Out and About with the FG team

Is your ‘harvest glass of beer’ half full or half empty? Still on-going for many, this year’s harvest does appear to have been a game of two halves. First off, things couldn’t have been much better as oilseed rape and winter barley came off the fields in no time at all, and all looked set for wheat and spring barley to follow. But then the school holidays began and down it came – like stair rods in places – and it’s been stop/start in terms of combine activity ever since. And while the wheat harvest in East Anglia and the South East is, on the whole, safely gathered in, there will be concerns further north and west as crops remain in the ground and, at times, continuing to take a hit from the unpredictable weather. It’s certainly not all doom and gloom though, suggested Swaffham, Norfolk based Saxon Agriculture grain director Mark Smith, talking to Farmers Guide on the 21st August. “Oilseed rape has probably been the pick of the crops this season and in sharp contrast to last,” he pointed out. “Growers got most of the crop in before the weather broke and we should see final yields close to 0.2t/ha above the fiveyear average.” Winter barley yields he said were in line with the five-year average with good kilo weights, although higher than normal screenings and nitrogen percentages. Winter malting barley suffered a little in terms of quality but, again, yields were in-line with longterm averages. “In the South and East of the country, where spring barley is all but harvested, there has been some mixed quality including high nitrogen, but yields are good,” he commented. At the time of writing, Mark reckoned that just over 50 per cent of the English wheat crop had been harvested, clearly delayed by the catchy weather. “Hagberg numbers have been much lower than normal because of the wet weather, particularly so on the south coast where numbers are in the low 100s, but also increasingly on samples across East Anglia. “That said, proteins are generally OK and specific weights are just about holding on.

However, farmers are generally happy with yields – typically in excess of the 8t/ha benchmark – and, from what I’ve seen so far, I would expect wheat to be a little up on the 5-year average,” he suggested. “There’s also a reasonable milling premium on offer at the moment – £15/t over feed is in play now – and we are already seeing higher malting premiums on the back of the higher nitrogen percentages found in barley. “A weak sterling is also protecting prices so, from a farmer’s perspective, things aren’t looking too bad,” Mark concluded.

Avoid a ‘terminal event’ After an easy start, what’s left of a stop/start harvest has become an operation in which opportunities to get the crop into store must be taken when they can. Dust levels are such that it is often hard to tell what colour and make of combine is working, and it is at times like these that pressure to get on can lead to the most basic aspect of combine daily checks being overlooked. Combine fires, or ‘terminal events’ as they are often known, can result from dust and chaff build-up around the engine and under the side covers. Leaving the comfort of the cab for a few minutes at regular intervals to check levels haven’t become excessive and brushing

or blowing away any build up, could prevent overheating, or worse.

Help centenary celebrations This year marks 100 years since the Fordson Model F became available and New Holland’s celebrations marking ‘100 years of blue tractor production’ continues in full swing. Now the company has announced a photographic competition for customers to illustrate their part in the brand’s heritage story by submitting pictures of their working British-built, blue tractors. Details are on the Farmers Guide website and first prize is £500 of New Holland vouchers to spend on parts or merchandise, and there are two runner-up prizes of £250 each.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a field of outdoor pigs, the husband asked sarcastically; “Relatives of yours?” “Yes,” replied his wife, “in-laws.” This month’s joke was kindly sent in by Suffolk-based Chris Keeble.

Grain & Fertiliser Gossip

by Graham Henderson – graham@henders.biz Irregular heavy rain over the past few weeks in some areas has made wheat harvesting very difficult and I have no doubt farm driers have been going overtime in those areas affected. In one night alone during mid August there was over 1.5in of rainfall in parts of Suffolk! It is a good job diesel prices have been lower, however I understand that some counties like Essex have missed a lot of the storms and most of their wheat is in the barn. Lucky guys! There has been little wheat export to date although I hear there have been two boat loads sent to Holland from local ports. I have recently read that crop circles are prevalent again this harvest in Wiltshire and of course with the use of drone photographs they can soon be dissipated across the internet to thousands of viewers who can then go and look at them. Yet another problem for landowners! The problem of the European neonicotinoid ban rumbles on. Recent estimates have pronounced that the ban is costing European farmers £900m per annum from oilseed rape production losses alone. Research work with bumblebees at a London university is showing that up to 25 per cent of queens in contact with neonics are less likely to lay eggs which, if this continues, could possibly wipe out the bumblebee population with dramatic effect on pollination. As these negative aspects grow so the EU argument for a total and permanent ban on the use of the chemical currently under consideration will strengthen.

Grain Gossip Wheat has generally yielded well with some growers exceeding 12t/ha and 10t/ha quite common in some areas I understand. This level of

yield should compensate for relatively poor prices. On average crops have yielded up to 10 per cent above normal. Milling wheat proteins have generally been good as have kilo weights. Feed wheat prices are holding at around £124/t ex-farm on the spot market and £131/t for November movement. In England over 50 per cent of spring barley and winter wheat is now estimated to be in the barn (w/c 21st August). Egypt has been buying Russian wheat on recent tenders and this has driven world values down. In some areas spring barley has been harvested before wheat and the yields have been good, although quality, as with the winter barleys, is variable with significant higher nitrogen results. I have been informed that good premiums have been offered by maltsters on the open market for spring barleys under 1.6N, even towards £160/t. Plantings of spring barley this year have been assessed as an increase year-on-year of 16 per cent. With US and German wheats not producing the usual qualities for bread making there is a likely opportunity for France to gain in the quality market and maybe even the UK. There are potential wheat yield and quality problems in other parts of the world such as Australia, Canada and Ukraine, so we must wait to see what UK export opportunities may arise.

Fertiliser Fragments There is new EU legislation currently being proposed to restrict the level of cadmium in phosphate. This will prevent imports from North Africa and Middle Eastern suppliers which have high levels of cadmium included and give Russian producers who don’t have it the benefit of a less competitive market. This could possibly increase prices. Phosphate prices (DAP) have steadily reduced this year but are now beginning to level out. Potash demand in the UK from imports has significantly increased this year with Spain

becoming a major supplier overtaking Germany. This is as a result of the North Yorkshire Boulby mine owned by Israel Chemicals reducing its Potash production in favour of the Spanish mine that the company also owns. The Canadian potash merger that I wrote about some months ago between PCS and Agrium is at last entering final stages and the new company will be called Nutriem. UK Potash prices (MOP) have remained stable all this year due to a balanced market. Nitrogen prices have weakened over recent months due to lack of demand. This has applied to both ammonium nitrate and urea. Currently Nitram is around £200/t delivered and granular urea around £215/t. However there is little market activity across not only the UK but the world, and ammonium nitrate continues in over supply.

Sporting Snippets The manner of the England cricket defeat of the West Indies took many by surprise although, as the match developed, it was obvious that the Windies’ young team lacked experience and depth. Cook’s batting really settled the match with England winning by an innings and over 200 runs. Blackwood was the only West Indian batsman up to the job with his 79 not out. The England batting new boys did not fare very well and may not be up to the Australian challenge later in the year. The performances of Joe Root, Broad and Anderson were the other highlights of England’s victory. The Women’s World Rugby Cup continues next week with England, New Zealand, France and the USA in the semi-finals. I fancy that England can win this event. With the Premiership soon to start there is little to report on but I was not too happy with the announcement that Bristol has agreed to employ ex-All Black Charles Piutau from season 2018 on a salary of £1m. I do not want to see Rugby Union go the way of British football in terms of player salaries! ■

“Business as usual” for heavy land black-grass control The black-grass battle lines are being drawn ahead of autumn drilling.

With the end of harvest in sight, Dominic Kilburn talks to two heavy land agronomists ahead of the new season’s opening gambit against ever-threatening black-grass populations. Cultivation, drilling, crop competition and herbicide strategies all come into focus. Overall, black-grass control has been better however ‘hotspots’ on farms continued to appear, said North Essex-based AICC and Samco & Shrim Farmers’ agronomist Jamie Mackay, reflecting on the past season. “On the whole, we didn’t get those large areas of black-grass in crops that subsequently had to be sprayed off, as was the case in the spring of 2016. “We used Hamlet (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron + DFF) to get on top of autumn populations, which worked well, additionally we were fortunate with sufficient moisture last October and November, which helped the residuals, and because it was so dry in September and the forecast was good, even the larger farms delayed a good proportion of their drilling until well into October.”

Cultivations and drilling While rotational ploughing will appeal to some of the larger units

Jamie advises on, ploughing into second wheats or ahead of a spring break crop for example, he said that many of his heavy land growers won’t plough at all and pay particular attention to developing good stale seedbeds and using glyphosate to maximise black-grass kill ahead of drilling. “They will go through with tines, or discs and rolls to create a stale seedbed although in practice it’s not easy to move just the top 2in of soil. “With moisture levels currently (mid-August), they should be looking for sequences of two or three hits with glyphosate between harvest and drilling wheat. “In many cases it’s a question of achieving some sort of stale seedbed after harvest to start with, and then spraying glyphosate as and when flushes of grass weeds appear,” he said. “This year may not be quite so straightforward in terms of

persuading growers to drill late but we will still earmark later drilling where possible. “At the moment it looks like we are going to have to manage some wet soils, although that could change in a month. However, because of the unsettled weather we are having, growers might be adopting a slightly more cautious view this autumn and look to start drilling around the 20th September,” he suggested.

Crop competition Typically, he recommends seed rates of between 350–400 seeds/m2 in mid September and 450–500 seeds/m2 moving into October. “There are varieties such as Santiago, which is robust and produces a thick canopy, or Elgar, which is tall and competitive, and these types of varieties will help to compete with black-grass, but upping the seed rate and selecting a variety that suits the farm and the conditions is probably more important.” Also helping with blackgrass control is the fact that growers in the area have shifted from a traditional five-course rotation – featuring wheat/wheat/OSR/ wheat/winter oats or winter beans – to one where the fifth crop features spring barley or spring oats. “Some of the newer oat varieties have good lodging resistance and, with their resistance to take-all, they certainly have potential as a spring crop option for our growers,” pointed out Jamie. “It’s certainly a challenge to produce good yielding spring crops

on this land and good drainage, which is almost a forgotten area, is a key aspect of course,” he added.

Herbicides Flufenacet, pendimethalin and DFF continue to be a core herbicide treatment in the autumn, however trials work he undertook with Samco & Shrim colleague Matthew Paterson highlighted that increasing the standard dose rate of flufenacet (240g ai/ha) to 360g ai/ha, with the addition of Defy (prosulfocarb), made a difference in the level of black-grass control achieved. “We’ve also been trialling sugar beet and herbage herbicide ethofumestate, as in Xerton, and it looks promising. It provided us with similar, or better levels of control as Avadex but with the benefit of costing less. “Ethofumesate brings a little bit more to the table but you must be careful how you use it as it can be a bit ‘hot’ on the crop. “It’s approved as a post-em product on winter wheat and can be a timely addition to a later-applied insecticide spray tank mix.”

Business as usual For Northants-based AICC and Indigro agronomist, Damian McAuley (left), the story for effective black-grass control hasn’t changed. “The situation is simple – it’s business as usual for black-grass,” stressed Damian. Key to cultivations and preparing the ground for a seedbed, is to get them done as early after harvest as possible and then leave it, he advised. “Where fields are relatively clean, then use shallow cultivations, although strategic use of the plough in problem areas is useful. But if you can get away continued over...

with a light cultivation, all the better, and don’t keep going back to it with a cultivator to try and chit more blackgrass. “Where seed bank levels are high, black-grass will come up forever and so if you keep tickling the soil it will just keep coming up. Better to leave as much of it underground as possible,” he added.

October preference

Activity from Lexus Like most agronomists, Damian will be recommending pre-em applications based on Liberator (flufenacet + DFF) and a top-up of pendimethalin and Defy (prosulfocarb) or Lexus (flupyrsulfuron). “People keep talking down Lexus but I am still getting activity from it. Avadax is also important for a lot of growers and has worked well in recent seasons. “About four weeks after drilling, at peri-emergence, a residual top-up adds to overall black-grass control but be sure to be able to have the opportunity to apply it if you are drilling late,” advised Damian. To conclude, he encouraged

growers to think of the extra things that make a difference to blackgrass control: higher water rates of 200-300-litres/ha for a more even application of product across the field surface; angled (alternating forward/ backward) nozzles; application speeds of around 10kph and a recommended 50cm boom height. “Finally, be sure that seed is covered by at least 40mm of soil when applying Avadex, and 32mm of soil for Liberator, to avoid possible crop damage.” ■

Think about using angled nozzles for better weed control this autumn, growers are being advised.

Xerton product proﬁle Xerton (ethofumesate) can be applied to winter wheat for the control of annual meadow-grass, and in addition offers activity against black-grass and sterile brome with some beneficial effects on wild oats and other brome species. It also provides activity against a range of annual broadleaved weeds, in particular, chickweed and shepherd’s purse.

Damian suggested that the message regarding drilling later has hit home with his growers and stated that even his ‘committed early drillers’ are now holding off until October. “It’s important that growers drill as late as they can with a variety that’s suited for drilling late, and in the best conditions possible. They mustn’t be mauling in the crop too late and in bad conditions. Keep seed rates up – we need an excellent seedbed when late drilling, then rolled and sprayed immediately, again in excellent conditions. “I always stress that farmers should keep a careful eye on the weather forecasts and have no more than five days’ drilling ahead of them when they start getting later into the autumn. As

inaccurate as they are when it comes to detail, a five-day forecast should show any worsening trends before they shut drilling operations down for the winter. So if you have 2,000 acres to drill, identify those fields that could be drilled earlier to lessen the later workload and consider gearing up and having two drills on the farm if necessary. “If you are serious about drilling late then you must have the kit to do the job – failing that, put some acreage into spring wheat,” he said.

Controlling black-grass whatever the weather Anyone dealing with black-grass probably has a mental list of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ seasons for weed control. There are several reasons why control varies year-to-year but autumn weather conditions are high on the list. “Autumn weather dictates when you drill and influences the activity of preemergence herbicides,” says Bayer’s Darren Adkins. “During autumn, you have to respond to conditions to maximise control because the weather is a rule unto itself. “Obviously, a wet autumn can make drilling wheat in the second half of October difficult, on the other hand dry conditions can reduce the efficacy of pre-em chemistry. What we are hoping for is the sweet spot with just enough moisture for herbicides to work and crops to establish well.” It’s quite easy to imagine what this ‘sweet spot’ is like because autumn 2016 had near perfect conditions for late drilling and herbicide applications across much of the country. Conditions were settled and quite dry but there was enough rainfall at the right times for crops and herbicides. The favourable conditions in autumn 2016 are demonstrated by results from Bayer field trials which report the best ever results for pre-emergence applied Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) in over a decade of trials.

Soil moisture Sufficient soil moisture helps maximise the efficacy of the flufenacet in Liberator. The active is taken in by the weed roots so soil moisture allows it to move throughout the germination zone. Another consideration is the residual activity of the herbicide; it continues to be active for a number of weeks. The exact time depends on the

temperature with warmer conditions promoting faster breakdown of the active. “With the shift to later drilling, it would be very unusual to have insufficient soil moisture for pre-ems to work in crops drilled in October, on top of that soil temperature should be cooler by then so the herbicide will give prolonged residual activity,” explains Mr Adkins. “But for people drilling wheat in September and in winter barley crops there is more of a risk of reduced herbicide performance because of dry soils.” The danger from dry soil is shown by results from the 2011/12 season. The summer and autumn was very dry (map top) and, as a result, Liberator performance (0.6-litres/ha at true pre-em timing) in trials was way below anything seen before or since. “2011/12 was an anomaly with unusual conditions as, apart from 2011, the level of control doesn’t vary that much year-to-year. Last season, was particularly good but not a massive leap from previous seasons. In many ways, the more interesting story is why do final black-grass levels vary so much after a successful pre-emergence programme?”

Different control The last two autumns both had good conditions for late drilling and residual herbicides in many parts of the country; however, the final levels of black-grass were very

different. On most farms, 2015/16 was a ‘bad’ year while 2016/17 was ‘good’ but the interesting thing is that autumn conditions and herbicide performance were very similar so the decisive factor came afterwards. Climate data (below) shows that winter 2015/16 was exceptionally mild with rain during the spring at the post-em timing. It seems that the warm winter was perfect for black-grass to continue to grow and outcompete wheat crops by tillering vigorously. Winter 2016/17 was what you might call ‘normally mild’; The summer and autumn of 2011 was very dry and, there were some frosts which as a result, pre-em herbicide performance in trials slowed black-grass growth, was way below anything seen before or since. and finished off some plants weakened by the herbicide, and in the spring crops tillered more vigorously which competed with blackgrass growth. But when the crop is drilled, we don’t know what winter holds in store so what can growers do to get the best control? “Whatever the conditions, the basic plan doesn’t change for dealing with black-grass – aim to drill after the main flush of black-grass then apply Liberator and any mix partners within 48 hours. If it’s dry, make sure there’s Climate data shows that winter 2015/16 was enough moisture for the exceptionally mild. residual to work and be wary when conditions are in our favour, we of repeated stale seedbeds that might can get good control.

Managing slug control in late-drilled wheats Wetter conditions and slower crop growth make good slug control crucial with later-drilled wheats; especially where they follow oilseed rape. But pelleting should be very much the last resort, believes a technical adviser. Although periodic cultivation can be very useful and mid-late October drilling gives more time for it, Agrii regional technical adviser Tim Horton (right), does not advise this approach either. Not least to avoid compromising the key purpose of delayed drilling in the first place – black-grass control. “A split-field slug monitoring study we ran several years ago clearly underlined the value of an extra cultivation in killing eggs and exposing adults to predation,” noted Mr Horton. “However, our Stow Longa black-grass technology centre work shows the best approach with late-drilled wheat is to cultivate early then move as little soil as possible ahead of, and at drilling. “In my experience it’s perfectly possible to reconcile these two apparently conflicting approaches with minimal reliance on pelleting. The twin keys to success here are effective trash and drilling management. Get these right and you’ve done a good 80 per cent of the slug control job.”

Surface trash Concentrations of surface trash simply have to be avoided, Mr Horton has no doubt. As well as maintaining the moist environment they need, rows of trash protect slugs and their eggs from predation by birds. So good straw, chaff and (with OSR) pod trash chopping and spreading is an essential first step.

Alongside this, he stresses the importance of early cultivation to both bury the trash and bring slug eggs to the surface to desiccate. “The depth of cultivation will depend on your soil type and condition,” he said. “The priority is to set up the ground to weather so you can create a seedbed from mid-October with the least extra soil movement, keeping as much black-grass as you can soundly asleep. “You may need an extra cultivation to achieve the trash incorporation you want and openup the clods that shelter eggs and adult slugs in heavy land. But if it’s necessary, do it early and at an angle to the first cultivation, then use no more metal until you drill.” While monitoring with nontoxic baits ahead of drilling can be beneficial in assessing slug risk, Mr Horton generally finds it unnecessary as, in most cases, the level of threat is highly predictable from the wetness of the soil, the amount of trash and the quality of the seedbed. “Monitoring can give you a false sense of security if conditions are on the dry side,” he pointed out. “Also, I like to avoid feeding pests wherever I can!”

Seedbed quality Alongside the most effective trash management, Mr Horton stresses that what you drill, the way you drill it and, most importantly, the

Tim Horton examines post-harvest oilseed rape trash.

quality of your drilled seedbed are all especially critical in late-drilled wheat slug control. “Two things matter above all else in this respect,” he insisted. “Limiting slug activity on the one hand, and boosting crop establishment on the other. “Firm, fine seedbeds do both. They seriously restrict slug movement to minimise both seed hollowing and surface grazing. And they maximise seed-to-soil contact and moisture retention so the crop grows away from the slug challenge as rapidly as possible. “Achieving them can be difficult at this time of the year, however. So you need to stay off the land until you can drill at an even 3–4cm into a seedbed without clods. With such a narrow weather window, it’s tempting to cut corners. But it really isn’t worth the risk. If conditions aren’t in your favour it’s best to hold

off and drill in the spring. “As conditions usually only make it possible to roll once after drilling, it’s vital to get this right too. Essentially this means rolling within two days of drilling and not too fast. Remember, the degree of consolidation you get depends on the time the roller is actually pressing down on the soil as much as its weight.” Mr Horton also recommends using good quality seed that has been vigour as well as germinationtested, treating it with Deter to reduce seed-hollowing and a manganese or nutritional dressing to encourage rooting, and providing sufficient available phosphate in the seedbed.

A last resort While he accepts that slug pelleting may be needed in many cases, he continued over...

Arable To ensure the pellets remain on the surface where slugs feed rather than being pressed into the soil where they can be wasted, he always advises applying them after rather than before rolling. “Late-drilled wheats are at particular risk from slugs,” he concluded. “Even so, if you get your trash and drilling management right, one pelleting may be quite sufficient and you may not need even this. Conversely, if your cultural controls are ineffective you’re unlikely to be able to solve your slug problems with any number of pellet applications.” ■

sees it as very much a last resort for highly targeted application to support the best cultural controls. He prefers either quality durumbased ferric phosphate or three per cent hybrid metaldehyde pellets for their balance of palatability, spreadability and longevity, pointing out that, used correctly, more environmentally-benign ferric phosphate should be no more expensive. And it will have to be used around every field this autumn with the new 10m non-pelleting zone under the metaldehyde stewardship guidelines.

Trash and drilling management are key for successful slug control, growers are advised.

Keeping pesticides in the ﬁeld Growers are being urged not to be complacent when it comes to metazachlor and quinmerac use this autumn, and to adopt good soil management practices to keep these active ingredients on the market. Representative of the Metazachlor Matters stewardship initiative Rob Gladwin (left) stresses the importance of adopting ICM techniques, given the issue of metazachlor and quinmerac reaching raw surface waters and at times exceeding drinking water levels. He says: “Unfortunately there’s no silver bullet when it comes to weed management, and significant weed problems won’t disappear overnight. As a result, there’ll always be a place for residual herbicides, but there are a limited number of alternative control products available. “Using a well-planned ICM strategy can lessen the need for unplanned herbicide use, and encourage activities on the farm that support the principles of the stewardship initiative. “Encouraging growers to apply metazachlor and quinmerac sensibly will help towards keeping these key actives on the marketplace for seasons to come. “That means using the correct dose rates of 750 and 250g/ha respectively for winter oilseed rape, and applying well in advance of the 1st October deadline for drained land in drinking water safeguard zones.” Independent adviser at Soil First Farming Steve Townsend (right) adds that what is good for soils is good for stewardship. He says: “The biggest influence we have on soil health is the provision of organic matter in the many forms of carbon it provides. Improving carbon levels can support crop establishment, particularly oilseed rape, by allowing the crop to grow fast and compete with weeds. “Good soil management can result in a much better tilth and seedbed conditions in the short term, allowing for improvements in residual chemical activity. And in the long term, better soil structure

facilitates soil stability and water infiltration which both help to keep the pesticide in the field. “Increased carbon levels can be achieved through implementation of ICM practices, such as reducing tillage or ploughing depth, which reduces carbon oxidation losses from the soil. “Organic matter, or carbon, in the soil should be considered like a bank account. You have to put more carbon in each year than you take out if you want to see your soil health and structure improve,” he says. ■

Clear on Clearﬁeld More Clearfield herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape varieties will have been planted this autumn than ever before. Dominic Kilburn finds out why. AICC agronomist in Northumberland, Jim Callighan (right), says that it’s an easy decision for some of his growers to select herbicide-tolerant Clearfield varieties as part of their overall oilseed rape variety choice. Without them, oilseed rape is a non-starter to grow on parts of their farms. Jim started advising farmers to grow Clearfield varieties five years ago when they first became available on the UK market. “We target their use on problem fields where charlock literally chokes out the crop and makes the growing of oilseed rape impossible,” says Jim, who adds that the use of Clearfield varieties to control fumitory is also useful. “On one of my farms here in the North, as much as one fifth of the OSR area is now down to Clearfield varieties due to problems with

1-25 ROP Sep.indd 20

weeds,” he points out. Initially he used varieties made available by breeders Pioneer and Dekalb, and now most of the major plant breeding companies offer Clearfield varieties as part of their portfolios. However, Jim believes that choosing a specific Clearfield variety is not the critical factor. “Typically these varieties will yield about 10 per cent less than the top yielding varieties on the Recommended List, but it’s the fact that it enables growers to bring land back into use with the crop that is the major benefit.” Clearfield herbicide comes in two post-emergence options; Clearanda (imazamox + metazachlor) and, more latterly, Cleravo, which is a metazachlor-free herbicide containing imazamox and quinmerac. Timing of application, says Jim, is when there has been a good

flush with weeds at the 2-6-leaves stage. Going later is an option but it’s always best to target the bigger, earlier flushes, he adds. “For me, Cleravo is the best choice as it broadens the spectrum of broad-leaved weeds controlled with the inclusion of quinmerac. I then go with propyzamide for the grass weeds later in the season, tank mixed with a fungicide. “Whereas when applying Cleranda there was less broadleaved weed control and the metazachlor post-em was ineffective against grass weeds, and so I still had to top up with propyzamide anyway,” he explains. “Clearfield does an excellent job on large charlock plants, fumitory, poppy, volunteer cereals and other weeds where there are very few other herbicide options available. “Also, if you grow HEAR OSR, it wipes out conventional rape volunteers preventing contamination,” adds Jim, who reminds growers that any Clearfield volunteers won’t be controlled by SU herbicides, although there are plenty of other autumn

residuals that will suffice. “Essentially, the agronomy for Clearfield varieties is the same as any other type; the same disease issues and harvest times etc., although they can be a bit leggy on fertile soils which is something to watch out for. “They have been a saviour for us in terms of growing oilseed rape and there are several newer varieties coming through from the breeders at the moment. “Ideally for the North would be a good Clearfield variety which also has club root resistance,” he concludes. ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE – EAST The testing harvest of 2017 has thrown up some interesting lessons, says Agrovista agronomist Craig Green. Harvest 2017 will be remembered for the awful weather that started in late July that caused many wheat crops to spoil. While we can’t change the weather, we can tweak some agronomic decisions to give wheat crops the best chance of weathering the harvest storms when they do arrive. Many of the Norfolk wheat crops have lodged to some degree, a legacy of storms that dropped up to 3in of rain in a few hours. Perhaps there has been some complacency with PGR programmes, understandable given the generally dry, cold spring and slow growth. But, with varieties scoring between 6–8 for lodging resistance without PGR on the Recommended List, how much have they been tested? That said, in most fields lodging is not widespread, but limited to overlaps and other prone areas following previous year’s muck

applications. This suggests we are, nutritionally speaking, pushing crops to the edge, without going over the top. Some serious lodging is due to over-early sowing of free-tillering varieties such as KWS Siskin. The variety has performed very well where it stood, where people followed clear advice from the breeder not to drill it before the beginning of October, preferably later.

Later slot Several new varieties are of interest to fill the later-drilling slots. There’s been a lot of interest in KWS Kerrin this year, joint highest yielding Group 4 wheat on the RL. Kerrin is flexible, can be grown on heavy or light soils as a first or second wheat. It will require a robust fungicide and PGR programme. It won’t suit early drilling due to its high tillering capacity.

Freiston, bred by Elsoms, is an early maturing, high yielding hard feed wheat, another very promising variety promoted to the 2017/18 Recommended List. It is very robust, with a high untreated yield. It looks to be an excellent later-drilled choice, especially on lighter soils after sugar beet. KWS Zyatt is still available. This Group 1 variety offers very high yields with a potential milling premium, and a good diseaseresistance package. And, in our variety trial at Long Sutton, it was the only one left standing. Established varieties offer growers the chance to farm-save seed, which can cut costs by £100–150/t even when treated with Redigo Deter (clothianidin + prothioconazole). I wouldn’t recommend homesaving seed from a crop already grown from farm-saved seed. However, seed bought in as C2 seed this time last year and kept clean from weeds makes an ideal opportunity to save some money. A Vitascope test or full germination test will reveal

viability. All samples tested before the weather delay have been around 96–97per cent. Put it over a gravity separator and ensure it is coated with a suitable seed dressing. Finally we need to be thinking of cereal pre-ems. Esme Shephard (below) has outlined our current thoughts on black-grass control. Fortunately, we don’t have too much in this area so our targets are slightly different. Herold (diflufenican + flufenacet) at 0.3-litres/ha takes out broadleaved weeds and annual meadow grass effectively. Anthem (pendimethalin) added to diflufenican boosts poppy control, which is becoming a concern on some farms. Where ryegrass is a problem, I’ll use Trooper (flufenacet + pendimethalin) and Defy (prosulfocarb) at full rate – the prosulfocarb seems to bring a good level of pre-em control to the party. *Craig Green is an agronomist with Agrovista, based at Great Ellingham, Norfolk (craig. green@agrovista.co.uk). ■

growth in the spring. I’ll be recommending Caryx at 0.5-litres/ha in leafier crops – it contains the specific growth regulator mepiquat as well as metconazole. Sunorg Pro, which contains metconazole only, but more of it, is a good option in less growy crops, applied at 100ml/ha per leaf stage, which also offers some early preventative disease control. Black-grass is now rife in this area and Avadex (tri-allate) is routine on many farms to complement the pre-emergence stack. Most growers have access to an Avadex applicator, so will use the granular form. It is worth getting the applicator tested to ensure it is spreading correctly. Forward speed should not exceed 8kph to maintain accuracy of application. The launch of a new liquid formulation of Avadex is good news for growers who don’t have access to an applicator. This is often where black-grass is less troublesome, although any black-grass present is likely to be herbicide resistant, having been

introduced from problem areas. I would recommend including Avadex as part of a zero-tolerance policy. Although the liquid formulation puts down slightly less active ingredient than the granules, to meet operator safety requirements, it will still be a very useful addition to the armoury. In all cases my pre-emergence stack will consist of Trooper (flufenacet + pendimethalin), plus Herold, which also contains flufenacet and adds diflufenican. I’ll also add Remix as routine. This is a long-chain paraffinic oil that reduces spray drift, improves spray deposition and increases adsorption to soil particles. That improves weed control and crop safety. In trials over the past few years, Remix has consistently added an extra few percentage points of control that can make the difference between reducing the seed return, or allowing it to increase. *Esme Shephard is an agronomist with Agrovista, based in Wiltshire (esme. shephard@agrovista.co.uk). ■

AGRONOMY UPDATE – WEST Extra options for weed control in oilseed rape and black-grass control in winter wheat could prove useful to some growers this autumn, says Agrovista agronomist Esme Shephard. Oilseed rape growers have a new early post-emergence weapon this season to control a range of problem broad-leaved weeds. Parish contains 320g/litre of phenmedipham, an active ingredient that until now has been restricted to sugar beet and related crops in the arable sector. It can be applied on its own at 1.1-litres/ha, or with the adjuvant Nelson, which improves efficacy, at half rate, reducing costs. Under the right conditions Parish will control chickweed, poppy, groundsel, field speedwell, cranesbill, red dead-nettle and shepherd’s purse. It must be applied when weeds are between cotyledon stage and two leaves unfolded and in bright sunny conditions when weeds are growing well. A water volume of 200-250-litres/ha applied through a medium spray is recommended to ensure good coverage.

Parish will be a useful addition where growers are reluctant to use pre-emergence protection, for example where flea beetle is a major problem, preferring to ensure adequate establishment before spending their money. It also looks a good option where seed has been broadcast and pre-ems cannot be used, or to top up poor pre-em control. It is also a useful pre-cursor to Clearfield herbicides where cranesbill is a problem.

PGR thoughts We will soon need to think about plant growth regulation in forward oilseed rape crops. As a rule of thumb, crops that exceed 25cm in height by mid to end of September should be treated, to reduce top growth and encourage root growth. This improves the crop’s overwintering capacity and helps promote strong early

a disastrous spring drought, we certainly aren’t complaining. There’s still a way to go. But, if the rain actually lets us harvest it reasonably, we’re pretty optimistic for our main wheat plantings. And the bulk of our spring crops look far better than we feared they might be in early May when many still hadn’t had a drop of rain since drilling.

The early start to combining means we have almost all the winter barley, rape and early-maturing wheats gathered-in as I write (in mid-August) despite another frustratingly damp harvest. This year won’t be setting any performance records. But in most cases it won’t be delivering any major disappointments either. Overall, our OSRs have been averaging comfortably over 4t/ha, our winter barleys around 8.5t/ha and our early wheats in the region of 10t/ha. After what could easily have been

OSR planting The early harvest, some decent moisture in the ground and little structural damage from harvesting

(so far) leaves us just where we want to be for our OSR planting. Knowing how rapidly conditions can change, though, we won’t be letting-up on establishment care, in general, and seedbed preparation and rolling, in particular. Not least because slugs could again be a serious challenge after a run of mild winters and the prospect of an unsettled September thanks to 11 days of scheduled international cricket! Having done us well this season, DK Exalte and Anastasia will be taking a good chunk of our 2017/18 area with extremely vigorous, Inv1035 figuring strongly. We’ll also be looking to tolerant varieties alongside liming discipline to counter the increasing problems we’re seeing with clubroot. The excellent performance we’ve seen from Take-Off means the rootboosting seed dressing will be a major element of our early OSR agronomy. As will a specialist starter fertiliser delivering availability-enhanced phosphate and boron as well as ammonium and nitrate nitrogen. Later wheat drilling for black-grass management is again high on our

agenda. Unlike further south, though, it’s likely to be mid- rather than lateOctober here. Mainly because autumn Hatra (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) applications are still giving us reasonable control – in marked contrast to spring ones – and very late drilling on our ground gives little, if any, chance of getting them on.

Consistent varieties Good consistent varieties like Graham, KWS Siskin and Dickens are central to our drilling plans – Graham for earlier drilling and Siskin and Dickens for the later slots. With milling premiums so meagre and feed wheats with much better disease profiles than the recent past, these barn-fillers are especially attractive. Because we’d rather risk having a poor spring crop than be certain of a winter wheat full of black-grass, where the weed is problematic even more spring crops are on the menu for us too.

Thhey pride themselvves on their individual, problem m sollving approachh to dealing with alternattive means of treating and dispoosiing of raw sew wage.

Wynnstay seed sales manager Richard Torr gives his overview in the West of harvest 2017 so far. After June’s hot spell, everyone expected an early harvest, but combines are at a standstill at the time of writing, leaving many waiting for the sun to appear to get underway again. There is a general theme of frustration, as growers are not able to get the crops off. However, there is still an anticipation of what harvest will bring. For those few locally that have been able to get something in the shed, the findings are positive and there are talks of exceptional yields. Hopefully, if the weather starts to behave, we should be on the verge of a decent harvest, but the clock is ticking.

Oilseed rape For most growers, OSR has done well, with yields averaging between 4.0–4.9t/ha in general. The conventional variety, Campus, has had a good year. It has performed well again, both on farm and in trials, and no doubt will be a popular choice for growers. Clearfield varieties are continuing to increase their market share, now making up 10–15 per cent of the market. No doubt this is a trend which will continue over the next few years. Hybrid varieties have also performed well this season, suiting the early, drier weather as they could really show off their characteristics of deep root growth to cope with drought. In a testing season, they have really delivered. However, despite this, there is an increasing trend for growers to still opt for a conventional variety, primarily to reduce seed costs/ha. Weather permitting, the relatively early start to harvest this year will provide growers with a good opportunity to drill OSR following winter wheat. There are a huge number of varieties to choose from, including many new names, but as the majority of OSR growers are content with crop performance this year, most seem to be sticking

with what they know for the bulk of the area. The early harvest is ideal for those who are looking to establish a ‘catch’ or ‘cover crop’. With the recently introduced restricted pesticides use on pulses when grown for EFA points under Greening, soil improvement crops are being seen by some as the best way to accumulate the necessary areas.

Wheats We’re still in the early days of the wheat harvest at the time of writing, but a few farmers have managed to get some of the crop in the shed. Again, the results are a mixed bag. Some growers are disappointed with the results, but some are achieving 10.0–12.5t/ ha, so we’re optimistic about crop performance once we’re into the thick of harvest. Graham, KWS Siskin, and the early maturing variety Grafton are all looking to lead the way in terms of yield, but it’s still too soon to comment on grain quality. There are some concerns about the quality of both milling wheat and seed wheat, due to the wet start in August. Fortunately, most crops are still standing and we have not seen the hot and humid conditions that encourage sprouting, so we are remaining optimistic. Yet again, soil type will continue to be a key driver for wheat crop performance. Those on the heavier, moisture retentive soils should do well and the general consensus is that growers are keen to get into the wheat crops and are expecting a decent sized harvest. For us seed processors, we’re just as impatient and frustrated as the growers to get seed into the plant. We were prepared to get the wheat in earlier than usual, but we need to see a serious improvement in the weather to get combines rolling again and get some wheat seed bagged and back on to farm.

Rural Advice

More joined up thinking for farms of the future Carter Jonas partner Mark Russell takes a look at the future of farming in this country and anticipates an increase in farm amalgamation and mutual co-operation.

Planning has long been the lynchpin of successful farm management and agricultural profitability. While some facets of the industry are short term in approach, we work with clients to consider 5-year and then 10-year plans. This provides a firm structure for the future and stability to safeguard against periods of flux. So what will farming look like in the next decade? While the technology we use may be similar to what is used currently, profitability will increasingly be driven by efficiency and specialisation. The industry has moved towards efficient uses of power and labour since the advent of agritech, while identifying a niche is a fundamental tenet of many businesses’ success. In addition, business profitability will be driven by yet further diversification – whether in skills or alternative uses of land, buildings and assets, as well as vertical integration. From a farming perspective, where one is growing a commodity, the emphasis will need to centre

around a reduction in costs and could initiate the emergence of agricultural collectives. While we currently consider a 400ha arable business to be a substantial operation, I anticipate a rise in thenumber of large businesses which amalgamate and streamline their operations.

Collaboration The good news is that this doesn’t necessarily signify wholesale industry job losses, but it will demand more joined up thinking. We can certainly foresee a dozen farms of 400ha each working together as a single conglomerate with individual farmers taking responsibility for staff, machinery, purchasing, selling, crop husbandry, environmental and grant management, land asset management, and diversification and business development. While this might sound like a surplus of management, 4,800ha could turnover upwards of £6m annually, and it will of course require the

investment of adequate time to make it work properly. Which raises a challenge: can you identify 4,800ha near you, which is currently managed by people with who you would happily work in partnership? By contrast, if you were asked to identify land that you would be happy to contract farm, the answer would be much easier. Perhaps the problem is not finding the right land or even the partners; perhaps we need to think beyond the limits of the status quo and consider a different approach beyond the current mind-set.

More managers If we were to scale up the above to 9,700ha, it would be easy to consider a farming enterprise of this size demanding a number of managers, each with a specific focus, whether business management, individual crop types, and so on. However for this to work, there would be a need to adopt a new way of thinking, replacing the norm with an even more focused business approach to farming, either by deploying each individual’s skills into running the business, or by contracting in those business skills to make it work.

Conversely, at the other end of the spectrum, where niche products are being sold, there could be greater emphasis on directly fulfilling customer demand to drive profitability. Perhaps the current debate around growth hormoneproduced beef or chlorine washed chicken carcasses entering the UK market will ignite even greater interest in, and lead to, a larger market for individual, farm-sourced meat. This would give customers greater transparency over the provenance of their food. Much in the way that vegetable boxes are now delivered in the manner of a traditional green grocer, perhaps we will see known source meat packs delivered in a similar way. Inevitably, the next 10 years will bring many opportunities for farmers looking to grow their business. To achieve this, there needs to be further separation of land ownership from farm business management (with various ways of achieving this), so that the farming business can completely focus on the issues impacting on profitability.

Tracks over wheels for woodland management company t The Deutz-Fahr Agroclimber 410F crawler clearing bracken in a 5-year-old woodland plantation. Supplying dealer RC Boreham & Co made up and fitted the forestry guarding. u“Tracks allow operation in sensitive land areas without making ruts,” said Stephen. “There is a trend toward more ecological woodland management and the crawler fits in well with that objective.”

Tracked tractors are popular on many farms, offering lower ground pressure and improved traction compared to wheeled machines. Of those in use, almost all have rubber tracks, but for one Sussex farm woodland and forestry management company, only steel tracks will do. David Williams reports. Stephen Judd trades as Independent Woodland Management and is based at Newick in East Sussex. He specialises in creating new woodlands as well as managing a portfolio of mature woods for existing clients across the south-east. “I particularly enjoy creating new woodland,” he said, “but a lot of my work is helping farms and estates manage existing woods to make the most of grants and annual payments available. The RHI grant has been a real stimulus to woodland activity in the UK. We do some thinning of hardwoods, coppicing and large timber work too and most of our work is within Kent, Surrey and Sussex but we also provide advice to land owners further afield.”

Helping generate returns Stephen said that although landowners tend to enjoy owning woodland it is often seen as a cost, but growing demand for biomass and timber means there can be a financial return for some of the costs involved if the enterprise is managed properly. “There are some useful grants available to improve and manage

n cle

woodland and these are proving successful in creating areas ideal for wildlife to flourish. They encourage investment and help offset costs of new plantations which otherwise take many years to provide a return.” Careful management of young woodland is needed, he continued, with trees taking three to four years to become self-supporting. “We tend to plant in curved 7ft rows and a narrow machine is needed for mowing and inter-row spraying. Mowing once a year in that environment is hard work so we require a compact but powerful machine.” Initially an articulated steer tractor was used. “We could swing the seat which was a useful feature for reverse mowing but it struggled in our working conditions and reliability was an issue so we looked for an alternative and decided tracks would offer benefits including the ability to operate in the winter when wheeled tractors would struggle. A brand new Same crawler was purchased in 2007, but the decision to buy it was made despite a fear that expensive track repairs could push up operating costs. In practise the tracks lasted almost seven years and when they were replaced complete with the crown wheels the cost was only £4,000, not much more than a decent set of tyres points out Stephen.

Limited options

S Working inches from fragile young trees the cabless tractor offers excellent visibility.

After eight years the Same was due for updating but a direct replacement was no longer available. Other options were considered, including a rubbertracked crawler with a cab but it was

expensive and less practical because although the cab would have been ok for plantations of very young trees, it would have been less suitable for mature plantations where branches overhang, and it was feared the rubber tracks would be susceptible to damage. “We struggled initially because although some manufacturers offer steel tracked models in other European countries, when we started discussing prices the dealers found that the machines weren’t actually available in the UK due to type approval issues so it is quite a niche market,” points out Stephen. “We found out that an equivalent model to the Same was now manufactured by Deutz-Fahr and were confident that if it was as well made, then it would be ideal for our needs,” he added. Stephen negotiated a deal for the supply of a Deutz-Fahr Agroclimber 410F with Matt Boreham of Essexbased main dealer RC Boreham & Co, including trading in the old machine which was sold on very easily, and the new crawler was delivered in late 2016. Its main tasks are operating a 1.4m mower, used for young woodland planations and woodland rides, and a 1.2m FAE heavy mulcher which tackles scrub up to 4in diameter. A hydraulic-driven front-mounted winch is fitted and used to extract timber and is handy for freeing the tractor if it becomes stuck on tree stumps. There is also a folding ROPs. “Some of our work is on the Sussex Downs and involves steep slopes but the crawler’s low centre of gravity makes it very stable while tracks make it more sure-footed than a wheeled machine,” commented Stephen. The machinery fleet also includes a conventional tractor, timber forwarder, wood chipper, sprayer, the mulcher and a mower and the company’s latest purchase is a tree shear for the timber crane, used mainly to tackle the increasing problem of rhododendron ponticum. “This has become an issue because it spreads across the woodland floor and harbours disease. In some circumstances Grant Aid rules prohibit the use of our mulcher to avoid

remaining residues so we cut and remove it for chipping or burning. The problem has grown to such an extent that grant funding is available for clearance and often sufficient to pay for the whole task.” Spraying is currently carried out using an all-terrain buggy mounted sprayer but the intention is to invest in a new sprayer with a larger capacity tank for the crawler. Since only the base of the trees is sprayed, just a single ground-level nozzle is used, but working away from reliable water supplies means transporting it to the work area. Stephen believes the operation will be more efficient if a larger rear linkage-mounted tank capable of holding a full day’s supply of water is used, as handling it is easily within the crawler’s capability.

Easy operation Unlike many rubber-tracked crawlers, the Deutz Fahr retains traditional lever-operated steering with each steel track individually braked. Operator Tim Woodhams said the machine is a pleasure to use. “The steering levers are light and positive but manoeuvrability is excellent,” he explained. “The engine speed is easily controlled and a handy two-speed memory button allows me to set continued over...

Operator Tim Woodhams says access for daily checks is good, despite the extra guards fitted for forestry use. A pull-out radiator screen makes it easy to clear debris such as grass seeds.

carrying out heavy work, we refuelled the 65-litre tank mid-afternoon,” he said, “but as well as the larger 98-litre tank the new model is significantly more fuel efficient. Filling is easy as there are two tanks; one on each side but connected by a tube, so we fill both through whichever of the two filling points is more convenient.” The low fuel consumption is partly due to the crawler’s efficiency of operation, believes Stephen. “Our wheeled tractor is 140hp, but the crawler carries out the same work with just 95hp,” he said. “Actual fuel use for a task is about half that of the conventional tractor.” Ease of daily servicing is also improved. “Thistle seeds can block the cooling radiator after a time, but whereas the radiator on the old machine had to be blown out using an air line, the new model has a removable screen which just pulls out, is wiped clear and re-inserted in a few minutes. Engine oil is checked with an easily accessed dipstick and transmission oil is checked at a glance using a sight glass at the rear,” explained Tim. Stephen and Tim agree that a big advantage, and factor in the machine’s reliability, is its simple design and lack of electronics. “This one has more electrical components than its predecessor but it is still pretty simple which suits us well. We both like it although one feature I would like to see is a reversible seat as the driver has to look behind during mulching as the tractor operates in reverse.” 09R21B

Stephen admits that the main downside to steel tracks is when the crawler needs moving between sites or returning to the dealer for service. “Travelling on estate tracks we are careful to avoid causing damage and for transport further afield we made the judgement that using a haulier is the easiest method.

working and turning speeds then alternate between the two by just touching the button at the beginning and end of each row. Visibility all around is very good which is what I need when working inches from young trees and, even during long working days of up to 10hrs in the summer, the track suspension and suspension seat keeps it comfortable. Noise levels are relatively low, partly due to the underslung exhaust which discharges to the left side through the track assembly. It’s not bad at all and if the weather turns very wet then I move on to jobs which require the conventional tractor with its cab. I very much prefer working without a cab anyway when possible as it allows me to be totally aware of the working environment.”

Heavy land beneﬁts from strip-till switch Being a mixed farmer is quite a juggle at the best of times. Throw into the mix the additional challenges of land distances, the extremes of sandy and heavy soils, managing a dairy herd and rearing beef cattle, then time efficiencies become even more of a priority. Alex Felgate in front of his 3m Mzuri ProTil 3T trailed drill with a dual hopper.

The appeal of significantly reducing seedbed preparation times and the promise of improved soil structure got Alex Felgate, of Tindall Farm – an average-sized mixed farm on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk – to look into one pass drilling. The business comprises two locations situated 14 miles apart; Tindall Farm near Bungay and Church Farm near Halesworth. The former is on generally lighter soils whereas the latter is on predominately high magnesium stiff clay. The main crops are maize, wheat, and barley, as well as some grassland, most of which are grown

for feeding the farm’s dairy herd with followers, and beef cattle. The farm also manages a herd of White Park cattle for the neighbouring Ditchingham Estate. Alex is a third-generation farmer with a business and law degree and fond memories of farming with his grandfather as he was growing up. The city failed to charm Alex and he returned to his roots 10 years ago where he is farming alongside his father, aided by two full-time staff. “We’ve always been a mixed farm which can be a juggle. In the past, we annually ploughed most crops which was time intensive, particularly on the heavy ground. Having such different soils, we had to be pragmatic about our timing and would often have to plough outside of the optimal window, with it being either too wet or too dry by the time we were ready to move onto the easier ground,” Alex explains. “I watched my neighbours strip-till for several years and so I found the idea of time efficiency really appealed, which got me investigating the options. We had a contractor drill 45 acres of wheat into some heavy clay with a 3m Mzuri. It took him less than a day and a half including rolling and it came up really well. The season before that, we spent nine days ploughing, twice with a power harrow, a spring tine and drilling to

plant some oats into the same field. “That’s a considerable time saving,” he stressed. Tindall Farm looked at a few strip-till drills and opted for the Mzuri Pro-Til. “The build quality is really high across the machine and it has a lot of innovative features,” says Alex. “What I like about it the most though is the front leg design which makes a lot of sense to us, particularly on heavy clay. You can change the front leg points to vary the level of tilth, from less disturbance with the narrow wing or no wing at all, to a wider wing set up to give the soil a bit of a lift and eradicate compaction when following a combine or a maize harvester and working in wetter conditions.”

Autumn drilling The business bought the Pro-Til 3T (Mzuri’s 3m trailed drill with a dual hopper) in winter 2016 well ahead of drilling the following autumn. “I did most of the drilling with the Pro-Til which meant my father could concentrate on the spraying more easily. We used the Pro-Til to drill all of our wheat, barley and beans which has really reduced the drilling window. The diesel bill was also notably lower. What’s more, the ability to complete our seeding in a fraction of the time enabled us to be more timely about the preem herbicide applications which is just as important to us as the cost savings. We can put the money we saved on diesel, steel and time towards an application of Avadex to help us keep on top of blackgrass for example, or a more robust fungicide programme if needed.”

Simple rotation The farm uses several rotations tailored to best suit the soil type. The simplest one is a two-year rotation of barley and maize which is typically used on sandier soils. The barley gets undersown with stubble turnips which are stripgrazed over the winter. Alex hasn’t switched to strip tillage 100 per cent yet as being a mixed farm presents challenges of its own: “We will need to keep ploughing at times for now as the overwinter grazed fields take a pummelling from the cattle. Hopefully, with time, as we gain more experience with the strip-till system, we may Winter wheat KWS Lili pictured in June this year and established by the strip-till drill.

be brave enough to go entirely one pass if conditions allow. “We anticipate doing increasingly less ploughing in future but while we do, we’re pleased with the way the drill copes with going into uneven crop stubble. The hydraulically pressurised coulters follow the contours of the ground beautifully, giving us very accurate seed placement and depth control. “Last year we sowed Belfry hybrid barley with the Mzuri straight into maize stubble which had been seeded conventionally. The establishment was really good which is vital with such low seed rates for hybrids. The previous maize crop was sown on narrow rows yet we didn’t encounter one blockage during drilling. “The fact that we were going into maize stubble after the harvester and the trailers was another reason why we wanted go down the strip-till rather than no-till route. The idea of the front leg on the Pro-Til creating seeding strips and eradicating compaction after the harvesting crew really appealed to us. It also creates better seed-to-soil contact which you don’t get with zero tillage in all situations and is more suitable for forage crops, so is really important. “Reconsolidation is also very good which makes life more difficult for the slugs,” he adds. “I consider our strip-tilled barley after maize a success and I am certain that I’ll be able to do it with the Pro-Til every year without a problem. We’re also going to try a three-year rotation of maize, oats and barley on some of the lighter soils which will all be strip-tilled. We have already given maize a go and drilled a few acres with the Pro-Til this spring. The crop went straight into the stubble and is looking really nice despite the dry conditions. The conserved moisture and 100kg/ha of DAP did a good job of getting the crop going. Weather permitting, I’d be happy to seed more of my maize in one pass now.” It’s the heaviest land at Church Farm, however, that sees the most benefit from the Mzuri. Alex observed that repetitive ploughing was seemingly making the blackgrass problem worse which was another reason for switching to strip tillage. continued over...

“We’re hoping that the Pro-Til will reduce the grass weed burden by not bringing new seeds up to the surface, as well as help to ‘tame’ the soil and improve drainage.” While some heavy land rotations may still involve the plough, others will be entirely strip-tilled. The farm is hoping to fully switch to onepass in the rotation of grass, wheat, beans and wheat. “We use one-year temporary leys in this rotation because they really suit the heavy land and are good for black-grass control. The plan is to take a cut of silage before the weeds are dropping seeds in May and then drill straight into

the Pro-Til into bean haulm. The fields have been flat lifted prior to drilling but we left the tramlines untouched. Interestingly, the crop between the permanent tramlines doesn’t look any different to the main bulk of the field which makes me think that the front legs on the Mzuri do a good enough job. “The wheat had been drilled with the Mzuri into spring beans and is looking good, too. We’ve got tall straw which, for a mixed farm, is as important as the grain crop,” he points out. “I think strip tillage is the way to go and can really work for mixed farms. We saved a huge number of tractor hours which allows us

the grass leys with the Pro-Till. It’s still early days for us with the drill but we’ve noticed that this year the crops are looking cleaner and we’re only seeing black-grass in the worst fields following oats. Our agronomist thinks that the drill is bound to have contributed towards this improvement.” Alex is pleased with the Mzuriestablished crops this year: “The beans are looking well podded even on the edge of the field, although a little wind-swept. The drill left a nice tilthy finish on the heavy land and the crop managed to hold onto moisture. “In the same rotation we have wheat which we drilled with

to be more timely and efficient. It also helps us to claw back some of the margins that have been lost to inflated input costs over the years. Establishing maize alone was £120/ha cheaper with the Pro-Til 3T compared with our ploughing, and we’re retaining moisture and improving the soil at the same time. Although we’re relatively new to strip tillage, we’re already seeing some positive changes including a reduction in black-grass and more earthworm casts.” This autumn, weather dependent, the farm is hoping to strip-till drill all of the crops with the Pro-Til including wheat, barley, oats and beans. ■

Because the film overlaps and protects the bale edges, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary to wrap six layers on the wrapping table which saves the amount of film needed.

Extra features for Claas round and square balers were announced at an exclusive press event in Germany. David Williams reports. Quadrants gain features For Claas Quadrant square balers an integrated weighing system has been added to the list of options. It is available for 2018 Quadrant 4200, 5200 and 5300 models and uses weigh cells below the rear bale ramp. Weighing is within +/- 5kg for each bale at speeds up to 20kph. Bale weight is displayed on the Isobus terminal in the cab and all weights are saved by job or area offering convenient record keeping for billing which is likely to appeal to contractors. Using Claas telematics it is possible to use bale weight data to generate total area yield and yield distribution by field with individual bale locations marked along with bale moisture content. New LED lighting packages are

also on the options list including seven lights on key working areas, including under the service hoods for ease of working after daylight hours. Another new feature which will be welcomed by those working long hours is a pull-out knife drawer. A new option on the Quadrant 4200, this feature is borrowed from 5200 and 5300 models on which it is standard. The knife drawer makes knife inspection and changing easier, with up to 70 per cent of the knife holder accessible from either side. Time needed to change a full knife set is reduced from an hour to approximately 15 minutes.

Wrap options increased A new combined net and film wrap system is an option for Rollant 455

pu The Rollant 455 Uniwrap offers wrapping with film or net. Wrap is easily loaded on to a pivoting roll ramp for transfer to the wrap holder and then an automatic feeding system provides quick swapping between net and wrap.

Claas product specialist for foragers, balers and green harvest machinery Dean Cottey believes updates to the baler range will prove popular with professional users.

Benefits promised by new transmission A product launch in Slovakia by Case IH featured new transmissions for the Quadtrac and Maxxum and updates to the Puma range.

Why CVT?

The press launch and demonstration of a brand new transmission for the Case IH Quadtrac was attended by Farmers Guide recently. David Williams reports. The Quadtrac celebrated 20 years’ production last year and has been one of the manufacturer’s biggest success stories, popular with large farms and contractors. More than 15,000 Quadtracs are working and, having had the market almost to itself for most of its life so far, in recent years it has attracted competition from several major brands. The launch of a revolutionary new CVT transmission promises to set the Quadtrac apart from alternatives on offer and is bound to be popular with users promising greater ease of use and improved productivity.

Purpose-designed The Quadtrac range includes five models from 550–650hp in two chassis sizes. Until now only powershift transmission has been available, but the new Agcom 4.0 CVT transmission, jointly developed by Case IH and ZF, is available on the three smaller models; the 470 CVX, 500 CVX and 540 CVX. The hydro-mechanical CVT transmission has four mechanical ranges, which change automatically, and drive through double clutches to maintain uninterrupted torque during changes, even at maximum pull.

Optimised performance Infinite speed control from 0–40kph forward and 0–18kph in reverse is available through the CVT box and the tractor is equipped with Case IH Automatic Productivity Management (APM) optimising engine and transmission settings for maximum efficiency while letting users set a target speed or required engine speed for a task. Maximum 40kph is achieved by the CVT version at just 1,650 engine rpm, down from 2,200rpm on powershift models.

Features aid user A new feature available through the new transmission is Active Hold, allowing the tractor to remain stationary on a hill without the foot or handbrake applied. Activated by pressing the clutch pedal, the feature is handy for pulling away from junctions on inclines for example, and if the tractor remains stationary for more than 45 seconds then the park brake is automatically applied. Because the transmission constantly adjusts for best performance the standard foot throttle, which usually controls engine revs, becomes a drive pedal,

The 540 CVX, with up to 613hp, becomes the world’s most powerful CVT-equipped tractor.

of use, particularly during headland turns and heavy cultivations where stepless shifting avoids the jerkiness of a powershift as it adjusts to suit the load. For tasks such as drilling where the ability to maintain a precise speed is essential the CVT box offers the greatest advantages over powershift, but Case IH engineers acknowledge that for the heaviest draft tasks the better mechanical efficiency of powershift could be an advantage, which is part of the reason that the two larger Quadtracs don’t currently have the CVT option.

The Qudtrac CVX retains the same control layout as standard Powershift-equipped machines but the foot throttle becomes a drive pedal, used to set travel speed while the engine speed and transmission ratio adjusts automatically to optimise efficiency.

used purely to control ground speed. Maximum speed can be adjusted by a thumb wheel and speed range buttons, and up to four virtual ranges can be set, allowing precise speed control by small increments.

Impressive performance The demonstration included an opportunity to try out the new transmission on the road where the most impressive feature was its response and ease of operation. Case IH product engineers explained that the new CVT transmission offers only slightly reduced mechanical efficiency compared to the fully mechanical powershift unit and an acceleration run from standstill to 40kph in just over 11 seconds appeared to confirm this, with time saved by avoiding gear shifts. Internal range changes are barely noticeable and the transmission is incredibly smooth. Travel speed changes were dealt with effortlessly with immediate response from a press on the drive pedal. When target speed is achieved the APM keeps an eye on engine revs, reducing them as far as possible to save fuel, and all this occurs without any operator intervention. The new CVT is very impressive. Owners will appreciate its ability to constantly select the optimum combination of engine speed and gear ratio for the task to save fuel while operators will enjoy the ease

“CVT popularity for conventional tractors is increasing,” explained Case IH product marketing manager for Steiger and Quadtrac in the UK, Paul Freeman. “We offer it as an option on Magnum tractors, and almost 90 per cent of those sold in the UK have it fitted. I am frequently asked by potential and current Quadtrac users about its availability for the range as they have it already on their Pumas and Magnums and see it as an obvious upgrade for Quadtrac too.” Paul said that speed matching is one of the biggest benefits of CVT over Powershift. “It’s an opportunity to improve productivity,” he said. “We have superb torque back-up on the Quadtracs but with a powershift transmission the APM system can only increase or decrease the amount of diesel injected to vary engine speed and power, or change the gear ratio to keep as close as possible to the target ground speed. For large-scale planting and drilling where the best results are from precisely maintaining the target speed CVT is unbeatable, but there are also considerable productivity benefits from the system’s ability to constantly optimise gear ratio and speed during transport, light and heavy cultivations and even when turning on the headland.” He added that advantages for transport include stopping and starting using only the brake and drive pedals. “Pulling up to a junction and just pushing the brake pedal or pulling back the joystick, then pulling away again with just a push on the drive pedal or stick, with no gear selection or changes to make is a big improvement for the operator. There is no concern over stalling and the operator has only to watch the road,” he said.

Testing market Asked how availability of CVT on the three smaller models will affect overall range sales, Paul commented continued over...

...from previous page

that historically the largest 620 has been the most popular variant and this is likely to remain the case. “The Quadtrac 620 is ideally suited to the heaviest field tasks and its performance is superb, including excellent efficiency,” he said. “The 540 CVX might take some sales from the Quadtrac 580 where customers identify benefits from CVT which will compensate for the slight reduction in power, but having said that, we do recognise that the new Quadtrac CVX models represent an opportunity for sales growth in the high horsepower sector of the market. For the future; if the new transmission proves as popular as we expect, we would hope to eventually offer it on larger models too, but as this would have to be a larger unit to cope with the

extra power, this won’t be for the foreseeable future.” News regarding its introduction has already created considerable interest. “Dealers and customers are keen to try it in the field to see how it performs and we are confident the extra productivity will be immediately apparent and benefits for the farm business will be quickly identified, justifying its increased cost. Add to this that in future we expect retained value to be higher and it makes a lot of sense,” he said. First production of the Quadtrac CVX will be from late 2017 and prices have yet to be confirmed. Early indications are that the CVT option will attract a premium of between £26K and £36K over powershift and Case IH suggests the 8–9 per cent premium is in line with extra charged for CVT generally within the industry.

Maxxum updates

The Quadtrac’s ability to turn tightly without causing ridges on the headlands is a major advantage over twin-track machines points out Case IH.

A new 8-speed semi-powershift transmission; ActiveDrive8 has been added to the range of options for the popular Maxxum series tractors. The Maxxum range includes models from 116–145hp and appeals to livestock, mixed and smaller arable farms so there are many potential applications. Established ActiveDrive 4 and CVX (renamed CVXDrive) transmissions

The Maxxum has gained a new transmission option which will appeal to those carrying out arable tasks.

remain available, depending on model, but ActiveDrive8 is likely to prove popular for those wanting maximum flexibility for yard and field work but who can’t justify the extra performance and cost of CVT. Available only for MultiController (MC) models the fully mechanical ActiveDrive 8 transmission includes a double clutch arrangement, similar to that used in CVT transmissions, to maintain constant drive through gear changes. Three groups of eight powershift gears provide 24 ratios forward and reverse. Typical field operating speeds 4–18kph can be achieved at maximum engine speed without any torque interruption and 90 per cent of working speeds are covered by the B-range, which offers 1.65–18.09kph while A-range is intended for heavy draft work up to 12kph.

Automatic modes aid users There are two automatic modes to suit field and road, the road mode designed to start off in range three and shift automatically through all 16 gears in the top two ranges, while a skip function allows quicker progress through the ratios under lighter loads. A kick-down feature provides brisk acceleration when needed, for example during overtaking. In field mode, automatic shifting through any set of eight gears is available. The MultiController armrest and joystick provides transmission operation via thumb-operated powershift and power-shuttle controls, and engine speed control and operation of electronic remote valves is all conveniently to hand. A new feature available in field mode is an automatic engine speed

Another new feature is the ability to set different travel speeds for forward and reverse through the power shuttle. Ideal for loader work these are activated through the Multicontroller joystick.

Comfort and efficiency

ActiveDrive8 transmission is available only on MC models.

‘droop’ setting which allows the engine revs to drop by 30 per cent before a shift down is initiated to save fuel. There are also new operator aids available through the new transmission. These include inching for precise speed control, for hitching up implements for example, which is available just by depressing the brake pedal; A brake to clutch function means the clutch pedal isn’t needed for stopping at road junctions or for loader work and shifting and shuttle aggression can be adjusted to suit the application; Smart range shift provides speed matching for transport, with the system automatically jumping gears when appropriate while shifting ranges.

Operator comfort in the new Maxxum is improved with the availability of front axle and cab suspension and a choice of three seat specification levels. With GPS autosteer fitted, a new function available through the AFS700 screen is Accuturn. This saves wasted time during headland turns by completing the manoeuvre through the minimum travel distance possible. Reactive steering is a new option, improving driver comfort on the road by returning the steering to centre after a turn. Adaptive steering, set up through the AFS-700 touch-screen, reduces the number of steering wheel turns required from 3.5 lock-to-lock, to 1.25 and is a feature not widely available in this power segment, points out the company. New styling, bringing the latest Maxxum into line with larger models in the range, includes Optum-style headlights and provides space for a larger fuel tank which will be

welcomed by those taking advantage of the new transmission for field work. Availability of the new models is from late 2017, and by mid-2018 the range will also include a new Maxxum 150 CVX 175hp 6-cyl CVT flagship.

Puma updates Also announced at the event were updates to the Puma range. The most significant of these is new front axle suspension for Puma 185 MC models up to the Puma 240 CVX version. Gross vehicle weight allowances have increased from 13,000 to 13,650kg on Puma MC variants and to 14,000kg on CVX models. Adaptive steering control is a new option, set up through the AFS terminal and allowing three pre-set

options or a custom setting. Reactive steering is also new for the Puma, offering a sharper reaction and self-centering after turns. Puma MC and CVX models with Class 3 Isobus are available with 2-way data transfer between the tractor and a compatible implement. This brings in the ability to control implement features via the AFS 700 screen and allows the implement to feed back to the tractor operational information to control tractor settings such as forward speed. Outside, new colour-coded remote valves allow faster implement coupling by allowing the operator to more quickly identify which valve at the rear corresponds with which switch or lever in the cab. ■

Sale prices beneﬁt from quality lots and a weak pound

A farm machinery sale organised by Dorset-based auctioneer Symonds & Sampson, on behalf of contractor Chris Roberts, was well attended and achieved some excellent prices for the vendor. Chris Roberts’ contracting business was based at Compton Valence, near Dorchester, Dorset and specialised in grass harvest operations, principally producing haylage for supply to the equine market as well as some straw bales. The fleet of modern machinery included premium brands and its offering at the sale resulted from Chris ceasing contracting operations due to poor health. The sale day weather was overcast and murky at the venue, which is 600ft above sea level, but good attendance

Good attendance included local farmers and trade as well as Irish machinery dealers.

included many Irish bidders along with enthusiastic telephone bidders from Europe, attracted by the favourable exchange rate. Local trade buyers and farmers were also keen to find out what was available and helped achieve a good result. The Deutz Fahr tractor was a sale highlight; bought by a Devon farmer, its price pushed up by a Dutch underbidder, and it eventually sold for £53,500. Both Claas tractors also sold well, bought by a Claas main dealer from Ireland.

The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 190 C-Shift was new in 2014 and had worked just 1,250 hours. With a 50kph transmission and front axle suspension it also had air brakes, front linkage and PTO and a hydraulic top link. It was equipped with Isobus and was on Continental tyres, 650/65R42 rear and 540/65R30 fronts. A Devon farmer bought the tractor for £53,500, the price pushed up by a Dutch under-bidder and the successful bidder also purchased the McConnel PA6565T hedge trimmer with telescopic arm and electronic controls (inset) for £11,700. Tractors on offer included a Deutz-Fahr and two Claas. All sold well.

One of the two Claas Arion 650 Cebis tractors on offer. Both were new in 2016 and were fitted with loader brackets. Identical specification included 50kph transmission, front axle suspension, air brakes, front linkage and PTO, three spools, Isobus and 650/65R38 rear and 540/65R28 front tyres. One had worked 1,350 hours and the other 1,800 hours. Prices achieved were £50,200 and £50,100 and the loader, sold separately, made £2,500.

Tractor range extends Deutz-Fahr is adding three new 4-cylinder models to its existing 6 series 6-cylinder tractor range. All models in the range now feature higher permissible weights and a longer wheelbase for improved stability and a comfortable driving performance. The 156, 164 and 171hp Deutz TCD 4.1 4-cylinder engines comply with the requirements for emissions stage IV. The new engines are said to offer a hefty starting torque and high torque reserves across a wide speed range. Three transmission variants are available, from the simple manual 5-speed powershift with six forward

powershift stages and three reverse stages and the newly-developed fully-automatic RCshift gearbox to the efficient TTV transmission for continuous driving and working from 0–50kph. For all transmissions, the maximum speed is achieved at a reduced engine speed to save fuel. On the RCshift models, the top speed of 50kph is reached with only 1,530rpm. Also notable is independent suspension on the front axle, which is equipped with an anti-dive and anti-rise control and a booster brake system, ensuring maximum traction and safety. The hydraulic system has been

adopted from the 6-cylinder models. The standard pump capacity is 84 litres/min on the basic models, with an LS system The 4-cylinder 6 series. with the capacity equipped with up to four hydraulic of 120 litres/min on the higher-spec outlets and an Isobus interface at the models, with the options of 160 or front.

Event marks start of new association Rea Valley Tractors (RVT) becomes a Kuhn main dealer as of 1st September, although the two firms worked together for the first time on 1st August at a demonstration event. This was held at Lynn, near Newport in Shropshire, where John Deere’s new tractor range was launched, working with a selection of Kuhn machinery. Visitors to the event were able to see Kuhn’s Espro 4000 R minimum tillage drill, as well as the company’s newest cultivator, the Prolander 7500, which is suitable for shallow stubble cultivation and deeper seedbed preparations. For those needing equipment to loosen compacted soils or plough pans, Kuhn’ Performer deep-working cultivator range was also on display. With two rows of front discs to cut through straw and roots, and four rows of tines to mix and loosen soil, the Performer is able to incorporate crop residues in a single pass. Kuhn’s tine stubble cultivator, the Cultimer L5000 was also being shown at the event, as were the mounted Optimer+ 503R and trailed Optimer+ 50003R disc stubble cultivators. Kuhn products will be supplied from all four of RVT’s depots covering Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Mid Wales.

An age of Discovery Attend any agricultural event and the chances are that the car park will feature a large number of Land Rover Discoverys. The latest all-new version has attracted its fair share of comment from potential and early users so Farmers Guide spent a week finding out if it’s as good as Land Rover claims. David Williams reports. Changing the iconic Discovery shape which has become such a common sight on UK farms was always going to be controversial, but Land Rover has put a lot of effort into smoothing the edges and rounding off the corners making the Discovery 5 blend with its Discovery Sport and Range Rover stable-mates. Key performance statistics had to be retained including extreme off-road ability, towing and load carrying capacities and an ability to transport up to seven adults in relative comfort. The new Discovery range starts from £43,995 and official specifications suggest performance standards have been maintained and even improved upon. The established V6, 3.0-litre diesel engine and well-proven 8-speed automatic transmission continue to be available, but new 4-cylinder 2.0-litre 240hp diesel, and V6, 3.0-litre 340hp

petrol engines are new options. Five months after UK dealers launched it to customers, feedback from some of those serving agricultural users suggests farmers updating from previous Discoverys won’t sacrifice the smoothness of the V-6, while many moving from other brands are opting for the 4-cylinder. For our test Land Rover supplied the top-of-the-range HSE Luxury specification with the 6-cylinder diesel engine. Standard equipment is comprehensive including 4-zone climate control, electric folding second and third row seats controllable from a phone App, cooled and heated front seats, a surround camera system, ‘gestureoperated’ tailgate and a large touchscreen. In case we became bored there was also a massage system for both front seats (very effective), plus second and third row heated

The interior is well finished and practical and the large touch-screen makes it easy to access and set up most comfort and operational functions. The test car had head-up display through which the speed and sat-nav directions appear on the windscreen in direct view of the driver, avoiding the need to squint at the new smaller speedometer while driving.

seats, a head-up display, park assist, television, an electric deployable towbar, plus several other features taking the price to £76,400, optional extras making up more than £12,000 of the total.

Comfort There is no doubting the new Discovery’s more comfortable interior. Every inch of space is well utilised and leg and knee-room is better in all three rows. The old Discovery had leveroperated seat folding which worked perfectly well, but new electric folding adds convenience and saves time, and will be appreciated by those who previously waited outside in the rain while seats were adjusted one at a time.

Occupants sit lower in the new vehicle and it feels larger inside. Taller drivers will appreciate considerably more legroom and the steering wheel has plenty of adjustment for drivers of all heights and sizes. All available spare space has been allocated for useful storage. Everyone who travelled in the test vehicle commented on how quiet it was, compared to the previous model. Land Rover’s engineers have done a great job with the soundproofing and, even at higher engine revs off-road, chatting was possible at normal volumes.

Performance and handling As usual for a Farmers Guide testdrive, time was spent off-road on continued over...

The boot is cavernous but a new single, top-hinged tailgate makes access more difficult than before. Rear end styling attracted few fans during the test week. ...from previous page

farm tracks and fields, and on a mix of roads. A frustrating tendency of the previous model was the time taken occasionally for it to decide which gear to select in some situations. Applying accelerator pressure suddenly after decelerating, to take advantage of an overtaking opportunity for example, resulted in a burst of engine rev but a brief period while nothing else happened until drive was taken up and it accelerated. This also occurred at road junctions when pulling away rapidly as a gap in traffic became available. Despite being the same basic engine and transmission, the new Discovery’s management system handles these situations more quickly and competently making it much smoother. Handling on-road is superb. The new Discovery has less body roll and feels more secure at speed on winding roads. Off-road, the same Terrain Response system as before is used to select the appropriate mode to suit the driving conditions

and adapts the transmission and suspension to suit. After selecting ‘raised’, for maximum body clearance the old model automatically selected ‘normal’ height if speed exceeded 30mph but the more stable new model travels up to 50mph before the body lowers. Traction off-road is just as good as before. Farm tracks were handled easily allowing the negotiation of deep, slippery ruts with ease.

Practicality Folding the third row of seats provides generous rear load space but with the second row of seats folded as well, a large expanse of flat floor becomes available. The touchscreen can be used to configure all seats individually; selecting the seat menu produces a display of all the seats. Select ‘fold-all’ and the second and third row seats fold or unfold as one, but just don’t forget the packed lunch/bouquet of flowers left on the rear seats before pressing the fold button. Buttons in the boot and by the rear doors can also be used.

The previous horizontal split tailgate was popular and practical, allowing heavy farm items to be loaded by forklift and taller users to stand straight as they placed luggage or sacks inside. The new Discovery’s single top-hinged tailgate prevents a forklift getting close, and taller users have to bend while loading heavy items. For most farm users the old arrangement was preferable. Trailer towing capacity remains at 3.5t and an electrically deployed towball extends from under the vehicle at the touch of a button. A new feature is height adjustment for the vehicle’s rear end. Operated by a pair of buttons in the boot, the user can deploy the towball and then raise or lower the vehicle, making it easier to attach or release the trailer hitch.

those commenting on the car during the test week expressed a strong dislike for its rear end styling. Like the previous model its left and right sides lack symmetry but, whereas the old model gets away with it for its functionality, it just doesn’t seem to work on the new version. Also, the new single-piece rear tailgate; for the designers of such a practical vehicle to opt for an update which makes it difficult to fully utilise the huge boot capacity seems strange. Land Rover’s Discovery is still a great vehicle but some of its new features will take a while to get used to. ■

Verdict It’s hard to argue against the new Discovery’s better handling and comfort compared to the previous model and given the choice for a long journey most would choose the new version. Both are equally capable off-road although small scrapes and dents are going to show much more on the latest rounded luxury body panels. But what happened to the new Discovery’s rear end? Without exception

The towbar is electrically deployed using buttons in the boot. The rear control panel also includes adjustment for rear end height, and seat folding.

Dealer believes the future’s orange Kubota UK is announcing what it calls an exciting partnership that sees the launch of K Farm Machinery, a brand-new independent dealer that will supply Kubota’s complete agricultural range in Cheshire and North Wales. K Farm Machinery is investing significantly to launch its new branch at Higher Whitley near Warrington, due to be officially opened later this year. The dealership is being launched by Andrew Dutton and Steve Sykes, who both have extensive experience and knowledge of the local agricultural market. Steve says: “Both Andrew and I are extremely proud of the excellent reputation we’ve developed for our service and support. “Joining forces with Kubota UK is all about taking this on to the next level. “The feedback we’ve already had about our partnership with Kubota has been extremely positive. Farmers know that Kubota is here to stay in the agricultural market. We need to help farmers make the transition to orange tractors and highlight the added value that Kubota can offer them. “The M5001 and M7001 tractors, in my opinion, are as good as anything else on the market so it’s critical we can demonstrate this to potential customers.” K Farm Machinery’s branch will include a showroom, stores and a workshop. Accompanying Andrew and Steve will be Stewart Whitlow, who will be the dedicated Kubota salesperson, and Jez Karkos, a qualified Kubota service engineer. With the region being a key dairy area and farmers typically using 100–120hp loader tractors, Kubota believes its M5001 series will be well-suited.

Welsh dealer appointment Leading Welsh-based dealer JE Rees & Sons, which covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, is now supplying Kubota’s complete range of agricultural tractors. It will also offer Kubota’s RTV utility vehicles and grassland implements which were introduced earlier this year. Now in its 50th year, JE Rees & Sons is a family-run business with depots at Drefach Velindre and Llandovery covering the mid and eastern regions of Wales. Partner Marc Rees says: “The extensive agricultural range Kubota has at its disposal is very appealing to us, and our customers will now

Doing the splits Firewood is a readily available source of cheap heating for many farms and estates, but its preparation for use can be time consuming and hard work. David Williams exchanged his axe for a selection of the latest log splitters to see how they perform. Google log splitters and it produces a long list of makes and types, from entry-level base specification to space-age designs with all sorts of automation but for the Farmers Guide group test we asked the advice of four major UK suppliers, all of which are experienced in the agricultural market. With tractors providing a readily available source of power, we asked them to lend us one tractor-mounted model popular with farmers from each of their ranges, and our test contained versions costing from just over £700 to almost £5,400. The suppliers were Spaldings, Wessex, Marshall and Ryetec, the latter two specialising in forestry equipment and supplying professional models suitable for frequent heavy use. Spaldings and Wessex products

are available through many agricultural distributors and their log splitters are keenly priced and often held in stock by dealers during the autumn, making them popular sellers. Two of the splitters came with standard spool valve connectors, ready to accept hydraulic power from almost any modern tractor, but the other two came with optional PTO-driven pumps, allowing use with tractors of any age with PTO drive and rear linkage. Since very little power is needed, even older, classic tractors could be used, saving wear and tear on the modern tractor fleet.

Typical tractor For the test, Farmers Guide borrowed a brand new Claas Atos 340 tractor to power the splitters. With 102hp and hydraulic flow rates up to 60-litres/

Four tractor-mounted log splitters were tested by Farmers Guide, from entry-level models for occasional use to professional versions with capacity to keep a village supplied.

min it had way more power than was needed, but is a good example of a typical tractor available on UK farms and its eco PTO setting reduced operating noise and saved fuel while its superb manoeuvrability proved ideal in tight working areas. A local estate provided an

unlimited source of freshly cut wood removed during recent ditch clearing. Larger oak logs had already proved a considerable challenge during attempts to split the damp wood by axe. It was anticipated that the progressive hydraulic splitting action would prove more effective.

Spaldings 14t Hydraulic Log Splitter, £706.73 Splitting force: 14t Log capacity (length x diameter): 600mm x 400mm Max weight 45kg Tractor mounted: 3-point linkage Cat 1 & 2 Hydraulic flow: 1–50-litres/min, maximum pressure 2,500psi The Spaldings splitter arrived in kit form, requiring the linkage cross arm and top link assembly to be attached as well as the spool valve actuator linkage and levers, hydraulic hoses and safety shield.

heavy logs. A cradle frame each side of the beam supports large or uneven shaped logs and is effective. The large splitting head is well designed. A gradual taper allows it to penetrate the log, followed by a more aggressive angle forcing the wood to split. The push plate is a good size with protruding grips holding the log in position. Like the other splitters, the Spaldings machine requires both hands to be on the controls before splitting can take place and a simple guard prevents single-handed use, and the opportunity to place hands in the splitting area.

Two levers, one either side of the top guard, are pushed forward and held for the ram to extend. When these are released travel stops and when they are pulled back the ram automatically and fully retracts, allowing the next log to be loaded. The splitter is efficient, and there is little of a reasonable size that it won’t handle. Work rate is moderate, but the low beam height means split logs quickly accumulate to interfere with the splitting process and require frequent clearing. The low beam height makes loading heavy logs easier but continued over...

Simple controls. Twin levers either side of a guard prevent one-handed operation to ensure safety. The top linkage mount was a weakness, and suitable only for moving around the yard.

becomes an issue during extended use as the operator is bent low over the splitter for loading, unloading and while operating its controls.

Transporting The three-point linkage mounts are adequate for low speed movement around the yard, but lack strength for transport between work areas. We resorted to a trailer to move the splitter from site to site.

Verdict Great value for money. Reasonable build quality, apart from the linkage mounting frame, and simple but effective controls. This splitter will suit users needing a capable splitter for occasional use and its low price makes it easily justifiable. Knotty logs were handled with ease.

Wessex HLS-100 Horizontal Logsplitter, £1,155 The Wessex splitter arrived fully assembled; including its handy hinged discharge chute used to guide split logs directly into a store or trailer after processing.

Splitting force: 10t Log capacity (length): up to 450mm Tractor mounted: 3-point linkage Cat 1 & 2 The Wessex splitter is well designed and an ideal working height.

Mounting to the tractor It is easily mounted to the tractor's rear linkage. The hydraulic hoses supplied have standard spool pushin connectors. A built-in spool valve, operated by two hand levers, is used for control.

In use

The discharge chute can feed split logs into a shed or trailer saving double handling and keeping the working area clear.

The well-designed frame provides waist level operating height without adding excess weight. The small ram’s quick travel speed allows high work rates even with low hydraulic flow supply. There is sufficient force for most logs, although knotty logs can be more of an issue. The splitting head is small but well shaped and splits most logs first time. The discharge chute proved useful allowing logs to be loaded directly into a link box for transport from the field. This helped keep the work area clear of tripping hazards and also saved bending down to pick up the split logs. Both operating levers are pushed forward to extend the ram and pulled back to retract it to load the next log. There is no automatic

The small ram gives a fast work rate and the linkage mountings were adequate for transport over short distances. The twin-handles ensure safe operation but the lack of automatic return slowed the loading process.

return so the operator has to hold the levers through both directions of travel but, with experience, the user can take advantage of this to retract the ram only as far as necessary for the next log, saving time.

Transporting The linkage mounts and frame are sufficiently strong for local transport around the farm and can cope with rough tracks. For higher speed road travel or longer distances a trailer was used during the test. The frame shape and height means two people can move it. continued over...

Verdict The Wessex HLS-100 is well made with a practical design and offers reasonable work rates although the lack of automatic ram return after splitting was a source of frustration.

The splitter handles large logs but is best suited to those up to 30cm diameter. The working height is ideal most of the time, but requires extra effort lifting larger logs. The discharge chute works well, saving time and effort collecting split logs

from the ground. It isn’t perfect and logs need pushing along by hand occasionally, but for those working single-handed it’s a simple and costeffective solution, making operation easier. The splitter is easily moved

around the estate, and will suit those with firewood to prepare in multiple locations. Value for money is good, the cost is easily justified, and the Wessex splitter is ideal for those using moderate quantities of firewood.

Binderberger H8 Kombi, £1,850 as tested Splitting force: 8t Log capacity: length up to 110cm Tractor mounted: Cat 1 & 2 Power from auxiliary PTO pump

The Binderberger H8 Kombi has only an 8t splitting force, but easily outperformed the two cheaper machines splitting more challenging logs.

Imported by Marshall Agricultural Engineering, the Binderberger range includes vertical, horizontal and cone splitters with splitting force 6–40t. Selected for Farmers Guide’s test was the H8 Kombi with optional PTO drive, also available using hydraulic power direct from the tractor from just £1,500, or with a Honda petrol engine or mains-powered electric motor driven pump. While 3-point linkage is an advantage for moving the splitter around, it can also be used

free-standing. This means logs can be split under cover, while a tractor stands outside providing the power. The compact machine is extremely well made and weighs in at 245kg, but it comes with durable solid transport wheels allowing movement by hand and the 3-point linkage mounts make it easy to transport between sites by tractor.

Mounting to the tractor The 3-point linkage mounts are strong and well designed offering plenty of adjustment to match tractor size and arm spacing. The pump close-mounts direct to the tractor PTO shaft and a steel arm extends out from the pump flange for securing by chain to the rear of the tractor. Plenty of hose length allows pump connection before the lift arms, a help if space is tight. Hydraulic oil in an on-board tank means no additional hydraulic power or supply is needed.

In use

Well-designed clamps hold logs in position until the splitting head takes over. The two integrated control levers are easy to use.

The splitter is easy to set up and use. The standard full width table allows work at waist height and a tapered front edge makes it easy to slide on heavier logs. Two hand-controlled clamps incorporate guards and operating levers and pivot at the rear,

behind and to the side of the splitting head. When the log is in position the operator clamps it and presses the two levers simultaneously to split it. Serrated edges hold the wood securely, and are especially useful for odd-shaped logs which won’t stand upright without support. Pushing both levers down brings down the splitter head and releasing either lever stops the action. Releasing both levers raises the head fully out of work. The splitter is superbly made and very easy to use. Splitting speed is quoted as 11cm/second with return to the raised position at 60cm/second, allowing logs to be chopped as quickly as they can be loaded. When logs of consistent length are being split, the head can be set to rise only as far as necessary during each cycle, saving time wasted by unnecessary ram travel. A handy log stand is provided for cutting longer sections up to 1m. Lengths are stood on the base plate and split until the head reaches maximum travel then the splitting head is raised, lifting the half split wood with it, and the stand is pivoted to its working position below the wood and the splitting head is brought down again, completing the split. An option is a four-way splitting head allowing logs to be split into four pieces at a single stroke. This halves the time needed to prepare wood compared to having to split first in half, then into quarters using the standard splitting head and makes the splitter ideal for kindling, producing a barrow load in just a few minutes.

The log stand in action. This is designed to assist when splitting lengths up to 1m. Wood is stood below the raised head on the base plate and split until the head reaches the end of its travel. Then the head is raised lifting with it the half split length. The stand is pivoted under the wood and the head is lowered again to complete the split.

option for yard and field use.

Verdict The Binderberger K8 Kombi isn’t cheap but will last many years of intensive use. Everything about it feels well made and the lever action and practical table design make it easy to use. The high rate of work allows a typical week’s supply of logs to be split in just a few minutes and for farms with multiple houses to keep supplied, or restocking log sheds of holiday cottages, the Binderberger will be ideal. A surprise was this machine’s capability. In theory it had the smallest splitting force of all the machines tested at just 8t, but it out-performed the cheaper models easily, even with the 4-way splitter head fitted.

Transporting Wheels allow movement by one person, but the H8 Kombi is heavy and awkward to move over anything other than short distances. When moving by hand the PTO pump can be secured to the top link mounting pin, preventing risk of damage. The splitter is made for professional users and the tractor linkage mounts are suitable for transport over long distances and bumpy terrain, making it a practical

Ryetec Contractor CV16 PTO Vertical Log Splitter with optional hydraulic winch, £3,745 (Winch adds £1,650) main pillar with plenty of capacity to prevent overheating during continuous use.

Mounting to the tractor The splitter stands on a substantial flat base with two adjustable legs at the front. Its weight and height mean it is used mounted to the tractor and stored on a hard surface. The linkage mounts are well spaced and solid, which means attaching to the tractor is as easy as most other implements. There is plenty of space to attach the PTO shaft which is supplied with the splitter.

In use ...More on previous page The Ryetec CV16 splitter was the most powerful of the machines tested and is designed for professional use. An optional winch makes it easy to handle cordwood and load heavier logs, dragging it to the splitting platform with ease.

Ryetec’s Contractor log splitters are available with an integral PTO pump, 3-phase electric pump or simple hydraulic hose connectors utilising the tractor hydraulic system with at least 50 litres/min flow rate required. The range includes models from 12–22t; models up to 16t capable of handling wood up to 125cm length. The model selected for the Farmers Guide test was the CV16, 16t model with the optional tractor PTO-driven pump mounted on the machine and driven by conventional PTO shaft. The CV16 is designed for professional use and with its topmounted splitting ram it stands almost as high as the tractor cab, making it unsuitable for use in low buildings. Hydraulic oil is stored in the

The Ryetec machine is easy to use, and can be adjusted for optimum work rates. PTO speed had a big effect on splitting speed but we found that with the tractor running at an idle for minimum fuel use, and the PTO drive in Eco position, the rate was more than adequate. For most logs the splitting table is swung into position below the splitting wedge. This provides a comfortable splitting height. Two hand levers activate the splitting ram, both above the level of the log so hands are kept well clear. The left hand lever incorporates a prong to hold logs in position until the wedge makes contact. This is ideal for irregular-shaped logs, which won’t rest upright on the table. The rate of work is high and the splitting head returns to the raised position rapidly as soon as the levers are released. When logs of consistent length are split, the rate of work can be increased by adjusting the return position of the splitting head. A movable bolt on a metering rod at the side of the machine marks the extent of upward

Winch loading The splitter supplied was fitted with an optional winch for easy loading of heavy logs and cord. This is hydraulicdriven and mounted above the splitting table. A swivel pulley allows the 20m cable to feed out to the rear or sides and a log clamp proved capable of gripping even smooth, even-shaped logs. The test involved splitting heavy oak cordwood from a field-edge pile and the winch made it easy to extract lengths for splitting which would have been awkward to move by hand. Logs are dragged to the splitter and onto the base splitting table, after which the clamp is moved clear and the wood is split. Winch control is by a small hand lever and a safety latch prevents accidental cable tensioning. A bracket is provided to store the clamp when the winch isn’t used.

Verdict The Ryetec CV16 is made for professional users to withstand heavy and frequent operation. Everything about it is heavy duty and the toughest logs, which the two smaller machines had failed to split, were dealt with in seconds. There is plenty of scope to optimise performance through the many possible adjustments but we found that for typical farm use chopping logs and cord of assorted

The CV16’s height and weight means it must be tractor-mounted when operating, especially with the winch fitted. A standard PTO shaft drive to the hydraulic pump means it can be used with any PTO-equipped tractor.

lengths and sizes it coped easily and quickly with whatever was asked of it. It’s a beast of a machine, but part of the test involved chopping logs for kindling and this was carried out easily using the standard splitting head on the waist-high table. The winch proved a great help in the field, handling heavy cordwood and loading thick branch sections. For those chopping prepared logs this would be an unnecessary luxury but for heavier material it saved considerable backache. Prices for the CV16 start at £3,040 for a model using tractor-supplied hydraulic power and for those needing to maintain a considerable supply of wood for holiday cottages or a number of farm households it should last many years and easily justify its investment.

travel. Downward travel limit is also adjustable.allowing setting to suit splitting on the table or base plate. The CV16’s splitting capacity is impressive and knotted logs were no challenge. Placing branches across the table to split across the grain where occasional shortening was needed was also successful but sometimes beyond the working limit causing the relief valve to activate.

reason and for little extra the correct chain for the saw can be purchased, to a quality level expected of our brand.”

Ideal for farm use The new X-Cut chain is ideal for farm and estate use, and is currently available for the SP33G model; with .325in pitch and 1.3mm gauge, replacing the previous H30 .325in 1.3mm chain. The chain is also available in 100ft reels, with more chain types to be added to the X-Cut family in the near future.

Husqvarna, one of the leading chainsaw manufacturers, has started manufacturing its own saw chains. where it is too thick it will flake off leaving the softer steel exposed and if it is too thin the protective layer wears away quickly shortening the chain life. If steel quality is poor excessive stretching not only means more regular adjustment is needed, but can also be a safety issue if the chain is thrown off.”

Manufacturing for quality Husqvarna has invested in a brand new chain factory using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to ensure quality and enable premium chain availability at a competitive price. “Our chains come carefully sharpened and packaged to avoid damage in storage and transport so they are ready to fit and use,” said Gary. “Pre-stretching reduces the frequent re-tensioning usually needed after fitting new chains saving time and improving safety. There will still be replacement chains available from agricultural dealers for less money, but it is worth remembering they are cheap for a

The brand is popular with farm and estate users as well as professionals and recent investment in a purposebuilt factory to produce top quality chains at a competitive price will benefit customers who might otherwise have been tempted by cheaper alternatives of inferior quality. “Our latest X-Cut chains are produced to optimise saw cutting performance using a complete Husqvarna package of chainsaw, bar and chain,” explained Husqvarna specialist business development manager Gary Philpott. “Our saws are made to a premium standard but cutting performance is only as good as the chain and there is great variability within the market in terms of quality which affects cutting efficiency, safety, working life and maintenance requirements.” Gary said consistency of holding blade sharpness is a key issue. “Chain plating helps maintain strength and their ability to remain sharp during use. If the plating quality is poor then

X-Cut tested

performance and efficiency by up to 10 per cent. Immediately noticeable was the lack of tension adjustment needed, even in the first few hours use after fitting. “It stretched very little and its cutting performance was good. Because I buy good quality chains usually, I only need to sharpen each time I refuel the saw and the new X-Cut chain held its sharpness just as well and needed no extra attention,” he added. The test, over several weeks, allowed John plenty of time to make the most of the chain’s working life and after three weeks the teeth were just over half worn. “I use a good file which also adjusts the depth gauges and the chain still cut well so there was no need to consider replacing it with less than half its working life remaining. Occasional tension adjustment was required to compensate for stretching, but this was equivalent to my usual chain, and what I would expect with demanding use,” he added. The new Husqvarna X-Cut SP33G chain is priced at £20.00 (rrp) to fit a 13in bar, £22.50 for a 15in, and £24.17 for the current largest 18in version. It is available through all main dealers. ■

Farmers Guide arranged a demanding test of the new chains by full-time forester John Gray who is employed by Euston Estate. The enterprise, in north Suffolk, comprises approximately 2,500ha (6,215 acres) farmed in hand by Henry FitzRoy; 12th Duke of Grafton and John’s role means he spends up to 750hrs per year operating his Husqvarna 560-XP saw. Typical use includes felling trees up to 3ft diameter, hedge and farm woodland maintenance and John usually purchases replacement chains from the local agricultural dealer, opting for a premium brand rather than a budget alternative for cutting performance and reduced downtime. This provided an opportunity to test Husqvarna’s claims that the new X-Cut chain could exceed the working life of an established premium Euston Estate’s John Gray was pleased with the X-Cut’s brand chain, and improve ability to resist stretching, even when new.

Keeping it neat The tree shear.

P Bowers (Contractors) has carried out digger work in East Anglia for more than 40 years. The company now runs three 14t diggers for hire with drivers. Its latest addition is a tree shear capable of handling tree trunks up to 14in in diameter. It’s usually followed by its grab and/or rake to tidy behind it. It can deal with

individual trees, general coppicing or clear the way for ditching. Coppicing is an ideal way to bring back under control hedges that have grown too tall or wide and may be shading fields and creating damp headlands, the contractor says. Coppicing allows regrowth of a general mixed hedge for wildlife to move back to, often growing about 5ft in five years, it adds. Once hedges have been coppiced, it’s an ideal opportunity to dig ditches, with machines only needing to move in once. Cleaning ditches is the main starting point to any drainage system, helping to boost yields and helping in the control of blackgrass, the company says. Any spoil from ditches or hedges can be raked and spread level for cultivations for the next crop. The shear and grab are also good for clearing overgrown areas that may then be able to be planted with cricket bat willow.

The beneﬁts of battery power Echo is introducing a new hedge trimmer to its 50v lithium-ion battery series. The DHC-200 offers clean battery power while providing performance equal to its petrol counterparts, its maker says. Said to be built to the same standard as Echo’s petrol hedge trimmers, with their reputation for being powerful, tough and durable, it’s ideally suited to use in noise-sensitive areas such as schools and nursing homes. Low emissions are beneficial in their use in parks, nature reserves and organic gardens. Other considerations include reduced maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts, easy-to-use controls with no recoil start, no fuel filling or cold starting. The ergonomic design of the front handle aids manoeuvrability and means it can be used for long periods with little fatigue. The 62cm double-sided precisioncut blades provide a clean cut with a long-lasting sharpness for a “beautiful” finish. The DHC-200 uses energyefficient controls to manage motor speed, power delivery and battery

All your forestry needs in one place

The AHWI RT400 tracked forestry mulcher.

Trading since 1995, Kingwell sells Serrat and Fecon mulching equipment, Bavatec excavator grapples, attachments and buckets, says the company. It also supplies Chaptrack forestry tool carriers in the UK and in Ireland (the latter through agent Clint Leslie Plant). In addition, Kingwell supplies a full range of mobile incinerators, manufactured by Burnwell Ltd, for wood waste vegetation and disposal of dead livestock. A range of mulchers and other

forestry equipment, with skilled operators, can be hired from the business and the fleet includes: three AHWI RT400 tracked forestry mulchers; a John Deere 1490D biomass baler; two excavatorbased mulchers with secondengine power-packs and a range of mulching heads, stump grinders and other attachments. These are supplemented by a range of forestry-specification excavators, with high-flow hydraulics and a full range of tree shears, flail heads, grapples, rakes and rippers. The hire fleet also includes smaller mulchers such as an AHWI RT200 and a Fecon FTX128L LGP tracked machine, which will work on poor ground as well as between standing trees – for rhododendron clearance, for example. Kingwell also sells a range of used machinery and it is exhibiting at the CONFOR Woodland Show, Longleat Estate (7th and 8th September). ■

An end to overgrown hedges and neglected woodland A specialist contractor says that increased mechanisation is now making coppicing an affordable option for landowners. Based in Peasenhall, Suffolk, Collins Farming and Forestry Services serves Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, specialising in hedge and woodland coppicing, wood chipping for biofuel, ditching and all types of excavator work. Reclamation of ponds and the relaying of yards and tracks also form part of the company’s regular workload, in addition to more conventional services such as mole draining and cultivations. However, coppicing and biomass chipping now form a major part of the company’s operations. Increased mechanisation has resulted in a reduction in cost per metre of coppicing, making this type of work more affordable than ever, it says. The management, reclamation and renovation of overgrown hedges and neglected woodland are now viable propositions. If the coppice is of good enough

quality, it might be possible to derive an income from timber for fuel as woodchip, which often covers the cost of coppicing and can produce a net return to the landowner. Collins Farming and Forestry Services is investing in facilities to force-dry wood chip for fuel, and is a Biomass Suppliers List registered wood chip supplier. Both the coppicing and chipping operations are useful in site clearance work and this is a part of the company’s workload that’s increasing, having recently worked on the East Anglia ONE electricity transfer line construction project. All of Collins Farming and Forestry Services’ operators are trained, certified where necessary and fully insured. The company says that it aims to give a professional and competent service. It adds that it’s always happy to help with advice and quotations and that the exchange of ideas and the forming of project plans, large or small, is usually an ongoing process in which it’s happy to play whatever role is required.

Telescopic hedge cutter variant adds to range Bomford Turner is promoting the new Falcon Telescopic VFA, its first telescopic variable forward arm hedge cutter. With a reach of 6.5m, this machine is said to give an excellent range of reach, not only at 6.5m, but also at much closer working parameters, giving the opportunity to cut close in to the tractor as well. With a powerful 125 litres/minute cutting system producing 74hp at the cutting head, the Falcon telescopic VFA is expected to be a real winner with contractors. Drive is by the trusted gear system used throughout the current Falcon range, can run

a variety of cutting attachments in addition to the standard 1200 Pro Cut cutting head. The significant advantages of the telescopic VFA arm system are the ability to cut alongside the tractor cab and the view it affords the driver through the side window. This eases the strain on the operator and allows a more comfortable seating position, especially important when being used for prolonged periods of time. The arm can travel up to 1.8m forward and 0.9m rearwards. Its travel allows the cutting head to be placed in behind the rear tractor wheel for use in confined areas.

Coppicing costs curtailed Diss, Norfolk-based agricultural contracting business, Nigel Stimson Tree Shear Services is set to make hedge coppicing a more affordable option for farmers. Increased mechanisation of hedge and woodland coppicing has resulted in a cost per metre reduction, now making this type of work more affordable than ever, says the company. In addition, if coppiced timber is of sufficient quality, there is the possibility to derive an income from the wood for fuel, either as logs, or even higher-value uses, adds the firm. “Many years ago when farms

had plenty of labour, hedges were coppiced regularly, but that hasn’t been the case in recent decades and they have got very tall and overgrown,” says Nigel Stimson. Eight years ago he set out to find a tree shear to fit to a ‘360’ excavator/ digger and, with the help of a manufacturer, came up with a twinblade tree shear with two 20mm hardox blades and a 50cm opening. The blades have a scissor movement which cuts all brash and brambles, hedgerow growth and tree material from 1–50cm width. “When we coppice a hedge, we lay the brash at right angles to the ditch and this makes it easier to

access and remove suitable material for firewood. It’s this that can offset against the overall cost of hedge coppicing,” he explains. For the past two years, Mr Stimson says that he has been working closely with The Organic Research Centre Elm Farm, at its Wakelyns Agroforestry farm on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, with a particular focus on a ‘Hedgerow to Heat’ projects. “There are indeed situations when the income from the timber can make a substantial contribution to coppicing costs, to the point where a project can be nearly selffunding,” he points out.

the highest standard possible. All materials are sourced, not on the cheapest basis, but rather with the emphasis on quality and, in the case of timber products, only class 4, which comes with a 10-year guarantee against rot. All wire is of British Standard to ensure a long lifetime. Over the past five years, Hyde Hall

has implemented several very large contracts for the solar farm industry and the Forestry Commission. That’s included more than 10 miles of deer fencing, more than 25 miles of hedgeplanting and planting 15,000 trees. For any orders of more than £500 placed in September, Hyde Hall is offering a five per cent discount to Farmers Guide readers. ■

Cordless a match for petrol saws? The DUC353Z cordless saw.

Makita says its new DUC353Z twin 18v brushless motor chainsaw offers the many qualities of cordless machines that have become recognised throughout the industry, namely: zero emissions; super-quiet operation; total control; and high levels of efficiency and safety as standard. The Makita 36v direct-drive brushless motor has a rated output of 1,100 watts, similar to a 32cc petrol machine, and has identical 35cm-long bar and a chain speed of 20m per second. Trials have shown that two fullycharged 5.0Ah batteries will deliver more than 60 cuts through 5indiameter timber – at least seven linear metres of cutting per charge. This back-handle saw weighs

5.2kg ready to operate, versus a 32cc petrol model fuelled for work which weighs 5.6kg. It features: an ergonomic soft-grip handle; variable-speed trigger and constant speed control; automatic electric chain brake on trigger release, with kickback brake protection and lockoff lever. The 200ml chain-oil tank has adjustable flow through the pump with metal gears to the automatic chain-lube system and has a capacitydisplay window. The proven Makita tool-less chaintensioning and adjustment system is included, while the strong metal spike bumper allows easier cutting. The chain catcher can be removed for fast and efficient machine servicing. In addition to the drive brake safety system, the main power system is automatically turned off if the operator doesn’t grip the lock-off lever 10 seconds after the machine is switched on. The same happens if the operator doesn’t squeeze the trigger switch within one minute after switch-on, even if the lock-off lever is gripped.

Hedging its bets Since Grass Solutions first started up, hedge planting was always good winter work to complement its regular grass maintenance services. Conscious of the diseases that can be imported with foreignsourced plants, the company always uses plants with UK provenance. This year it has added hedge cutting to the range of services it offers, the consequence of having been granted a whole-farm hedgecutting contract. The farming customer concerned was too busy with harvest and cultivations to worry about hedges and ditches, so offered the job to Grass Solutions. The company also provides a planting service for orchards and new woodland, offering advice on planting complementary species and plants that will enhance its customers’ property and their local environment. Several of the new orchards it’s established have been planted with wildflower meadows, which

Grass Solutions has organised on behalf of the client after consultation about species and colours. Operating throughout East Anglia from its Framlingham, Suffolk base, the company is small and privately-owned with regular clientele looking for the degree of care and attention that it gives to their jobs, it says. It researches its customers’ needs where it has a specific end goal and it delivers, it boasts. And many of its regulars have been customers for a long time, it adds.

Grass Solutions added hedge cutting to its suite of services this year.

Neat solution for nursery Hurling jets extend the spray coverage.

Working with hedging and screening specialist Readyhedge, Ely, Cambridgeshire-based Team Sprayers has developed a special single-boom, tractor-mounted sprayer that can effectively spray its hedge stock rows, which are configured in 10, 12 and 15m runs. The key to the design is a 300kg counterbalance that allows the 3-section boom to be extended to its 12m length with ‘hurling’ jets projecting the spray the final 3m on the 15m rows. The boom is fully heightadjustable so that all varieties can be sprayed from 30cm-high box hedges to 1.8m hawthorn. Team’s Sigma Solo sprayer is based on its successful Sigma model, with a 1,000-litre tank minimising the

need for refilling. The on-sprayer controls are said to be simple to use and clearly presented. There’s a 25-litre induction hopper that incorporates a canisterwash facility, plus a hand-wash for the operator and protective clothes locker. A low-mounted video camera on the boom assembly warns the driver when otherwise unseen obstacles pose a risk. Readyhedge’s Gareth Beck says: “The new Team sprayer has allowed us to establish a much more efficient spraying regime. “Variable weather conditions are no longer such a problem as we can respond quicker. The hedges look even healthier than before and applications times have been greatly reduced. “The new sprayer is also much quieter than the knapsack sprayers we used before, so we can operate throughout daylight hours without upsetting the neighbours. “We can now complete spray operations in a day that were taking up to a week,” he says. ■

Cut ‘n’ mulch Bobcat is extending its range of forestry cutter attachments with the FRC150ST for use on the smaller Bobcat S630/H and S650/H skid-steer loaders and T590/H and T650/H compact tracked loaders. It incorporates many improvements over the previous FRC150. For example, it’s made almost entirely from Hardox, and a new fixed high-performance motor offers greater output and efficiency. Its 1.5m drum is equipped with 30 fixed long-life carbide teeth. Other new features include: three rows of counter cutters; an adjustable push-bar configuration; a reinforced chain protection system at the back; an HD belt cover; adjustable skid shoes; a debris and seal application kit; an automatic drum brake system; an ACD control system; and a patented fixed knife rotor with tungsten carbide tips. The FRC150ST is operated from the comfort and safety of the cab on the Bobcat loader, and the mandatory Forestry Applications Kit provides even greater safety,

Applications for the FRC150ST are many and varied.

protecting the loader and operator from flying objects and debris. A safety feature stops the cutter drum from turning if the loader door is opened. All functions of the cutter can be fingertip-controlled from the cab seat without the operator needing to remove hands from the loader steering levers. The cutter is designed for continuous work on bushes and trees 100 to 120mm in diameter, intermittent use for trees with a diameter from 150–200mm, and occasional use on trees 220–0 260mm in diameter. A variable front gate can be adjusted to provide the coarseness or fineness of mulch required.

Breathing new life into old soils t Once it has had a chance to dry out over the spring and summer months, spoil from the cleared ditches is spread and levelled across field headlands after harvest. u Ditches cleared last winter are now flowing freely.

Ditch and drain maintenance projects have become increasingly important on arable farms in recent years as growers look to enhance their key asset – the soil. Dominic Kilburn reports on a long-term plan underway on an estate in Suffolk. Simon Eddell (right) is a farm manager on a mission. He wants to breathe new life into soils across the Rougham Estate in mid Suffolk – land which has been cultivated and cropped for generations but which now needs some TLC. At the heart of his programme for soil re-generation is a mapped or ‘zoned’ area where an eight-year ditch and drainage maintenance programme is in full swing. However, alongside this, he has also introduced cover crops into the rotation and increased quantities of farmyard manure spread across targeted acres – all part of a grand plan to build organic matter and bring tangible benefits to soil management and crop production.

Traditional estate The Rougham Estate, owned by the Agnew family since 1904, consists of over 1,200ha of beautiful Suffolk countryside with ancient meadows,

green lanes, oak-lined hedgerows, parklands, woods and arable fields. The arable area of the estate amounts to approximately 800ha and is split in two by the East-West running A14 dual carriageway. To the north of the road features predominantly light, free-draining soils and, to the south, heavier medium clays. Cropping rotations include winter rye (grown for Ryvita), late-lifted sugar beet and spring barley on the lighter land. Winter wheat, winter barley and sugar beet is grown on the medium soils and the more traditional rotation of winter wheat, winter barley and oilseed rape on the heaviest land. In addition to the arable cropping there is also 300ha of woodland and 100ha of grass; the latter rented to a tenant who grazes sheep and cattle. Simon acknowledges that while it is indeed a beautiful estate, and the miles of tree-lined hedgerows offer a stunning backdrop to the arable landscape, an average field size of just 7.5ha does present some farm management challenges. “It means that a large proportion of our fields are headlands and,

In addition to the arable cropping there is also 100ha of grassland on the Estate, which is grazed by cattle.

surrounded by hedges and large oaks, these areas can sometimes sit cold and wet without much sunlight for long periods. So it’s these heavy land areas that have become a priority for the ditching programme. “The second issue is the lighter land to the north which features low organic matter levels and poor water retention, and that’s where we are mostly targeting certain parts of fields with increased applications of muck with the addition of cover crops in the rotation,” he explains. “It will take a few years to really see the benefit of increased organic matter levels but I have already seen spring crops holding on better during the dry spell we had here earlier this year,” he adds.

Ditching plan Wet soils to the south highlighted that ditch and drainage maintenance on the Estate had been largely ignored for many years previously and so Simon drew up the eight-year plan quite soon after his arrival, with the maintenance work beginning five years ago. “We believe about 60 per cent of the Estate has been drained over the years, some of it as long ago as 100 years, but the majority in the ‘70s and ‘80s and some as recently as a decade ago. “It’s a mix of full herringbone systems down to drainage pipes laid across the odd field corner and although we haven’t got maps for them all, local drainage firm Miles Drainage, which carried out some of the original work on the Estate, managed to locate additional maps which has helped.” To carry out the maintenance work, Simon has employed an expert excavator operator, Nick Ellis, from nearby civil engineering business R&D Construction, and this all takes place over the winter months. Spoil is dug out of ditches, as much as 2ft deep in places, and deposited in a windrow alongside the crop, taking care not to cover any grass margins of which there are plenty as part of the Estate’s ESAs. “It’s important that we don’t cover any of the grass margins with spoil as it takes a lot of effort to establish them,” comments Simon.

The spoil dries out over the spring and summer months making it easier for Nick to remove any branches and debris, before spreading and levelling it across the headland after harvest. According to Simon, Nick also uses a shear-grab on the excavator for coppicing and general tidying up as so many of the ditches and hedgerows are over-grown. This in itself has resulted in better rabbit control now that their habitat has been cleared, he adds.

Discovered drains “It’s been a remarkable transformation,” continues Simon. “With Nick’s expertise and attention to detail, we have found drains that we had no idea were there, and all have had new eyes fitted to them at the point they flow into the ditch and then marked with a white stake so continued over...

Drain outflows are given new ‘eyes’ and marked with a white stake.

they can be easily located. “In addition, the drain positions are being GPS logged and data inputted into our Gatekeeper farmrecording programme.” The work doesn’t stop at ditches and drains either. In some areas ancient moats and farm ponds, once lost in the mists of time, have been rediscovered and re-invigorated, now providing excellent wildlife habitat. Simon reckons that although the benefits of the ditching work are unlikely to be seen immediately, two

to three years after ditches and drains are cleared, water-logging on fields has reduced, worm casts are more in evidence and he has a “gut feel” that soils are in better shape. “Where we have carried out the work, soil is more friable than it used to be and this, in turn, allows us to make use of our one-pass Sumo Trio to establish all crops on the farm. “The 3m Trio operates at a depth of 8–9in and is the only form of cultivation we do ahead of the Horsch drill, apart from some targeted ploughing to control volunteer wheat

ahead of winter barley. “The one-pass system is helping soil structure and providing us with better seedbeds, and easier and more timely drilling of crops,” he adds.

Black-grass benefit Drainage and ditching is also the starting point for black-grass issues, notes Simon, and where improvements in control can be made by fundamentally changing the character of the land. “I have a zero tolerance to blackgrass – stacking pre-ems, delayed drilling, adjusting seed rates etc. – and where we have very bad areas of black-grass, a legacy of continuous wheat in the past, then I keep that land in continuous break crops to be safe. “Black-grass here still has susceptibility to Atlantis and/ or Pacifica, but I get it tested for resistance each season. Like everything, it’s attention to detail that counts and if we get black-grass coming up in a new place then we know we’ve missed one part of the jig-saw of measures that it takes to control it properly. “Black-grass is a bog plant so why create an environment for it to continued over...

Drainage and ditching is also the starting point for black-grass control, says Simon.

Care is taken not to put any of the spoil from ditches on the Estate’s grass margins.

The better condition that we can get our land into with the help of the ditch and drainage maintenance, plus increased muck and cover crop use, then the less opportunity there will be for black-grass to survive, and it will result in a more competitive crop,” Simon points out. At an approximate cost of £20,000/year, the maintenance work on the Estate isn’t cheap, he concedes, “and we are continuing to prioritise the worst-affected areas, but it’s about being committed to a plan in order to provide the maximum benefit to the soil, which is our asset, the

DIY drainage Shelton’s trencher.

Lincolnshire drainage expert Shelton is recommending its CT150 Agri Chain Trencher as an efficient and costeffective solution for waterlogged areas. And its customers agree. Bob Chapman from Barnwell hired the machine to carry out drainage on his Northamptonshire farm last year. He says: “We had waterlogged patches that were making cultivation difficult and providing ideal conditions for black-grass to take hold. “We trenched straight into a standing crop of spring wheat, as the soil conditions were ideal. The damage was minimal. We disturbed a 25m strip

QUIVOGNE UK

but that started to fill in as the crop tillered out. “It’s now one year since we did the work and I’m really pleased with the results. It’s done a good job.” Shelton director Richard Clark says the CT150 fills a gap in the market for a trencher with the laser grading accuracy of a self-propelled machine without the price tag. He says: “It’s designed to be used in-house by farmers, so they can carry out drainage work when it suits them, during optimum conditions for the best results.” For those with more than 36 hectares (90 acres) to drain, it’s more economical to buy a CT150 than to hire a contractor. The machine has a maximum digging depth of 1.5m and needs a tractor of 150–200hp with variable transmission or a creep speed gearbox for speeds down to 0.3kph. ■

Boost yields and soil health with good drainage Drainage project design by Miles Drainage is determined by soil type, terrain and land use.

Drainage in farmland can boost crop yields while also increasing flexibility in timeliness of operations according

to drainage specialist Andrew Miles. Good drainage will also assist with maintaining soil structure and help in

establishment of subsequent crops, he says. Drainage projects carried out by his Suffolk-based company tend to fall into three categories with soil type, terrain and land use determining the final design. Peat and fen soils require a high level of drainage due to the shrinkage of peat over the years which means the clay subsoil is getting closer to the surface, he says. On these soils drain spacing varies from 10–40m apart with 20m being most usual, says Andrew who offers a GPS-based design, installation and maintenance service to landowners in East Anglia and beyond. “Stone backfill to the clay horizon and single

outfalls are recommended.” The second soil type where land drainage is carried out are clay soils, he says. “Spacing will vary between 20–100m, although 100m spacing would only be used for the very best clay fields with a good even slope for the moles,” he explains. “In these soils regular mole draining plays a major part in field drainage.” The third type are those which have very little or no clay content within drain depth, but still have a need for land drainage, says Andrew. “Soils that have a deep layer of clay holding up the filtration of water also fall into this category. These soils have traditionally been drained at 14m apart and no stone backfill, although drainage at 20m apart and a stone covering is an alternative.” ■

Mole plough upgrades Quivogne UK’s MM Mole.

Upgrades to Quivogne UK’s single leg double beam mole plough are said to make moleing more level and offer increased stability. The changes have been made with Michael Moore, who has more than 30 years' experience of mole plough design and use. The MM Mole features traditional double beams but the location of the mole leg has been brought forward closer to the tractor which will enable the user to get further over existing old drains and raise the machine directly out rather than planing out

of the ground. The spacing between the beams has been designed to fit inside tractor tyre wheelings, therefore enabling an undisturbed and constant depth if the tyres bite or sink into the ground. Being mounted, the MM Mole is more manoeuvrable than trailed versions and also enables the user to lower or overhang the leg directly into ditches ready for work. The manufacturer says that the MM Mole is able to cope with excess trash, chopped and wet straw due to its 400mm under-beam clearance. This prevents debris from wrapping around the leg and eventually raising the machine. Also available is a twin leg mounted Mole – designed and built using the same principles as the proven single leg version. ■

William Morfoot is based in Norfolk but carries out land drainage projects across the UK.

Drainage helps yield potential Black-grass control can be significantly more effective on land which has been recently drained according to Norfolkbased drainage specialist Tim Sisson. With black-grass contributing to significant declines in yield potential coupled with the fact that poorly drained ground is generally lower yielding in its own right, the potential for increasing income by investing in land drainage schemes can be huge, says Tim who works for Shipdhambased William Morfoot Ltd. “We have seen a number of farmers approaching us for the

first time – having not completed any new drainage schemes since the grant aid days of the 1970s and ‘80s,” explains Tim. “The appetite is there among many growers to farm for the long term future and with this comes the knowledge that well drained land is able to deliver a typical yield increase of 25–35 per cent in poorly drained areas. “Together with the knowledge that land drains are a tool which works day and night 365 days a year, it is possible to see why the demand for investing in land drainage schemes is on the rise,” he adds.

Cultivations including Tillage-Live

Intensive stubble cultivation Lemken UK will be using Tillage-Live to demonstrate its new semimounted Karat 12 cultivator, which is available in working widths from 4–7m. The machine has been developed for both shallow and deep cultivation up to 30cm deep, especially in heavier soils. Four rows of tines with a line distance of about 23cm deliver the desired loosening effect as well as effective mixing, depending on share type. With eight available share types, there will always be just the perfect combination of tools for any working conditions, the company says. An optional quick-change system ensures that shares can be quickly and easily swapped. The use of the new, carbide-coated K8H share points is recommended for superior

acreage performance. Given an underframe clearance of 80cm and an interbody clearance of 90cm, the Karat 12 makes easy work of large volumes of organic materials. Like Lemken’s other cultivator models, the Kristall and Karat 9, it features concave discs for optimal levelling. The discs and trailing roller are designed as a single unit, so the discs don’t need to be adjusted even when the working depth is changed. The carriage of the new cultivator is integrated between the tines and concave discs, resulting in a highly compact and stable cultivator that is also extremely agile at the headlands and during road transport. The favourable weight distribution allows the use of heavy trailing rollers to achieve good reconsolidation. The standard equipment of the

The Karat 12.

Karat 12 includes maintenance-free automatic overload protection. The tines can deflect vertically by up to 20cm, providing for confident, disruption-free work even in stony soils. Trigger forces of more than 550kg ensure the tines remain firmly engaged with the soil. Hydraulic depth adjustment allows working depth to be adjusted continuously via the trailing rollers from the tractor cab. Each roller/disc unit is equipped with a self-levelling system for precise and constant depth control and smooth operation. Hydraulic traction enhancement is available as an option to reduce

slip and thereby reduce fuel consumption, as already proven on the existing Karat 9. The ContourTrack option, which provides electro-hydraulic adaptation to surface contours via depth control wheels, is recommended to ensure consistent working depths, which can often by problematic in hilly terrain, says Lemken. This ensures optimum working results even with longer cultivators, it adds. ■

Drill system targets black-grass In response to increasing demand from growers across North West Europe, Pöttinger is introducing the new Wave Disc system to its range of Terrasem trailed seed drills. The low-disturbance disc option is specifically targeted at those operating in conditions where black-grass is a problem. The wavy profile of the leading disc tills a strip just 45mm-wide ahead of the rear seeding doubledisc coulter assembly. Coulter spacing of 12.5 or 16.7cm can be specified, with the

latter recommended for trashier conditions. Up to 120kg of coulter pressure is applied hydraulically. All Terrasem models can be supplied as fertiliser versions, allowing the combined application of fertiliser via dedicated disc coulters ahead of the seed coulters. Fully Isobus-compatible and variable seed rate-ready, the new Terrasem Wave Disc models are said to offer great adaptability for the professional grower. The versatile Terrasem has proven itself over more than 10 years in the UK and helped

many growers achieve increased consistency of germination, says Pöttinger. Now that it can be specified with the low-disturbance Wave Disc system, it offers greater

flexibility and an effective way to establish seedbeds that may be prone to black-grass, it adds. The Wave Disc system is available across the full range of models from 3–9m working width.

First-time event attendance for distributor

A plough from Nardi’s full range.

Exclusive UK and Ireland distributor AMIA is excited to be exhibiting at Tillage-Live for the first time this year, according to managing director Alan Dennis. On the stand it will have a Nardi in-furrow and out-of-furrow reversible plough, a Sfoggia Kappa mechanical seed drill, Sfoggia Calibra precision vegetable drill and a Valentini power harrow bedformer. A new brand that AMIA distributes exclusively is the Italian manufacturer Valentini. Its range comprises stone buriers, power harrows, rotary tiller, stone crushers

and bed-formers. It’s targeted at professional high-end growers and the build quality and excellent performance demonstrate this, says Alan. Folding-frame power harrow and rotary tillers combined with bed-formers feature strongly in the range. Sfoggia precision drills are becoming a common sight on UK arable farms, according to Alan. Its Sigma 5 drills for sugar beet and maize are particularly popular, as are its transplanters and precision vegetable drills. Nardi has a full range of ploughs, from standard reversible to semi-mounted up to in-furrow and out-of-furrow ploughs similar to the one that will be shown at Tillage-Live. The Italian firm also has a mechanical seed drill/power harrow combination that it has developed in partnership with Valentini, which is a popular element of its range.

The Spirit R 300 will be at Tillage-Live.

Thoughtful improvements to drill design Vaderstad’s new 3m Spirit R 300 drill with 125mm row spacing has been redesigned from the ground up, the company says. It includes new innovations and technological developments such a E-Control, SeedEye and Gateway. It’s also equipped with System Disc Aggressive. The front tool with conical 450mm discs provides intensive soil cultivation and produces an even soil structure. The drill frame’s central beam position provides easy access for service and adjustments. OffSet support wheels roll lightly over the surface and provide good consolidation and cultivation, allowing the machine to drill in all soil types. A new corrosion-resistant 2,800-litre hopper with integrated

fan is made from rotational-moulded plastic. The design makes it easy both to fill and empty, while a working platform at the side of the hopper makes all parts easily accessible when filling. The fan is located high up and integrated into the front of the hopper to minimise dust intake and protect sensitive components. The air distribution system has low oil requirements and is adapted to smaller tractors. A completely new electrical feed system called Fenix III is designed for smaller working widths and provides even seed distribution to each coulter. With two distributor heads, half the machine can be turned off. The Spirit R 300 will be at TillageLive and available for demonstration throughout the season. ■

3D disc action for one-pass stubble incorporator Boroughbridge, North Yorkshirebased KRM is introducing the updated Maximulch series 3 onepass stubble incorporator and soil loosener from the leading French manufacturer, Agrisem International, which specialises in soil-conditioning and seedbed-preparation equipment. The Maximulch features two rows of 560mm cutaway discs with a following press roller for quick and effective cultivation of stubble for residue incorporation and to encourage weed and volunteer seed germination. As an option, mulcher discs with a multi-fluted edge are for very shallow cultivation to minimise soil disturbance for black-grass control. Each disc unit is mounted on a patented pigtail-shaped tine to allow the disc to move in three dimensions. This creates a percussion effect, which improves penetration of the hardest stubbles for a consistent working depth and improves residue mixing. At the same time, the power and fuel saved compared to traditional

2-dimensional systems is claimed to be up to 20 per cent. No pivots to wear and fullysealed heavy-duty disc bearings mean that the Maximulch needs no maintenance. Long side deflectors ensure a level surface finish without ridging between passes. Between the two rows of discs is a row of pan-busting tines with patented TCS blades which have carbide-tipped shares for a long working life. The action of the TCS blades is to raise the soil profile in a wave, creating vertical fissures to enhance the existing soil structure, improve aeration and drainage and to encourage fast and deep root development, but without disturbing the soil surface. Positioned between the rows of discs for optimum action and reduced power requirement, the tines can be quickly and precisely adjusted up to 30cm working depth using a simple rack and pinion system. The tines are protected by shear

for self-cleaning in more difficult conditions. Simple pin adjustment of the rear roller with easy-to-follow scale allows precise setting of the working depth.

A versatile trailed hopper

The XTender-T from Amazone.

Amazone is introducing its new XTender-T, a flexible application, trailed distribution hopper running on a single axle. It’s been developed for farms looking to simultaneously apply fertiliser and/or seed in combination with the soil tillage operation via a cultivator or compact disc harrow. This means it can be used, for instance, for the application of a compensation fertiliser to counteract nitrogen removal by the straw-rotting process, or for sowing catch crops with or without the addition of a starter fertiliser. Combining these passes with

the soil tillage operation means a noticeable enhancement in efficiency, says Amazone. The XTender-T is designed for operation behind tractors of up to 600hp. Thanks to its own running gear it can also be used behind tractors with only limited lift capacity or no rear linkage at all. It’s connected to the following cultivator via a standardised either Cat 3 or 4N lower link cross shaft. Via this linkage system, the XTender-T can also be used in conjunction with implements from other manufacturers. Just the supply pipes to the

relevant implement must be made available or matched. As the maximum support load of the linkage is 4,500kg, the combined operation with bigger machinery on the rear of the XTender-T is also no problem. The hopper in its basic design is available as a single-compartment hopper with a 4,200-litre capacity. As an option it’s also available with a 50:50 division. Two easily-accessible, electrically-driven metering units, designed for application rates of 2–400kg/ha, are positioned to the rear of the hopper.

The XTender-T is actuated and controlled via Isobus. It can be operated via an Isobus terminal from Amazone or any other Isobus terminal. A special option is the TwinTerminal 3.0 which is wellknown from the seed drills as technology that makes calibration and residue-emptying as easy as possible. Thanks to the Isobus control, part-area site-specific application is also possible. In addition to the new XTender-T, Amazone already offers the XTender as a linkage-mounted hopper for the tractor 3-point hydraulics. ■

The KRM MaxiMulch features two rows of cutaway discs for high speed shallow cultivation, even residue incorporation and to encourage weed, volunteer seeds and Blackgrass to germinate. Each disc is mounted on a patented 3D system, improving penetration and mixing while at the same time reducing the power and fuel requirement when compared to traditional 2D systems. Patented TCS pan busting blades between the discs raise the soil profile in a wave, creating vertical fissures to enhance the existing soil structure for improved aeration and drainage and to encourage fast and deep root development.

Strip seeding switch delivers soil and time-saving beneﬁts The Redfearns’ 3m Claydon Hybrid operating at 10kph behind their John Deere 6930, drilling spring beans at the end of March 2017.

Investing in a 3m direct strip seeding drill has reduced crop establishment costs by 50 per cent on one Yorkshire farm in addition to providing significant agronomic benefits as well as freeing up time to take on other income-generating work. Third generation farmers whose family have lived at Park House Farm, Birkin near Knottingley for almost 100 years, Phil and Simon Redfearn farm 170ha, the majority of which is owned. In 2017, their predominantly medium loam soils were cropped with 70ha of Skyfall and Leeds winter wheat, 20ha of Harper oilseed rape, 17ha of Mulika spring milling wheat, together with 33ha of Fanfare spring beans for human

consumption and 30ha of grass. And while spring barley has become somewhat fashionable during the last couple of years, the Redfearns have been growing the crop for 11 years to widen the rotation and spread the workload, although it has now been switched to spring wheat to help with storage. They also introduced spring beans into the rotation well before the three-crop rule came into

being and in 2014 the crop produced the highest gross margin. Outlining the background to their current system Phil states: “Traditionally, we used a full cultivations programme. Straight behind the combine we went in with a Flat-Lift subsoiler fitted with a tine toolbar, then left the land to green over before spraying it off and then drilled with a 3m power harrow/ drill combination unit, which is still the standard approach in this area. It worked, but the big drawback was that the output was only 10–12ha/day which made it slow and expensive,” he explains. “We began looking at alternatives in 2010, specifically methods that would move less soil, create a better soil structure with increased organic matter, could deal with chopped straw and was faster and cheaper to operate. We were particularly keen to move away from PTO-driven equipment because of the additional wear and tear on the tractors which this type of equipment causes. It is a hidden cost

that most farms do not think about or account for, but one which is a real consideration in terms of increasing maintenance costs.

Well-proven The Claydon System was an obvious contender, continues Mr Redfearn. “It was well-proven and we had heard good reports from other farmers. When we visited the Claydon farm we saw just how good the soil structure could continued over...

be, even on heavy clay, and visited several other farms using the Claydon system on the same land as ours. What impressed us was how well the crops looked, their enthusiasm for the technique and the benefits they were achieving. At the time Claydon didn’t have a dealer network in our area and not many people knew much about them, so it was something new and different.” Their main concern was power availability. At the time, they operated two 125hp 6620 John Deere tractors and didn’t want to buy a new drill only to find that a larger tractor was needed as the additional expenditure would have negated any cost saving, so the 3m Claydon Hybrid was the obvious choice. Although it was the same width as the power harrow/drill combination

the output is much greater. Last year one 6620 was upgraded to a 50kph 6930 Premium, so either tractor can be used with the drill. “We first used the Claydon Hybrid in spring 2012 to drill spring barley into land where manure from our livery stables had been spread. With lots of straw to deal with it was a tough test of any drill, but we were pleasantly surprised at how well the Claydon Hybrid performed, even with 20cm of stubble. We drilled the headland first and then the main part of the field. Our John Deere 6620 pulled the drill easily, with the front tine set at 10–15cm, the A-share at 2.5–4.0cm and with the batter boards at the back levelling the ground. The crop emerged looking better than we could have ever hoped for. Despite the very wet autumn in 2012, they managed to get everything in the ground apart from one small area which had flooded. But, as soon as it dried out that area was drilled and the crop emerged well. It was too wet to roll, which did prompt them to

buy a following harrow for the back of the drill to assist seed coverage and level the field. “That has made a big difference and allows us to fine-tune the soil finish, leaving a lovely level surface and ideal conditions for the agchem to work,” comments Mr Redfearn.

Straightforward He says the Claydon Hybrid is very easy and straightforward to set up and a minimum of moving parts makes it much less expensive to own and operate than a combi-drill. The metering system is easy to calibrate and accurate, while the depth control is simple to adjust and maintains an even sowing depth, so it doesn’t need much adjustment. The Hybrid is a very functional and highly adaptable drill which works well and delivers very good results, he adds. “After just one season we noticed much greater worm activity and even where manures had been applied the previous autumn there was nothing much left on the surface in the spring as it had all been taken down into the soil. This has helped to bring about a progressive improvement in soil condition, fields are much more level and in the past four years we have not needed to subsoil because the drill’s

leading tine continually removes any surface compaction. “The beauty of it is that you can set it to move as much or as little soil as you like. The output is so great that establishing crops is done in half the time and with much better timeliness, so they go in under optimum conditions. The other components of our Claydon System are a 7.5m Claydon straw harrow and 12.0m rolls. After the crop has been combined and the straw chopped to 2.5–5.0cm, we go in with the straw harrow at 30 degrees to the combine wheelings. This operation ensures that the weed seeds and volunteers chit well and minimises carry over. If a second pass is required we operate at 30 degrees in the opposite direction so that fields are constantly levelled. “In the past we had to start drilling winter cereals in mid-September because our old system was slow and we couldn’t run the risk of the land turning wet. Last autumn we started in mid-October, which has helped to reduce weed populations. “The Claydon system generates a time saving of at least 50 per cent, which combined with all the other benefits makes a significant difference continued over...

to our bottom line. Wheat yields averaged over 10t/ha in 2014 and 2015, about 10–15 per cent higher than our previous establishment system,” he says. “You need patience to get the best out of the Claydon system – the increased output of the Hybrid drill compared with conventional methods allows you to drill at the optimum time and conditions. We can drill 20–25ha/ day of oilseed rape, 14–18ha of cereals and 12–16ha of beans, so there’s no need to rush. When it comes to establishing beans, I don’t think there is a better tool than the Claydon Hybrid. Our best year was 2014 when the crop averaged over 6.8t/ha and since then they have done 6.25–6.5t/ha. “Band sowing has significant advantages and there are visible differences between the Claydon System and traditional methods. We have noticed that Claydon-drilled crops are not the quickest out of the blocks, often because they have been drilled later as the output allows us to do that. But you learn not to be concerned because in the spring they seem to romp away and the establishment is much more even. “Perhaps the most extreme test was

in 2013 when I drilled a winter wheat into 12in high volunteer oilseed rape, which was then sprayed off to leave a wonderful crop, despite not using any slug pellets because the Claydon straw harrow had done such a good job of killing the adults and destroying eggs. “In 2016, we hardly used any slug pellets at all,” he adds. “Since changing to the Claydon system the hours that our tractors clock up have been substantially reduced and the fuel bill has dropped to less than half what it was. With the time saved we do work outside of the farm. Simon works on neighbouring farms from mid-September to November and I do contract Avadex spreading, which helps to bring in extra revenue.” ■

Winter wheat at the end of March was looking very consistent, the fields level after four years of using the Claydon system.

Control in the palm of your hand Bullock Tillage is launching a handheld GPS control system for its T15 air seeder range. The system has an inbuilt GPS receiver in the handset and is powered by an internal rechargeable battery pack. Communication between the handset and the applicator is via a wireless signal. The advantage of the new system is that the control box doesn’t need a power wire connection to the tractor or to the applicator. Control of the applicator can be tested or calibrated by the operator carrying the control box outside of the tractor cab. The system can be retrofitted to any existing machines and can operate any of the 12v applicators in the Bullock Tillage range. The T15 air seeder is available with

a 120 or 300 litre hopper capacity, and has become a popular choice for cover crop seeding, the company says. Also from Bullock Tillage, the BTC heavy-duty compact disc harrows are said to be ideal for fast shallow stubble cultivation, thanks to their high level of standard specification and ease of manoeuvrability. The integrated central running gear complete with brakes and suspension make for “excellent” road transport. The large distance between the disc units and the levelling boards and packer allows the soil to settle before being consolidated. To maintain an even working depth, two front support wheels follow the ground contours and ensure the disc units retain their set depth at the front. For this season, Bullock Tillage is launching the Kobalt, its first tined cultivator. It’s a compact 4-bar cultivator complete with levelling harrow and packer and is ideal for shallow stubble cultivation or more intensive soil mixing where crop residues, including manures and compost, need incorporating. ■ The GPS handset for the T15 air seeder.

Cultivation system options cater for all soil types With soil types varying considerably across farms, and even within individual fields, finding a cultivation system that gives a consistently high performance in most conditions is no easy task. That’s the view of JJ Metcalfe & Son, who says that its componentbased carbide-tipped NG system can be configured from a choice of four wing widths, four shin options and two points, all depending on the soil conditions and desired working depth. The NG system can be welded onto existing subsoiler leg tops, which the company offers to do, or new leg tops can be supplied to fit. The system has been designed to create the best soil structure for the crop, in turn bringing the highest yield possible. The company’s Mike Metcalfe says the smooth, streamlined shape allows the system to work at a high performance but with the lowest draft. However, he adds, it’s very important to look how the NG is

creating the right environment for the crop before considering fuel savings, as fuel can be wasted on parts that aren’t doing the job correctly. The NG system is designed in such a way that wear is reduced to a minimum, he adds. The interchangeable parts help to obtain the most out of each individual component and the tungsten carbide ensures that the system performs well throughout its entire working life. Exhibiting at Tillage-Live, JJ Metcalfe & Son looks forward to welcoming visitors to its stand and discussing the NG cultivation system options and how it could work for them.

Something for everyone With its exacting standards and use of hot drawn box sections as standard, German manufacturer Köckerling has built a reputation for making versatile machines with long working lives and low running costs. It produces a wide range of cultivators and drills to suit all different soil types and conditions. For large- and small-scale growers, there’s either a trailed or mounted machine to suit all types of cultivations, with trailed cultivators from 3.0–14.5m. The Allrounder, as the name suggests, is capable of a number of different tasks, including seedbed preparation after ploughing, opening soil for quicker drying, secondary stubble cultivations and primary cultivations in lighter conditions. The Quadro and Vector can be used for deeper working, or shallow working with the addition of wings. The Vector has full hydraulic depth control.

The Classic alternative is available from 3.0m mounted up to 12.5m trailed. All Köckerling cultivators and drills come with the renowned original STS (soil to soil) roller and have a very generous under-frame clearance for heavy trash conditions. Completing the package is a full parts and service back-up. ■

Stubble or plough? Cultivator handles both Now available in 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12m models, the popular Horsch Joker RT cultivator can be seen in action at the Tillage-Live event. The highly-flexible machine can be used on stubble and ploughed land thanks to a hydraulicallyoperated levelling board. This comprises a row of levelling paddles at the leading edge of the RT’s frame and adds greater flexibility to the machine. Horsch UK general manager Stephen Burcham says: “Since its debut in 2014, the Joker RT has

always appealed to operators who not only want to move to greater working widths, but also have a desire to do more operations with one machine. “With the latest Joker RT, you can cultivate stubble and then lower the levelling board to use the same machine directly onto ploughed land.” The machine features a longer frame to provide room for a double packer, while more space behind the cultivation discs provides more time for the soil to settle.

The importance of a quality chit The post-harvest pressure of planting the next crop is understandable, but if black-grass isn’t well-managed at this stage, there’s a good chance its levels will increase. That’s the experience of RemacSystem, which says that increasing weed resistance to chemicals is forcing an approach that combines all aspects of cultural and chemical control. Most important is to achieve the best-possible chit by not cultivating

too soon, it says. It’s good practice to keep all the residue as near to the top of the surface as possible by simply applying a light roller or using a topper. The warmth of the soil and the damp nights are ideal for creating the perfect chit. The ground can then be lightly cultivated, or the chit sprayed out. This works out cheaper and more effective in the long run, the company says.

Soil structure is important, it adds, as good drainage encourages crop competition while discouraging black-grass, which favours marshy conditions. Cultivations which loosen and mix soil horizons together benefit black-grass as its seeds can be distributed through the profile, rather than staying either near the surface where the chemical action is strongest, or buried at depths from where the seeds can’t emerge.

Maintaining soil horizons while providing an effective fissuring action therefore makes the Soil Loosener a valuable aid to blackgrass management. The loosening action is also focussed on shallow and medium depths, where most of today’s concerns lie. Generally, deeper soil damage is less frequent, and is usually best-solved by roots and nature in any case, says RemacSystem.

Flexible autumn cultivations Essex machinery trader J Brock & Sons has taken delivery of two new Farmet Fantom FX850 Pro 8.5m cultivators for the 2017 Autumn cultivation campaign.

Heavy duty tines and narrow spacing spread of five rows help it to cope with trashy conditions. “On the move adjustment is easy pvia a separate hydraulic circuit, allowing a change of working depth

to match changing soil types within a field,” says the company. The removable packer system coupled with multiple depth wheels allow use in different soil and weather conditions as pressure can be set accordingly or removed altogether.

Cultivations including Tillage-Live

Tillage-Live 2017 returns to Lincs Tillage-Live is set to return to Lincolnshire in 2017 with the event being held at Wickenby Aerodrome, Langworth, Lincoln, by the kind permission of Rainthorpe Farms Ltd.

Tillage-Live returns to Lincolnshire for 2017.

The event, which is being held on Thursday, 14 September 2017, will include working demonstrations, a static machinery display, and a knowledge trail which offers indepth information on areas such as cultivation and soil structure. Kayleigh Holden, who has taken over the running of Tillage-Live due to the retirement of Duncan Russell, said that the AEA is extremely pleased to be invited back to Wickenby Aerodrome which was last visited by the event in 2001. “The Wickenby Aerodrome site offers excellent facilities for manufacturers to showcase their machinery to potential customers and visitors alike, and we would like to thank Rainthorpe Farms for hosting the 2017 event.” This year’s Tillage-Live event will give growers an opportunity to see the top manufacturers in soil cultivation and crop establishment showcasing their products in a working environment. Lining up to demonstrate the latest technology are manufacturers such as Amazone, Claydon, and John Deere. New from Amazone is the XTender-T, a flexible-application, trailed distribution hopper running on a single axle. The XTender-T has been developed for farms looking to simultaneously apply fertiliser and/ or seed in combination with the soil tillage operation via a cultivator or compact disc harrow. Claydon has the TerraBlade Inter-Row Hoe; an effective, low-cost method of controlling weeds in all

types of combinable crops. John Deere’s new 8400R tractor recently set three new world records for fuel efficiency (field and transport) and maximum drawbar performance at the DLG test station in Germany. It beat its nearest competitors by almost 23 per cent in drawbar performance and lowered the combined fluid consumption figure for field work to only 247g/kWh. This translates into six per cent higher pulling capacity and a reduction in fuel consumption of up to two per cent compared to the previous top of the range 8370R model, enabling wider implements to be used to increase productivity and maximise total fluid efficiency.

Black-grass focus “A lot of manufacturers are turning their attention to tackling the ever increasing black-grass problem,” continued Kayleigh. “Tillage-Live gives farmers the chance to see machinery in action that may provide a solution whether it be a traditional route or a slightly different concept altogether.” Along with the working and static displays there will also be a Knowledge Trail giving further insight into key factors affecting cultivation and soil structure with NRoSO and BASIS points being available. Tillage-Live is the single biggest working cultivation event in the UK. The event is tailored to the needs of the arable farmer with a range of new and established machinery on display including ploughs, cultivators and drills. ■

Establishment strategy vital for OSR success Extreme drought made establishment of oilseed rape in the 2016/17 season challenging. However, at Highfields Farm in north Suffolk, despite the difficult conditions, Mike Allum achieved his best oilseed rape yield yet. Mr Allum (right) puts his success down to stringent attention to detail and knowing his fields inside out. “Since cabbage stem flea beetle became such an issue for us, we’ve had to spend much more time thinking about our establishment strategy. It comes down to the timeliness of drilling and the quality of the seed bed for us. You can’t drill oilseed rape into cobbles and get away with it,” he explains. “But when it comes to flea beetle management my advantage over larger farms is I only grow a small amount, so I can react to flea beetle damage quickly,“ adds Mr Allum. “We direct drill our oilseed rape with a Sumo cultivator in one pass. We try and go for minimal disturbance, without losing too much moisture, and roll the seedbed tight. Our neighbouring farm has pigs so we have an agreement for slurry, and that goes down as close as possible to the day before we drill. We use the Met Office weather data to inform us when to expect rain and we find it quite reliable.” Previously Mr Allum had grown sugar beet at Highfields Farm but has

since moved away from the break crop due to issues with weed beet. With beans not suited to on-farm conditions, he changed to oilseed rape, which has given him a good entry to wheat over the years. “We have light soil here so we decided to go with hybrid oilseed rape rather than a conventional due to hybrids’ superior rooting and vigour. We also have to factor cabbage stem flea beetle into our planning, and hybrid vigour plays its part there too.”

Highest yields The 2016/17 season produced Mr Allum’s highest oilseed rape yield on record at 5.1t/ha. This yield was achieved with a variety new to the farm, InVigor 1030 (InV1030). Mr Allum drilled the variety at 50 seeds/ m2 on 15th August 2016, a little earlier than usual, he points out. “Given the exceptionally dry conditions that followed, we were very lucky that it rained almost immediately after we had drilled InV1030. “We were impressed with how the variety looked through the season, particularly its evenness in areas of the field that normally look quite poor. We’ve had problems with lodging in the past so the variety’s high standing power was attractive, as well as its vigour and oil content (47.1 per cent). “It’s been a very dry year this year, but despite that the variety’s big stems and big roots have supported it, and allowed it to cope with the lack of moisture over a sustained period.”

New ﬂail gets tough Dutch firm Van Wamel has launched a new flail for its range of Perfect shredders, to operate in tough conditions, says the company. Until now, according to Van Wamel, it has been a difficult choice to make when buying a flail mower; a mower with small, straight flails for a neat cut, or heavy-duty flails for the toughest jobs with the occasional stone, chunk of wood or a piece of metal passing through the mower. The Perfect Combi-flail covers all requirements, it says. This brand new flail consists of a holder and a separate, permanently sharp, blade made of boron steel, weighing

2.7kg per flail. When the flail needs replacing, only the blade has to be replaced which saves cost and time. The Combi-flail is available on all Perfect heavy-duty flail mowers; the series KT, KM, ZF2, NX, RX, KX and all orchard flail choppers.

A retirement to remember

A fitting farewell cake for a brand-loyal servant.

A retirement reception was held for long-time John Deere salesperson Les Gilbert in late July at the Doubleday Group’s Swineshead depot. Les had ‘only’ been with the dealer since 2011, but had been selling John Deere tractors and machinery for almost 30 years. About 100 Doubleday customers turned out for the hog roast send-off, witnessing John Deere managing director Jonathan Henry present Les with the manufacturer’s gift of a model John Deere tractor. Doubleday’s retirement gift was a cruise for Les and his wife. ■

Levelling, Cultivation and Contour Following Consolidation all in one machine

Broader product portfolio In keeping with Fendt’s full line strategy, Challenger track tractors and sprayers are now to be integrated under the Fendt banner. Part of the project involves relocating production of Challenger products from Agco in Grubbenvorst in the Netherlands to the Hohenmölsen Agco production site in Germany, where trailed sprayers and various Fendt Katana forage harvester models are already made. The new structures in production and sales/marketing divisions are expected to increase efficiency “appreciably”. R&D and other key functions will stay at Grubbenvorst. According to current planning, Fendt dealers will be able to offer and sell the Fendt track tractors and sprayers following Agritechnica in November, with the first deliveries to end customers in the first quarter of 2018. Agco stresses that these changes apply only in Europe and the Middle East sales region.

Potatoes

Power on the Land Mike Williams brings you this month’s edition of Power On The Land looking at the latest developments in the potato machinery sector.

The 4-row Ploeger AR4BX bunker harvester is in its second UK season.

For farms growing both potatoes and onions, being able to adapt a potato harvester for lifting onions is a big advantage, spreading the capital cost over a bigger acreage. The recently announced Quick Fit system introduced for the Ploeger range of self-propelled potato harvesters from Norfolk based PMC Harvesters is designed to simplify the conversion process, taking less than an hour to switch from potatoes to onions. For lifting onions, Quick Fit lowers the front of the intake to collect two windrows and, as Mark Croal of PMC explained, it enables growers with a tight delivery schedule to harvest both crops on the same day.

Ploeger potato harvesters are made in Holland by PMC’s parent company and are available in 3- and 4-row versions with a 12.7-litre Scania engine driving a hydrostatic transmission. BX models have a bunker holding 12t, and the 1.5t capacity holding hopper on W models is used during headland turns and trailer changing. The latest Ploeger harvesters have a distinctive gold and green colour finish introduced last year.

A sweet thing Recent additions to the Standen Engineering machinery range include the TSP1900 harvester for sweet potatoes. It was developed initially for growers in the United States, but Standen is also looking at other potential export markets. The TSP1900 is a 2-row trailed harvester based on an open-plan tubular chassis with excellent driver visibility and maintenance access. It can be used on 28–36in row widths and the design includes independent left and right side depth control. Sweet

Standen Engineering developed the TSP1900 harvester for sweet potatoes.

potatoes need gentle handling to avoid damage, and Standen’s Omega separation system plus low lift and drop heights are important design features. Main centres for sweet potato production are in Africa, Asia and South America, with the Middle East and United States also major producers. Sweet potato sales in the UK are increasing helped by healthy eating benefits, and predictions of an expansion in the current small scale UK production could provide an additional market for the TSP1900.

Automation Robots have had a huge impact in the manufacturing industry, but farming offers fewer opportunities for automation and progress has been slower. One of the exceptions is loading potato packs on pallets, a task

that is strenuous and time-consuming with manual labour but is well suited to the efficiency and high outputs offered by robots. Robots began taking over the palletising work in packhouses for potatoes and other root crops in the 1990s, and David Harrison Handling Solutions was among the first companies to offer a specialised installation service and it is now one of the biggest UK suppliers. David Harrison sales manager Gary Palmer, says choosing the most suitable robot and planning the installation details are important, and he normally makes the initial site visit. His company offers two ranges of robots for loading pallets, starting with the entry-level Prinsen range providing work rates up to 10tph, while robots from the Symach range can achieve faster work rates and handle packs weighing between 5–50kg.

Efficiency Recent developments in the Tong Engineering range of handling equipment include the addition of advanced control systems to increase efficiency. An example is the addition of a highly proactive continued over...

Weigh it. Bag it. Stack it

...and give away as little as 5 grams on a 25 Kg bag. Whatever the state of the potato market, rely on David Harrison to have the handling solutions to meet your needs. From simple Prinsen palletisers to the Symach’s ‘all singing, all dancing’ alternatives and from the incredibly accurate Prinsen weigher baggers to the tough and reliable SFC stitching line, they will keep your packhouse profitable and, with expert backup, fully operational. And when times are tough Harrison have the UK’s largest stock of used and refurbished potato handling systems.

The new module provides continuous monitoring, enabling the user to check the operation of an individual machine or line. As well as providing regular assurances that the equipment is running efficiently, the module produces alerts when equipment needs checking or maintenance, pinpointing the exact location of items needing attention, helping to minimise maintenance costs and reducing downtime. Another example of using technology to boost efficiency is the recent addition of trailer reversing sensors as an option on the Tong Caretaker mobile grader. Based on the technology that operates

Handling equipment Although harvesters attract much of the limelight in the Grimme machinery range, potato handling equipment also makes a major contribution to the sales success. The newest addition to the range is the innovative CleanLoader designed to combine cleaning and loading functions in the harvest field, reducing the amount of soil and trash to be dealt with in the packhouse. The CleanLoader is based on Grimme’s large capacity 24-60 reception hopper with the cleaning action provided by two coil units. It is road legal, has its own diesel engine and the design enables potatoes to be off-loaded over a boundary fence or ditch to avoid trailers or trucks entering the harvest field. Reception hoppers are an important feature in Grimme’s handling equipment, including the entry level RH12-40E and RH-16-40E models for smaller acreages. The RH12-40 Combi version with a self-

Goes against the ﬂow Soil erosion caused by rainfall and/ or irrigation is an acknowledged problem associated with modern, intensive agriculture. Especially where the topography is adverse, soil often ends up as sediment in rivers, increasing the risk of flooding and there’s an increased likelihood of diffuse pollution by fertilisers and pesticides. And the problem is greatly increased where high-value

root crops are grown, says Bye Engineering, manufacturer of the BE Wonder Wheel. Crop-suitable soil types are more susceptible, the cultivation methods and techniques that are used increase the risk of erosion through run-off, usually on raised bed systems in association with destoning, and high levels of irrigation tend to be used, it says. The BE Wonder Wheel has been specifically designed, developed

The profile generated is one of heaps and hollows. These continuously catch and dam running water in small quantities. The profile also directs the water from the centre of the wheelings to the edges, where it can continuously infiltrate into the crop rooting zone.

Representing excellence Forfar-based Netherton Tractors says that it is proud of the high level of success that it’s had in its first year as agents for Miedema and Dewulf, in particular with the Miedema belt planter which it says offers an industry-leading performance. The Miedema Structural belt planter is said to be ideal for planting a wide range of seed potatoes quickly and accurately. Its advanced technology allows the spacing in the row to be varied regardless of the size of the potato. The result is optimum

stem distribution and a more homogeneous end product, says Netherton Tractors. Even pre-germinated potatoes can be planted easily and without sprout damage, it adds. The dealer can also supply a comprehensive range of in-store equipment, including box-fillers. The main product that Netherton Tractors offers is the RCA3060 harvester which, over the past few years, has been specifically developed to suit the Scottish market, the dealer says.

Phased release of harvester info Dewulf has expanded its range with a new 2-row trailed offset potato harvester with bunker. The Torro is a compact, reliable, light harvester said to guarantee optimum product quality and combines harvesting capacity with minimum requirements in terms of tractor performance. It will be officially unveiled during Potato Europe 2017, which takes place at Emmeloord in the Netherlands on 13th and 14th September.

Every week in the run-up to the show, Dewulf is releasing via social media additional details of the new machine and the various innovative features that distinguish it in its specific segment. The company has also launched a dedicated web page, http://innovation. dewulfgroup.com/en/torro, that gives access to the first footage of the Torro in action on a test field. A limited pre-series will be built this year, with full production starting in 2018.

Mobile machine now even more so Fast turnaround from field to lorry with the Fieldloader.

Tong Engineering is promoting new design options for its popular Fieldloader, including automatic features that make it even more compact for road transport. And one of the UK’s largest single farming units, Elveden Farms, appreciates its first machine so much it now has a second in production. The Fieldmaster is a mobile system for effective in-field crop-cleaning and inspection straight from the harvester loading directly into bulker lorries for immediate distribution. Tong Engineering export sales manager Charlie Rich says: “The machine is increasingly popular as

soil is removed in the field and kept off the roads. Transport is also significantly reduced as there’s no need to take the crop to a central yard or location. “It reduces crop-handling times, allowing tight deadlines to be met and for crop to be delivered in optimum condition straight from the field.” The Fieldloader incorporates a heavy-duty infeed hopper, crop cleaner, inspection area and integrated extending elevator, all in one mobile unit. And its new options are set to offer even better transportability and manoeuvrability between fields and farm. “While some operate the Fieldloader in the yard, many others move it between fields,” says Charlie. “Bearing this in mind, we’ve

designed a new model incorporating a transport-mode option featuring a powered elevator section that automatically retracts under the cleaning and inspecting sections, making the unit as short as possible for towing on the road.” The standard machine is about 22m long in full operation, but reduces to a little less than 15m in transport mode. Meanwhile foldable conveyors also make it as narrow as possible. The new design can also include further transport options including full suspension, brakes, machine lighting and steering. All the latest models are powered by Tong Engineering’s Blue Inverter Technology with all-electric direct drive, meaning they run very efficiently with minimal energy consumption, something that’s a key consideration when using them in the field, says Charlie. There’s a choice of crop-cleaning systems including the company’s market-leading EasyClean separator or its adjustable coil cleaning unit for lighter soil conditions. The latest models also have

wireless remote control of the extending elevator giving complete control over bulker filling without moving the Fieldloader. Tong Engineering’s Pro-Series HMI Control system with sophisticated diagnostics capabilities can be specified for added control and advanced machine monitoring and reporting. Farming more than 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres) on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, Elveden Farms is currently operating a custom-built Fieldloader to clean and load its carrot and onion crops straight from the field. To achieve higher throughputs to keep up with demand the company has now ordered a second machine, complete with the latest transportmode options, which will also be used for potatoes. Farm manager Andrew Francis says: “Our original Fieldloader has streamlined our post-harvest crophandling times and has allowed us to achieve a very quick turnaround from field to bulker lorries. “We look forward to increasing our capacity even further with a second machine.” ■

Potatoes

Satisfying solution for chipping supplier New plant is taking the drudgery out of potato bagging and palletising for one family farming on the Cheshire Plain. Being roughly halfway between Manchester and Liverpool guarantees JE Horton a ready market for quality chipping potatoes. Since 2006 the business at Weaver View Farm has increased its planted area from 120 to 300 acres (48 to 120 hectares) to satisfy demand. Edward Horton and son Richard favour early chipping varieties including Accord, Amora, Arcade and Miranda. In all they also grow about 1,000 acres (400ha) of combinable crops and keep 150 sheep, largely for ground maintenance, much on land the family has farmed since the sixteenth century. Following a bumper year in 2016 the Hortons took the decision to upgrade their bagging operations with a new bagger/stitcher line made by the Sack Filling Company of Braintree, Essex, and a fully computerised Symach palletiser, both supplied and installed by David Harrison Handling Systems. Previously the family had relied on

an ageing Morray stitcher supplied by David Harrison 10 years ago and a basic Herdi palletiser. “It needed the Herdi plus four or five lads also stacking and shifting pallets from 8am–6pm to complete 90 pallets. After a couple of weeks you wanted to be somewhere else,” says Richard. “We were turning orders down in 2016 and still killing ourselves. Now we can complete 100 pallets by 5pm with just myself and two lads on the stitching line which gives 60 per cent more throughput than the Morray.” The Symach palletiser is designed for fast, efficient and gentle handling and has a modular construction that allows the addition of ancillary equipment as operational demands arise. Horton’s new Symach Mach2 is handling up to 16 x 25kg bags per minute and offers a range of programmable stacking patterns. High-volume Symach models can handle up to 28 x 25kg bags a minute, equivalent to 37t per hour. All models can handle bags and sacks from 5–50kg. The Hortons are palletising 40 or

45 x 25kg bags, according to transport and customer requirements. “Besides an everincreasing range of alternative fast food, many fish fryers had reduced their chip portions, in response to healthy eating concerns and increased prices. Both of which impact on the orders they’re placing with us,” says Richard.

“The increased flexibility offered by the new scheme allows the company to respond quickly to market trends. There’s money to be made even in a year like 2017.” ■

Harvester garners rich praise Julian Perowne with one of Jack Buck Farms’ T2s.

British manufacturer Standen Engineering’s best-selling harvester continues to be the T2 potato harvester. The firm says that its policy of continuous improvement has resulted in positive feedback from growers, with particular emphasis on how gentle the machine is. Jack Buck Farms’ Julian Perowne, who runs two T2 harvesters on the 600 hectare (1,500 acre) Lincolnshire farm, says: “The flow of product through the machine is so gentle with no drops

that we’ve never recorded any damage with samples taken from this harvester.” The T2 is designed to create minimal damage to the crop while maximising efficiencies, and is available with multiple separator options to cover many crops including potatoes, onions, carrots, parsnips, red beet and celeriac. Standen Engineering’s sales director David Wilson says: “It’s encouraging to receive positive comments such as those from Julian. We’re very pleased with how the T2 is performing. “We build all our machinery at our Ely factory. I think there’s a perception that we merely assemble bought-in components, but we’re a traditional engineering company. Steel comes in at one end of the factory and working machinery comes out at the other. “We have the ability to be very flexible in our offering and make machinery to match the exact requirements of our customers.”

Storage matters With this year seeing change in the requirements needed to use CIPC in potato stores, Bennett & Co has been busy preparing stores with suction walls and inverter fan controls. It’s not too late to act on these changes, says the company’s Mike Bennett, who can offer help and advice. The company is working on a number of potato and onion storage projects for 2018, both box and bulk, using the latest storage techniques. Anyone planning a new storage project might benefit from a visit to Bennett & Co’s web site, where new project planning pages list a range of things that need to be considered. For example, if the proposed site is to be on fenland, which typically has a low soil-bearing capacity, the firm, working with experienced structural engineers, can provide solutions for all land needs, such as piling, watercourses and ponds. Working with specialist groundwork subcontractors allows the foundations and bases to be well-prepared prior to erection of the storage facilities. Mike says that he is also experienced in submitting complex

planning applications and liaising with the relevant planning authority. This may well include environmental considerations, such as surveys to minimise impact on wildlife, landscaping the site, noise surveys and any potential effect on the local area. Whether building new or revamping existing storage facilities, Bennett & Co offers a complete turnkey solution. ■ 09R10B

Potatoes

Bunker harvesters relieve lifting logistics

East Yorkshire grower, Sam Smales.

Switching to self-propelled potato harvesters with bunker facility has helped to significantly reduce overwhelming diesel and labour costs associated with running a large potato growing operation in East Yorkshire. Before the introduction of bunker harvesters to Jack & Andrew Smales partnership based at Manor Farm in Burton Pidsen, a fleet of up to 18 trailers was needed to transport the potato crop up to 16 miles back to its 10,000t ambient store and a more

recent 2,500t cold storage facility for bulk and box storage potatoes off the bagging line. Potatoes are grown for a number of markets including processing for McCains, pubs and fish and chip shops, including their own called the Frying Farmer at Aldbrough, East Yorkshire, as well as free buy. Yields average about 44t/ha and main early varieties grown include Innovator and Fontaine, while later varieties include Pentland Dell for McCains.

We manufacture, supply & build... • Cubicle Buildings • Lambing Sheds • Dairy Units • Workshops • Grain Stores • Industrial Units • Bespoke Design

In addition to the 400ha potato operation, the farming family runs a hill farm in the Dales along with the arable enterprise at Manor Farm. In 2017 all the company’s potatoes were grown on rented land, with the furthest away location at Easington. Sam Smales points out that land available for potatoes is on the increase because growers are turning to root crops in their rotations to help with black-grass control. Planting starts in May and is achieved using a Grimme GB215 belt planter pulled by a Fendt 724 at a speed of 12kph along with direct fertiliser injection in one operation. Omex suspension fertiliser is also applied on top of the ploughing prior to bed-tilling using a local contractor. For lifting, two self-propelled Grimme Tectron 415s with 15t bunkers, a Standen T3 harvester and a hired-in Grimme GT170 are employed. The company’s first Tectron was bought in 2014 to replace two GBS selfpropelled machines. A second Tectron was bought in 2016 to help cope with an extra 160ha of potatoes. “As well as being able to cope with our potato crop expansion, the bunker facility on the Tectron also meant we could cut down on the number of trailers needed in the field. At the time it wasn’t unusual to have up to 12 carts in the field and, when further away from the farm, this could easily go up to 18 carts. Labour and diesel costs had become ridiculous,” says Mr Smales. At a cost of around £650,000 for a new Tectron, Mr Smales says the service and back-up from Grimme York plus its spare parts facility was a key factor. Downtime dealing with breakdowns was not an option and so far he has been impressed with the ‘fault management diagnostics’, which can be sorted by phone without having to wait for a technician on site.

He says the introduction of the first Tectron allowed all the carts required previously to be removed from the operation, and be replaced with one 18t bulker that sits on the edge of the field. The harvesters can now drive to the bulker to minimise field movements and ultimately compaction issues. “Our aim is to have a Tectron plus one of the trailed harvesters in the field at the same time,” says Mr Smales. “This allows us to get in and out quickly and reduces the total number of trailer movements back to the yard. Having a choice of lifting system gives the grower cultivation options and ultimately more flexibility.” The Tectron has a Terra drum at the front which is unique to this machine and its purpose is to distribute the weight between the track and the lifting area. With the lifting system suspended out in front of the harvester there is no smearing or contact with the ground, explains Mr Smales. But being able to control how much soil is lifted with the potatoes helps to minimise bruising, which can be an issue with varieties such as Innovator. “Modifications on our new Tectron related to stability issues in the earlier models have helped enormously,” says Mr Smales. “The 15t bunker sits directly over the track and helps reduce the centre of gravity and a 6in wider track and larger diameter wheel at the rear gives a wider footprint and improves stability further.” “The Tecton also has unbelievable turning – on the headland it comes straight back in on itself to take the next four rows, and this helps minimise shunting on the headlands,” he concludes, “and visibility from the Claas-built cab with Grimme seat and armrest is also excellent and is further enhanced with eight external cameras.”

New Products

Loader adds to tractor’s versatility The MClassic loader on the X2.

A hydraulic loader for McCormick X2 series compact tractors is being introduced by distributor AgriArgo UK. With mechanical parallel linkage fitted as standard for ease of use and added safety, the MClassic 25 loader adds to the versatility of the 43, 47 and 54hp mechanical drive tractors. The company’s Ray Spinks says: “The X2 tractors are small but durable machines that are often used as scraper tractors on dairy farms. “With a loader fitted, the little tractor becomes even more useful, especially as it can access buildings and other locations that are denied to larger, more powerful tractors and handlers.”

With a capacity of 740kg from the ground to the full lift height of 2.64m, the MClassic loader will typically handle a 530kg payload when equipped with a multipurpose bucket. To minimise the risk of spillage back onto the operator, especially important without a cab, mechanical self-levelling of the attachment is fitted as standard. A quick-attach faceplate makes it easy to switch between different implements and a hydraulic third service is installed for operating attachments such as a muck fork with grab or a four-in-one bucket. Boom and implement carriage movements are controlled by a cable joystick, making it easy to manipulate the loader and position it accurately. The lack of joint welds in the loader’s one-piece curved arms add to the durability of a design that, in its lowered position, keeps the attachment as near to the front of the tractor as possible for compactness and good lift performance.

New tractor is “small but substantial” A basic-spec tractor that offers plenty of performance in a low-price package made its debut at the Royal Welsh Show in July. The Landini 4-075D is available in 2 and 4wd forms, has a simple transmission operated by floor-mounted gear levers and lacks any plastic cladding except for the steering column surround and instrument panel.

Livestock News

New industry ﬁgures provide compelling reasons to reseed Livestock farmers in two minds about whether or not to reseed their grass this autumn should check out latest industry figures which provide compelling financial reasons for investing in a new sward for next spring – that’s the advice being offered by the agriculture team at Barenbrug UK. Using new industry numbers, Barenbrug has calculated that farmers who don’t reseed this autumn could be missing out on grass dry matter worth around £360/ha on a 2-cut silage system. A sward established at the end of the 2017 grass-growing season has the potential (in 2018) to produce around 11.63t of dry matter (DM/ha) from two cuts. That’s around 2.6tDM/ha more grass than an old field made up of 50 per cent weed and 50 per cent productive species, which would typically yield around 9t DM/ha. Costs are based on the assumption that DM is valued at £140/t and gains calculated do not take into account any additional cuts or autumn grazing that could increase yields further.

Added value When it comes to energy, the value of a reseed becomes even more convincing, says Barenbrug. The yield from two cuts of a new sward could have an equivalent energy value of 133,320MJ. That’s enough energy to produce 25,150 litres of milk; more than 2,050kg of lamb; or around 2,400kg of beef. With a new grass ley, cut at the optimum growth stage, a 72D silage with an ME of 11.5 should be easily achievable. In comparison, an old sward would have a D value of between 60-65D and ME levels of between 9.6–10.4. Compared with a new sward, that’s a potential energy loss of 43,320MJ. In lost production and profit potential that equates to approximately: • 8,170 litres of milk – at 26.7 pence per litre – is >£2,181 • More than 785kg of beef – at 364pp/kg – is >£2,857 • More than 665kg of lamb – at 461pp/kg – is >£3,065 New ryegrass swards will also use nitrogen more efficiently. Ryegrass species are 100 per cent N efficient while weed grasses such as annual meadow grass are only 17 per cent

When it comes to energy, the value of a reseed becomes even more convincing, says Barenbrug.

efficient. This means that for every £100 of N applied to an old sward up to £83 could be wasted.

Persuasive “Around the country we know there are lots of farmers who are cautious about reseeding,” said Barenbrug UK R&D manager, Mhairi Dawson. “We appreciate this kind of work can feel like a major investment and a big decision for any farm business but when you look at the figures, they are incredibly persuasive. The outlay relating to a reseed can seem costly upfront but if you weigh up the gains to be had in terms of DM and milk and animal yields, it’s clear that there are compelling reasons for spending money on a new sward. If your grass is underperforming and has less than 50 per cent of sown

species, it’s far better to invest in some new seed rather than wasting money on fertiliser, which you would be feeding to weed grasses that have little or no nutritional value. “The key to maximising your return on grass is to make sure that soil is in tip-top condition before reseeding or over-seeding. Even the very best performing ryegrasses cannot be expected to grow in soil that is sub-standard. Like any other crop, the first step when reseeding must be to make sure that soil structure, and phosphate (P), potash (K), N and pH levels are optimised for success,” he added. ■

Livestock News

New hands to the pump Machinery and dairy equipment dealers in Cumbria and south-west Scotland have been appointed to provide service and parts support to users of Bauer slurry pumps, separators and related equipment. Electrical and dairy engineering company, Colin Dawson is now supplying Bauer parts and slurry equipment from its Langwathby base near Penrith, as is James Gordon through its six branches covering Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway. Bauer’s Adrian Tindall says: “Accessible service and parts support for slurry storage and handling equipment is essential for dairy and

other livestock farms, especially for those located within Nitrate Vulnerable Zones. “The appointment of Gordons and Colin Dawson means that equipment already in use will continue to be supported, and people can invest in new Bauer and FAN slurry equipment knowing local parts and service support is available.” At James Gordon, group sales manager Kevin Fraser points out that the company has prior experience of servicing Bauer separators and pumps, and welcomes the opportunity to be supplying these and other products from the range.

Andrew and Kathleen Dawson in the stores at Colin Dawson.

He says: “We’re holding a comprehensive stock of parts, such as separator screens and augers, pump components and the original hose coupling invented by Bauer, to ensure we can supply whatever our customers need as quickly as possible.” Colin Dawson specialises in electrical engineering and dairy equipment installation, with agencies for Dairymaster milking systems and Serap milk-cooling equipment. Managing director Colin Dawson and the company’s service technicians, son Andrew and Dean Hunter, are fully-qualified electrical engineers. For

the company’s new role supporting Bauer customers, the service team has attended product and technical training sessions at Bauer’s headquarters in Austria. Andrew Dawson says: “We’re currently building a stock of wearing and service parts for Bauer pumps, separator and other equipment, and will continue to expand our stock as the business develops to ensure we provide a quick and efficient service to our customers.” ■

East Anglian mobile milling service Red Bull Farming’s Aston and Liz Ridgewell are a Suffolk-based husband and wife team providing a milling and mixing service throughout East Anglia. As stock keepers themselves, they say they understand the industry and the importance of reliability and quality of service, and point out that the company is fully

compliant with assurance schemes. Red Bull Farming operates a Buschhoff mobile mill which can deliver consistent milling and mixing of cereals to create tailor-made feed for individual farm requirements. The couple point out that they are keen to provide a friendly and personal service to farmers now, and in the future, and this is confirmed

by Cambridgeshire farmers Brian and Helen Baker who say that the Ridgewells are “down-to-earth, reliable people offering competitive prices”. Essex farmer Paul Reeve adds: “They are very friendly and professional and understand my feeding requirements. The mix is consistent, time after time”.

Wayland Show

Lovedays’ Lincoln Red claims supreme champion Judging for the beef interbreed championships at the Wayland Show.

at Stowmarket in Suffolk was named reserve interbreed champion. Mrs Watson said the Dorset Down had “presence to die for and legs in four corners, but just wasn’t quite as wellfleshed as the Southdown”.

Large White

Cattle returned to the show-rings at Wayland Show in Norfolk last month – after organisers decided to cancel the classes last year due to concerns over the spread of bovine tuberculosis. Clemmie Gleeson reports. The morning of classes with around 140 entries concluded when a panel of judges named a 2-year-old Lincoln Red heifer, Yarn Hill Polly, from James and Shannon Loveday as their supreme champion. Polly was later also chosen as the 2017 Show champion of champions – when champion animals from each section (cattle, sheep, goats, horses, dogs and fur and feather) were judged against each other. The award, which was sponsored by Wayland Farms, carried a £250 prize and the Norman

Sculfer Memorial Silver Salver. Polly is one of just a handful of Lincoln Reds in the Lovedays’ Horsford-based herd which otherwise consists of commercial cattle which they fatten. James and Shannon bought Polly from the Yarn Hill herd based in Iken, Suffolk. She is in-calf to Warmer Piper. The win comes after she was named reserve interbreed champion at the Royal Norfolk in June. Reserve interbreed champion went to Anita Padfield and Paul Barwood for

She has had a very successful show season winning interbreed honours at South of England, Suffolk, Royal Norfolk, Kent and Lincoln. Jenny is three years old and was shown with a heifer calf – Brambles Naughty But Nice – at foot.

Southdown shearling Meanwhile in the sheep rings a panel of judges named a Southdown shearling ram from Jim and Patsy Cresswell as their interbreed champion. The winning ram was one of twins out of an 8-year-old ewe in April 2016. The Cresswells’ Wattisfield flock is based in the village of the same name near Diss in Norfolk. Judge Carol Watson said the interbreed champion had “legs in four corners and was full of meat throughout with real presence and was really good with his leg motion”.

Pig judge Maria Naylor chose a Large White sow from Teresa Cook’s Millfield herd as her interbreed champion. The two-year-old dry sow Portbredy Mapleleaf has had three litters and is part of the Snape, Suffolk-based herd which consists of both Large White and Gloucester Old Spot sows. She was handled by stockman Ian Ross who was visibly delighted with the win. Reserve interbreed honours went to a Large Black July gilt from Paul Churchyard’s Breckles herd based near Attleborough in Norfolk. Mrs Naylor said: “It is very difficult to judge the different breeds together but this Large White is a cracking sow and stood out among the others. The Large Black is also a very nice gilt but the Large White had it over her.” ■

Heifers sell to £1,360

Held at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, the festival showcases the very best of commercial and pedigree livestock.

Winter Stock Festival to celebrate its 10th year Returning for its 10th year, the 2017 East of England Winter Stock Festival will take place on a new date of Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd December. Held at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, the festival showcases the very best of commercial and pedigree livestock, along with the latest trends and technologies in agriculture. “The 2017 Winter Stock Festival will build upon its previous success to deliver a modern event, that caters for everyone with an interest in livestock production,” says Festival Show Director, William Haire. “Along with 120 cattle classes and 38 sheep classes, we are delighted to announce the new addition of 25 classes for pigs, and can confirm an excellent line-up of judges.” Colin Phillips, highly respected stockman and renowned judge, will lead the commercial cattle judging. Mr Phillips, who farms in Herefordshire, has achieved great success in the showring and has judged at many of the country’s leading agricultural shows. Commercial sheep will be judged by Tom Elliot, of Elliot’s Butchers and Delicatessens, in Northamptonshire. He brings experience as both a

farmer and a butcher, giving him an invaluable combination of market insight and commercial understanding. With the introduction of pig classes for the first time, Rodney Philips joins the line-up as commercial pig judge. As a wholesale butcher, Mr Philips brings a wealth of knowledge on market demands, putting him in good stead to judge the new classes. As part of the Winter Stock Festival’s commitment to helping the industry respond to challenges through collaboration and innovation, the 2017 event will also feature an expanding area dedicated to knowledge exchange. Welcoming some of the industry’s top experts, this area will include seminars and demonstrations, as well as trade exhibits. Also firmly established in the festival’s programme is the highly coveted College Challenge and Young Stockperson of the Year competitions. Both competitions have become hugely popular since they were first introduced in 2011, with a record 30 teams competing in last year’s College Challenge.

Livestock Sales

Buyers countrywide to ﬂock to annual Skipton NEMSA highlights Members of the North of England Mule Sheep Association (NEMSA) are looking forward with great anticipation to their annual high profile ewe lamb shows and sales, which begin this month at Skipton Auction Mart and are again expected to attract buyers from the length and breadth of the country. The opening NEMSA showcase on Tuesday, September 5, remains one of the leading fixtures of its kind in the North of England and the first major Mule lamb sale of the year. The second sale takes place a fortnight later on Tuesday, September 19, followed by the annual open prize show and sale on Tuesday, October 3. The two September highlights

both feature sponsored show classes for pens of 10s and 20s, plus cash prizes from CCM Auctions for the day’s leading flock averages. They constantly attract quality sheep from NEMSA members right across the North of England. In 2016, over 20,000 mules were successfully sold across all three sales. In turn, buyers from near and far seeking to source first-class mule gimmer lambs, primarily for breeding, are regularly seen at the Skipton ringside, including long distance travellers from around the country. From East Anglia, fourth generation lowland farmer Gareth Daniels, of Little Barningham in Norfolk, will again be at the ringside.

At 2015’s opening sale, he was one of the show judges and took home both the champion 10s and 20s pens from well-known local breeders Ashley and Rachael Caton, of Otterburn, who have won multiple Skipton NEMSA championships over the years. Mr Daniels regularly sources top-end mules at Skipton, around 50–100 every year. “They are ideal for our conditions and thrive. As in past years, we will again put our ewe lambs to Charollais tups in the first year and Suffolk rams the year after, and their ewe lambs will join our early flock,” he explained. Mr Daniels keeps his flock at Wolterton Park, near Aylsham and also runs Green Farm Lamb in Little Barningham, which supplies prime

lambs to retail butchers, pubs and restaurants across the region, as well as his local abattoir. ■

Lawsons return to land another Craven Dairy Auction title With more first calvers now coming through, the Lawson family, which runs the Newbirks pedigree Holstein Friesian herd at Arthington in Wharfedale, made a welcome return to Skipton Auction Mart to win its first Craven Dairy Auction championship of the year with a heifer from its long-established and milk-rich Jazz family (Monday August 7, CCM Auctions). Father and daughter, David and Suzy Lawson, who bagged five dairy championships at Skipton last year, got back to winning ways with

their first-prize newly calven heifer, Newbirks Jazz 1710, by the Genus sire, De-Su History, out of Jazz 1469. Two weeks-calved and giving 30 litres, the victor sold for a saletopping £2,000 to ringside regular Brian Blezard, of Ribchester. So too did the reserve champion, the first prize newly calven cow from Cumbrian vendor Wilson Stewart, who runs the Straidnahanna pedigree herd at Low Hesket, south of Carlisle, which was first established in Ballyclare, Northern Ireland, in 1954 by his late

father and uncle, James and Joseph Stewart. The 28 days-calved second calver, giving 42 litres, made £1,800, top price in class. Mr Stewart also stepped up with the second prize newly calven cow, sold for £1,400. The Lawsons were also responsible for the second prize newly calven heifer, again a Jazz – number 1713 in the line – by another Genus sire, Matcrest Sham Charlie, out of Jazz 1616. Calved for five weeks and giving 32 litres, she too joined Mr Blezard for £1.950.

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago

In a report in the September 1992 edition of Farmers Guide on the East of England Show at Peterborough, it was noted that over 3in of rain had fallen in 14 hours and the local fire brigade was called in, at a cost of £125/hr, to pump 8,000 gallons of water from the WI tent and 4,000 gallons from the art exhibition! Farmers Guide included a feature on a new range of Fiatagri combines and balers. There were two 6-straw walker combines with hydrostatic transmission, 240hp Iveco diesel engines and integral straw choppers. A new Fiatagri big round baler with a 1.94m wide pick-up and 98 spring pick-up tines was the widest model in its class and the latest big square baler made 480kg straw bales. With the straw burning ban just around the corner, the Silsoe Research Institute had developed a straw slicing machine for the paper making industry. The machine broke up 0.5t Hesston square bales before a set of rotating discs sliced the straw into 30mm lengths ready for pulping.

In farm machinery news, it was reported that Simba, with a 60 per cent share of the UK trailed disc market, had launched a new Double Disc Plow and Top Tilth combination, and Bomford Turner introduced a new range of setaside mowers. The new mowers ranged from a 3.0m cut model to 4.6m set-aside mower for 100hp + tractors and a £9,125 price tag. Ernest Cozens previewed a five-page survey on combination drills by noting that Howard had introduced a seed drill mounted on a Rotaspike in the early 1970s and, on the arrival of the power harrow ten years later, farmers had the choice of several makes of power harrow/drill combinations. It was explained that with the aid of electronics, combination drill design now gave an accuracy and reliability which allowed reduced seed rates and new coulter designs, avoided blockages and maintained a uniformity in depth of drilling. Combination drill manufacturers at the time included Amazone, Ben Burgess, Ferrag, Kongskilde and Lely. The 3 and 4m BB Combi harrows, made by Norfolk based Ben Burgess, had Dutch harrow tines mounted on a toolbar, followed by a levelling board and a close coupled Accord drill. The 3m model was priced at £2,250 and an extra PTO drive was available for air drills. And finally, a new world record for the fastest production of 13 X 1lb loaves of bread from a standing crop of wheat was achieved by a baker at Heckington in Lincolnshire, when the time of 20min 59secs broke the previous record held by a baker in Montana by 23 seconds.

Marshall Tractors

A 1939 Marshall Model M.

A Marshall Model M tractor which cost £643 when it was made at Gainsborough, in Lincolnshire, in 1939 was sold at a recent Cheffins Cambridge vintage machinery sale for the record price of £26,000. The first Marshall single cylinder diesel tractors were made at Gainsborough in 1930. Weighing in excess of 3t, the Marshall 15/30 had a 30hp, 550rpm horizontal 2-stroke engine with an 8in bore and 10.5in stroke. The improved Marshall 18/30 appeared in 1932 and Ben Burgess, Norwich was one of the first dealers to sell the tractor. The 20hp Marshall 12/20 with an optional diff-lock was added in 1935 and, together with the 15/30, both tractors were made until the Model M appeared in 1938. It

had a 20hp single cylinder engine, which ran at 700rpm. Other features included a 9-gallon fuel tank, an off-set PTO and the option of steel wheels or rubber tyres. The Series 1 Field Marshall replaced the Model M when full tractor production resumed at Gainsborough in 1945. The Brunswick green tractor with silver wheels, and still with a 2-stroke 750rpm horizontal engine, was rated at 40hp. The Series 2 was made from 1947 until the launch of the Series 3 in 1949. The Series 3A, the last of the Field Marshalls, was made from 1952–1956. The 40hp tractor had 6 forward and 2 reverse gears but electric starting and lights, a winch and a bolt-on hydraulic linkage were still optional extras. ■

New seed treatment account manager Certis is welcoming Tim Eaton to its ranks as the new key account manager for seed

Additional role for machinery man The Burdens Group is announcing that David Smith has been promoted to depot manager at its Wrangle site, near Boston in Lincolnshire. David will combine this new role with his current position of area sales manager, and looks forward to the challenges of developing and growing the

business at the site. His knowledge of farm machinery and equipment, and his understanding of the challenges faced by farmers in the area, make him the ideal person to take on this task. The Burdens Group sales director Shaun Taylor says how pleased he is to have watched David develop over the past four years from a trainee sales person.

Movers and shakers Do you know of someone who is on the move in the agricultural industry? Whether they are starting a completely new role, a promotion within a business or perhaps a retirement after many years of dedicated service, let us know and we will do our best to include it on our popular ‘About People’ pages. Send in no more than 150 words and a (head and shoulders) picture of the person in question to (email) dominic@farmersguide.co.uk.

Key sales appointment Mike Bendall has joined Vicon as key account manager covering the East and South-East of England. He takes a wealth of experience to the brand, having spent the past 37 years working for a major agricultural machinery manufacturer, initially in the sales office and for the past 26 years as a territory manager. During this time, he’s provided hands-on backup and support

for dealers and customers and carried out countless machinery demonstrations and sales. With a farming background, Mike is enthusiastic about his new role. He says: “It’s great to be working with such a forwardthinking and technologyfocussed company. “A lot of the Vicon products are the types of machines that are familiar to me, though I’m also looking forward to learning much more about sprayers, crop care and precision farming systems.”

After Sales & Service Manager

Due to the continued expansion of our after sales department at our Newmarket branch, we are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual in the role of After Sales & Service Manager. The ideal candidate will be a true customer-focused leader and will have the ability to motivate and manage a team to deliver the highest level of customer service. Taking full responsibility of the department and exceeding both our Company's and customers’ expectations are essential. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate and have experience in: - Understanding and fulfilling the needs of our customers to provide an excellent level of customer service. - Building excellent working relationships both internally and externally. - Motivating and developing a team within a busy working environment. - Having a high level of IT skills and being able to adapt to bespoke systems and technology. - Monitoring and driving KPI's set by the Company and implementing objectives for the department. - Excellent interpersonal skills and a confident communicator. - The ability to organise, prioritise and manage conflicting pressures and deadlines. - Technical knowledge of agricultural and construction machinery would be beneficial but is not essential. In return, we offer a competitive package that reflects the importance of the role, to include a relocation allowance if required, plus full ongoing training, long term career prospects and an enhanced company pension scheme.

commercial and technical role. “I will continue to work closely with the extensive network I’ve established with seed processors, merchants and growers. “I look forward to developing Certis’ seed treatment portfolio by bringing more products to the market, some of which are already in the pipeline.” Tim has already been involved in planning new trials to begin this autumn. These include Latitude trials and next harvest the company will be sharing the latest data with its customers.
