semi mounted plough an additional hydraulic cylinder transfer’s weight to the tractor’s rear axle to boost its traction. This ‘smart ballasting’ system reduces slip. As soon as the hydraulic system raises the plough frame, the pressure in the traction enhancer is automatically reduced to ensure that full tractor stability is maintained at all times. As soon as the transport wheel is lowered, pressure is automatically increased again.

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Early combine harvesters

A report on the previous month’s Royal Show was included in the August 1992 Farmers Guide.

Although some of the larger tractor manufacturers had withdrawn from the show there was still plenty of new equipment at Stoneleigh. Fendt had a prototype of its new 120hp Xylon 320 tractor on its stand and Clayton introduced the new 4-wheel steer 4015 systems tractor with a forward mounted cab. On the machinery front a new Bizon combine from Poland made its debut and Massey Ferguson’s satellite yield mapping system created a great deal of interest.

In a special report on the Sprays & Sprayers event held in Cambridgeshire, it was noted that the Ferrag self-propelled Degania air sprayer and a new Berthoud sprayer mounted on a Unimog were at the show. Other machines to attract attention included Gem Sprayers’ latest de-mount model for the JCB Fastrac and a new Hardi self-propelled sprayer with a 24m boom.

Ernest Cozens took a look back at the history of the plough noting that much had changed since the days of oxen drawn wooden ploughs. Readers were reminded that in the days of horse drawn ploughs most fields were ploughed

twice, once after harvest to chit the weeds and again before sowing the crop. The arrival of tractor hydraulic linkages signalled the next change with the introduction of reversible ploughs. The Bonnel, imported from France, and Roger Dowdeswell’s reversible were key factors in the growth of one way ploughing. As tractors became more powerful, the number of bodies on a plough increased and ploughs from Continental Europe dominated the scene.

A feature on ploughs in the August 1992 Farmers Guide gave details of the latest models from various companies including Dowdeswell, Gregoire Besson, Kverneland, Kuhn, Lemken, Overum and Vogel & Noot. There was special reference to the largest plough on the UK market. The 14f Gregoire Besson reversible was 61ft long and furrow widths were adjustable from 12–20in. The feature also carried a 2-page advertisement for the new Howard reversible Swing Plough. Needing less power than mouldboard ploughs, the 3, 4 or 5f plough with bulldozer shaped mouldboards was said to be an ideal implement for incorporating straw.

And finally, Tony Clarke wrote that he had taken a group of American visitors to see a retired Essex lady making corn dollies.

She took him to task for not growing wheats such as Little Joss and Squareheads Master which contained plenty of left handed straw, and he was assured that she was not pulling his leg!

The McCormick Deering 31 T reaper thresher with a peg drum, grain tank and a 12 or 15ft wide cutter bar was made between 1922 and 1940.

The first successful peg drum reaper thresher – they were not called combine harvesters until the late 1800s – was made in America some 180 years ago in 1836. Teams of up to 40 horses or mules pulled the wheel driven machines, some with a 25ft cutter bar, at speeds of up to 3mph and harvested between 60–100 acres in a day. The first steam-hauled peg drum reaper threshers, some with a 35ft cutter bar, appeared in 1886. The first British built combine harvester, with 16ft cutter bar, was made by Clayton & Shuttleworth at Lincoln in 1928. The first Claas combine harvester wrapped around a Lanz Bulldog tractor was made in 1931.

It was not a success and in 1937 it was replaced by the trailed and PTO-driven driven Claas MDB with a side-mounted and hinged 6ft cutter bar, and a trusser that tied the straw in bundles.

Case, John Deere Massey Harris and McCormick Deering were among the trailed combine harvesters being used in the UK in the mid-1930s. A Case Model Q, bought by a Suffolk farmer at the 1936 Suffolk Show, was one of the first combine harvesters seen in East Anglia. The trailed 12ft cut combine, which had a 27hp Case petrol/ paraffin engine, a 32in diameter peg drum and a 1.5t gravity emptied tank, cost £500. All North American harvest threshers had a peg drum and concave. The McCormick Deering 31 T harvest thresher, for example, had a 28in wide threshing cylinder with 130 peg-shaped teeth which threshed the crop as it passed between the drum and peg type concave. Unlike the rasp bar cylinder and concave on British threshing machines, the peg drum mashed up the straw and by 1940 it had been superseded by the rasp bar cylinder.

Rachel’s Harvest A charity event in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust takes place on Sunday, 20th August 2017 at Hoveringham, near Newark in Notts (NG14 7JX).

East coast appointment (L to r) Robert Noble, Hardwick Agricultural Engineers head of sales; Eric Hardwick; and Kevin Pryce, Kubota UK agricultural dealer manager, Scotland and Ireland.

Scarborough-based Hardwick Agricultural Engineers is reaping the benefits of a more diversified product range as it becomes part of Kubota’s UK network Initially the dealer will stock Kubota’s M60, M5001, MGX-III and M7001 tractor ranges from 60–175hp, allowing it to expand its customer base.

Hardwick Agricultural Engineers was established in 1980 as a small family-run repair and maintenance workshop. Now it’s one of the largest agricultural dealerships in the region, serving the Scarborough, Middlesbrough and Whitby areas.

Managing director Eric Hardwick

says: “Farming is becoming more and more specialised across both arable and livestock. It’s vitally important that we diversify our machinery range to meet the everchanging needs of our customers.

“By working closely with Kubota we’re better equipped to do this. The manufacturer also shares our passion for providing high levels of service and aftercare, which sits at the very centre of our business.”

Kubota business development manager Rob Edwards says: “We’re thrilled to be working with such a prestigious dealer as Hardwick Agricultural Engineers.

“Our dealer network is the linchpin to the success of Kubota and I’m sure our working relationship with Hardwick will continue to flourish.”

Stronger Scottish presence for Japanese brand

Kubota UK managing director Dave Roberts (fifth from left) shakes hands with AM Phillip Agritech principal Andrew Connon, flanked by representatives from the dealership on the left and the manufacturer on the right.

Kubota UK used June’s Royal Highland Show to announce that it’s joining forces with AM Phillip Agritech.

Kubota’s full range of agricultural solutions will be available from three of the dealer’s depots, namely Conon Bridge, Perth and Glenrothes.

The range includes the M7001, M5001, MGX-III and L series tractors, alongside market-leading RTV utility vehicles and grassland implements.

AM Phillip Agritech has been serving the Scottish farming market since 1955, with six branches across

the north and east of the country.

It has a long relationship with the Kubota brand, with its Gammies Groundcare division being the independent dealer for Kubota’s groundcare equipment for decades.

Kubota UK’s Rob Edwards says: “This further highlights Kubota’s commitment to the UK agricultural industry.

“Our message is clear. Kubota is prepared to invest in the right products, infrastructure and network to ensure we are a real force in this market for the long term.”
