Out & About by managing editor, Jane Potts
The team
The FG team, pictured at our Christmas lunch in December last year.
Julie’s son) joined Farmers Guide in 2016 and my daughter Donna joined last year. Both have a sales role and help ensure the continuity of the business.
Lamma event We started our 40th anniversary year by exhibiting at Lamma’s new venue, the NEC. We had a marvellous position near an entrance and were kept busy talking to reader and advertiser visitors to our stand. We gave out over 800 magazines and signed up many new readers with those numbers still growing as forms within the distributed magazines are returned. There is a full schedule of shows we are planning to attend this year so look out for us at an event near you.
Why it’s free
I’m very proud of our team. I think we have the best in the business and all contribute to the success and growth of the magazine, from the customer and reader facing sales, editorial and database teams to the more behind the scenes design and admin teams. To stay up to date with digital and social media progression, our newest member is a digital media manager. Some very long serving members of the team include studio manager Simon Kotz who has been with us for 23 years, sales executive Jana Moyes who celebrates 19 years service in March and Sue Casburn who has been with us for 17 years. Gregory (my sister and fellow director 63113
Many readers have asked how we can give the magazine away free of charge. The answer goes right back to Dad’s (founder Doug Potts) original business model. The advertising pays for the magazine to be sent to our readers who are also customers or potential customers of the advertisers. That original model still stands and will continue to do so but response to advertisers is critical and so the magazine has to be interesting, informative and relevant so that you, dear reader, pick up the magazine, read it, and respond to the advertisements. In the early days, monitoring response was relatively easy. I remember one classified advertiser telling me that he had a dedicated telephone line for Farmers Guide adverts and he knew when the magazine had been received on farm because that phone would start to
ring. That was a dealer manager who could very accurately monitor response. That dealer manager now works for a major manufacturer and both still advertise. Today, many more advertisers are manufacturers and suppliers who would not recognise response as easily or immediately as a dealer or merchant whose line to the customer is shorter, so we have to work very hard to make advertisers aware of our coverage and readership. This is where the information you kindly give us helps enormously – we only use the information to produce individually untraceable statistics and no personal information is ever shared with a third party; we follow strict GDPR guidelines. The fact that we know who every reader is, that you genuinely want to receive the magazine and trust us with some of your farming information gives us invaluable marketing information to put in front of advertisers. We are the only national publication with a growing circulation and continue to invest in the future of the magazine.
And finally… An old Norfolk farmer phoned Farmers Guide and asked: “How much to advertise in your Classified section?” “£1 an inch, Sir,” he was told by the salesperson. “Cor blast,” he said, “I can’t afford that!” “Can I ask what it is you are advertising Sir?” questioned the salesperson. “You can indeed,” he replied. “It’s a 40ft ladder!” Thanks to Sam Stennett (FG’s accounts assistant) for this month’s joke. Do you have a joke to share? A Farmers Guide boot bag will be sent to anyone who gets one published in the magazine. Please send it to: dominic@ farmersguide.co.uk. ■

Gossip
by Graham Henderson
Grain Gossip UK spot feed wheat prices have firmed since last month by £3/t to £167/t ex-farm in East Anglia, and feed barley has dropped away to £152/t for the same movement month. Milling wheat is at a premium of around £8/t for full spec samples. Confusion created by the UK/EU disputes on Brexit continues to have an effect on prices across Europe and beyond. Russia was slowing down on wheat exports, probably because of lower production and therefore availability. However it recently took an Egyptian order which normally goes to the USA. China has expanded its buying sources of wheat no doubt in relationship to the trading battle with the USA and less availability from Australia. One country to benefit from this is Canada. It has increased sales to China by around 0.5mt over the past season. Overall it seems that confusion reins across 6

world trading due to political activity and lower production from the 2018 harvest. It is difficult to find a home for old crop malting barley at the moment but there is probably little left unsold. With the problems surrounding Brexit it is difficult to fix forward market prices and this is exacerbated by the likelihood of a 25 per cent increase in French spring barley drillings.
Fertiliser Fragments Urea remains competitive against ammonium nitrate (AN) and the price is being assisted by further demands from India. Competition from imports in the AN market has forced CF to reduce Nitram down to imported AN prices – a reduction of £10–£15 to the mid £280s – as CF is determined to dominate the market and keep imports out. The company continues to be a very aggressive seller. NS products have followed this trend. As always, at this time of the year, buyers are reluctant to commit but those that are wise will take advantage of this price battle. Time will soon be upon us for first applications on OSR and wheat. As I stated last month, a rush on purchases late on could well cause transport problems.
Rugby Ramblings The lack of success of English clubs in the European (Heineken) Cup is clear, with only Saracens qualifying for the last eight. Three Irish teams, two Scottish teams and two French teams making up the balance. It is now consecutive years that only one English team has reached the last eight and this must have been a great disappointment for Eddie Jones with the Six Nations soon to be contested. In fact, by the time you read this the first, and one of the eagerly awaited clashes – England versus Ireland – will have been played. The only major aspect that Jones has to lean on is that he appears to have a large number of players to choose from. It is particularly important

At last we have seen some traditional winter weather with sharp frosts across the country and snowfall in northern areas. One of the benefits is to quietly kill off bugs both over and underground. Crops are generally in good order and I think growers are reasonably happy with current growth of winter-drilled grain. Frosts should also put the soil in good heart for spring crop drillings. As the Government wrangles on with “B”, the NFU predicts a bleaker future day by day. Some of its six principles include avoiding a “no deal”; maintaining a seasonal workforce; ensuring as much free trade with European countries as possible and implementing an agricultural policy that continues to support food production. The independent grain trader Gleadell Agriculture is to be bought out by Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM). The company was 50 per cent owned by ADM and 50 per cent by a French co-operative, and ADM has bought the co-operative’s shares. The purchase includes the seed company Dunns, currently wholly owned by Gleadell. The new company will be merged with Arkady, already owned by ADM, to create ADM Agriculture as a new trading organisation. There will no doubt be an interesting battle to see who gets which roles. Rarely do I talk about farm livestock in this column but I believe that we can all remember the effect of swine fever across the country, and a current African strain is moving across Europe at a very fast rate. Prevalent now in Eastern Europe it has recently taken hold in Belgium. This is now getting too close for comfort and pig producers are warned of the specific danger of using catering or domestic food waste of any sort. It can be transmitted through both domestic and wild boar herds.

that four important individuals who have been off with injuries – the Vunipola brothers, Joe Launchbury and Manu Tuilagi are now all back fit. There is one worry about the fitness of Owen Farrell, currently out of action, and I hope that it is not a major problem. With all these players to choose from it will be interesting to see what type of game Jones decides to play against the Irish who are England’s major rivals this season. Will it be quick ball and out to the wings or a game dominated by forwards? Whatever system he decides to play will be evident from the team selection.

Decline in triazole performance continues The two-day AHDB Agronomists’ conference got under way in Northants late last year. Dominic Kilburn reports on cereal and oilseed rape fungicide performance trials results presented at the event. Indications that the sensitivity of septoria isolates to triazole chemistry had stabilised appear now to be in doubt, according to new data released at the recently held AHDB Agronomists’ conference. Everyone will be familiar with the decline in triazole performance against septoria between 2009 and 2015, pointed out NIAB’s deputy director Stuart Knight (right), however this appeared to have slowed down between 2015–2017. “We know that the level of protectant control of septoria offered by a full dose of epoxiconazole or prothioconazole has decreased over time, typically 40–50 per cent in recent years compared with 80-90 per cent in the early 2000s, but 2018 data shows another dip in performance to around 30 per cent control. “It’s only one year, so we are not sure if it’s a blip or not, but we eagerly await the next set of data. We cannot

be complacent – perhaps we are still losing triazole performance over time,” he warned. When comparing SDHI fungicide performance over-years (2013–2018) when controlling septoria, Mr Knight said that following the first indications of a fall in protection in 2017, 2018 SDHI data is also showing a clear reduction in efficacy since 2013. “It should be noted though that these trials were assessing the performance of straight SDHIs (Imtrex and Vertisan) as single sprays in very testing conditions and this is not how they should be used in the field. They are much more robust in mixtures with azoles rather than as straights,” stressed Mr Knight. “This recent decline doesn’t mean that SDHIs are no longer of value, but it does mean we need to learn how to preserve their activity as best we can,” he stated.
Mr Knight also presented data comparing a range of fungicide products (mixtures and straights) against key diseases in wheat, barley and oilseed rape. Starting with septoria in wheat, 2018 trials data suggested that better protection had been achieved from the SDHIs Vertisan (penthiopyrad) and Imtrex (fluxapyroxad) than the azoles Proline (prothioconazole) and Bassoon (epoxiconazole). Proline however had achieved better control than Bassoon, and Imtrex better than Vertisan. Also compared with the straights was chlorothalonil, which gave
similar protection to the straight SDHIs but provided increased control compared with the triazoles, highlighting the importance of its inclusion in fungicide programmes for wheat. Mixture products in septoria protection trials included Elatus Era (solatenol + prothioconazole), Ascra Xpro (bixafen + fluopyram + prothioconazole) and Librax (fluxapyroxad + metconazole), and all performed similarly and much better than the azoles or straight SDHIs alone. “It emphasises again the much improved protection of the mixtures continued over...

over the straights,” said Mr Knight. Looking at over-year protection data (2016–2018), azoles and straight SDHIs performed similarly as they did in the single (2018) year data. Mixture products couldn’t be separated in terms of performance and, again, out-performed the individual compounds, he noted.
Curative Turning to curative performance against septoria, the over-year (2016–2018) rank order for the straight azoles and SDHIs was the same as in the protectant data, however the performance gap between the azoles was narrower, with Proline showing only a slight advantage over Bassoon. Chlorothalonil wasn’t included in the analysis as it has no curative activity on septoria, added Mr Knight. In terms of the mixtures over the same time period, they performed similarly well, with Librax pulling away slightly from the other two (Ascra Xpro and Elatus Era) largely due to very good control from Librax in 2017. However, as in the protectant scenario, the mixtures performed better in a curative
situation against septoria than the individual azoles and SDHIs.
Yield Comparing over-year (2016–2018) yield performance in the presence of septoria, Mr Knight said that a similar separation in ranking occurred between the straight SDHIs and azoles as seen in the protectant and curative disease control. In addition, Bravo (chlorothalonil)-treated crops yielded similarly to those treated with the SDHI straights. “The mixtures were again all relatively close in performance, with maybe some slight advantage to Ascra Xpro, however it’s very clear that mixture products are vastly outperforming the straights in terms of delivering yield,” commented Mr Knight.
Yellow rust Although he cautioned that the 2018 yellow rust control data was from only one trial, Mr Knight said that Bassoon performed very well as expected and Proline was close behind. In this trial, strobilurin Comet (pyraclostrobin) was included and it also performed well. “Straight SDHI Imtrex gave a

useful reduction of yellow rust but, as we have said before, yellow rust is not the main strength of SDHIs. They do contribute but not to the extent of strobilurins and azoles,” said Mr Knight. All mixture products including Elatus Era, Ascra Xpro, Librax and Priaxor (fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin) performed well and were similar to the azoles on their own. “Aside from Priaxor, the mixtures mostly contain rust-active azoles and so the SDHI elements of
the mixes are not adding that much to the azole performance in terms of disease control,” he said. For the over-year (2016–2018) yellow rust comparison it was a similar picture for the straight products, while the mixtures also included Keystone (epoxiconazole + isopyrazam). Again, it was hard to differentiate between products in their performance, added Mr Knight. In terms of yield in the presence of yellow rust, as expected, Imtrex continued over...

gave the least response of the straights and Bassoon the greatest – reflecting the disease control data. “There was more of a yield benefit to the mixtures compared with the straights; with Elatus Era giving a slightly greater yield response to the other mixtures tested. So although the SDHIs don’t seem to add much to the azoles in terms of yellow rust control, they are adding to yield.” Briefly looking at brown rust control (2018), of the products tested Elatus Era and Librax were both very effective and their performances couldn’t be pulled apart, he pointed out. Both were better than their component azoles on their own (prothioconazole and metconazole respectively) highlighting that, in a brown rust situation, SDHIs are adding significantly to the control.
Fusarium In the 2018 wheat fusarium trial, prothioconazole, tebuconazole and Unizeb Gold (mancozeb) were included, as well as new product Soleil (bromuconazole + tebuconazole). Soleil, Folicur (tebuconazole) and Proline all did a similar job in terms
of reducing the proportion of heads visually affected with head blight. Unizeb Gold also gave a reduction in symptoms and, although not quite at the level of the azoles, it was a good contribution in terms of control, suggested Mr Knight. “In addition to visual field testing, Harper Adams University carried out testing of DON and DNA levels to find out what was going on behind the head blight symptoms, and, although DON levels were low, the work revealed some interesting DNA results,” he explained. “Again, we must apply caution as it was only one season but it’s helpful in understanding what we are seeing with the visual symptoms. The azoles gave a clear reduction in DNA for true fusarium species compared with untreated, although Unizeb Gold gave no reduction. “However, for microdochium DNA it was a different picture. There was some activity from the azoles, albeit not consistently better than the untreateds, but Unizeb Gold gave a clear reduction. “So visual symptoms hide the fact that some products are more effective on fusarium and some more so on microdochium, and

Imtrex and Proline performed well against rhynchosporium (right) in barley disease trials, while Comet made a useful contribution. The performance (left) of Priaxor (fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin) highlighted the importance of being able to use products other than azoles and still get good control, said Mr Knight.
that might influence how effective those products might be in reducing DONs had we had a wetter season.”
Barley Switching to fungicide performance in barley, Mr Knight pointed out that, in 2018, straight products Imtrex and Proline performed well against rhynchosporium, while Comet made a useful contribution. The mixture products, including Siltra Xpro (bixafen + prothioconazole) and Elatus Era couldn’t be separated and performed similarly to the straight SDHI and azole. Vertisan (penthiopyrad) was included in the straight product line up for the over-year (2016-2018) comparisons but didn’t perform as well as Imtrex, highlighting a difference between straight SDHI performances in relation to rhynchosporium. Strob/SDHI product Priaxor was an addition to the mixture products for the over-year data and provided similar levels of rhynchosporium control to the SDHI/azole mixtures. “It’s important to be able to use products other than azoles and still get good control,” added Mr Knight.
Net blotch and mildew In a single 2018 net blotch trial, Proline kept disease levels to a minimum (5 per cent disease present at full label dose), outperforming straights Imtrex and Comet. “The latter two did a good job, but 2018 reflects some of what we have recently seen with SDHIs and strobs performing just below the level of azoles,” he said. “Kayak was also included in the straights to monitor what its active cyprodinil was contributing. It’s not a new product but it still gives a useful reduction although not quite
to the level of the other products.” The mixtures (Siltra Xpro and Elatus Era) performed similarly to Proline. In the over-year analysis (2016–2018), Proline was strong again in terms of net blotch control while the mixtures (including Priaxor) demonstrated robust activity and more of an advantage over Proline compared with the 2018 trial. Mr Knight said that it was also encouraging to see that Proline was still giving very good protection against mildew after many years of its use in barley. “Similarly Cyflamid (cyflufenamid) and Talius (proquinazid) are continuing to do a good job on mildew, so there are good options here. “With prothioconazole in mixture product Elatus Era, which was also tested, we expected it to give good control of mildew and indeed it did, very much matching the straights,” he added.
OSR data Mr Knight concluded his presentation with a brief look at 2018 results from two phoma stem canker control trials; one with a moderate canker index (Herefordshire) and the other with a high canker index (Norfolk). At the moderate site, Proline and Plover (difenoconazole) performed similarly at 40 per cent reduction in stem canker at full label rate, however Filan (boscalid) was more effective than the azoles with a 60 per cent reduction. At the high index site it was a similar picture with perhaps a bit more separation between the azoles in favour of Proline, but the key thing to note again was Filan’s effectiveness in its level of disease reduction, concluded Mr Knight. ■

The changing dynamics of blight
Centerliner SXe/SXi
As many as 35 per cent of late blight samples from 2018 were recently-discovered strains 37_A2 (Dark Green) and 36_A2, revealed James Hutton Institute research leader David Cooke, speaking at the Agronomists’ Conference. Heather Briggs writes.

Genotype 36_A2 appeared in a cluster in Kent, and outbreaks of 37_ A2 were discovered in Shropshire, Cheshire, Lancashire and Kent, plus a single finding in Norfolk but it was not found in south west England, Wales or Scotland. However, aggressive blight genotype 6_A1 remained predominant, found in 46 per cent of reported blight outbreaks. The number of outbreaks caused by 13_A2 continued to decline across Britain, and now comprises just 6 per cent of late blight samples, the lowest level since it first appeared in 2005, he said. Blight pressure had been much lower than the previous year, with just 40 outbreaks reported compared with 158 in 2017, and Dr Cooke (right) warned that this will have skewed the sampling. “The start of the year was very cold, followed by a wet period in March and April which generated primary inoculum, but the hot, dry conditions between May and July resulted in very few outbreaks,” said Dr Cooke. Localised rainfall in August and September led to disease activity picking up quickly in some areas, he added.
Aggressiveness Blight strain 36_A2 remains a concern because of its
aggressiveness, and Dr Cooke has been sending isolates to INRA, France, for aggressiveness testing. “Comparing isolates of 36_A2 with other lineages showed 36_A2 formed the largest mean lesions next to 6_A1, and produced abundant sporangia,” he said. “Industry is concerned that changes in fungicide sensitivity are driving increasing incidence of fit and aggressive blight genotypes 36_A2 and 37_A2 across Europe. “Increased insensitivity to the fungicide fluazinam has been demonstrated in 37_A2 leading many growers to adjust their fungicide strategies.” Commissioned by the AHDB, research conducted by James Hutton Institute potato pathologist Alison Lees is monitoring the efficacy of fluazinam, cyazofamid, mandipropamid, propamocarb and fluopicolide across the blight strains dominating the populations in GB crops. “None of the actives in the experiment were chosen because of any issues, but we cannot test all the available actives, and these were the logical ones to test,” he explained. Further evidence of insensitivity to fluazinam in genotype 37_A2 was discovered, with lesions still forming in the assays at the field rate of 1,000ppm.

appearing one year later in the German/Dutch starch-growing area. During the next two years their area of population expanded a little, and then accelerated in 2016 and 2017 at the expense of 1_A1, 6_A1 and 13_A2. 2016 was the year 37_A2 was first found in the UK followed by 36_A2 in 2017. “At Euroblight, we have been assessing control options and their efficacy on a pan-European scale. “Best practice methods to help control late blight include removal of primary inoculum, crop rotation, resistant varieties and effective spray application.” He encourages growers to opt for resistant varieties, but uptake is slow.
A handsome blend ...
Timing and application
So far the team has found no evidence of resistance in 36_A2 to any of the five actives. However, slightly larger lesions were caused by 36_A2 compared to other genotypes at the lowest doses of all actives. “This shows a generic effect which may explain its dominance in field epidemics. The mechanisms are unknown but we assume it is something related to aggressiveness. “It remains important to monitor the emergence of 36_A2 and other genotypes in context of their aggressiveness and combine our findings with those of other researchers.”
Pathogen similarities As a member of Euroblight, Dr Cooke works closely with Wageningen University and Research plant pathologist Geert Kessel (right), who also spoke at the conference. Dr Kessel said that 10 years of genotyping the pathogen in the Netherlands have shown similarities to the UK populations, with clonal strains such as 13_A2 (Blue 13) being prominents. However, less prevalent genotypes and a large number of genetically unique individual strains created by sexual reproduction are also present in the Netherlands, particularly in potato starch-growing areas, he explained. Strain 37_A2 was first found in the country in 2013 with EU_36
“Correct timing of the application and fungicide choice play a crucial role in efficacy. “We aim to spray shortly before a predicted infection event, and all the registered late blight fungicides can prevent infection when sprayed before the spores land in the crop. “However, if you spray after the infection event, the phytophthora will already be inside the plant so you will need a curative active ingredient.” Decision support tools can help manage the late blight situation, with the more sophisticated ones taking into account fungicide degradation and unprotected new growth. In addition, they may issue specific warnings for tuber infection or oospore infections. Dr Kessel has also been identifying potential benefits and problems linked to the introduction of an increasing number of resistant varieties. “Trials have shown that by using integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, the number of sprays on susceptible Desiree could only be marginally reduced. “However, just three sprays controls infection in the resistant variety Sarpo Mira.” Nevertheless, he warned, zero tolerance to blight is especially important in resistant varieties. “A small infection in a resistant variety is the first sign of the pathogen breaking down resistance.” ■

Vigorous broad-leaved weeds must be controlled early Arable farms where there has been little spring cropping are where the broad-leaved weed bur chervil is making its presence felt, and has become a serious problem in areas of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and the Midlands. But more winter wheat being drilled due to favourable prices and less spring cereal seed being available, could exacerbate the situation for next year and beyond. AICC agronomist Steve Cook (left) of Hampshire Arable Systems says these vigorous broad-leaved weeds must be controlled early in the spring when small and actively growing with a high loading of SU such as Harmony M SX (40g/kg metsulfuron-methyl and 400g/kg thifensulfuron-methyl) and Ally Max SX (143g/kg metsulfuronmethyl and 143g/kg tribenuronmethyl). Both approaches have been successful in the past but the highly aggressive and competitive nature of bur chervil means that he has had to improve the efficacy. Before its revocation, flupyrsulfuron was a useful option for suppressing bur chervil, but this now has to be left to Spitfire (fluroxypyr + florasulam) applied in the autumn. Spring applied herbicides now present the best chances of control, according to Mr Cook. “A more prescriptively tailored herbicide programme is essential to get on top of this highly competitive weed and its cousin, the slightly less ubiquitous, but equally yield-robbing and invasive wild carrot,” says Mr Cook. Bur chervil is very prolific with large numbers of seeds being returned to the soil profile. It normally appears in patches having started as a hedgerow weed. Harvesting the headlands and spreading straw and chaff has exacerbated the situation, although the lack of available chemistry in oilseed rape has also been a contributory factor towards both weeds gaining prevalence.
Lighter land It is more common on lighter land but the impact is now being felt on heavier soils too. Mr Cook says that sewage heaps appear to promote bur chervil so it might be that it likes very fertile soils and where the wheat does
not invariably grow the weed takes advantage. “Bur chervil leaves look similar to parsley, but if you pull it up and crush the root it smells a bit like carrot,” says Mr Cook. “It will smother a crop when dense and at harvest it is green so can hinder the combine.” In the past, autumn herbicides such as IPU and CTL were effective at controlling grass weeds and some autumn germinating broad-leaved weeds. “They were excellent at taking out most of the indigenous weeds, but losing these chemicals is giving rise to selection pressure,” explains Mr
Cook. “There isn’t any resistance yet to the SUs so it’s critical to maximise cultural control options to reduce the dependence on the limited specific herbicides that we have left in the armory. “In oilseed rape we have Belkar (Arylex + picloram) and Astrokerb (propyzamide + aminopyralid) which do knock bur chervil, but there’s nothing to really take it out,” he says. “It’s normally a localised problem with very dense patches appearing. In cereals the strategy must be to control it early. There is no follow up option after the spring and so even if spraying is delayed it would still pay in my
opinion to go with Harmony M. “If bur chervil can’t be dealt with by GS31 then you’re looking at partial or even minimal control, which translates into yield loss, lower margins and ultimately more weed seed being returned to the bank,” says Mr Cook. In Autumn 2018 he had not seen as much bur chervil as expected and this might have been due to better control last year and more time for stale seedbeds following an early harvest. “Growers are more aware of the problem now than a few years ago so have become better at controlling it,” he says. ■

Beet establishment with no neonics For the first time in a generation, sugar beet growers will have to establish their crops without neonicotinoid seed treatments this season. Dominic Kilburn seeks advice. The EU’s decision to extend the ban of neonicotinoid seed treatments to all outdoor crops, and not just for flowering types, will have an impact for the first time over the next few weeks as drilling of the 2019 sugar beet crop gets underway. According to Northants based Indigro and AICC agronomist Damian McAuley (right), virus yellows has not been an issue for his growers on the basis of neonicotinoid chemistry being ever present as the standard seed treatment to protect crops from the virus, but the ban now leaves growers with precious few options for control. “Yes, sugar beet farmers coped without those seed treatments in the past, but I would find it hard to tell my growers that if they do nothing about it, their yields could potentially fall this coming season by one third,” he says. “I’ve seen the data, and the impact of virus yellows on sugar
beet can result in a yield loss of between 30–40 per cent, and that’s a real concern,” he adds. With an emergency authorisation application for the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments (thiamethoxam and clothiadinin) for 2019 refused, chemical options for growers to control virus carrying aphids this season are limited to foliar applied Teppeki (flonicamid). According to Mr McAuley, Teppeki should be applied only when thresholds have been met (one green wingless aphid per four plants) and up to the 12leaf stage, after which time plants develop resistance to virus yellows. “Use of Teppeki is limited to one application per crop, and so, with 21 days’ persistence, timing is everything as we need to get the crop to late May/early June when it can look after itself.” Growers must engage with the BBRO for advice, and any other
forecasting system that predicts when aphids are moving into crops, to help with application timing and make the most of the chemical’s persistence, he stressed. Mr McAuley rules out the use of pyrethroids for aphid control; a high percentage of the main aphid threat, myzus persicae, has complete resistance to pyrethroid and carbetamide insecticides, while their risk to beneficial insects is too great. “With every product revocation we get it means that, like much of the agronomy today, cultural control is key,” he says. “It’s about old fashioned farming – a bespoke approach to each field and crop, and attention to detail.”
Green bridge Lincolnshirebased ProCam agronomist Andrew Mellors (right) agrees that while virus yellows hasn’t been an issue in the relatively recent past, attention to detail going forward will be key in helping to maintain control. “Where they can, growers need to avoid creating additional green bridges for aphids; beet clamps, dumps and cleanings will all need to be managed to prevent them greening up,” he advises.
He says that it’s critical to get the crop to the 12-leaf stage as soon as possible and that starts with drilling into a “warming” seedbed that is moist, fine and firm. Trace elements and biostimulants should also be considered from the 4-leaf stage onwards to help reduce stress and the time it takes to get plants to the 12-leaf stage, he adds. “Importantly, once you get to the threshold for applying Teppeki, then go for it. The product hasn’t got quick knock-down, so if you delay applying it once you get to the threshold, then you risk the virus spreading through the crop. Apply it too early however, and its protection will run out of steam after 21 days, and before the plants are mature enough to resist the virus,” he says. “Weed control is also a factor,” concludes Mr Mellors. “Herbicides are of course vital in reducing crop competition but growers need to find the right balance between sufficient weed control but without knocking back the crop and checking its growth during establishment.” ■

Spring black-grass control – it’s the details that count While many are having success so far this year in the battle with black-grass, completing herbicide programmes and removing survivors is the key to winning the war. A dry autumn had some farmers and agronomists worrying about pre-emergence performance, but a combination of delayed drilling and late autumn rain brought black-grass flushes just in time for residual herbicides. “We’ve seen good control this year so far,� observes independent agronomist Sam Clarke (right). Working across Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, Mr Clarke advises on land with a wide variety of soil types with varying black-grass pressure. “On the whole, growers had prepared by prioritising the worst black-grass for later drilling and established stale seedbeds.� That was the case for
Leicestershire farmer, Chris Tolley (right). “I wouldn’t say we’re on top of the blackgrass but we’re trying. We use a mixture of cultural controls, pre-emergence herbicides but also post-emergence and spring cropping where necessary,� he says. “We always aim for autumn postemergence herbicide applications but where we have to go in spring, we wait for a warm spell, when weeds are actively growing, and we can travel without causing damage. We try to do that as soon as possible before the black-grass gets too big – once it has several tillers, control will certainly be compromised.� Mr Clarke agrees. “Active growth 59656

is related to soil temperature,� he explains. “The bottom of hedgerows starting to green up is a good indicator, but I also keep an eye on diurnal temperatures. If it’s 10oC during the day and 6oC at night, then it won’t be long before soil temperatures rise to 6oC – the temperature when blackgrass will start moving. It’s harder to judge when there’s frost at night but it’s warm during the day. That’s when I use a digital thermometer at the rooting zone. I’ll pop it in the soil about 4–6in deep, walk the fields and come back to take a reading.�
ALS chemistry Where black-grass is susceptible to ALS chemistry, Mr Clarke mainly advises autumnal use of Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron), provided conditions are good. This year he’s only seen a handful of fields requiring spring applications, predominantly on heavier laterdrilled land where the black-grass didn’t emerge in time for an autumn post-emergence. On these sites he is likely to use Monolith (mesosulfuron + propoxycarbazone). “Monolith is another weapon in the arsenal for spring contact chemistry, which is just what is needed on some farms,� he says. “But we have to use these new products responsibly – and the first step is resistance testing, which Bayer has provided help with. Where there are weeds that are open to this type of chemistry, it’s definitely a good one to use.� While Mr Clarke has only a handful of fields needing postemergence treatments, he will be paying close attention to optimising efficacy with application technique. He encourages growers to follow the advice “time over target�, keeping forward speeds down to 10kph and using 120–150-litres/ha of water. He does not think there is any benefit in using 200-litres/ha or more because the focus should be on droplet size and spray quality rather than applying a high quantity of water. Mr Tolley agrees. “Getting the spray quality right is important. Where possible we use a fine spray
Mr Tolley says that if weed control is required in the spring, then it is done as soon as possible before black-grass gets too big.
to get good coverage and hit the target. Travelling slowly and keeping the boom height at 50cm above target helps too. We always use a water conditioner because we have hard water here. Together with the appropriate adjuvant, Biopower, they help maintain efficacy.�
Be patient The other piece of advice from Mr Tolley is to be patient and wait for a dry leaf. Starting too early in the morning or finishing too late is a false economy as the herbicide won’t dry properly on the leaf. Although it shortens the spray day down to four or five hours you can be more confident that the herbicide is taking effect. The post-emergence treatment doesn’t finish with making the spray – it is essential to check and eliminate any survivors to prevent resistance building in the population. May is typically the month for assessing overall weed control and making any final decisions to rogue and spray off. “At that point, we’d be considering removing those with glyphosate. Anywhere that contains a few plants that got away, we will hand rogue,� says Mr Tolley. A sound decision, according to Mr Clarke. “While it seems madness to get that far and then potentially spray off a crop, it’s worth it. A black-grass population can get out of hand quickly as its seed return is huge; 100 viable seeds/tiller and you can easily get 20 tillers per plant. The future herbicide costs will far outweigh the lost margins this year.�

Arable Views...
Know your local markets while keeping an eye on global trading opportunities 2019 will be a notable year writes Openfield head of compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce, in the first of this year’s Arable Views. 2019 is likely to be a notable year for a number of reasons. The daily news about Brexit will keep us all second-guessing as to the direction that UK agriculture may take. We will all hopefully have a chance to influence the future, but from a grain marketing viewpoint, all we can currently do is to keep on our toes and get ready to absorb what comes our way. This isn’t a denial about Brexit’s potential issues but more of an acknowledgment that where we can shape changes, the UK has shipped to, and imported from, global countries whenever the need has arisen, and price has allowed. Back in the 1990s the European Union used to reimburse shippers, when shipping to non-EU destinations, to reflect the very high domestic EU prices. Times then changed, and shippers were then taxed and then finally, a few years ago, export licences were removed completely. Every country globally has trade challenges that they have to trade around, but price, government controls and buyers’ requirements change constantly. The trading of commodities is necessary to reflect supply and demand globally and the more transparent it is, the easier it is to understand, but if trading is made complicated by the powers that be then they need to be able to police it and realise the direct price implications of doing so at the farm gate.
Security provided The impact of politics will always disrupt markets but that’s where contract terms and conditions provide security in an insecure market. It remains everyone’s responsibility to know their risks
and the price impact they may have, whether trading ex-farm grain, futures or ships. Integrity and timeliness of data also falls in this ‘need to know knowledge’ bucket. The recent issues with lack of USDA data will remind many about how exposed they have become by relying on one data source. The issues with the quality of data published by any source, also need to be fully understood especially when it’s directly affecting your local trading markets. Too much information in too few hands is just as dangerous to markets as is data full of ‘oversights’ or consumers not really understanding the inherent issues that may also be hidden to the unwary eye. To put this in context a 0.1t/ ha difference in US maize yields results in a 3.3mt change in the crop figures. Any uncertainty or margin of error can have a reasonable impact especially on sensitive markets. For many years I have been pressing on farmers to know and understand their local markets and to be the best farmer they can be with what they have, and I believe this has to remain front and centre in the coming years. Much is likely to change but, fundamentally, the UK demand for domestic cereals changes annually and this is why growers and traders alike need to focus on data, while at the same time keeping a close eye on the rest of the world and the rules of engagement that may be imposed when it comes to trading with other countries.

Farm fertiliser trial demonstrates significant boost in margins Everything done at MW Farming is on a sound financial basis and that’s particularly the case with fertiliser as it’s such a large part of the business’ overall investment.
Using a true granular sulphur compound followed by straight ammonium nitrate (AN) produced an extra 1.44t/ha of winter barley compared with existing fertiliser practice in 2018 farm trials at MW Farming, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Worth an extra £193/ha in margin over fertiliser costs (MOFC), the results have confirmed the business’ decision to move away from urea across its entire 648ha of arable production and set a benchmark that liquid fertilisers could not rival, says the business owner Matthew Williams. “Our aim is to get the most return from every acre we farm and to do this you have to know your figures. “I have to be able to see that everything we do has a sound financial basis and that’s particularly the case with fertiliser as it’s such a large part of our overall investment.” When you realise Matthew started the business from a standing start just two years ago without any of his own

land and putting his own house on the line as security, his views are easy to understand. So far things seem to be going well, however, with wheat yields averaging around 9.5–10.0t/ha and oilseed rape at 4.5–5.0t/ha despite the challenging conditions of last year. About 320ha of the land is down to wheat, with around 200ha of oilseed rape and up to 120ha of
winter barley – a typical rotation being two wheats followed by barley and then oilseed rape. Much of the land Matthew farms was taken on when his previous employer retired. CF DoubleTop (27N + 30SO3) was always used as a first dressing to address sulphur requirements but this was then followed by urea as the main N source. “With fertilisers being such a critical part of the business, it’s important to ensure we are using them as effectively as possible and while urea was seen as a low cost option, I wasn’t convinced it was performing sufficiently in terms of return on investment.” Working with CF Fertilisers’ Ross Leadbeater, it was decided to set up a trial to look at how nutrition efficiency could be improved. According to Mr Leadbeater the starting point was to gain insight into what N was already held in the soil before any application decisions could be made. “A lot of organic manure in the form of sewage sludge has been used in the past and some of the land has been turned into arable use from livestock previously, so N reserves are likely to be pretty healthy but variable,” he explains. “The only way you can get an accurate picture of soil N is to carry out a CF N-Min test which measures soil mineral nitrogen (SMN) but also includes additionally available nitrogen (AAN).
“AAN is the nitrogen that will be mineralised in the soil and become available to the plant as the growing season develops and this can be used to give a better picture of total soil nitrogen supply (SNS) which in turn provides a better foundation for calculating bagged nitrogen requirements. “Without knowing this you can end up applying too much N which, as well as being a waste of money, the crop is unlikely to be able to utilise it leading to potential environmental problems.” While the CF N-Min system was already being used for both the wheat and oilseed rape crops being grown by Matthew, it was agreed to focus the trial on a crop of winter barley, Mr Leadbeater recalls. “On the field used for the trial we measured a SMN of 27kg N/ha and an AAN of 29kg N/ha which resulted in a total N-Min reserve of 56kg N/ha. This, combined with the N estimated to already be in the plant, resulted in an SNS of 94kg/ha N. “CF N-Calc then determined a rate of 190kg N/ha would be required in addition to achieve a yield of around 9t/ha.”
Plot divisions The field was divided in two with all plots receiving 27kg N/ha and 30kg SO3/ha from a first application of DoubleTop but then half the plots would receive their subsequent nitrogen as Nitram (34.5% N) and the other half as straight urea, he explains. “All plots received the same additional 163kg N/ha to make up the full 190kg N/ha but the plots receiving the DoubleTop/Nitram combination produced 9.74t/ha while the DoubleTop/urea one achieved 8.3t/ha – 1.44t/ha less. “When you start looking at

the financials, it gets even more interesting. While the Nitram cost £220/t and the urea £200/t, the extra expenditure more than paid off with an increase in margin of £193/ha – £1,431/ha as opposed £1,239/ha – in favour of Nitram. “That’s a 13 per cent increase overall, which if you achieved similar benefits across all the land Matthew farms would be worth nearly £120,000. “While in reality it’s unlikely you would see this, we are recording SNS levels ranging from 65–130kg N/ ha across the land so there is a lot of potential to fine-tune efficiency of fertiliser use.”
Late winter and early spring is crunch time in more ways than one for many pests such as rabbits, deer, pigeons and geese. As natural food sources are at their most scarce at that time, especially if there is a covering of snow, brassica crops such as cauliflower, cabbage, rape and turnips are particularly vulnerable. Rabitof from Solufeed has proven to be an effective deterrent, discouraging pests without harming them, says the company. Based on fresh concentrated garlic extract combined with other natural plant compounds Rabitof is
an inexpensive and safe spray that is kind to the environment and will not taint or flavour edibles, says Solufeed. In addition, its high levels of natural sulphur and selenium stimulates healthy growth and mitigates the effects of disease attack. Rabitof is applied as a fine diluted spray (normally 500–700-litres/ha) to cover all parts of the crop. It’s available in 1-, 5- and 20-litre containers from approved stockists, or direct from Solufeed. ■ Rabitof from Solufeed has proven to be an effective deterrent, discouraging pests without harming them.
Eye opener Matthew says the results were a real eye opener. “The thing that amazed me the most was that we changed nothing other than the source of nitrogen for our final fertiliser applications – everything else was the same. “Even the combine driver commented how much fuller the crops felt on those that had the Nitram applied – the difference was that noticeable.” All crops farmed by Matthew now get their first application as DoubleTop with all subsequent N applications from Nitram. A new 24m Kuhn Axis spreader with section control and variable rate capability has just been purchased and he doesn’t see the fertiliser policy changing any time soon. “We’ve moved on from urea and have considered liquid fertilisers in the past but they don’t really fit in with our policy of staying flexible. We can spray and spread fertiliser at the same time and we don’t put any undue pressure on the sprayer. “I can cover up to 200ha of fertiliser spreading in a day by myself and I just wouldn’t be able to get near that work rate with liquid fertilisers. Plus I’d have to have another guy working with me with a bowser due to our spread of land. “I can’t see how we would get better performance from them either in terms of higher yields or better cost effectiveness.” ■

‘Belt and braces’ approach benefitted barley in tough year Whether you grow spring barley for its competitiveness as part of a blackgrass control strategy, or are simply looking at the higher yields and better financial returns it can offer when compared with other spring sown alternatives, spring barley has firmly established itself as the default choice for many UK growers. Andover-based contract farmer and farm manager, Matt Culley manages five farms in Hampshire and has always been a keen advocate of high yielding spring barleys that offer the added marketability of the Null-Lox trait sought by European brewers. “Although my rotation is primarily wheat, oilseed rape and spring barley I have reduced my oilseed rape area significantly in recent years due to spiralling input costs, flea beetle concerns and poor financial returns,” he says. “If managed well, spring barley should deliver higher yields and better gross margins/ha than either spring wheat or spring oats. “It has always been my main spring crop,” he adds. Following previous successes with Null-Lox varieties such as Charmain and Chapeau, Mr Culley opted to try Chanson, a new Null-Lox spring barley from breeder Elsoms Seeds, on two of his farms last year following an initial recommendation from Gleadell. “Due to the extended cold snap we were not able to begin drilling spring barley until 18th April, putting us under immediate pressure. Over a five-day window we drilled over 280ha using a 6m Vaderstad Rapid drill focusing on varieties Chanson, Planet and Propino. Following on from our usual establishment method of raking the previous autumn, we TopDown cultivated three days prior to variable rate drilling at an average seed density of 425 seeds/m2. To support establishment and early growth we simultaneously applied nitrogen at a rate of 120kg/ha at Lower Wyke Farm and 105kg/ha at Parsonage Farm, a historically lower yielding spring barley site,” he points out.
Three-spray programme To help the crop attain its full yield potential, Mr Culley adopted a ‘belt and braces’ three-spray programme with the main emphasis on control of rhynchosporium and wild oats. “On 28th May at growth stage 24 we applied Siltra Xpro (bixafen + prothioconazole), plus a manganese and sulphur product, along with herbicides Biplay SX (metsulfuron +
tribenuron) and Starane (fluroxypyr) for broad-leaf weed and cleaver control. “At growth stage 37 we went back into the crop with Rover (chlorothalonil) for control of ramularia, with manganese and sulphur again. By growth stage 41 the Chanson was a clean crop, standing well with no requirement for a PGR. We then applied our last fungicide on 18th June; Siltra Xpro for the control of rhynchosporium and net blotch with herbicide Axial (pinoxaden) for control of wild oats,” he explains.
During the six weeks leading up to the end of July Mr Culley’s spring barley saw no further rain and, despite the moisture-retaining abilities of his predominantly chalk based/clay cap soil, a decision to harvest on both sites was made on 31st July with some of the crops beginning to show signs of stress. “Looking back I think the Chanson coped better with the extended dry spell than some of our other varieties and its final yield of 6.5t/ha at Lower Wyke was 0.5t/ ha higher than both the Planet and Propino grown on the same site. At
Parsonage Farm the Chanson crop yielded 5.75t/ha – again, this was ahead of the other main varieties but just below the site’s 10 year average,” says Mr Culley. “After factoring in the freak dry spell I was still very satisfied. Overall Chanson displayed good early vigour, had very few disease issues and yielded well during one of the most challenging agronomic seasons I can remember. “The only notable downside being the earlier harvesting date which made the Chanson tougher to cut,” he concludes. ■

Dealer open day
Long-established south-west dealer celebrates expansion For more than 50 years, family owned and run Vincent Tractors & Plant Ltd has served farmers across Cornwall and the operation has recently expanded to look after customers in Devon too. David Williams attended the celebrations. Husband and wife team Ken and Esme Vincent started the business in 1965 at Summercourt, near Newquay, and quickly outgrew their small workshop encouraging relocation to Fraddon in 1966, which remains the company’s headquarters today. Ken and Esme remain involved although their son Paul is now managing director and his sons have also joined the company – Alec as finance manager and Nick as a construction specialist. In 1982 the Kubota franchise was taken on and since then more than 5,500 machines have been supplied across Devon and Cornwall. Agricultural, construction, turf and groundcare products are sold and serviced and to reflect this the company changed its trading name to Vincent Tractors & Plant in 2018. “Kubota’s reputation for reliability and efficiency is excellent,” explained Paul. “We took on the agricultural range at its introduction in the early 1990s, and it has always suited our area. More than half the tractors we supply have front loaders, most users are owner drivers, a superb fiveyear warranty is available and there have always been attractive finance packages allowing purchasers to buy reliable new tractors with costs spread to suit their businesses.” Kubota increased its agricultural product offering in 2015, with the introduction of larger and more powerful M7-series tractors complementing the previous largest MGX 135 models. In early 2017 grass harvest products and spreaders, previously available only with Vicon
branding, were added to the Kubota line-up and the possible future addition of cultivation products and drills will enable Kubota and its dealers recognition as full line suppliers, catering for the needs of most UK farmers. “For many years we could only supply tractors up to 100hp so most customers were livestock farms,” added Paul, “but since having larger tractors to offer, interest has increased from arable farms, estates and contractors and we have taken most competitor brands in as part-exchanges in recent years. With high performance grassland machinery and spreaders available too, sales are increasing.” Other main franchises include Manitou handlers, Ifor Williams Trailers, Yamaha ATVs, Kidd Farm Machinery, Teagle, Browns and Marshall Trailers, catering for the needs of the mainly livestock and grassland farms in the trading area.
Devon depots The dealer’s success resulted in a request by Kubota to represent it in Devon too; but this would have to be backed by significant investment in additional staff and new premises to match the standard of service that had been so successful in Cornwall. Two new depots were established, at Holsworthy and Smithaleigh, and their official openings were celebrated a week apart in early-December. At the open days visitors had the opportunity to inspect Kubota’s full range along with machinery from

the other suppliers. Company and dealer representatives were on-hand explaining features and benefits at both events. “We were delighted that farmers and contractors from across Devon attended,” commented Paul. “We didn’t know what to expect as it’s still early days for us in the area but there was amazing support from potential customers welcoming us and keen to find out what we can offer. Some already operate Kubota tractors having dealt with the previous dealers, but others have been considering the brand and are keen to have demonstrations as soon as possible. We have taken orders as a direct result of the open days and expect more business to materialise in the spring. Although most interest was from agricultural users, construction equipment received many enquiries too. “What also pleased us was the variety of farm types and sizes represented by visitors and along with traditional family mixed and livestock
farms there were also owners and managers of larger enterprises up to 1,250ha. We achieved a lot during the open days and believe that customers in our new trading area will be delighted with the product range we offer and the service available to back it up.” At Holsworthy the official opening was by Kubota business development manager for tractors and groundcare Adrian Langmead and at Smithaleigh by Kubota business development manager for construction equipment, Glen Hampson. “The Vincent family have been great partners with Kubota,” said Glen as he unveiled the plaque. “I believe this dealer will only become stronger going forward. We have best in class products and a superb dealer network across the UK and Ireland. Having the right partners in the right places is critical for that success and we are delighted that the Vincent family will represent us now in this area.” continued over...

Dealer open day Keen to meet the team ...More on previous page Jake Harris is pictured with his daughter Martha enjoying the comfort of the Kubota cab. The family trades as Fox Harris Farms, based at Newton Ferrers, and rears organic beef and sheep. “We haven’t dealt with Vincent Tractors & Plant previously so were keen to meet the team,” explained Jake. “This depot location is ideal for us and we are always looking for new kit.”
40 year partnership Browns Agricultural Machinery area sales manager for west and south-west England, John Brindley is pictured. “Vincent Tractors & Plant is one of our longest established dealers having supplied our products for approximately 40 years,” he said. “Most popular have been post knockers, grass harrows, spring tine harrows and bale handling attachments, and I think part of the company’s success is that it is a family business looking after customers which are also family businesses. It’s great to see the younger generation joining the team and running the business with Paul.”
Enthusiasm and attention to detail Kidd sales manager Colin Pearson commented that the Vincent family’s enthusiasm and attention to detail along with the Kubota brand means expansion into the new trading area can’t fail to be successful. “The team has historically looked after Cornwall for Kidd and it will do a great job in Devon too. Our toppers, post drivers, shredder bedders, flail mowers and hedge cutters are all in strong demand through the dealer. “Ken and Paul have a great reputation in Cornwall and I believe potential customers in Devon will already have heard of the high standard of service available.”
Easy branch access Alan Tregellas who farms near Liskeard in Cornwall was at the open day and is pictured (left) with Paul Vincent. “The new branch will be easier for us to get to than the Fraddon depot,” he said. “We usually deal with Paul or Nick there and it’s a good family business with a strong reputation.” The family farm includes arable crops and grass as well as 150 Dorset ewes.

Machinery Growing loader demand ...More on previous page Quicke loader and implement area sales representative for the south of England Chris Pyle is pictured with one of the company’s range of shear-grabs. “Vincent Tractors & Plant supplies our loaders for fitting to new and used tractors,” he explained. “Demand for bigger loaders is growing, as farms rely on telehandlers for yard work and use tractors elsewhere as a more versatile alternative. With many tractors having 50kph transmissions, fitting them with a loader and using them to cart bales from fields is very efficient, reducing the number of people and machines needed. “We have supplied quite a few loaders for Kubota M7-series tractors and, with our range including versions for tractors from 50hp upward, it ideally matches Kubota’s line-up. We have loaders compatible with Kubota’s own integrated joystick so additional controls aren’t needed, and our latest Q-series loaders for tractors from 100hp upward can have Q-Companion fitted, providing accurate weighing. We also offer a range of larger materials handler attachments which have proved popular with customers of Vincent Tractors & Plant in Cornwall, so we expect them to be attractive to the dealer’s new customers in Devon too.”

Contractor’s view From Frank Cummings Agricultural Services, brothers Darryl (left) and Phillip Cummings were at the open day. “We are a family business based near Ivybridge offering a contracting service to estates and local farms,” explained Darryl. “Hedge cutting is a major activity and we do a lot of baling too, while during spring and summer we spread digestate. Most of our work is for regular customers within a 20-mile radius of our base.” Phillip said the business purchased parts and sundries from the previous Kubota dealer in the area and that he and Darryl were at the event meeting the sales team and checking out the latest products. “Based just a few miles distant, we have watched the development work and signs going up during the past six months or so, and were keen to find out what was available. Early indications are that the dealer is good to deal with, nothing seems too much trouble and I believe we will receive great service,” he said. “I’m impressed with what we have seen of the latest Kubota tractors and with the dealer so conveniently located for us these could be an option for the future.”

The Kubota and Vincent Tractors & Plant relationship has been a great success, and Paul Vincent says Kubota has been committed to helping the dealer build the business, ensuring great back up. “Customers were impressed to receive visits by Kubota engineers from Japan, seeking feedback regarding potential improvements. Many suggested changes were quickly implemented on the production lines.” (l-r) Kubota and Vicon implements key account manager for the south Michael Bridges; Kubota business development manager for agriculture Rob Edwards; Kubota dealer manager for agriculture Phill Brooks; Vincent Tractors & Plant agricultural salesman Richard Felton; Vincent Tractors & Plant technician Andrew Frampton; Kverneland Group service specialist for Kubota, Kverneland and Vicon Richard White and Vincent Tractors & Plant finance manager Alec Vincent.

Successful relationship
Strong demand for grassland products Kverneland Group service specialist for Kubota, Kverneland and Vicon, Richard White is pictured (left) with Kubota and Vicon implements key account manager for the south, Michael Bridges at the event. “There is strong demand for grassland products – especially rakes and tedders and fertiliser spreaders too,” explained Michael. “The traditional Vari-spreader has also proved popular in the Kubota colours. “Vicon round balers have a good name in the industry for performance and reliability and with the Kubota dealer network growing this has increased interest from potential users. The full range of mowers, rakes and tedders is also available for the coming season in the Kubota line-up.” The latest Geospread fertiliser applicators have also joined Kubota’s range, with full Isobus compatibility and spread width section control accuracy increased from 2m to 1m, he explained. So far, the M7132 Access variant has been the best-selling M7-series tractor according to Vincent Tractors & Plant agricultural salesman based at Smithaleigh, Richard Felton. “It’s a great range; we have already sold three agricultural specification tractors to users in Devon since September, before the depots opened. They include an MGX 115, an M4062 and an M7152, two of which were bought by beef farmers and the M7 was bought by a dairy farm. We see huge potential for the M7 range and are running two demonstrators including an M7172-KVT Premium with CVT transmission and auto-steer ready, plus an M7152 Access specification which is the entry-level model.”

New UK importer for long-established brand
Ino’s Duplex Euro heavy-duty folding mowers offer high work rates but can still handle material up to 6cm. The Dominator is for front or rear mounting and designed for high speed mulching of thick vegetation.
The Ino Forst flail mower is suitable for shredding trees, bushes and branches up to 20cm diameter.
.
Taking on the Ino flail mower range is an exciting opportunity for new official UK importer Jacobsens GFM, and will delight customers. “We are delighted to have been appointed the sole importer for UK and Ireland for the long-established Ino Brezice agricultural machinery brand,” commented Jacobsens GFM director Symon Jacobsen. “Our stand was very busy throughout the two days of Lamma ‘19, at which we took many orders and also received many enquiries to follow up in the coming months, which clearly demonstrated that our range of products from well-
known brands is in strong demand. With the new Ino franchise opening up new markets to us, the year has started on a very positive note.” Representing Ino gives Jacobsens GFM a wide range of flail mowers to offer, from heavy-duty forestry versions to lighter models for general grass maintenance. Rear and sidemounted, and adjustable offset flails are included in the range, and the heaviest professional models can cope
with vegetation up to 25cm diameter. At Lamma, the new Dominator multi-functional flail proved a highlight. Already a favourite with professional users, it can be front or rear mounted and is designed to mulch large quantities of vegetation and crop residues at high speed in a wide range of working conditions. A large opening at the front copes easily with variable swaths, self-cleaning counter blades ensure fine shredding performance and its standard Hardox blades cope easily with material up to 6cm diameter. The support roller is also designed for professional use; mounted on long-lasting sealed double bearings and it features the Easy-and-Simple height adjustment system making it ideal for users working in a range of conditions. The Dominator is attractively prices and available in 2.5, 2.8 and 3.1m working widths. The MKS Plus flail is another popular option for agricultural and municipal use. The gearbox is mounted on one end of the hood, to provide increased lateral movement The Boxer flail mower cuts and collects, and handles material up to 5cm.
when working. It copes easily with grass, bushes, branches and crop residues, and with a wide angle of head movement available, it is ideal for banks, ditches and other uneven terrain. Mechanical break-back proved protection if it strikes an obstacle. The hood is double-skinned which makes it very easy to change when it s worn, saving time and money. The rotor is a double spiral which reduces the power requirement, provides a level finish and extends component working life. The Ino range includes nearly 30 different models of mower in a range of sizes to suit every application and Jacobsens GFM will keep the most popular in stock, with other models available within just a few days. Full after-sales back-up is provided with service and wearing parts available for immediate dispatch from its Inverbervie, Aberdeenshire base, or from the manufacturer. “Ino Brezice is a quality brand, with an excellent reputation and it complements our other main brands – Degenhart and Sauter front linkages and PTOs, and our own Jacobsens GFM brushes,” added Symon.

Latest products greet open day visitors A late 2018 open day at Claas main dealer Manns Market Harborough depot provided an opportunity for new and existing customers to meet the team and find out about all the latest machinery on offer. David Williams was there. The Manns sales team has had several new additions and role changes during 2018, including a new branch manager at Market Harborough with Stephen Hiller now in charge. Field sales manager for Northants and part of east Warwickshire, Colin Hynard, joined in August and field sales manager for Leicestershire and Rutland, Matt McIver started his new role in September following his move from the dealer’s workshops as an engineer having originally joined as an apprentice six years before. Manns used machinery manager Alastair McCallum was also at the open day, having changed roles from Claas UK product manager for tractors during the autumn.
Great support “Our open day was well supported,” said Stephen. “Visitors attended from at least 27 farms and
agricultural businesses across our trading area and it was a great opportunity for us to chat and find out their plans for the future and identify ways we can help their businesses. “Most interest was in Claas tractors as many specification updates and improvements have been made in recent years and they have become a common sight on farms in the area. Customers were keen to meet dealer team members in their new roles and our sales managers, Colin Hynard and Matthew McIver were busy all day discussing features and benefits of the Horsch range including sprayers, cultivators and drills. We have at least 10 demonstrations booked already for the spring as a direct result of the open day and are expecting a busy year.” “We have a bigger than ever tractor range with a wide choice
of specification, and the brand’s growing reputation is reflected in demand for used machines just as much as the latest models,” explained Alastair. “Our used machinery trade is buoyant generally, including for second-
hand combines from the largest Lexion to smaller Tucanos. Taking on the Horsch franchise has proved very successful and availability of used cultivation equipment, drills and sprayers is improving and, with green harvest products to offer too, our range is more appealing with something for all sizes of farms and times of the year. “Prices are holding up well so it’s an ideal time for those considering buying new equipment to take advantage of good trade in values and with Manns now operating from seven branches including Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambs, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, this larger trading area has resulted in a wider range of products to choose from.” continued over...

Manns open day
Impressed by new team
Change of tractor brand
...More on previous page Farmers A&B Turney manager Phil Bootheway (left) was at the open day and is pictured with Manns’ Market Harborough service manager Daniel Marlow. The farm is at Foxton, Leicestershire, not far from the Manns’ Market Harborough depot and is all arable, producing a range of combinable crops. Claas products include an Arion 650 tractor, and a Lexion 760TT combine with tracks was delivered shortly after the open day replacing a 17-year old Lexion 480 and a 5-year old Lexion 650, both on wheels. The Lexion 650 had been covered by a Claas Maxicare extended warranty until last year and the new combine has been purchased with Maxicare Gold and is likely to be run for five to six years before being replaced. “They are good combines,” commented Phil. “Back-up is very good too and I’m impressed by the new team at Market Harborough.” Phil said the Arion 650 has proved reliable and impressed users during the five years since it arrived on the farm, also covered by a Maxicare plan. “We run other tractor brands too, but users like the Claas for its comfort and reliability. We all enjoy dealing with the Manns team and Matt is now our main sales contact while we deal mainly with service manager Dan Marlow for service. It’s good back-up and it’s local.”
Steve Hill (centre) of TW Hill & Son is pictured at the open day with his son Ollie (left) and Matt McIver. The family farm is at Bartby, Leicestershire and is mixed with livestock including sheep and horses, and arable cropping consisting of combinable crops. “Our first Claas combine was a Matador Standard in the 1960s,” Steve explained. Then we changed to another brand for a while, also offered by Kirby (now Manns), then returned to Claas. We bought a Lexion 460 second-hand 15 years ago and ran it for 7 years with superb reliability despite it having had a hard working life previously, then we replaced it with a Lexion 570 which is now 7 years old and has also been very reliable. It’s great to operate, an ideal size for us and easy to move about, and it does a good job.” At the open day, a change of tractor brand to Claas was discussed, resulting in an order placed for 2 new machines in early January. “Matt was keen for us to move to Claas and with the dealer only 12 miles from our base it’s local and we can trust the service, both of which are essential,” added Steve. “We ran 4 tractors but could see that changing to 2 and using them more intensively would make sense, and with a 5-year warranty helping fix running costs we intend updating them regularly to run a modern fleet. We had a demonstration in the autumn and were impressed by the comfort and performance and with the combines having performed so well for us and the dealer providing good service for 40 years we are happy relying on the whole Claas package.”

LAMMA 2019 review
Warm and dry NEC-based Lamma proves popular Lamma 2019 will be remembered as the first year this traditionally outdoor show moved indoors, and it appears to have been a big success. David Williams checked out the machinery lines. Lamma’s outdoor finale last year was marked by gale force winds forcing the show to close for the second day, helping confirm that January in the UK isn’t the best time for an outside event. The move to the NEC provoked a mixed reaction, particularly from exhibitors, many fearing that the show’s relaxed character would be lost, others fearing
increased costs to display and others not happy about a second location change within just a few years with the show’s previous homes being Newark and Peterborough. The move reduced the number of dealers exhibiting, and also caused several manufacturers and importers to stay away this year, so it will be
interesting to see whether the show flourishes at the NEC going forward, or eventually disappears from the annual events calendar. Feedback from exhibitors to Farmers Guide at the event was entirely positive; including ease of stand build-up which many had feared would be difficult in the more formal surroundings. However, it appears that organisers were flexible and accommodating, doing what they could to ease the process, and several exhibitors commented on the friendly
service from the fork-lift operator team which did far more than expected to assist, without demanding additional fees. The show was particularly busy the first day and stand sales teams reported contact with potential customers throughout. Many visitors, it appeared, had come with shopping lists of farm products and sundries and were looking in comfort at potential options. Time will tell whether the NECbased show proves a success, but first indications are positive.
Team Opico
Team Opico is pictured early on the first day of the show, surrounded by a wide range of Opico, Maschio, He-Va, Strautmann and Sky Drill products.

Extended plough range
New from the Maschio range is the Jane bed tiller. “The build strength of Maschio rotary cultivators is very well known,” explained Opico Maschio UK product manager David Day (pictured with the new machine). “Bed tillers have been viewed as very specialist with products available only through a small number of dealers, but with growers under pressure to deliver fixed amounts of produce per day, downtime isn’t an option, and wider availability will be a benefit. The Jane bed tiller shares many components with Maschio rotary cultivators, so users can enjoy the same excellent reliability and when parts and servicing is required, the entire Maschio dealer network is available to help.”
Following the success of Maschio’s M- and L-series ploughs – introduced to the UK market in 2017, a semi-mounted version, the Mirco, has joined the range. “Our ploughs have an excellent reputation, with a mouldboard profile ensuring complete soil inversion in almost all working conditions,” pointed out Maschio sales manager and plough specialist Robin Immink. A sturdy 160 x 160mm main beam is used and the plough can work on-land or in-furrow. A unique headstock design allows headland turns up to 100 degrees making it easy to manoeuvre in tight field corners. The Mirco plough is available with 6–9f with shear-bolts or automatic hydraulic reset. An optional steering ram on the rear wheel allows the plough to be kept in line whether working on-land or in-furrow. David Day (right) and Robin Immink are pictured with the new plough which is expected to be available in late 2019.

LAMMA 2019 review New straw tines option
...More on previous page
Manufacturer previews new handler A new option for He-Va Tip Rollers was displayed. 16mm straw tines can be mounted in a single or double row, or used in a single row combined with other mounted tools. Pictured with the new straw tines are Henrik Bech Skadhauge (left) with Opico UK sales manager Charles Bedforth.
First showing of lighter weight drill The Claydon team celebrated the first showing of its T6C drill. Complementing the current T6 version, the T6C is lighter and better suited to use behind a 300hp tractor or small crawler. Cutting discs at the front deal with cover crops and trash. The seed frame floats separately from the hopper chassis so that seeding depth remains constant regardless of the seed amount and weight. The hopper is similar to the 4m T4 drill, with 3,600-litres capacity and a movable flap allows seed-only or a 60/40 split between seed and fertiliser. The drilling system is almost identical to Claydon’s larger drills including leading tines with 600kg break-back protection, capable of working down to 150mm deep. “We want to effectively shatter but not turn the soil,” explained managing director Jeff Claydon. “Our drilling technique is well-proven to encourage strong rooting leading to strong crops able to withstand harsh growing conditions. We trialed the new drill on our own heavy-land Suffolk farm for two years and the crops have looked and yielded well. Work rates were impressive too, and we managed easily 40ha/day.”
Merlo previewed its 65.9 telescopic handler at the event. It won’t be available until Spring 2020 but orders will be taken from late 2019. The new loader replaces the current 55.9 model with a 6.5t lift capacity and 9m maximum lift height. Few other details regarding the new handler have been released and the pre-series machine displayed was due to return to Italy immediately after the event, explained Merlo UK after sales manager Peter Coward who is pictured (right) with Merlo country manager for the UK Massimo Biei.
New distributor for powered sweepers SPA Power Machinery is known for its Easy Petrol Post Driver, but emphasis at the show was on Westermann powered sweepers, for which the company has become the UK distributor. Power is from electric motors or Honda petrol engines and the Honda Radial besen ‘moss brush’ with steel bristles is proving the most popular version to date, priced at £1,330. Other bristle options are available to suit the application, and director Laurie Anthony said interest at the show had been considerable. Pictured (l-r) Laurie, Mark Swift and director Alex Anthony.
Implement tyre with VF technology Alliance Tyres (ATG) exhibited the world’s first implement tyre with VF technology. The Agriflex+ 389VF can carry the same load as a standard flotation radial, but with 30 per cent lower inflation pressure, but can also be inflated to the same working pressure as the standard tyre, and carry 30 per cent additional load. It’s rated to 65kph and is available currently in 8 sizes with more due to be added.

LAMMA 2019 review
New Loadalls launched JCB’s new series 3 Loadalls were launched at the show, with an all-new Command Plus cab. The cab offers 12 per cent more space, better visibility, lower operating noise levels and greater comfort. A neater control layout allows the dashboard to be lower, improving forward visibility and provides increased storage space. All 6.0, 7.0 and 9.5m models gain up to 200kg extra lift performance and a new option is hydraulic leveling of the front axle for precise load placement. Pressure release can be activated from inside and outside the cab making it easier to attach implements. For the 109hp versions, a new 40kph powershift transmission is available with 4 speeds and lock-up for improved performance and efficiency while traveling and towing, compared with the regular 30kph transmission.
Versatile Unimog a cost-effective option
Formal launch for new tractor brand ArmaTrac is a serious brand, was the clear message sent by the company, which had one of the largest stands at the show. “This is our formal launch since first displaying the brand at Lamma four years ago,” said ArmaTrac UK chairman Ray McNally. “Since then we have selected and appointed dealers to represent us across most of the UK. We were inundated with enquiries from potential dealers; impressed by our growing range, but the fit has to be right for our customers and us and we need companies willing to invest in parts and back-up for users. Customer service is our number one priority and, as long as we get that right, users will remain loyal and our target is repeat business.” Ray is pictured (left) with dealer Dwayn Clover of Clover Farm Services, and the new 1254 tractor, powered by a Deutz engine and with a retail price of approximately £40,000. Also new on the ArmaTrac stand was the 80hp 804 fruit tractor, designed specifically for orchards and fruit growers, and with an exclusive curved windscreen to deflect branches. A further new addition to the range was the 512 fruit and garden tractor, available only with an open operator platform and 2wd.
Precision planting advantages
Unimog specialist Rygor Commercials displayed one of the latest U530 models, popular with UK farmers and contractors. Rygor Commercials Unimog sales specialist Matt Cleave is based at the dealer’s Westbury, Wilts depot. “We were one of the first UK dealers for Unimog, and look after customers from our network of 11 depots, mainly in the south, southwest and West Midlands,” he explained. “Machines we supply are used for agriculture and forestry as well as municipal tasks, and part of their appeal to farmers is their efficiency and safety on the road. Superb fuel efficiency and very low depreciation make them a cost-effective option compared with conventional lorries or tractors.” Mercedes Benz after-sales manager Gareth Davies added that back-up for Unimog users is second to none. “They come under our commercial vehicles service arrangement whereby any Unimog under its standard or extended warranty that breaks down has to be attended by a dealer technician within 90 minutes of a call-out,” he explained. “Mercedes Benz then monitors progress of the repair from start to finish and the closest dealer and its technicians are accountable throughout.” Pictured (l-r) Unimog product specialist Michael Bateman, Rygor Commercials truck training manager Chris Moore, Matt Cleave and Gareth Davies.
More over page... Vaderstad area sales manager for the east Rowland Dines is pictured (left) with Norfolk-based dealer William Randell and a Tempo TPL 18 precision seeder. The 18-row 9m drill has been ordered by an East Anglian-based farm to establish a range of crops including maize, sugar beet and oilseed rape, also applying fertiliser during drilling when required. “The attraction for the customer is its ability to drill multiple crop types. Precision planting offers advantages including improved plant establishment which should also increase yields and the Tempo seeding system is well proven for reliability of seed spacing, even at high working speeds. The customer had a demonstration last spring and was very impressed with the results in wet, sticky working conditions and is looking forward to using the drill this year,” explained William.

LAMMA 2019 review Debut for self-propelled mower ...More on previous page
Irrigation specialist showcases new products
Krone’s Big M 450 self-propelled mower has replaced the previous Big M 420 model and was displayed for the first time in the UK. A Liebherr straight-6, 449hp engine meeting latest Tier 4 final emissions requirements powers the machine, which shares similar cutting technology with the previous model. Cutting width is 9.5m and EasyCut mower beds ensure efficient mowing performance. One is already working in the UK and advantages over tractormounted mowers include rear wheel steering, and drive and rear wheels behind the cutters. Also displayed for the first time was a new option for the BaleCollect. Previously only 3x120cm wide bales could be handled, but latest versions are also available for 5x80cm bales, explained marketing manager James Duggleby who pointed out that Krone is celebrating 25 years of big baler production this year.
Irrigation specialist Wroot Water has exhibited at Lamma since the show started at its previous Newark location, and announced several new products at the event. New high performance irrigation tape provides the same water transmission efficiency over 400m runs as current tape achieves over 300m and is available for this spring, explained managing director Anthony Hopkins. New irrigation control hardware was also shown by the company. “The Solem system is completely new and compatible with our own and almost all other components,” said Anthony. “Using MySolem management software, everything links through the internet allowing monitoring and control from anywhere with a data connection. A base unit communicates with the system 10 times per day, or more frequently if necessary, with information stored in the valve units between transmissions. Previously we were dependent on radio signals which can be unreliable, but Solem uses Bluetooth, LoRa, or WiFi which can all be used to communicate between components, so the system is extremely versatile making it easy to install and use. Its simplicity and reliability means we expect strong demand from the industry.” Pictured on the Wroot Water stand are (l-r) sales specialist Stuart Turner, irrigation technician Reice Singh and Anthony.

Latest Zetor tractors on show Zetor UK national sales manager Nigel Wilson is pictured with the latest addition to the tractor range – the 170HD Crystal. “The new 150HD and 170HD models have replaced the previous Crystal and will be available in time for autumn cultivations,” he said. “Most interest is from mixed and smaller arable farms and we will offer targeted finance plans for contractors, many of who have expressed particular interest.”
Improved spreading accuracy is available for the Sulky DX range of spreaders, explained technical manager Richard German. The DX range suits smaller arable and grassland farms and previously users could opt for automatic twosection spread control shutting off either the right hand or left hand side. New ECO#6 allows More over page... control of three sections on each side, by reducing the application rate through each, based on GPS information from the Teejet Matrix 570 screen. “Demand for accurate fertiliser application is increasing,” explained Richard. “On grassland, where there are no tramlines to follow a simple, cost-effective system like this allows users to be confident that fertiliser has been applied where intended, in the quantity required.” Prices start at £13,000 for the smallest DX spreaders equipped with the system.

First UK appearance for rotary brush On Spaldings’ stand, a new rotary brush made its first UK appearance, as part of a new range of Padagas sweepers and sweeper-collectors offered by the company. The base 2.5m model has a 600mm diameter brush with a top shield, hand crank-adjusted castor support wheels and 25-degree hydraulic angling and is available with tractor linkage or telehandler attachment options. An extra-large 915mm diameter brush is available on Padagas Shark models available in 2.5 and 2.9m working widths, powered by dual hydraulic motors. Sweeper collector versions include the Profi H-2501 with a hydraulically emptied 0.42m3 bin.
LAMMA 2019 review Busy show for equipment company
Manure spreader, trailer and plough manufacturer Agrihire Ltd enjoyed a busy show with interest in sales and hire of its spreaders and the Hubert plough range. “It was a fantastic show for us,” said sales and general manager Ben Clowes. “We displayed a 10t vertical beater spreader plus an 18t model with spinners, and the 10t spreader was sold from the stand and delivered to the buyer the next day. Visitors had travelled from across the UK, resulting in enquiries from the south-west and Scotland as well as our more usual trading areas. In the two days after the show we sold four additional machines as a direct result of enquiries made there. One of these was a Hubert plough, and the model displayed impressed many stand visitors, not just because of its build quality, but also because it is totally British.”
The Weaving stand is always busy at agricultural shows and Lamma was no exception. A new version of the 6m GD drill was displayed for the first time, also available in 4.0, 4.8 , 6.4 and 8.0m seeding widths. The GD6001T is a compact version of the GD8000T and meets demand for an operator-friendly compact drill suitable for smaller tractors. The biggest design change alters coulter weight distribution; with the seed hopper now Weaving also launched a over the coulters bringing it closer to the tractor new side arm mower at and allowing users to monitor performance more the event. easily. The drill is designed for zero-tillage crop establishment but is equally well suited to conventional seeding techniques, particularly for those wanting to reduce soil disturbance during drilling. The coulters and metering system are almost identical to the previous version. “We have been very busy as interest in reduced disturbance drilling systems continues to grow,” explained sales manager Simon Weaving. “Our GD and Sabre-Tine drills are seeing strong demand and our range of flail mowers is also popular.” Also new from Weaving was the Auto Reset Sabre Drill combining aspects of the company’s Tine and Sabre drills. The new drill is designed for low disturbance farming systems but is equally successful within conventional, plough-based cultivation regimes when conditions dictate. The drill complements all soil types from very light to heavy, and is suitable for wet or dry drilling seasons. With 4 rows of auto-reset tines and conventional 12.5cm row spacing it copes easily with large amounts of trash and is suitable for seeds of all sizes from oilseed rape to beans.
UK debut for 6wd ATV
Strong interest in concrete panels
Successful event for plough manufacturer
A new 6wd ATV made its UK debut on the BRP Can-Am stand. With larger racks than a conventional 4-wheel machine and extra traction through the additional rear axle, the Outlander 450 complements Outlander 650 and 1,000cc 6wd models already available in the Can-Am line-up. UK commercial manager James Dalke (pictured) said additional load space and carrying capacity makes the new model ideal for tasks such as slug pelleting, and will also appeal to hill farmers for the extra traction available. The price is approximately £1,000 more than the 450 Pro 4wd conventional 4-wheel model.

Whites Concrete offers pre-cast and pre-stressed concrete elements for use in agricultural and general construction. “For over 25 years we have been providing concrete storage and retaining solutions for the agricultural market,” explained technical manager Stephen Casey (above). “Interest at the show has been mainly in flat panels for grain stores and walling. “We were a little unsure about the show being at the NEC, and thought the first day might be quiet, but it was very busy with a constant stream of visitors asking advice relating to new construction technology and looking for solutions to suit their situations. It’s definitely worth us being here.”

The attendance was good and we saw a mix of new and existing customers. We tend to use the Lamma Show to gauge how the year ahead is looking and from what we have seen so far it is very positive. “Previously our flail mower manufacturing was sourced outside our company, but with our background in side-arm hedge and verge cutters it made sense for us to produce these in house. The new models were sold in limited numbers last year but, because demand exceeded supply, there was no official launch. Now though, we have invested in additional manufacturing machinery; they are in full production and available to order in working widths 1.3–3.0m, using flails made by us too. The warranty is 2 years, double what was offered previously.” Also displayed for the first time was a new rotary mower. The Twinblade HD is available in 4 versions; 2.4 and 2.7m, for 540 or 1,000rpm PTO drives. Wheels and adjustable skids are standard as are chain guards all around. Puncture-proof plastic wheels are fitted and the blade is mounted on stump jumper disc pans, borrowed from larger models in the range.
Transtacker available for 2019 harvest Big Bale Co’s latest Transtacker has been in development more than three years and after three seasons of rigorous testing, it will be available in limited numbers for the 2019 harvest. The new model is fully automatic, and compatible with CTF farming systems, courtesy of a front-mounted tractor bump bar which pushes bales into line with the trailer pick-up. The fully automatic loading system has to be told the bale size; 80x70, 80x90, 120x70, 120x90 or 120x127, where the tie layers are required (if any) and the management system automatically loads and stacks the trailer as instructed. Carrying typical 120x90 bales, 18 can be transported in total. “The test machine working in a CTF situation during the 2018 harvest successfully loaded and transported 15,500 bales,” explained design engineer Tom Bradbury. “The price is approximately £95,000 and part of the development has been designing systems to work in any climates, including the heat of the Middle East from where we receive many enquiries. “Work rates with the fully automatic operation are approximately 25 per cent higher than for the previous semi-automatic version and we believe the latest model will prove popular.” Tom is pictured (centre) with service engineer John Corfield (left) and Transtacker manager Elliot O’Brien, and the CTF bump bar.
First multihead weigher Vegetable weighing, bagging and handling specialist Agrimech celebrates 10 years serving the industry this year, and launched its first multihead weigher at the event. The Hydra has 10 distribution heads, all containing known weights of produce, and uses this information to fill sacks or boxes by combining the contents of several heads to achieve the target weight. “It’s intended for filling sacks or boxes with 12.5–25.0kg of produce,” explained Matthew Fielding. “Each bin contains 3–5kg and, by working out the best combination, accuracy within 2g is achievable.” The Hydra is the first British-made multi-head weigher and the unit displayed is already sold to a customer. General availability begins later this year with an approximate cost of £55,000. Pictured on the stand (l-r) are Darren and Belinda Smith, Matthew and Rebecca Fielding, and Jason Rudolph.

"We've run our tractors on the classic CabGuard™ and have never had an issue with the quality or robustness of the product, but have always been concerned of losing the guard to high speed travel on the roads that cover the Estate. As soon as I found out that APG had a new design in progress I was interested in what had been developed. Based on what was explained on the phone I liked the concept and asked the team at APG to put me first on the list. With the new CabGuard HighWay Plus™ fitted to our 18 plate Valtra T174, I immediately knew that this was a far superior product. The fact that after the first initial installation it would then just take seconds for an individual to remove and re-apply after cleaning.The fitting is clean, tidy and does not interfere with visibility from the tractor seat. All in all a good quality product, ensuring the tractor cab glass is protected from fast moving debris at all times.” James Brown, Farm Manager, South Pickenham Estates

LAMMA 2019 review
Gold medal for crop storage specialist
Silent irrigation and slurry pumps
Dr Gavin Lishman of crop storage specialist Martin Lishman Ltd explained why the company’s ImpacTrack had been awarded a Gold Medal at the event. “ImpacTrack monitors handling and transport of produce, enabling situations where damage is likely to be caused to be identified and eliminated,” he said. A logger unit – a cube the size of a thumb nail, constantly measures and records any shock loads and transmits data by Bluetooth to a smartphone where it is displayed on an app. The logger is fitted inside plastic reproductions of the produce being handled. “Using 3d printing allows us to replicate not only the shape and size of the fruit or vegetable, but also its precise density,” he explained. “This is important for accurate monitoring as unless the density is the same, it won’t move through the system and interact with other produce at a representative speed. Because the sensor units also log shock loads over time, they can be fitted discretely into trays or boxes, then checked periodically allowing the farmer to find out when rough handling occurred. It’s all about reducing waste.” Prices are for packages including several loggers and vary depending on the product type being checked. “Different fruits and other products require specific materials during the 3d printing process and production time varies. For a starter pack of loggers only, prices start at approximately £146 per logger, then the fruit or vegetable model cost varies by complexity,” he added.
Bauer displayed new silent irrigation and slurry pump sets. Pictured with a new irrigation pump are Bauer sales manager for the UK and Ireland Adrian Tindall (left) and after sales manager Rob Jackson. Previously the company’s slurry pumps were available with a standard canopy but now a range of options includes the fully enclosed version on the stand. A 175hp FPT engine drives an SX2000 pump, achieving flow volumes up to 250m3/hr @ 14 bar pressure. Options include standard, electric or belt-driven primers and controls range from a base key-start and manual throttle control, to full electronic remote control for one-man operation. The irrigation pump shown was fully enclosed within a trailer unit with a large fuel tank and the enclosed cabinet contained both the FPT engine and Caprari pump, whereas previous versions housed only the engine with the pump outside. Power options are 74, 93 or 125kW. A new priming system uses a water reservoir within the cabinet, filled while the pump is working, and the contents are released automatically into the suction line as soon as the pump starts. The pump unit is compatible with Bauer’s SmartRain system offering complete control from a smartphone or pc. “We have an excellent dealer network in the UK which gave us feedback that users wanted full soundproofing for sensitive areas, as well as fully automatic control,” explained Adrian. “We can offer customers a full range of options to suit their requirements now.” Inset: Priming is fully automatic using water stored in a dedicated tank.
Faster milking and improved udder health
Fan provides high output at lower RPM
JF Hudson is the UK distributor for a new type of milk cluster liner – Aktivpuls. During each resting phase of the milking process the vacuum on the teat end is released, reducing stress on the cow, improving udder health and increasing milk yield. Each liner has seven massage zones, allowing it to flex around the teat and providing a controlled teat end massage, whatever the teat length. A release nipple at the top of the liner releases the vacuum and resists blocking. Milking is claimed to be 8 per cent faster than using conventional liners, equivalent to an average time saving of 46 seconds per cow. The first set supplied in the UK was due to be installed during midJanuary, explained James Hudson (left), pictured with Aktivpuls CEO Filip Jamart.
A new fan was shown for the first time in the UK by Farm Electronics. The Revolutionair is manufactured by Tolsma-Grisnich and provides up to 7 per cent higher output than traditional fans, operating at 35 per cent lower rpm, while the design reduces noise levels by up to 36 per cent. Computer designed blade wings optimise More over page... airflow and the motor is integrated within the hub unit. Tolsma international sales manager Kees J Wingaarden is pictured with the new fan, which will be available in a range of sizes later this year.

Powershift option for award-winning tractors
...More on previous page Valtra A4 series tractors won the 2017 Farmers Guide Award for Excellence, and now a new powershift transmission option is added to the range, offering improved control. It’s available only on medium-chassis 104 and 114 models and is likely to appeal to smaller arable farms and particularly those carrying out a lot of loader work. Powershift-specified models can also be fitted with optional mechanical cab suspension improving ride quality. A joystick controls the powershift functions, replacing gear and range levers. Another option announced at the show for all A4-series tractors is a front linkage and PTO, available through Valtra’s Unlimited studio. Pictured with the latest Valtra are sales support manager for UK and Ireland Alan Sanderson (left) and Valtra product marketing specialist Marko Ojalehto.
Tyre personalisation option proves popular Trelleborg previewed its Yourtire tyre personalisation feature last year and, at Lamma, company representatives were promoting its availability. Yourtire allows company names or other text to be added to the tyre sidewall, and is proving popular with both contractors and owner-users. Text is added during manufacture and to personalise tyres the customer simply selects the required tyre on line, specifies the text to be added, saves the configuration and gives the reference code to his dealer to order. The cost is approximately five per cent of the basic tyre price. Also displayed on the stand was Connectire, which was shown last year but remains a concept under development. A transmitter within each wheel monitors tyre pressure and temperature and alerts the user if conditions exceed set parameters. Another new option, available now, is the Load Calculator Plus (TLC+) app. This is suitable for smartphones and allows users to constantly measure each tyre’s pressure through sensors within the valve caps. The company’s service includes Trelleborg specialists who visit users to calculate appropriate working pressures for each tractor and activity, and these are saved within the app. If pressures vary beyond pre-set parameters the user is alerted, helping prevent possible tyre damage and allowing optimum working performance. Trelleborg marketing manager Jon Hewitt is pictured on the stand. Behind him (and inset) – a tyre with Yourtire personalisation and nearer the camera a wheel with Connectire monitoring.
Tractor group displays new models The AgriArgo display included new tractors in the McCormick and Landini ranges as well as a ‘Pudsey Bear’ themed tractor, which will help raise funds this year for Children in Need. “Argo Tractors manufactured more than 22,000 tractors last year,” explained UK managing director Adrian Winnett. “Most transmissions including a CVT unit, are among the 75 per cent of components manufactured for the ranges in-house.” New Landini Stockman tractors with a choice of transmission packages were displayed. The Landini 5-series comprises 3 models from 99–113hp, and with synchro or power-shuttle transmissions available, with creeper range and economy PTO options, and a choice of mechanical or electronic linkage control. A 40kph Power Four synchro shuttle transmission is standard, providing 12 speeds in both directions, while adding the creeper option provides 24 speeds in both directions. The new tractors slot in between the 69–107hp 4-series and 110–126hp 6-series tractors from the manufacturer and are expected to appeal to those looking for a versatile model for field and yard work. The McCormick X7-4 is the latest addition to the X7 series, powered by a 4-cyl power unit and complements current 6-cyl versions. The X7.440 P6-Drive displayed was from a new 3-model lineup of high specification 4-cylinder tractors with maximum power outputs from 141–176hp with ‘power boost’ on all models and with powershift transmission. “Our stand at Lamma 2019 made a clear statement about how the McCormick range has developed into a thoroughly modern line-up of products supported by independent dealers who put customer service at the top of their priorities,” explained AgriArgo UK Ltd managing director Adrian Winnett.
Improved arm geometry for mower McConnel displayed a new side-arm mower at the show. Improved arm geometry, increased strength and additional head angling are all features of the 6.5m Tele-VFR arm set, allowing improved usability when cutting in close to the tractor, and achieving greater reach in all directions.

LAMMA 2019 review Strong interest in haulm toppers
Harrows for grassland rejuvenation New 3m grass harrows for grassland rejuvenation were displayed for the first time by Bullock Tillage, next to a set of Cambridge rolls also launched at the event by the company. The Grass 300 harrows have a front leveling board followed by 2 rows of 12mm tines, then a row of 8mm tines. All tines are manually adjustable and managing director Nigel Bullock said the front tines do most of the scarifying while the rear smaller tines level and cover the seed. A Guttler rear press with hydraulic adjustment consolidates, levels and controls the working depth. The price is £7,200 and the mounted seeder is optional, but expected to be specified for most machines at an additional £3,300. The seeder comes with a 200-litre seed tank distributing seed through 8 outlets. Two control boxes are standard including one mounted on the side of the seeder for ease of calibration. The in-cab box has a facility to vary seeding rate in 5 per cent increments. “Interest has been from farmers and contractors,” said Nigel, “although many farmers who enquired believe they can offset the cost of their investment by working for neighbours too.” The new Cambridge rolls are in working widths 4.6–12.0m, and the 6.2m set on the stand with a hydraulic leveling board cost £11,900. Pictured are Bullock Tillage partner Ross Pushman (left), with Nigel and his eldest daughter Georgie.
Scotts Precision reported a busy show, where interest in its haulm toppers continued following high numbers of enquiries at the autumn Midlands Machinery Show. “It’s mainly because of Reglone being banned,” explained managing director Derek Scott. “We have manufactured toppers for approximately 12 years, supplying just a few each season initially. We expect demand to exceed 20 units this year, and our machines are popular as they are ruggedly built, and we have beefed up the design to match increased tractor size in the industry. Only a few years ago 150–180hp was common, but now 250hp seems to be the average,” he added. “Wider working widths are needed and our 9-row uses a 3-row front unit combined with two 3-row units at the back. People are asking about 8-row models too – it’s definitely a growing market and one of the features which makes our machines so attractive is the replaceable steel liners. High wear rates are typical of the light land used to grow many potatoes and replacing our liners is cheap and easy, and extends the machine’s working life.” Pictured (l-r) are apprentice Casey Lambley, production coordinator Steve Harker, director Matt Shaw and Derek.

LAMMA 2019 review
Self-propelled liquid applicator
Latest VF technology tyres on show
PMC Harvesters Ltd used the event to display a new self-propelled liquid applicator, complementing dry material spreaders demonstrated last year. The PMC 4103 Liquid Nutrient Management System (LNMS) is a 3-wheeled, 16,000-litre tanker designed for slurry, digestate and other liquids. Power is from a Scania 5-cyl 400hp engine and at the rear, 3- or 4-post linkages allow a variety of application implements to be mounted, including dribble bars and strip-till incorporation machinery. “Travelling on 3 wheels allows a larger front wheel to be fitted, spreading the weight over an increased ground area for reduced compaction,” explained PMC sales account manager Steven Skipper. “We also have a 5-wheel version with a 21,000-litre tank and a more powerful 550hp 6-cylinder engine due to be available for demonstrations in March this year. Speed of operation and manoeuvrability are big attractions for professional users and the machine displayed at Lamma was exported to the USA to satisfy a customer order immediately after the show. “We don’t expect people to commit to large specialist machines such as these new tankers without being certain of compatibility with their systems and the performance available. Our demonstration campaign in March will allow potential users from all over the UK to give them a thorough test,” he added. Steven said he was pleased the company had committed to Lamma. “Like many other exhibitors we were concerned about the move to the NEC, but setting up and clearing our stand was a pleasure this year,” he explained. “We were busy throughout the first day and most of the second too, explaining features and benefits of our products to potential users. In the warm, dry environment it was easy to stand and talk about the machines for as long as the customer wanted and, as long as costs for future years remain reasonable, I hope the show proves a long-term success.”
Displayed by Kirkby Tyres was the latest BKT Agrimax V-Flecto 710/60R42 drive tyre with VF technology allowing it to operate at lower pressures, reducing compaction, even when carrying loads at speed. The V-Flector range was introduced last year and, as extra sizes are added, feedback from users including farmers and contractors is very positive, explained Kirkby business development manager John Parker (pictured with the tyre).
Hydraulic adjustment now available McHale triple mowers are now available with hydraulically adjustable overlap. Previously only manual adjustment could be made but convenient hydraulic adjustment from the cab will appeal to many users, and especially those needing to compensate for side slopes, enabling them to get maximum output from their mowers. Cost is approximately £1,500 extra. Area sales manager for southern England Jayson Luscombe is pictured on the stand with mowers equipped with the new feature.
New tractor models for smaller farms New from Deutz-Fahr at the show was the 5080D Keyline. This is a base-spec 80hp, and one of 4 new 5D Keyline models from 65–97hp, designed to provide a costeffective solution for smaller arable and livestock farms. The cab is standard, but a high visibility roof and air conditioning are options.
Successful event for cultivator firm Alpego UK managing director Warren RiversScott said his company had enjoyed a very successful event with interest across the range of products. A new disc cultivator option for the AS4 4m seed drill was shown for the first time, providing added flexibility during variable seasons. The Maratona discs can replace the power harrow at the front of the machine, allowing higher work rates and fuel savings when the brute force of a power-harrow isn’t needed.
Precision drill for small seeds Grimme launched a new precision air drill for small seeds at the show. Marketing manager Adam Johnson said the ProAir drill had created great interest from potential customers, allowing the business to offer a full machinery solution for growers of specialist vegetables, from planting to harvest. “It’s a great product, and it makes a lot of sense to add it to our line-up, complementing our Grimme and Asa-Lift range,” More over page... he said.

LAMMA 2019 review Strong interest in tri-fold boom
Precision partnership
...More on previous page
Berthoud received many enquiries for its new tri-fold boom which is due to be available this spring. The Axiale B3 wasn’t on the company stand, but deliveries are due to commence from March this year. “With the tri-folding design, the entire boom is within the length of the sprayer chassis, with no front overhang,” explained Berthoud UK sales manager Martin Shackcloth. “We have had an excellent show, with enquiries for products across our range from the smallest mounted sprayers to the largest self-propelled, so expect the next few months to be busy.” Pictured on the company’s stand (l-r) are Andy Gemmill, Richard Bartles, Anthony Williams, Andrew Howlett, Lesley Olive, Richard Dix, Francois Xavier Janin and Martin Shackcloth.
Gold award for tyre company A Gold, Driven Innovations Award was won by Apollo Vredestein for its Traxion Optimall premium range of high horsepower tractor tyres. The tyres feature VF technology protecting soils while providing high traction, aiding fuel efficiency and maximising productivity. They were launched late in 2017 and now 10 sizes are available. “Their ability to keep tread clean across our range of soil types from light sand to heavy clay is fantastic,” confirmed farmer Nick Huddlestone of Debdhill Farm, near Doncaster. “We have two sets of 710/75R42s and can run them at just 8psi with our 3.5m Sumo Trio stubble cultivator behind our tractor. They are great on the road too, and can travel to and from the field up to 60kph. We had one set fitted to replace another premium brand on our Fendt 939, and were so impressed that when our new 400hp Massey Ferguson 8740 was delivered on another brand, we immediately had them changed to the Vredesteins too. One thing we really notice about the Optimall tyres is that on the road the tractor always feels sure-footed and stable, even at high speeds with the inflation pressures set low, whereas on our previous tyres the tractor could sway, making it feel less secure.” Pictured (l-r) are Nick’s son Matt Huddlestone, Apollo Vredestein OHT specialist Jon Cottrell, Apollo Vredestein regional sales manager John Cowderoy and Nick.
Precision farming specialist and Trimble reseller, AS Communications (UK) Ltd used the show to announce its accreditation as a Vantage partner with Trimble Agriculture. From the start of 2019 the company will operate as Vantage England & Wales. Trimble Vantage enables customers to recognise dealers with expertise in all aspects of precision farming and data handling, from basic GPS guidance to making the most of system-generated farm management data and is seen as a single source for all aspects of precision farming hardware and software by its customers. Pictured are Vantage England & Wales general manager David Bowman and Trimble Agriculture regional sales manager looking after the UK, Severine Brisset.
Innovation award for sprayer manufacturer StrictSpray plus attracted interest on the Agrifac stand. This maintains an accurate application rate along the length of the boom regardless of the relative ground speed of each nozzle during turns, where the inner nozzles in effect ‘slow down’. To reduce the flow rate, nozzles can pulse up to 100 times per second, which allows the optimal working pressure of each nozzle to be maintained. “There is growing interest in all our latest innovations as professional farmers are trying to optimise spray application for maximum efficacy and to benefit the environments and save costs,” explained Agrifac UK aftersales manager Matt Carse. “We were delighted to receive the Lamma Innovation Award for our AIC Plus feature, which uses cameras and a control system capable of self learning to recognise weeds, and select them for treatment.” Pictured on the Agrifac stand (l-r) are Chris Potter, Matt Carse, Georgina Garner, Jarno Habing, Steven Koop, Andy Carse, Matt Smith, Jake Blanshard and Julian Arrowsmith.

When it comes to getting the machinery out of the barn each season for setting up, I often call Steve and he talks me though it, rather than me having to go through the book each time!”
Factory expansion celebrated
Local grower
To mark the opening of a new factory at the end of last year, soil separation and potato machinery specialist ScanStone hosted a two-night event at its Angus base with customers from around the world. Farmers were brought in by coach and plane to enjoy dinner, traditional Highland dancing, live music, factory tours and a comedian. Greg Goulding reports. Since its launch in 2005 ScanStone has seen rapid growth. Early stone and clod separators were assembled in a potato store that Gordon Skea had converted to a factory, and, following the success of the early machines, the company launched the shearbolt and auto-reset Bedmaker range with 1-, 2- or 3-bed forming options. An increase in sales locally, nationally and overseas led the business to expand the factory; doubling its size in 2013 to allow for the increased demand for machines, servicing and spares. Gordon’s children also joined the team; William Skea, whose background is in the military, worked within sales initially and has recently taken over the running of the factory, while daughter Alison, who has an agricultural engineering degree from Harper Adams and has worked for
Claas in Germany, France and Suffolk, is in charge of exports. This fresh impetus into the business has seen it grow, with increased exports to countries including France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and South Africa. And so in 2018, the factory was expanded again by a further 50 per cent; the extra space to allow for William’s plan of substantially increasing the efficiency of the factory – speeding up production, as well as keeping an organised and fully stocked spare parts department with the help of new computer systems. In 2018 the company appointed new dealers in Yorkshire, Cornwall and Ireland, as well as setting up a new premises in East Anglia. In addition, ScanStone itself was appointed as Tong’s approved dealer for Scotland. Furthermore, a new Patriot potato harvester was launched in

2016 to compete directly with larger manufacturers in the industry.
Investment Attending the event in December was Howard Dyson who farms 160ha of wheat, barley and potatoes, as well as some beef cattle. Following good potato yields and prices last season, Mr Dyson has invested in his potato enterprise with a new ScanStone harvester. Having originally been a long-term customer of Reekie, and looked after by sales
Describing himself as a loyal customer of ScanStone, Allan Morrison is a local potato and daffodil grower who has operated several items of the company’s equipment over the years. Growing around 1,000ha of potatoes and daffodils, as well as some cereals, the farm uses stone separators and bed tillers to prepare the ground. Allan said: “We have bought machinery from ScanStone for the build quality, spare parts and fair pricing. “On one occasion there was an issue with a bearing mid-way through using one of the machines and, with narrow weather windows, we can’t afford not to get out on the field when the time is right. We called ScanStone at 3pm that day and the company had the machine fixed and back on the field that evening,” he pointed out. ■

Successful brand change for Norfolk contractor Frequent reliability issues affecting his previous tractor brand caused Norfolk contractor David Reynolds to try his first Fendt. Now he runs two, and is certain he won’t need to look anywhere else in future. David Williams reports. David and his son Alan offer a contracting service to industrial businesses and farms close to their Attleborough base in Norfolk. Trading as DNA Reynolds Services Ltd the business specialises in transporting and applying slurry and waste liquids, but also offers grass mowing and general cultivations as well as transport of soil and rubble. David started the liquid waste handling business after he gave up pig farming. “Having dealt with slurry for many years it was an obvious service to offer and I had the equipment and experience to transport and apply liquids efficiently and safely,” he explained. “I kept costs down by operating locally and rented land to apply the waste within the local area.” Because the liquid waste is transported by road and applied to fields throughout the year, powerful
tractors were needed, capable of towing the heavy tankers safely. They also had to be capable of handling heavy draft implements. Where ruts were created a plough and heavy subsoilers were used to rectify damage, leaving the land fit for cropping. “Being able to rent land for application depends on us leaving it in excellent condition after we have travelled on it, and if we leave it compacted and rutted then the owner is unlikely to rent to us again. We designed our own subsoilers and cultivators to repair subsoil where necessary and have an excellent relationship with farmers in the area,” he said.
Professional service When he started his business, David considered which tractors might suit him and spoke with other users, then tried several and was impressed by one
in particular. “I got on very well with it and bought nine similar over the years, eight from one local dealer. We need about 300hp for the 5,000-gallon tankers and the subsoilers, but it’s not just about pulling the load – we need to know we can stop safely too,” he explained, “so when we started suffering repeated braking issues despite our tanker running gear being checked and serviced every three months, we had to look elsewhere.” Alan joined the family business in 2015, having worked for several years for an agricultural contractor who was heavily involved in maize growing and harvesting. “I was driving Fendt 936s, and was impressed from the start by their performance, comfort and reliability,” he said. “When I came home I tried to persuade my father to change to Fendt but the higher purchase cost was considered an issue so an additional tractor of the brand he used was purchased, equipped with a second 5,000-gallon tanker, and the business grew.” Most liquid handled and applied is non-hazardous but, even so, strict licensing rules apply. “When Dad started the business things were far more relaxed but now training and certification requirements are quite complex so waste liquid handling has become a specialist activity,” commented Alan. “Building the business not only required investment in the new tractor and tanker, but also in full training and certification so that companies whose waste we handle and the farmers who rent us the land for application know everything is done properly and that we are fully accountable,” he added.
Ideal replacement The Fendt 828 Vario was chosen to complement the larger 930 Vario, but David said that, in time, it will be replaced by another 900-series model as it has proved just as nimble on the road.
With the local dealer and manufacturer unable to resolve the repeated braking problems which now affected both
tractors, David and Alan became concerned about road safety and demonstration tractors were borrowed from dealers in the area to identify a suitable replacement, including a Fendt 828 from local dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS). “I always considered the previous tractors ideal for draft work,” commented David, “but had to admit that the Fendt was even better and its braking performance on the road was excellent. None of the other tractors we tested came close for comfort or ease of use.” Local area sales manager for TNS based at the Attleborough depot, Jolly Bullen, loaned the demonstration tractor and came up with an acceptable deal to supply a new Fendt 930 Vario to the contractors. “Fendt tractors have an excellent reputation for reliability and efficiency and I knew that David and Alan would be impressed by the levels of performance and comfort,” he explained. A Fendt 930 Vario was ordered and delivered in early September 2017. “We both really liked it, so much so that rather than spreading the work between the 2 tractors the Fendt did almost all of it,” said Alan. “We tend to average approximately 1,200–1,500hrs worked per year on each tractor, but the 930 has already clocked up more than 2,000 hours just 15 months after delivery. We usually update tractors every 3 years, although that changed to every 2 more recently because of the braking issues. A second Fendt was ordered last year and delivered in early September, exactly a year after the first. “I wanted something slightly smaller and lighter so bought an 828 Vario, which we felt would complement the 930,” explained David. “It’s been excellent but with hindsight I wish we had bought a second 930 as it is just as easy to drive on the road, gives a

Alan Reynolds, pictured in the 828’s cab, says the level of comfort and ease of use is unbeatable. The larger Fendt 930 Vario has an exhaust brake which he says is a big advantage when towing the 5,000-gallon NC tankers.
smoother ride and carries out lighter tasks just as well. It doesn’t feel like a large tractor.” The 930 is a ProfiPlus with VarioGuide GPS guidance and automatic steering and the 828 is a more basic Profi version, but was specified with front linkage and PTO for mowing. Both were purchased with 3-year, 3,000-hour warranties and fixed price service plans allowing accurate cost budgeting. The Fendts have been reliable with only minor teething problems quickly dealt with by the TNS Attleborough service team. “Phillip Goss in the workshop is excellent, and our first point of contact although no matter who we speak with they are all very helpful,” complimented David. Asked about fuel consumption, David said this isn’t precisely monitored, but isn’t an issue as the tractors work hard. “The fuel they use matches the work we ask them to do, so we are happy with it,” he said.
a rear razor roll, or a Cousins V-Form 5-leg subsoiler also fitted with a rear razor roll. The razor roll was selected in preference to a standard rear press which was found to bulldoze soil ahead of it when working in especially dry conditions on some of the light, sandy soils which dominate farms locally. Other cultivation equipment includes Maschio 3m discs, two 6m heavy-duty spring tine cultivators and a 6m chisel plough. “We used to plough everywhere, but this was sometimes an issue with the wide tyres used to reduce compaction. Using subsoilers we can leave the soil looser if required, adjust the discs to level the surface and use the rear press to consolidate when needed, and landowners tend to be pleased with the way fields are left.”
Suitably equipped
No regrets
The company sometimes applies digestate from a local AD plant with a higher nitrogen content requiring more precise application. “Everything is weighed in and out so we know exactly how much liquid is applied and at what rate,” said Alan. “The Fendt 930 with its GPS guidance is used whenever possible to ensure optimal bout matching and the CVT transmission means we can precisely achieve any travel speed needed for the required application rate.” Most slurry is spread on the surface as it is non-hazardous, but an injector can operate at the rear of the tanker when required. Cultivations are carried out using a Cousins Patriot 5-leg subsoiler with two sets of discs and
“We are very pleased with our decision to move to Fendt tractors and with the support from Jolly and the TNS Attleborough team so far,” added David. “The comfort and ride is excellent, controls are simple and easy to use after just a short while getting used to them, and they feel safe and secure on the road. “They cost a little more than other brands we looked at, but I think you get what you pay for and I can’t fault them. We hope that when it’s time to update them they will have held their value well, making the ownership and running costs reasonable. We certainly don’t intend looking at any other brands or dealers when we change next time,” he concluded. ■

Tractor updates
Comfort, efficiency and a growing market share
Recent Claas tractor range updates boost productivity and, more importantly, improve the operator experience too. David Williams tried them out. Continued investment in research and development has seen the tractor range expand and improve, and feedback from dealers and users regarding the latest models provides a powerful marketing message – that it only takes a short time in the seat to be impressed by the levels of equipment and comfort. The message from owners is equally positive – confirming great reliability and performance, with back up second-to-none through the Claas dealer network. With sales growing through increasing new and repeat business, Claas UK has restructured its tractor team, ensuring dealers and users receive best possible support. Heading up the division is tractor brand manager Steffan Kurtz. “Our objective is to increase support across the UK, ensuring specialists are available to assist with installations of new product, and to optimise performance,” he explained. Replacing Steffan in his previous role as product manager tractors and telehandlers is Michael Ives, formerly from Claas parts technical.
Regional tractor support specialists include David Thornton – looking after Ireland; Gethin Thomas – responsible for western areas and Eleazar McKeever – looking after the north. “Appointing regional specialists will provide best possible back up for potential and existing users,” explained Steffan. “We have a tractor range with models and variants to suit all user types now, and our team will back up the dealers to ensure customers get the best from our products.” Recent tractor range updates include opening up factory-fitted steering systems for use with third-party software. “Few farms or contracting operations use only one brand of machine, and where GPS guidance is already in use, this update will allow Claas tractors to be more easily integrated within the fleet,” explained Steffan.
Mid-spec appeal Another major update to the Claas Axion and Arion line-ups has been the addition of a CIS+ model. “Previously customers could choose between base CIS specification and fully-equipped Cebis,” he continued. “But there is growing demand for CIS+, available for Axion 800 and 900, and Arion 500 and 600 models, which provides users with benefits including electronic spool valves, but without the top-end features of the Cebis version. Hexashift Powershift transmission is standard, with control by joystick, but an optional upgrade is CMatic CVT. The new model has Claas cab comfort is excellent. Noise levels are low, there is little vibration and controls are well laid out and all within easy reach. The curved rear window is unique, providing a superb view of the implement and during manoeuvring.
The Axion 830 tested was the latest Cebis model, with Hexashift transmission operated through the CMotion joystick. The standard 12in Cebis colour display was used to monitor and adjust performance and settings, and the optional S10 display terminal provided GPS guidance and auto-steer. A Lemken front press and rear power harrow working straight into stubble provided a good test of the tractor and its controls. Position control for the front linkage can be set, which proved an advantage for the front press.
proved successful and CIS+ models outsold CIS and Cebis versions in 2018.”
Axion 900 The Axion 900-series forms the conventional tractor flagship range and the new 960 model with up to 445hp is the latest addition. The previous most powerful Axion 950 is popular with users, but recent updates include a new engine crankcase, with space for a tighter steering angle. “We now offer one of the most powerful conventional tractors, but with a turning radius as tight as a typical 300hp machine and that’s a big benefit for fieldwork saving time at the headland, and for transport,” he added. “Customers asked for improved manoeuvrability and this makes the Axion 900 one of the best in its class.” With the new 960 flagship delivering extra power and torque, a new Dana front axle is fitted across the 900-series. Steffan pointed out that a strength of the Axion range’s design is equal weight distribution between the wheels. The cab is well forward and there is little front or rear overhang, so with an implement on the rear linkage, only a small amount of front ballast is needed to counteract the 60/40 weight distribution and prevent wheelslip.
A new rear wheel weight design includes staggered fixings between the individual ring blocks making it easy to add or remove as many as required, leaving the rest in place. “Where a tractor might be corn carting or drilling one day, and performing heavy cultivations the next, the ease and safety with which the weights are added and removed in just a few minutes will be a big attraction,” confirmed Steffan. Operator convenience is improved with external battery terminals, and there is a slide-out cantilever toolbox and an air line socket behind the steps. A new after-market option is on-board tyre inflation allowing pressures to be optimised for the task, in any location. On 900/42 tyres the Axion 900 is just 3m wide, ensuring appeal for contractors where travel along narrow roads is required. Rear hydraulic lift capacity is the same as for earlier models but now either Cat 3 or Cat 4 linkage hooks can be fitted. Transmission drive to the PTO is highly efficient, confirmed by dynamometer tests showing 403hp available from the 405hp 950. Improved lighting includes LED options across the range. continued over...

Brand competition Demand for precise task information has meant Telematics on Implement (TONI), EASY precision farming systems and tractor telematics are increasingly in demand. “Our customers run complex businesses and require accurate data regarding time and fuel use to monitor costs for the operation,” commented Steffan. “We have fitted telematics for many years on Jaguar forage harvesters and combines, so offering it for tractors is a natural progression. Immediate access to accurate data makes it easier to run an efficient and profitable operation and it has been noticeable that we receive more enquiries from larger farms and contractors and can compete for their business with other premium brands.”
High-end display The latest 12in Cebis touchscreen is available for models from the Arion 500 to Axion 900-series tractors, and also appeared on the latest Tucano combines when models were updated in 2018, providing additional automation. Ease of use and a crystal clear image make it very user-friendly. A simple menu is initiated by touching a ‘bar’ at the top of the screen and field or road modes can be selected. Road mode provides a dashboardlike display and in field mode all 10 function buttons are programmable within just a few seconds, an improvement on the previous screen through which function key

programming meant scrolling through all the options to select the required system. Improved hydraulic control includes setting any spool as the priority, simply by touching the star bedside it on the set-up screen. This makes it easy to ensure a drill fan, for example, maintains a constant speed regardless of oil demand from other hydraulic services. Further function options include the ability to set which spool is activated from the external control buttons, with a clear indication of the circuit selected displayed on the screen. Any hydraulic function can be temporarily locked against accidental use by simply touching a padlock icon. Front and rear hydraulic lift arm positions are also indicated.
Transport mode (left) displays a ‘dashboard’ image. Optimising settings for fieldwork is simple with logical menus and a choice of touch control, a rotary knob for use on bumpy ground, or a combination of both.

Arion updates Front-end capacity on 500- and 600-series tractors is upgraded by 500kg through a change of axle. The previous Carraro version is replaced by a Dana unit, which automatically compensates for load by maintaining a central floating position, ensuring full suspension travel is always available. Front linkage options now include 3 or 4t lift capacity and a free-flow hydraulic return is standard where front spools are fitted. Externally the diesel tank looks similar to previous models, but on the latest tractors capacity is increased by approximately 40 litres, providing 370 litres of usable diesel. Access to the Adblue tank is improved, behind the steps.
Previously only a 5-pillar cab was available but now users can specify 4- or 5-pillar versions; the 4-pillar offering better side vision for mowing and hedgecutting. On 42in tyres, Arion 600-series tractors are only 1.95m wide, and Michael comments that the compact and lightweight Arion 660 flagship with 205hp, CVT transmission, and on 42in tyres is an especially attractive proposition for top work, while transport power boost improves performance at speed with heavy trailers. Full LED lighting options can be specified for all 500- and 600-series tractors increasing their popularity with those working long days. All models from the Arion 400-series up have air brakes, with a condenser as standard. An improvement requested by users of earlier Arions was a better view of the rear hitch from the cab. A new hydraulic service layout reduces obstructions. Also requested was a larger builtin toolbox. Located behind steps on the right side, the latest version is also lockable. Routine maintenance is reduced, mainly by fitting the new Dana axle with just 4 grease points where the previous Carraro version had more than 20.
CIS+ CIS+ specification adds features requested by mixed and arable farms without the premium specification and price of the top Cebis. Upgrades over base CIS specification include a 7in colour display on the cab pillar controlled from a rotary selector on the dashboard. The standard S7 screen provides cost-effective guidance and control of non-Isobus functions. Electric spools are standard, replacing mechanical levers. continued over... 63094

Transmission set-up and monitoring through the display includes a view of all three virtual speed ranges, allowing easy changes just by touching the screen, and the throttle response can also be regulated by setting maximum speeds for each range with the foot pedal fully depressed. Screen customisation options include selecting which data is displayed in each viewing mode. Touch-screens are notoriously difficult to use on bumpy ground, so the Claas also allows menus to be scrolled and functions to be activated by a mechanical twist button. A handy feature is quick access to the last function activated. This is highlighted at the base of the screen and can be opened again for adjustment with one touch of a button. Two engine speed memories can be set, and are displayed for immediate recall at the base of the screen. “Clever features such as the ease with which hydraulic functions can be allocated to the various control buttons are frequently complimented by customers,” observed Michael.

The Arion cab is quiet and comfortable. An optional S10 display looked after GPS guidance and autosteer, and proved very easy to use. The turn-in feature is especially useful for working with a trailed drill or dribble bar where the minimum turning radius can be set, and the system plans and executes the optimum path. The Arion 650 CIS+ was working with a Horsch Terrano 3m cultivator. There was plenty of power and the Hexashift 24x24 transmission was always smooth, including under full load. ...from previous page
Three rear valves are standard, with the option to add one more at the rear, and mid-mounted valves are also an option. An Electro-pilot joystick is standard and ideal for loader control, but can also operate the mid and rear spools. There are four programmable function buttons used to select which button operates which valve and for how long. For advanced guidance and other precision farming applications, the Claas S10 display can be added, including two Isobus inputs. The S10 also adds headland management functions including implement control, and full automatic turn in which calculates the optimal route based on the minimum turning radius and space available. The CIS+ cab appears simpler and

ready now from the factory making it easy to swap hardware between tractors. The controller and screen are in the cab with only the antenna outside, making it far cheaper to replace if it is damaged or stolen.
Larger CIS+
Growing market share
Axion 800 models have also gained improvements likely to increase their popularity with users. Rear visibility is improved by relocating the hydraulic services onto new mounting brackets. Within the 6-model Axion 800-series, 4 CIS+ models up to the 850 are available with Hexashift 24x24 transmission, or optional CMatic CVT, whereas the 870 is available with CMatic CVT only and also features extra power for transport. Up to 5 rear hydraulic valves and 2 mid mounts coupled with 110- or 150-litres/min hydraulic pumps can be specified. All Axion 900s come autosteer-
“We have a superb tractor line-up with specifications to suit all types of agricultural business including the most demanding applications,” concluded Steffan. “In recent years we have seen our market share grow as the product
is more in demand and from our range in 2018, the Arion CIS+ and Arion 420 and 430 make up the three most popular models. Axion 830 CMatic and 850 CMatic are the most popular larger models, closely followed by the 810 with Hexashift transmission. Reliability, comfort and our great dealer network guarantee minimum downtime. “Feedback regarding ride quality suggests cab comfort is the best of any brand, and efficient cab suspension and the 50/50 weight distribution are key factors,” he concluded. ■
Sound levels are low and visibility all around is excellent. The standard CIS+ cab pillar display allows the operator to keep an eye on performance while maintaining a view to the front. Setting two engine speeds in the memory makes it easy to slow down for headland turns with an immediate return to previous working speed.

Celebrating success of drain jetting business The increasing popularity of regular drain jetting has contributed to the continued success of retailer Fentons of Bourne. The company recently celebrated 30 years in business and has been UK importer of the Homburg range of drain jetters for more than 25 years. At the Midlands Machinery Show in November Fentons handed over another Homburg to longstanding customers Andrew and Samantha Kirman of Kirman Agricultural Services. Glen Bellamy, owner of Fentons said that 2018 was a fantastic year for Homburg Sales with machines being sold all over the UK. “It’s a pleasure to be able to supply yet another Homburg to Andrew and Samantha Kirman as an addition to their current machines.” Andrew said that it was the third machine purchased through Fentons. “The Homburg HDD model is a far superior machine to any others on the market and we have a tracking facility for it, which allows us to pinpoint exactly to our customers, where drains require attention. “The benefits of land drain jetting are that the farmer or land owner is not outlaying large sums of cash on new land drainage, it improves crop yields and soil structure.” ■
500th machine heads across the pond Potato handling equipment manufacturer Scotts Precision Manufacturing is celebrating selling its 500th Evolution Separator. The company, which began manufacturing the Evolution in 2005, took the order earlier this month from Safe-T-Pull Inc which is based in North Dakota and manufactures the Crop Shuttle range of crop carts. Scotts expects the latest Evolution to arrive in North America in January, once it has been customised to Safe-TPull Inc’s requirements. “The Evolution Separator uses patented rollers to ensure that clod, dirt, stones, haulm, vines and loose soils are separated in a way that
doesn’t damage the crop,” says Scotts’ managing director, Derek Scott. “This latest machine will be used with potatoes, but the Evolution is equally suitable for handling other produce, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, bell peppers and alliums. “One of the Evolution’s unique selling points is its vast range of customisable options. No two Evolutions are the same. “The 500th machine is bespoke to Safe-T-Pull as they’ve asked us to increase the clearance height above the cleaning roller as they will be putting an incredible amount of potatoes through it in a short space of time.”

In September last year, Scotts announced three updates to its 2019 Evolution adding programmable memory roller settings, self-cleaning and new gentle rollers specifically for salad produce. ■

Vehicles
Cutting-edge farm mover The Isuzu D-Max Blade is smart, comfortable and practical. Flagship Blade specification includes heated leather seats, a large 9in touchscreen and a host of other useful features.
Isuzu’s D-Max pick-ups have become a frequent sight on UK farms, appealing for their competitive price and functionality. David Williams tried the latest version. Visit any dealer open day or farm sale and Isuzu pick-ups will feature heavily in the visiting vehicle line-ups. In many areas the D-Max is supplied and supported by main brand machinery dealers, making the purchase process easy and providing reassurance regarding back-up. For the Farmers Guide week-long test drive, the latest top specification D-Max Blade 4x4 Automatic was put through its paces during 500 miles of on and off-road driving, from lengthy motorway journeys to rough farm woodland tracks. The Blade gains styling and comfort upgrades over the base Utility plus Eiger, Fury, Yukon and Utah variants, also adding more than £9,000 over the entry-level version. All D-Max models share the same 1.9-litre diesel engine, producing 164hp and 360Nm of torque between 2,000–2,500rpm. There is a choice of single, extended or double cab accommodation and manual or automatic transmission. Only the base Utility model is available with 2wd; all the others with selectable 2wd or 4wd and high and low range as standard.
Great performance Performance on the road is good with plenty of power to keep up with other traffic even when loaded, and the D-Max cruises comfortably at 70mph. Gear changes from the 6-speed automatic transmission are smooth and barely noticeable unless accelerating hard. The test drive included operation on minor and major roads as well as farm tracks and fuel consumption averaged 32– 37mpg, but would probably improve as the vehicle loosens up as it had covered only 1,000 miles on arrival. The Blade’s heated leather seats are comfortable with plenty of
manual adjustment and ample legroom for taller drivers. Controls are well laid out and meaty enough to use with gloved hands. The dashboard has large, clear dials and a highlight for Blade drivers is a huge 9in touchscreen which would be at home in a high specification tractor. It’s used for navigation, media and telephone as well as the reversing camera and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, allowing a copy of a smartphone screen to be displayed and control functions to be duplicated. Compared with other displays the Isuzu’s is particularly easy to use and a significant benefit for Blade drivers. Visibility is very good all around and large mirrors, which fold in at the touch of a button, make it easy to keep an eye on tight gateways and shed doors. The Blade supplied had an optional LED light bar below the radiator grille which provided the best main beam performance of any pickup or 4x4 tested to date. By contrast the dipped beam performance was poor, an issue highlighted by the LEDassisted main beam. Convenience features include plenty of storage for larger items in the double glove box and centre console with additional space for smaller items in the front door pockets and elsewhere on the dashboard. There is little storage for rear seat passengers, but the seat base hinges upward to accommodate bulkier items. Getting in and out of the pick-up in the dark is made easier by bright puddle lights, which project the word Blade onto the ground.
Versatile load carrying Load carrying capacity is superb, and the functional double-skinned
1.48m long load bed can take more than 1.1t. The test vehicle had a locking load bed roller cover which was rugged and practical, but partly restricted access as the roller housing takes up useful bed length at the front. There are only two accessible internal tie-down points, both at the rear. The tailgate is strong enough to rest loads without fear of buckling or hinge failure. The test vehicle had no tow bar so towing performance couldn’t be assessed, but the D-Max is rated at 3.5t, making it ideal for livestock trailers. Off-road there is plenty of ground clearance and the 255/60R18 wheels and tyres gripped well, steering easily in and out of deep ruts. Low range wasn’t needed but, like 4wd, is selected by a twist dial near the gear range selector. Ride comfort is good, even when unladen, despite the heavy-duty rear springs which provide the impressive load carrying capacity. There is little body roll on corners and at high speeds the ride is comfortable, assisted by the large tyres and decent seats. Steep North Yorkshire slopes gave the Hill Descent Control feature a fair test, and when the brake pedal was pressed gently to prevent speed increasing, the system could be felt
The load bed carries up to 1,111kg and is well designed with great access through the wide tailgate. Included within the price are either a load bed canopy or locking roller cover.
taking over, controlling the speed while the slope angle altered and allowing the driver to concentrate on the road and other traffic. Routine maintenance is easily carried out and apart from checking the engine oil and filling the windscreen wash there is little needs doing. The engine meets the latest emission regulations without Adblue which means only diesel is required, but a downside is that regular regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is needed. This occurs automatically and a monitor within the trip computer displays filter state and regeneration progress. For the most part the D-Max has become known for superb reliability, but a 5-year, 125,000-mile warranty provides confidence, and 5-years’ UK and EU roadside assistance is standard.
Hard to beat The D-Max is a highly competent farm pick-up and hard to beat for transporting people and materials. Lower spec versions offer everything needed for occasional use and shorter journeys but the flagship Blade version provides greater comfort and additional features which will be welcomed by those spending more hours in the seats. The Blade looks smart too, and is just as comfortable transporting the family to a wedding reception as it is at the local livestock market. At £29,800 before discounts are negotiated the Blade isn’t cheap but the generous and useful specification should help maintain resale values and reduce ownership costs. In our view it’s well worth a look. ■

Ideal timing for tractor win The North Yorkshire winners of a Case IH Luxxum tractor and loader handed back their prize in late November as the 6-month loan period came to an end. David Williams reports. Glasshouses, Northallerton-based JS Walton & Co entered the Farmers Guide and Case IH competition to win six months’ use of the tractor in early spring, just as warmer weather replaced many months of hard frosts and snow on the dairy, beef and sheep farm. The 107hp Luxxum 110 equipped with a Case IH LRZ120 self-leveling loader has proved a useful addition to the farm’s own single brand 4-tractor fleet which includes models from 45–105hp. An 80hp tractor carries out loader work between the farm’s 3 sites although most handling on the 80-cow dairy unit is performed by a modern telescopic handler. “We have received Farmers Guide for almost seven years and it’s one of the few magazines we look out for each month,” explained farmer Daniel Walton. “We noticed the competition to win the use of the tractor and I suggested to my nephew Will Bradley
that he enter on our behalf. However, we never thought we would win it so the completed form was left on a shelf, but noticed just in time by my mother who posted it.”
Dairy, beef and sheep The family’s main farm base is at Stock Plains Farm, Glasshouses where Daniel farms with his father John, nephew Will - who also works on a nearby farm and is a student at Askham Bryan College, and Will’s father David whose main responsibility is the sheep and who also works at another farm locally. The land has been owned by the Waltons for more than 60 years and now livestock are kept at 3 sites; 2 owned and one rented. The dairy and 30ha grazing for an 80-head herd of mainly Holstein cattle with a few crosses is at Stock Plains Farm, where average rainfall totals 40 inches, ensuring plenty of grass. Calves are kept and reared through to stores including Holstein crosses, Blue and Aberdeen Angus and sold through Otley Wharfedale and Pateley Bridge markets. Controls were well laid out and all within easy reach of the operator. Twin engine speed controls allow minimum and maximum operating revs to be set. The joystick was preferred for direction changes rather than the steering columnmounted hand shuttle lever.

The Luxxum applied most of the slurry this year through the farm’s 1,500-gallon tanker.
The 260-ewe sheep flock is mainly Texel Mule crosses with some Suffolks and a separate small flock of pure Texels is also kept, with grazing across the farm’s sites up to 20 miles from the base.
Weather challenges At the time of the Luxxum’s delivery in early May, Daniel commented that the hard winter had placed heavy demand on feed and bedding stocks and that he was looking forward to the easier summer months. However, the severe drought affecting most of the UK last summer took its toll on the usually reliable Glasshouses rainfall and by August, as grass growth slowed, the decision to supplement field grazing using this winter’s silage had to be taken and the Luxxum proved a useful addition to the fleet delivering round bales to the field while the telescopic
handler remained on yard duties. The decision to feed the silage early proved successful and milk yields held up well, although limited feed stocks for this winter have meant harsher than normal decision-making regarding any cows not in calf as autumn progressed.
All-round use The Luxxum performed a wide variety of tasks since its arrival, from general yard loader work including stone flooring for a new barn, slurry spreading with the farm’s 1,500-gallon tanker, manure application through a 12t manure spreader, silage mowing and tedding, loading and carting 800– 850 silage, and 250 straw bales from the fields, and other general transport work where the 40kph transmission proved useful. In the yard, excellent visibility won consistent praise from users, including

through the rear window down to the hydraulic push-out hitch when backing up to trailers. Large mirrors were described as excellent, but care was needed to avoid catching them on hedges. Lack of manoeuvrability when working in tight spaces was a criticism attributed to the large tyres fitted initially, but once the steering angle stops had been adjusted correctly the turning circle improved dramatically, making it much more user-friendly. The Luxxum came with electrohydraulic joystick loader control and, with the hydraulic flow rate set to match the application, this proved easy to use providing rapid cycle times. “The loader supplied was larger than we usually require and its long arms meant a rear counter-balance weight was needed,” explained Daniel. “It was very efficient though and visibility to the attachment was quite good.” The cab layout and glass area was complimented, making the compact cab feel light and spacious. “It’s well designed and feels bigger than it really is and the space available and comfort level is good for such a small tractor,” commented Will. “The cab suspension works well and on the road at higher speeds it’s far less bouncy than other tractors I’ve used, despite the short wheelbase.”
Access through the left hand door was good, but controls restricted on the right side. Opening side windows drew compliments from all users, improving comfort in the field and allowing users to hear what was happening around them in the yard. Cab noise levels proved impressively low at all speeds, making it less tiring to use than the farm’s other tractors.
Capable specification The Luxxum had a higher equipment level than Daniel had expected and he said that although everything could be programmed to suit a task, simpler controls would have been adequate and taken less time to get used to. “I found the power shuttle lever to the left of the steering column easy to use but, because the direction control can also be operated from the joystick, the shuttle lever always returns to the central position. On our other tractors a glance at the lever tells the operator if forward or reverse is selected before moving away, but there is no way of knowing on the Luxxum unless one looks at the dashboard indicator.” Controls were described as well laid out and logically positioned, and all within easy reach. “One thing which would have helped at times is more colour coding of the selector switches,” observed Daniel. “For example the 4wd selector button is black, the same as buttons around it. It’s well positioned but when it’s needed quickly such as when travelling down a steep slope it would be useful to be able to identify it at a glance without needing to read a label.” Automatic gear matching is also
included on the Luxxum, but wasn’t used. “I can see the advantage for preselecting different gears for forward and reverse for headland turns in the field,” said Daniel, “but for our use where most shunting is in the yard, I preferred selecting the ratio needed myself each time.” The Luxxum’s fuel economy impressed all of its users, compared with the farm’s other tractors. “From when it arrived we were surprised how little fuel was used whether it was working hard during a task like manure spreading or for lighter yard duties,” remarked Daniel. “Adblue consumption was fairly constant and increased slightly when working hard, but wasn’t an issue.” Will agreed; “I did most of the grass tedding and selected economy PTO mode allowing lower engine revs which helped reduce fuel consumption, but during transport work too it used very little diesel.”
Daniel said winning the use of the tractor came at a good time for the farm. “Having another modern and capable tractor to use was a real help, particularly because of the drought making it necessary to feed in the field and increasing demands on the tractor fleet this summer,” he said. “Without it we would have spent more time hitching and unhitching other tractors from implements and trailers to free up the loader, and the telescopic handler would have been under more pressure too.” “The Luxxum impressed us throughout the loan period with its quiet and comfortable cab and the ride quality which proved far better than expected,” added Will. “It took us a while to get the best from some of the functions available as it has a higher specification than we are used to. Reliability was excellent and the fuel economy impressed us all. I really enjoyed using it.” ■

Sugar Beet
Notts contractor returns to 9-row harvesting A family contracting business which has provided a beet harvesting service for more than 40 years recently invested in the latest 9-row Vervaet to optimise efficiency. David Williams reports. Few UK contractors can claim to have offered a beet lifting service longer than JP Plowright & Son. Third generation Edward Plowright, whose grandfather started the family business in 1948, explained; “We have always been contractors, and the business has grown largely through recommendation so we now serve customers within approximately 70 miles radius of our base. Looking after customers in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lincs means catering for a wide variety of soil types and since the mid-1970s we have dealt with Norfolk-based Jeremy Riley for sales and service of our harvesters, and still find his service unbeatable.” The Plowrights bought one of the UK’s first self-propelled six-row harvesters; a Moreau sold by Fords of Rackheath in 1975. Jeremy Riley was employed by the dealer, which was later taken over by Armer Salmon, and continued selling Moreau harvesters until a customer asked Jeremy for a tanker machine, which Moreau couldn’t offer. Jeremy recommended a Vervaet, which Armer Salmon started importing alongside its main Moreau brand in 1992. When Armer Salmon was persuaded by Moreau to give up importing Vervaet in 1995, Jeremy recognised its potential for the UK market and set up his own business as the sole importer from his current base in Norfolk. The Plowrights bought their first Vervaet in 1994, and have remained loyal to the brand and dealer since. “We receive fantastic service from Jeremy and his team,” said Edward. “Part of Vervaet’s strength is that its owners Edwin and Robin Vervaet take such an interest in what we do with
their machines. They are the main designers, know the machines inside out and are always keen to improve although our latest is the best so far. But back-up is key to us and Harry Skeet in J Riley’s workshop is superb. We can rely on him and the rest of the team. Last Christmas Eve we had a problem and Jeremy himself answered the call during the evening. We weren’t intending to harvest again until the 27th, and first thing in the morning an engineer was in our yard. It’s just great service.” Edward currently operates a new Vervaet Beet Eater 925 Evo with a 9-row lifting unit, 5 wheels and a 25t tank and a 625 which is similar, but with a 6-row lifting unit. Previously a 2009-manufactured 625 and 2 smaller 617 6-row 17t models were owned but last year the 625 was upgraded to a reconditioned 2013 625 and the two 617s were part-exchanged for the new 925, and both new machines were delivered in time for the 2018–19 harvest. “Last season we took on additional work when another contractor ceased trading, and ended up running our 625, plus the two 617 machines and we hired in an additional harvester. So it made sense to change the smaller 617s for the second 25t model and to upgrade one to 9-row lifting.”
High output, low fuel use The 925 is from Vervaet’s latest Q-series, with many upgrades over previous versions. Power is from a frugal MercedesBenz MTU 15.6-litre engine producing 623hp, replacing the previous Deutz power unit. “It seems more economical; our

fuel use figures this year are fantastic, but we have to remember we are taking another 3 rows of beet with each pass,” Edward explained. “Our DAF-engined 625 runs at approximately 1,300–1,350rpm and the new 925 runs at 1,250 revs, and it’s quieter too. There’s a lot more usable power and travelling up steep slopes with a full hopper and unloading we maintain 7–8kph with no problems. We refuel daily because there isn’t quite enough capacity for 2 long working days,” explained Edward, “but average consumption is approximately 25-litres/ha.” Between late September when harvesting started and early January when Farmers Guide visited, more than 1,000 hours had been recorded, and Edward expected another 500 hours to be added by the end of the beet campaign. Work records showed the most productive day when 2,500t was lifted between 05.30–21.30 from 34ha of average-
yielding crop and another day saw 32ha split between 2 fields cleared in 14 hours. “In many situations we achieve 50 per cent higher average work rates than we do with the 6-row machine, commented Edward. “We expected an increase but not to this extent. I think it’s mainly due to time saving on headlands. "There are fewer headland passes needed, plus when we are opening up the headland and need to unload into trailers, the 9-row header provides space for unloading on the move by the time we are on the second bout, whereas with the 6-row we have to unload stationary until we have completed 3 passes. It’s just a few minutes each time but over a season it adds up.”

in Europe 9- and 12-rows are more common. Edward ran one of the first 9-row harvesters in 2002, followed by two more 9-row models before returning to 6-rows in 2010. “Some growers are sceptical about the 9-row lifting until they see it at work,” explained Edward. “But the higher work rate and reduced wheelings are an advantage. Older 9-row lifters were less flexible than the latest versions and sometimes struggled to harvest beet planted by 12-row drills as cleanly. Also, the older 9-row headers were more complex and cost more to run and maintain. The latest version is excellent, with features allowing it to cope easily whether beet have been established by 12- or 18-row drills and our operation is more cost-effective with more acres per day harvested by one man.” As well as beet harvesting, other contracting services include cultivations, spraying and combine harvesting and the family rents land on which to grow its own beet for British Sugar. “We do a lot of stubbleto-stubble work,” commented Edward, “and although we travel further for sugar beet, most other work is within a 30-mile radius.” Total beet crop management is offered, from drilling to crop care and harvesting, and two 18-row Monasem drills are operated. “Both 6- and 9-row harvesters are compatible with 18-row drills, but where crops have been established by 12-row drills then every other bout has a joint, which is where previously problems could occur when using a 9-row harvester.
The latest Vervaet 9-row lifter has 3 sets of 3 lifters, with each group mounted independently. In normal work they are linked and move as one unit but from the cab I can separate them so each group of three can follow the beet rows independently. Where a 12-row drill or a wheeling has created a wider gap than normal, this makes sure beet aren’t missed and works well.” Another advantage of the wider 9-row lifting unit is improved weight distribution. The 6-row harvester’s front wheels are in line with the outside of the header, but the 9-row provides a wide gap at each side. The Vervaet makes maximum use of the space through a telescopic front axle allowing the two front wheels to be pushed out wide. “None of the ground is run on twice,” explained Edward. “The arrangement works well and because the two front wheels on each side don’t run in the same tracks there is reduced compaction. It’s certainly seen as a benefit by customers.” With the outer sections folded, the 9-row lifting unit is the same width as the 6-row so moving between work sites isn’t an issue. The latest model has a 38kph transmission, which improves timeliness compared with the previous 30kph maximum.
Comfort and productivity The cab is similar to before, and based on a Claas combine unit. It’s very comfortable and visibility is excellent,” commented Edward. “We also run a Claas combine and very much like the CMotion joystick, so much so that we swapped the original joystick for the one out of our combine and used it for the beet harvest. It worked well, and we asked Jeremy to fit one in the new 925.” The 925 is the Plowright’s first beet harvester with yield mapping. “It works well but we have kept quiet about having it this season,”
Edward explained. “I wanted to check it’s reliable before offering it as an additional service for our customers. The harvester is equipped with John Deere GreenStar, which we use for everything except our Claas combines. We can download the field map data to a usb stick and then upload it through MyJohnDeere. I like to think it will be seen as an additional benefit to offer customers for future seasons. A few years ago there wasn’t much interest, but that seems to be changing.” Asked about share lifters versus oppel wheels Edward said the range of soils from blowing sand to heavy clay, and some fields with stones like breeze blocks makes shares more versatile. The new machine has large steel depth wheels, selected by Edward as an option. “Being powered, they keep clean in sticky conditions. We are asked to leave more foliage on beet now, and the driven wheels keep moving rather than blocking.” Another option recommended by J Riley was double wheels on the header. “The wider unit has to cope with greater variations in ground level and it’s noticeable that the double wheels keep the header level where a single wheel would allow one side to drop,” he said. Automatic steering to maintain alignment with the beet rows uses a combination of the harvester’s front and rear axles. The topper unit is kept in line mainly by the rear wheels while the shares are kept in position by the fronts. A potentiometer takes readings from all nine rows to monitor the position. “This is by far the best automatic steering we have had,” complimented Edward. New cleaning turbines with a smaller centre dish, provide a larger working area allowing them to run at reduced speed to prevent crop damage, and hooks on the bar ends – another new feature, proved particularly useful this year helping reduce losses of small beet in the

cleaning process. “Last year when we needed the additional machine at short notice, we hired a harvester of another brand and, although it was interesting to try it as a comparison and aspects of its design impressed us, we remain convinced that running Vervaet harvesters backed up by Jeremy Riley’s team remains our ■ best option.”
The 9-row lifting unit provides space for the front wheels to be pushed out on a telescopic axle, for improved weight distribution.

Sugar Beet A new Ropa Panther 2 harvester is performing well for North Norfolk farmers GW Harrold & Partners and Robinson Farms (Carbrooke) Ltd.
First season with new brand proves a success Two Norfolk farms growing more than 800ha of sugar beet between them have swapped harvester brands after almost 20 years loyal to a previous manufacturer. David Williams reports. GW Harrold & Partners and Robinson Farms (Carbrooke) Ltd farm separately, but for the past seven years have combined resources during the annual beet harvesting campaign, sharing a harvester and operator. Approximately 4,800ha is farmed across north-west Norfolk between the farms, in an area well served by machinery dealers including sugar beet harvester specialists. Having their own self-propelled machine allows lifting to be timed to suit the crop and conditions, and to match factory deliveries. The farms’ latest acquisition is a brand new Ropa Panther 2, supplied by sole importer CTM Harpley Engineering Ltd, and is the first of its type to be delivered in the UK. “It’s transformed our beet lifting and I think its ease of use and gentle handling of the crop is second to none,” commented main operator Harry Gill. “Last season was my first on a beet harvester and I got on well with the previous machine but, when we had a demonstration of the latest Ropa, its advantages were obvious.”
Convinced by demo Harry said that with CTM based just a few miles away it made sense to consider the brand, but that excellent back-up from the dealer for the farms’ four CTM-manufactured cleaner loaders experienced over many years was also a factor. “The demonstration allowed comparison of our previous machine
with an equivalent model from the Ropa range in the same field and it was quickly obvious that we could increase output but use significantly less fuel,” he explained. The Panther 2 has a 21t hopper mounted on an articulated body with the pivot just behind the cab. Four large flotation tyres include a pair of 800/70R38s at the front and 900/60R38s at the rear on a steering axle. Combining a 60-degree articulation angle and the steering rear axle results in an extremely tight turning circle, and the ability to crab steer with the chassis at a slight angle to the direction of travel, so that each of the four flotation tyres travel over different ground for effective weight distribution. An anti-roll system includes floating axles linked to 4 stabilising cylinders, reducing sway by 50 per cent and improving row and depth control. An option selected by the farm, which has many gently sloping fields, is automatic leveling allowing the chassis and cleaning system to remain horizontal while travelling up, down or across slopes up to 7 degrees.
Operator Harry Gill says the cab is comfortable and the harvester is great to drive, allowing him to minimise losses and crop damage.
the ground, and feed direct to a 7-roller transfer table which replaces the previous 6-roller version for improved pre-cleaning with minimal damage. Few beet are missed or dropped and Harry said this is partly due to the individual lifter depth control. “Usually a constant stream of beet from each lifter maintains even crop
flow across the front of the roller table but where there is a gap because of a drilling miss or a wheeling, it’s possible lifted beet from either side could fall forward off the front of the table and be lost underneath. However, when this header detects a lack of crop in one or more rows the lifters drop down to skim the surface, providing a constant flow of soil filling the gap and preventing beet being lost. It works really well, and manually disengaging it immediately demonstrates how many beet it saves. “This season has demonstrated its ability to automatically adjust to the working conditions very well,” he continued. “The late spring of 2018 and then the severe drought meant that when the beet eventually grew, many were pushed up out of the ground. In areas where this occurred we easily reduced the scalper pressure to minimise the risk of the beet being snapped off at ground level, and in one field we removed the knives altogether and ran the flails at maximum height, just to remove adequate foliage. “An advantage of beet transfer from the shares to rollers over other systems is less contamination by dirt and stones resulting in reduced crop damage,” explained CTM director of sales Nigel Mountain. “From the front edge to the rear, the rollers are clear of the ground so they are not constantly picking up soil and stones which have to be separated from the beet later. This allows gentler cleaning, with less bruising and more of the fragile taproot preserved.” Harry agrees; “I have a clear view of the rollers from the seat and there is no doubt they provide a constant, even feed to the cleaning turbines which allows throughput to be optimised and protects the crop. Comments were continued over...

Large 850mm depth control wheels and intelligent 3-point suspension ensure accurate ground following.

made by several people when they knew we were considering the Panther that the rollers would struggle on some of our heavier soils and that a turbinetype transfer table would be better, but even on some very heavy marsh land we had no problems. Looking at heaps on the field headlands this season and the number of taproots sticking out, it’s obvious that the Panther 2 is very gentle on the crop, and gives us the maximum saleable yield.”
Turbine cleaners From the roller table beet are transferred to the turbine cleaners, which are also improved on the latest model. The diameter is increased by 75mm, providing a larger cleaning area and an improved tine profile includes a squarer edge. Tines are singular rather than double so when breakages occur only one needs replacing saving time and cost. “During the season as the weather turns colder and wetter, the working conditions usually require pig tails to be fitted for more aggressive cleaning in place of the bar gates. "Because bar gates are gentler on the crop most operators use them as long as possible and this season we have heard from operators of the new model working in a wide variety of soil types that they have been able to delay fitting pig tails until later,” added Nigel. Many fields include gentle
slopes demonstrating the benefits of automatic leveling and the Ropa’s ability to harvest in a crab orientation distributes weight evenly, reducing compaction. “It’s been interesting hearing comments from ploughmen working the beet stubbles,” commented Harry. “Our previous harvester left the land fairly level, partly because there was a scraper between the two rear wheels, but they have commented that this year the field is more level and consolidation more even across the surface.”
Significant fuel savings The Volvo Penta engine is a 6-cyl, 16.12-litre producing up to 3,200Nm of torque and 768hp. Performance adjusts automatically to meet the working load, increasing revs during unloading and when climbing steeper slopes. On the day Farmers Guide visited, fuel consumption averaged 22 litres/ha. “The engine speed varies very little, and tends to sit at a constant 1,100rpm, increasing to 1,300rpm during unloading,” said Harry. “It’s very fuel efficient and although seasons vary making direct comparison difficult, we know diesel savings compared with our previous machine are significant. It averaged 30 litres/ha. We tend to refuel the Ropa’s 1,300-litre tank every two days.” The engine meets current exhaust emissions standards without Adblue, although this is likely to be needed for
future versions as legislation tightens, explained Nigel. “For now though, operating without Adblue is a benefit for users as there is less maintenance required and in the long-term it will help maintain higher resale values as many countries prefer the simplicity of an Adblue-free engine.” Day-to-day maintenance is straightforward with most lubrication through an automatic greasing system, although a few require daily or weekly manual attention. The lifter is hinged between the front flail and the lifting shares, allowing easy access for servicing, and the articulated chassis with a wasp-like waist provides great access to the cleaning turbines. The cab is comfortable commented Harry, and the controls take little time to get used to. “After just a day I was completely familiar with most controls and adjustments,” he explained. “Visibility is excellent down to the header and back along both sides. There is a great view during unloading, partly because the articulated chassis angles the elevator forward closer to the cab. Cameras provide a view of the cleaning system and help me protect the crop from damage. “Rather than run at maximum speed all the time I tend to watch the turbines, making sure they are kept full without being overloaded for effective cleaning and minimum bruising.” Harry said during an average 11hour working day he lifts approximately 17ha of beet at 8.5–9.0kph. “Just before Christmas we lifted 71ha in 4 days, but a lot depends on the number of trailers allocated to cart beet from the harvester to the headland.” Features rated highly by Harry include the LED work lights. “They light up the lifter and roller table better than daylight, so I leave them on all the time,” he said. “But after using them the standard halogen front headlights seem dull, so I‘m going to request that they are upgraded before next season.”
A dedicated joystick on the left armrest controls unloading “I tend to drive with my foot on the speed control pedal as it makes it easier to fill trailers evenly. The joystick includes memory buttons for each trailer, so the elevator height and reach is set automatically.” The main joystick on the right armrest controls most harvesting functions, including setting the crabbing angle. Along with manual adjustment there are two preset angles, and one touch of the button selects either. “Usually I just select the maximum for optimal weight distribution, but when we are opening up the field and need space to get the trailer along-side I can select a half-way position just as easily. It’s used frequently and it’s a handy feature. What is also a help is that when I hit the ‘stop’ button, flow from the hopper to the elevator is stopped, but the elevator continues running until it is empty.” Because the farms have many small and irregular-shaped fields, good manoeuvrability is essential and Harry pointed out that in spite of its size, the Ropa can turn on a 12-row headland where there are grass conservation strips or 18 rows without. The shared beet harvester has to travel between work areas by road, and 40kph transmission saves considerable time compared with the previous 30kph machine.
Maximum crop In mid-January, the Ropa had recorded 625 running hours of which 400 were harvesting and 660ha of beet had been lifted. “I enjoy operating the Ropa,” concluded Harry. “Back-up from CTM has been excellent so far, it’s got a great cab with easy controls helping me get the best results. With few losses in the field and taproots protected almost all the crop ends up on the heap, so it’s very rewarding for the driver.” ■

New generation harvesters with enhanced performance Both Rexor models are equipped with 653hp Mercedes-Benz engines meeting latest stage V emissions standards.
The hydraulically-foldable drop brake allows a more gentle transfer of the crop into the bunker, says Grimme.
In 2009 Grimme launched the 6-row self-propelled beet harvester Rexor 620 with a 20t bunker capacity. Four years later the 3-axle chassis version with 30t bunker, the Rexor 630 was introduced. Both model ranges are equipped with extensive new developments for 2019, says the manufacturer. The focus of the new generation, 653hp, 2-axle Rexor 6200 Platinum and 2-axle Rexor 6300 Platinum is on crop protection and performance enhancement, driver comfort and digitisation, says Grimme. The three large dimensioned turbines have got new tines, which ensure more gentle cleaning and
faster transport of the crop. The guide bars for the turbines can be quickly and easily adapted by the driver to the respective digging conditions. Spring tine packages are available as an option for clay rich and sticky soils, adds the company. The new quick-change system allows a simple modification from guide bars to spring tines. Loaddepending speed regulation of the turbines and the ring elevator via ‘Speedtronic’, is integrated as standard, and reduces operator workload ensureing further crop protection. The new and unique 90cm wide ring elevator has large volume pockets
which increase the crop throughput by up to 25 per cent. Due to the higher capacity, the ring elevator can run much slower, which assists in gentle crop handling and reduces wear. In addition, the transfer points have been optimised and a rotating shaft prevents soil build-up and weed deposition between the second cleaning turbine and the ring elevator. The new drop height reducer ensures a gentle crop transfer from the ring elevator into the bunker, continues Grimme. It is automatically controlled to alleviate the operator of the task. The 1.8m-wide unloading elevator can be lowered significantly, so that the drop height for the beet when creating a clamp is very low, and overloading onto a transport vehicle is made easier. Also new is an automated flashing light to signal to a trailer driver that the bunker is ready for unloading.
Driver comfort The cab, points out Grimme, is the quietest on the market thanks to optimised sound insulation. A new operator’s seat is heated and equipped with a higher back and headrest, significantly improving comfort. In addition, the narrow bunker
shape behind the cab provides a significant improvement in the operator’s view of the unloading conveyor. LED light strips are integrated into the engine cover to ensure better visibility and safer working at night or in poor visibility, while the option of ‘ProCam’ (cameras and monitor) provides additional visibility for the operator on both sides of the machine. The saving and recall of individual machine operational parameters, as well as a ‘Visual Protect’ monitoring system are standard, adds the company. According to Grimme, ‘ErgoDrive’ provides operators with intuitive control and easy access to all the machine’s functions, allowing them to save and personalise particular settings as required. Individual and field-specific settings can be stored and conveniently retrieved, and the data management system Optiplan or Optiplan plus, including printer and GPS receiver module, are available as an option. The connection to the myGrimme portal is free of charge and the corresponding telemetry unit is standard on board. Both Rexor models are available as 20, 25, 32 or 40kph versions with road approval. ■

Spring Spraying
Work smarter, not harder to optimise crop performance Better off with better timing
The more you can do to get field growth stage uniformity the easier and more accurate input targeting becomes, says grower David Fuller.
Protecting farm incomes in the era of ‘public goods’ means working smarter rather than harder to optimise crop performance and adhere to the greater scrutiny that farming, along with every other industry, will face. Two farmers are proving to be pathfinders in this area. With curative fungicide options limited David Fuller of Coldstream Mains, Berwickshire is looking to ensure his 1,700ha of wheat across 14 farms is treated precisely at correct growth stage recommendation. Meanwhile, James Nott (right) of Ovington Hall on the Essex/Suffolk border has tackled point source pollution head-on, with the UK’s first dedicated spray wash-down unit with an integrated biofilter. For Mr Fuller winter wheat disease control timings are a potential ‘pinch-point’. Spray capacity is really only part of the story – indeed he is about to downsize. With a 12m combine header he is moving from 40 to 36m boom so everything fits 12m tramlines. Block cropping isn’t used as Mr Fuller prefers a ‘mosaic’ approach for management and wildlife benefits.
Crop uniformity For him, adhering to growth stage timings starts with crop uniformity. “Our aim is a more even plant stand with the objective to make every operation as efficient as possible. The more you can do to get field growth stage uniformity the easier and more accurate input targeting becomes. That is critical today as we don’t really have curative fungicide options now.” To do this Mr Fuller is using
variable seed rates and nutrition to compensate for variable soils, land elevation and climate – inevitable given an area of his size. He also pays particular attention to variety development and disease ratings to stagger leaf development across his area. “Our planning has to be about spreading the workload so we’re looking to get a sequenced approach to growth stage development. What we don’t want is several fields reaching a key growth stage together and insufficient time to treat them.” He is happy to grow varieties susceptible to septoria but they will never take a large area, and he always ensures they are in very accessible fields. Spray technology also helps application best practice. He can use up to four different nozzles in a season, including forward and rear facing nozzles to penetrate canopies or improve pre-em ground cover. Recently he has also added pulse modulation to maintain spray pattern. “We’re trying to work to travel speeds of 12–14kph and a water volume of 100-litres/ha. In the middle of a flat field that is going to give us the pattern consistency to achieve effective coverage of the target. “But our more challenging field shape and terrain sees pressure changes due to variation in sprayer speed, which alters spray pattern.
Innovative technology is beginning to help growers understand and make better use of varietal disease resistance and show the importance of spray timing, Bayer’s Sam Harvey suggests. For the past three seasons Bayer has been measuring latent septoria levels pre and post T2 using DNA testing. One outcome has been to show the value of variety resistance in helping to control the disease. For example, in 2017 septoria DNA levels in KWS Siskin (6.9 resistance rating for septoria on the AHDB Recommended Septoria doesn’t go away, it just sits List) 10 days after GS39 were still there waiting for the weather to trigger it again. below that of KWS Trinity (5.7 on RL) just prior to GS39. But even varietal resistance might not be enough if timings go awry. To simulate weather-related spray delays Bayer has been treating some plots 10 days after the optimum T2 timing. “Where you have well timed applications then you do not see great differences in DNA levels. But where applications are delayed we recorded increases in DNA levels across the three varieties tested, especially from plots drilled in September,” says Mr Harvey. Those levels can rise quickly, as seen in 2017. Leaf two tests taken in late May showed low levels of septoria DNA. Two weeks levels were 3–5 times higher. The reason says Mr Harvey is that septoria does not go away. “It just sits there waiting for the weather to trigger it again. The flag leaf needs protection as soon as it is fully emerged as by the time septoria starts growing inside the leaf you are past the period of peak fungicide effectiveness. Although leaves may look green once mycelia start to spread in the leaf then it is too late,” he adds. Varietal resilience can buy you an extra 10 days in your spray window but getting the best from that means being smart with other agronomic decisions, including fungicide choice and timing, Mr Harvey says. “Ascra is arguably the most effective septoria fungicide available, but this will never fully eradicate the disease in a curative situation. Even with a product like Ascra it is better as a protectant, and exposing the chemistry to established septoria is the worst case scenario. By adhering to correct spray timings in combination with cultural controls, such as varietal resistance and drilling date, we’ll all be better off,” he concludes. This can impair coverage of the target, potentially increasing disease risk and compromising resistance management strategies. Being contract farmers we must optimise crop performance throughout, to ensure sufficient income for us and our customers.”
Key timings The northern climate means SDHIs are needed at both T1 and T2 timings, but best practice keeps the fungicide bill around £100/ha. Growth stage accuracy means a T1.5 isn’t needed, apart from in extreme situations. Disease control starts with a T0 followed by SDHIs at T1 and T2. Choices revolve around Aviator (prothioconazole +
bixafen), Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) and Adexar (epoxiconazole + fluxapyroxad). In which order they are used depends on pressure and variety susceptibility but generally prothioconazole is seen as stronger on septoria, and the stem based complex. “Our approach is all about prevention. By staggering crop development and ensuring accurate penetration of the target area we are optimising our input use and avoiding contingency measures and expense.”
Working smarter James Nott doesn’t have the same logistical challenge as Mr Fuller and the drier south-east can also continued over...

ease disease pressure. For him working smarter is reducing his environmental footprint. He places the same value in variety choice and adhering to growth stage timings, and like Mr Fuller is using a four-spray programme with SDHIs at T1 and T2 to keep septoria and yellow rust at bay. But after learning that, nationally, 40 per cent of farm chemical pollution (point source James Nott installed a purpose built fully enclosed sprayer unit encompassing a biofilter system to reduce chemical run off.
pollution) was coming from the farmyard he decided he should act. His response was to install a purpose built fully enclosed sprayer unit encompassing a biofilter system to reduce chemical run off. His was the first unit of its kind anywhere in the UK. Three filters of soil, compost and straw can handle up to 140 litres of liquid a day and what comes out is 100,000 times cleaner than what

can be washed off sprayers. With farming often getting a poor press he is keen to ensure what he is doing cannot be called into question. “Washing down the sprayer in the field just isn’t practical, so like many we were waiting until we were back in the yard. We are located in the Stour river catchment area and I just felt we could be doing better here. I think it has been clear for some time that our industry will face greater scrutiny when it comes to conservation, environment and habitat.”

He acknowledges the system is not perfect but says it is the standard currently. “It handles most chemicals well, but there are the odd few that it doesn’t like. But overall we are reducing our chemical point source footprint by way over 90 per cent and that is excellent.” To further reduce farm impact he has also made the switch to air induction nozzles to reduce drift. “All our spraying is done with four sizes of Billericay Bubble jet nozzles. These give us the ideal pattern for the target but also reduce spray drift. There’s also an operational benefit in that they do expand the operational window when conditions are a little outside the ideal.” The investment in the biofiltered spray unit has operational benefits too. The biggest is the availability of the sprayer at any time. “The unit is very well insulated so the sprayer is ready to go at any time. Pumping out the antifreeze is a chore we do not have to worry about and gaskets and seals are better protected against brittleness caused by prolonged cold spells. It makes something like a late application of Kerb (propyzamide) so much easier, and of course we do not have to worry about ethylene glycol entering watercourses,” he concludes. ■

Spring Spraying Improving farm logistics Horsch’s logistics range, which includes the 34m3 Titan chaser bin, has been expanded to include two new lorry-mounted units; the Shuttle 10000F for seed and granular fertiliser, and the Shuttle 8000L for liquids. “Keeping high-performance drills and sprayers supplied with inputs is essential to maintaining a high daily work rate,” explains Horsch UK general manager, Stephen Burcham. “The Shuttle improves on-farm logistics, allowing operators to do this easily. It is built to the same high standards as all Horsch machinery and includes proven components from our broad product range,” he says. Both Shuttle models can be
mounted on the rear of a 4wd lorry. An adaptive connection system allows the Shuttle to be easily attached to a wide range of lorry variants. Built-in fork guides enable the Shuttle to be manoeuvred safely with a forklift truck. The Shuttle 10000F features a 10,000-litre hopper and a conveyor belt capable of loading a drill with seed or fertiliser at 2,000kg per minute. The Shuttle 8000L combines an 8,000-litre stainless steel tank, 800-litre fresh water tank and a 3,000-litre/min pump for fast refilling. The Shuttle 8000L also features the automatic internal Continuous Cleaning System from the Leeb LT trailed sprayer. ■

New tri-fold booms for 2019
The new tri-fold boom for Berthoud’s Axiale range has six width options from 24–33m.
French manufacturer Berthoud has launched a new 3-arm folding boom option for its Axiale range. The new options offer compact folding within the chassis dimensions, with 6 boom widths available (24, 27, 28, 30, 32 and 33m). The triangulated structure assures rigidity in the boom and offers complete protection to the fluid lines and nozzles while the large boom pivots offer strength and durability for the roughest of conditions. Axiale booms provide horizontal stability especially when turning and giving excellent performance on sloping ground, says Berthoud. This
is due to the low centre of gravity positioning of the central pivot suspension design. Suppression units fitted to the main arm fold rams control the yawing action when turning. Variable geometry rams are available as an option. This allows the left and right hand boom sections to be raised or lowered below the horizontal independently. Automatic reset to the horizontal position is also available as an option. The new booms are available on the Tracker mid-range 3,200-litre trailed machine and the Vantage trailed range. ■

Saving time and money is the aim of the new Automatic Moisture Sensor for grain dryers launched by Perry of Oakley. The Automatic Moisture Sensor is accurate to within 0.5 per cent at 5–18 per cent moisture content and within 1 per cent at 18–40 per cent. It is fully integrated into Perry’s own, in-house, PLC control software for the dryer but can also be installed into any make of existing dryer or used as a standalone system.
The system measures crops’ moisture content quickly and accurately, helping to ensure grain is dried to optimum levels and not over-dried. The Perry of Oakley Savannah series dryers are capable of capacities from 5–150ph. The dryers come with Perry’s own PLC panel. If connected to the internet, the panel can send email and text alerts including dryer status updates and alerts for any issues that may have occurred while drying. The PLC panel can also be connected to an app where growers can see and adjust the dryer control panel meaning the dryer can be controlled from anywhere with a mobile phone signal or WiFi connection. Perry also manufactures a full range of 10–1,000tph handling equipment including chain and flight conveyors, belt and bucket elevators, augers and screw conveyors, aspirator pre-cleaners and belt conveyors. ■
Live readings ensure optimal moisture Many years of research and development including three years of on-farm work have culminated in the launch of the BDC Systems Moisture Monitoring System. Much of the product development was carried out with help from Benny Smith of Manor Road Farm in Wantage, Oxfordshire. “After three years of development work at my grain store, the BDC Moisture Monitoring System has now become a valuable tool during the harvest season,” says Mr Smith. “I can instantly see any changes in grain moisture going in to the dryer or coming out, and react accordingly.” Using sampling units designed and developed by BDC, grain is taken from both the incoming (wet) and outgoing (dry) elevators. These samples are then processed through a multi-chamber duct incorporating a Sinar moisture probe specifically designed for this application. Live readings showing the moisture content of both samples in a percentage format are displayed on a screen along with a graph showing the moisture trend. Historical data is also stored in the system’s memory for future reference. The MMS can be linked in with
BDC’s grain dryer control panel and the data can be remotely viewed on devices such as mobile phones. The system can be retro-fitted to any grain drying system, subject to a site survey. Matt Grainge, BDC’s technical manager and head of product development says: “Following extensive on-site testing at several plants around the country, we are confident that MMS is producing accurate real time data. This information can be used to adjust dryer settings which will save money and ensure grain goes into storage at its optimum moisture content. The ultimate aim is to automate the entire process.” ■
BDC Systems’ new Moisture Monitoring System gives live readings of the moisture content of grain samples.

Flach & Le-Roy Ltd – Crop/Woodchip Drying Systems Founded in 1993 by Richard Flach and Owen Le-Roy, together the partners have over 50 years experience in the crop drying and storage business. Their speciality is high quality drive-on flooring and box-store ventilation and conditioning systems. Based on the near-ambient drying method Flach & Le-Roy's drive-on floor drying system is fully automated, having fans and burners controlled via humidity sensors in the air duct and fan house. The drying rate for cereals is up to half a percent every 24 hours and the fans deliver air through the crop at between 20 and 24 feet per minute depending on stack height. Offloading the grain trailer into the store is time and labour saving and the crop needs no stirring. More recent application of the drying-floor system is the preparation of woodchip for biomass heating systems. Our system typically supports a 200Kw boiler drying 40 tonnes of woodchip at 1.5m deep from 40% to 25% moisture content over 2 to 3 days.

Making sense of remote grain store control Remote control technology is making grain store monitoring and management possible from the user’s mobile phone. Launched at Lamma 2019, the Robydome WTM-1 smart grain store monitoring and control point now enables complete remote management of temperatures and ventilation within the crop in floor stores, using a phone or tablet. The WTM-1 is a self-contained smart box in the store, linked to wireless temperature probes and the ventilation system. All the vital information to manage store conditions is available instantly, and in real-time, using a clear and simple web-browser page to check and make changes. The highly intuitive control programme is designed from years of experience and knowledge of grain store installation and operation, with fully automatic or manual control. Linked to ambient humidity and temperature sensors it can autonomously regulate if and when fans operate, to condition the crop to the ideal storage point. Records continuously track 63112

progress and reports as grain temperatures cool for individual points across the store. This ensures that any hot spots can be quickly targeted and resolved. The WTM1 will automatically send an email alert if any danger points or problems are triggered. A single WTM-1 control point can manage up to eight stores, with up to 32 sensors in each store. Its compact design and high functionality eliminates the issues with dust and humidity experienced with a static computer point in the store. The system can also be fully integrated and managed from a computer in the farm office or home.
Importantly, with the Robydome system, all the store’s historical records and data are held on the farm’s own box, rather than a remote server. That has eliminated expensive monthly data storage and access costs associated with server-based systems.
The WTM-1 is available for compatibility with the company’s range of wireless probes and sensors for new store installation or upgrades, and as a retro-fit for suitable existing Robydome systems. ■

Growers welcome precision auto drying A new system offering precision drying of grain and oilseeds with minimal manual intervention has been welcomed by two busy growers. Kentra’s Dryer Master creates a digital record of an individual dryer’s performance characteristics during manual operation and then uses that experience to operate automatically. Temperature-compensating sensors measure the moisture content of incoming wet grain and outgoing dried grain, enabling the control system to calculate how long the crop must take to pass through the dryer in order to achieve the required average
moisture level. “Dryer Master removes a lot of the guesswork involved in operating a drying system when moisture content shifts during the day,” says Barry Higginbottom of Kentra. “It releases the dryer operator to spend time on other aspects of store and harvest management.” In Gloucestershire, Hamish Campbell uses the system on a 23-year old Kentra continuous flow dryer for 1,000-1,500t of milling winter wheat, a similar amount of malting spring barley and 1,500-2,000t of oilseed rape grown for the family’s R-Oil dressing and cooking oil and R-Oil Liquid Gold horse feed supplement. The rapeseed is cold pressed and moisture content is a key factor in the amount of oil liberated. “We’ve seen all these precision farming Shropshire grower, Rob Timmis likes the remote display, which enables him to monitor progress and adjust certain settings while away from the grain store and dryer.

developments, such as GPS, variable rate seeding and big advances in spraying but drying, which is critical to achieving the best possible return from the crop we’ve invested so much in, has been the poor relation,” says Mr Campbell. “Now we have something that takes drying to a new level of accuracy.” An easier workload at harvest is a key attraction of the system for Shropshire grower Rob Timmis, along with the system’s ability to consistently hit average moisture level targets. “However experienced you are with a dryer, it’s a difficult thing to manage, especially when there’s so much else going on at harvest,” he says. “There’s always a temptation to keep fiddling, so hitting the optimum is really quite hard. “There’s also the inclination to err on the side of caution because there’s
nothing worse than having to put grain through the dryer again when it’s just half or one percent over the contract terms.” Having seen how consistently it can hit the target moisture, Rob Timmis says he is confident enough to leave the Dryer Master system in control when running his Kentra dryer overnight. “I can always keep an eye on things by remote access on my iPad,” he adds. This remote feature can also be used to adjust settings or shut down the dryer. The same key information is shown on the tablet as on the Dryer Master display built into an existing dryer control cabinet or installed as a self-contained add-on for Kentra and other makes of dryer already in service. ■

Grain Systems to monitor grain store equipment The new text alert systems for Harvest Constant Humidity Controller and Harvest Maxi Stirrer, constantly monitor the equipment to alert operators of any problems.
Joining the Harvest CHC temperature text alert system are two new products to help farmers keep up to date with their Harvest equipment, says Harvest Installations. The original system was designed to keep farmers up to date with daily crop temperatures via a simple and cost effective text system. It would also monitor ambient temperatures to alert for best store cooling and conditioning. The new text alert systems for Harvest Constant Humidity Controller and Harvest Maxi Stirrer constantly monitor the equipment to alert the operator of any problems. The two systems, based on the same GSM modem unit, are connected to the fault systems on the CHC and stirrer. If the CHC locks out, or the Stirrer loses a belt, an alert is sent immediately. The systems are self contained
and powered from the main machine. Each unit can be programmed from a mobile phone and can alarm not only the owner, but other staff too. All units come pre-programmed with standard alarm messages, but can be customised to suit individual needs; ie store number, farm name or location. Using a mid-sized SIM card (supplied by the customer), coupled with a high gain aerial, reliable coverage is guaranteed, says the company. Harvest Installations is also proud to announce Equipment Fault Tracking, it continues. If users register their alarm system the company will add its service number to the text system. This means that as soon as operators know there is a fault with their equipment, so does the company’s service department, which will then get in touch to discuss whether the fault can be fixed by farm staff, or if a service visit is required. These new systems, coupled with the already successful Harvest Advanced Controller, give farmers all the data needed and equipment support to effectively manage crop drying and storage. ■
Complete drying package Gas and diesel mobile dryers from Mecmar have been added to the range of products available from Morgan Farm Machinery. The dryers have capacities from 7-55t with the most popular
sizes being 20, 24 and 35t electric automatic dryers. When used in conjunction with a grain loading hopper these will load, dry, cool and empty automatically. The whole drying cycle is around two hours, so a substantial amount of grain can be dried in one day, says Morgan. The company also refurbishes Opico and Mecmar grain dryers, supplies genuine parts and services dryers nationally. All reconditioned dryers are covered by a season’s parts and labour warranty. Morgan Farm Machinery also sells fixed equipment, grain store buildings, Challow wooden floor drying systems, centrifugal drying fans, constant humidity controllers and concrete wall panels. ■ Morgan Farm Machinery supplies the Mecmar range of grain dryers with capacities from 7–55t.

Get grain pests under control ahead of harvest Insects in grain can be a costly problem for farmers with rejections and potential missed opportunities to sell. Command Pest Control can offer solutions at all levels to kill insects in grain and to prevent the problem from recurring in the next stored crop, says the company. This has been a very busy season in dealing with pests in grain; the long hot summer meant that grain coming into store was very warm and, with few cool nights, it could not be cooled fast enough to prevent insects from multiplying. This has led to Last year’s hot summer led to a high number of bugs in grain, says Command Pest Control. Command Pest Control grain fumigation trucks.
situations of hot spots in stored grain and making corrective action difficult to achieve. Command has a large number of screw-in pedestals and fans capable of sucking heat from grain enabling it to get the grain under gas faster. Once gassed, the grain is checked for any further problems and, if clear, a certificate is issued and the grain can be moved. Prior to next harvest, Command can offer grain store cleaning using road compressors to blow walls, followed by vacuuming. An insecticidal treatment with specialised equipment capable of ensuring the correct application over all surfaces of the store kills and prevents any resident insects from contaminating new crop. Once in store Command can also offer a grain monitoring service tailored to a farmer’s needs. Inspections monitor temperature, moisture and bird activity and reports are entered into a report book. Should problems occur the farmer is quickly notified with advice on any corrective action, concludes Command Pest Control. ■

Pedestal ventilation just got better Pedestal ventilation is popular in the UK, be it metal or plastic. There are challenges particularly for growers using overhead conveyors to fill grain stores, as pedestal top pipes can bend over when filling, if flowing grain pressure is not kept even around the pipe. The potential of unwanted problems at harvest has put some people off using pedestals to cool grain, writes Evans & Pearce’s Rob White (right). Underflow from Evans & Pearce is a pedestal based ventilation system with a new method of supplying air to the perforated base, resulting in a number of additional advantages for users. Fans are positioned outside of the store and air is ducted to the underside of the pedestal via 160mm underground plastic air ducts. The air ducts emerge in the store under a floor-flush manhole cover, the cover is removed and a steel transition piece is fitted into the air duct. The steel transition then sockets
internally into the 450mm Polycool base and allows the heat from the grain to be removed and vented directly to atmosphere and not into the grain store.
Two roles The steel transition piece performs two roles; a coupler from the air duct to the Polycool and, secondly, secures the pedestal base in position during filling. Capping the top of the Polycool stops grain entering the pedestal. A marker pole can be supplied to identify the pedestal base during emptying. The 160mm underfloor ducts are positioned into the hardcore base prior to the concrete floor being poured. The extra work incurred at this point is minimal, easily completed by experienced ground workers. The grower now has a ventilation system with the cost advantages and flexibility of pedestal ventilation, with added benefits:
Underflow from Evans & Pearce offers a number of advantages for grain storage systems..
•
Warm air from crop is removed directly from the grain store • Pedestals held firmly in position during filling • Fans can be managed at floor level and from outside, not on top of the grain • No worry of the top pipe collapsing during filling Pedestal positions are planned and installed during the build and once the floor is poured, are fixed. This leads to accurate spacing year after year and the tendency to opt for more cooling points from the outset as extras are not really then cost effective to add. Underflow elevates pedestal ventilation from a cost effective stop gap with limitations to a genuine replacement for underfloor channels, without the high installation cost. Fans are much easier to move if opting to have less than one for each pedestal and simpler to automate as all power points are usually
positioned outside on one wall. The majority of additional kit required is standard building materials, which are relatively cheap to purchase so the costs of the overall installation are kept to a minimum. As a guide, typical hardware costs for a system like this would be between £4–£6 per stored tonne of grain. As old buildings are replaced with modern, purpose-built grain stores, we expect to see demand for permanent Underflow systems increase. ■

Grain Market leading results for 2018 harvest The Dickey-john Mini GAC 2500 may be small but it has outperformed other moisture meters.
Following the success of the benchtop DICKEYjohn GAC 2500, the Mini GAC 2500 has also proved it can outperform other moisture meters in its class. Analysing the data from UK proficiency testing schemes, the Mini GAC 2500 has given the most accurate results of any small moisture meters. Using the latest 149 MHz grain analysis technology and UK specific calibrations, the Mini GAC 2500
delivered the most accurate results for the 2018 harvest for wheat, barley and oilseed rape. Compared to the average laboratory oven results, the Mini GAC 2500 had a difference of only 0.19% for wheat and oilseed rape and 0.17% for barley. In the same scheme, the next best small moisture meters, both of which are more expensive than the Mini GAC 2500, delivered results with accuracies of 0.31% and 0.41% for wheat, 0.37% and 0.88% for barley and 0.29% and 0.23% for oilseed rape. The Mini GAC 2500 is sold and supported by Farm-Tec which develops the UK specific calibration on a wide range of commodities including wheat, barley, oats, rapeseed, peas and beans, and monitors the calibrations throughout the year to ensure optimum accuracy and performance. Due to its size and ease of use, the Mini GAC 2500 offers laboratory standards in the field, store and dryer, giving the confidence to make sound decisions when drying, storing and trading grain. ■
CONTINUOUS FLOW GRAIN DRYERS For over 20 years, Kentra has been at the forefront of crop drying technology. Our dryers are easy to operate, rugged, reliable and energy efficient. • Wide range of standard machines with capacities up to 100 tonnes per hour • Constructed from heavy duty fully galvanised steel for both indoor and outdoor installation • Fully automatic control system with data logging facility • Low noise operation • Comprehensive 3 year warranty on all new equipment
Remote control systems Remote control and monitoring of grain drying and storage using the internet or SMS text messages is increasingly popular, according to Bennett & Co. With larger farming businesses and large areas being contract farmed, farm managers and operators need the ability to be warned of system alarms, output of continuous flow dryers, or the temperature of stored crop from wherever they are. It also means that logging of drying and storage data for quality assurance is then possible. In 2018 Bennett & Co supplied a Perry continuous flow dryer and plant that can be controlled not only by a remote desktop computer but also by a mobile phone app. The screen shows exactly what is on the panel touchscreen so is easy to use. On the same site Bennett & Co supplied a Robydome StoreCheck system to control 18 cooling fans as well as monitoring crop temperature using wireless sensors which can be remotely accessed too. Perry dryer and plant control using internet enabled touchscreen control.
On-floor grain drying systems can also be monitored remotely. Harvest Installations supplies text alarm systems to give operators operational warnings with its Constant Humidity Controller modulating gas burners and Maxistirrer stirrer systems. Bennett & Co can also supply systems for potato and onion stores.

Clean up ahead of harvest Michael Williams Engineering has been serving the farming community since the 1970s. During that time, the company says that it has listened to its customers by designing, developing and building many types of Big Brute industrial vacuum cleaners. Its large range of machines enables farmers to clear up arduous, mucky areas of the farm quickly and easily, points out the business. Preparing for harvest is always busy, cleaning out grain stores or pack floors ready to store the new crops. This whole process can be made far quicker and safer with the right Big Brute. The company offers free demonstrations to show farmers how the powerful Big Brute ranges can make life much easier. The Big Brute Popular is ideal for silos, elevator pits, conveyor trenches, floors and under floor ventilators. It’s designed specifically to tackle these locations on account of its high suction power. In addition, the Popular can be attached to a Big Brute
Bulkmaster, featuring a large capacity and rapid emptying, to ensure the vacuum cleaner can be operated without having to be stopped and emptied so often. For large storage floor areas,

the company recommends the Big Brute Warehouseman. With the front-mounted floor brush, areas can be cleaned at walking pace, and it is particularly suited to clearing dirt from potato store floors, reducing

Grain Having an appropriate intake system is vital to avoid bottlenecks during harvest.
Considering intake options With the ever-increasing outputs of modern combine harvesters, it is important to avoid bottle necks back at the farm. To help overcome this problem Danagri-3S offers several different
types of intake systems from above floor intake hoppers, level floor conveyors and its JEMA Dry Pits which allows operators to drop up to 60t of grain in the pit and get the trailers quickly back to the
63231
combine harvester. The dry pit consists of a 3m wide galvanised hopper which is suspended from floor level and keeps the base of the conveyor at least 160mm away from the
concrete floor. The pit can be from 3-10m long and has a chain and flight conveyor in the bottom to outload at 60, 100 or 150tph. Access for service is made easy by the hopper being suspended. The company offers both walk-over and drive over versions of the pit. JEMA also offers a full range of chain and flight conveyors, belt and bucket elevators and belt conveyors to complement the pits. JEMA equipment for filling and levelling grain in floor stores uses its popular belt conveyor range. Here the company offers capacities from 60-300tph together with a full range of accessories including tripper carriage, hanging brackets, winches, guide rails and controls using the latest sonar depth sensing technology to give an accurate depth filling of a floor store. This system is widely used on the continent to give layer drying, which eliminates any damp areas of grain in the store and ensures good air-flows and even drying. Danagri-3S offers free and technical back-up service for both new and existing installations. ■

One of the UK’s largest seed producers has given its verdict on the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board’s (AHDB) Recommended List for 2019/20 as it predicts a challenging year ahead for growers. GrainLink, the marketing division of Wynnstay Group, has highlighted exciting additions including new Group 4 soft wheats LG Spotlight and LG Skyscraper – both candidate varieties last year – and the new winter barley options offering very high yields and good disease packages including KWS Gimlet, LG Flynn and Valerie. The group’s combinable seed product manager Jonathan Baxendale said: “Growers also shouldn’t forget the three G’s, which were favourite Group 4 wheats this year – Gleam, Gravity and Graham. All grew in popularity in 2018 and we envisage this being the case again for 2019, with all three yielding well despite a difficult year.” GrainLink, which has trading offices in Shrewsbury and Grantham, markets cereal commodities to the
end user, enabling its experienced traders to maximise returns to both suppliers and customers. It makes use of the latest commodity software and uses a TASSC accredited laboratory for accurate analysis of all grains, oilseeds and pulses. In addition, it offers growers an extensive range of forward cereal contracts plus spot marketing on all commodities. There is also a free app at www.igrain.co.uk which allows farmers to keep an eye on the market trends. Managing director Stuart Dolphin said GrainLink offered growers a helping hand as the sector faces pressure from political uncertainty and reduced marketing opportunities: “Marketing grain is difficult at the best of times but with the added confusion surrounding Brexit and other potential trade wars it only worsens. Our continued expansion in the East, backed by our parent company Wynnstay, offers growers alternative opportunities and outlets coupled with financial security that is paramount in this volatile climate. “We market all combinable crops on their individual merits using the latest grain testing equipment, thereby maximising returns and limiting costly claims. We can also tailor packages to suit a specific business by way of a buy back contract to complement seed choice and to offer security at time of planting or bespoke reciprocal trading arrangements.” Trial plots of all varieties on the List can be viewed at this year’s Arable Event, organised by GrainLink and Wynnstay, on June 19.

Maize
Place orders for treated seed in good time The withdrawal of active ingredients in seed treatments for maize has the potential to threaten yield performance and influence grower decisions for the year ahead, according to KWS maize product manager, John Burgess (right). He advises producers to place orders for treated seed as soon as possible, to ensure that they receive their first choice of varieties. It is anticipated that 2019 will be the final year in which maize seed can be treated with Mesurol (methiocarb), and therefore suppliers are likely to be running their stocks down, says Mr Burgess. While the effects of Brexit are as yet undetermined, current European Union legislation may introduce a ban on the use of the chemical for this purpose by 2020. “It is reasonable to expect that manufacturers will prioritise the most popular varieties for Mesurol
treatments,” he says. “Seed that is left untreated can be vulnerable to bird damage and, apart from sowing at greater depths, there is little that growers can do to prevent plant loss, in some situations.” Wireworm can cause severe damage in untreated seed and maize crops following grass are subject to the highest risk, he comments. Growers have already lost access to two remedial products: Poncho (clothianidin) and Gaucho (imidacloprid). A third, Sonido (thiacloprid), is widely predicted to follow this pattern in time for the 2020 season and there may be a move away from rotations where maize follows grass. Another threat to maize seed establishment comes from fungal disease, and Mr Burgess points to a relatively new seed treatment which offers protection. Redigo M (prothioconazole + metalaxyl) is an effective method of minimising the ‘damping off ’ of seed and reducing disease spread and subsequent yield penalties. Two other chemical

treatments, both of which contain fludioxonil, are Maxim and Influx. “Companies which treat seed have a restricted number of options to offer protection, so Redigo M is a welcome addition to the range; fludioxonil has been registered since 1993,” he says. “Very few new products for treating maize seed have been launched on to the market in recent
years, and the prospect of additional active ingredients being withdrawn is unwelcome news for growers. There have been some new developments, but these are mainly confined to nutritional products, which aim to improve overall plant health. Therefore I would urge growers to order their chemically-treated seed in good time, for the planting season ahead,” says Mr Burgess. ■

Many growers were unable to plant at the normal time in 2018.
Make more of maize in 2019 With yields in 2018 generally down on account of extraordinary weather conditions, Heather Briggs seeks advice for getting the most from maize in 2019. Even maize growers who are advocates of non-inversion tillage may find they need to plough this spring to bury soil borne spores. Soils in the Eastern Counties are still suffering with a persistent soil moisture deficit (SMD) following the long hot summer of 2018. As a result, maize stubble will not yet have degraded, leaving it vulnerable to fungal infections. In addition, at the time of
writing in January, soil temperatures have not yet dipped sufficiently to inhibit soil-borne pests such as smut and northern corn leaf blight (helminthosporium), says KWS UK maize and hybrid rye product manager John Burgess. He points to an east-west divide between maize growers, with those in the east primarily growing for anaerobic digesters (AD), while in the
Multi-use silage or biogas – wide drilling window…
west it is long-term forage production. “Most growers who are producing for an AD work on a low-cost strategy which often includes spending the least possible on soil cultivation.” Nevertheless, he insists, soil structure should not be ignored. “Those who are growing maize for forage plough every year as a matter of course, and there is also a lower SMD in the west.”
When it comes to variety choice, he advises taking a level of yield as a base, and then opting for early maturity. “Seed for early maturing varieties may cost a little more, but seed is only a tiny proportion of the total cost of growing. “There are environmental concerns about maize, so the crop is coming under increasing scrutiny from the authorities, some of which are calling for mandatory under-sowing or immediate cover.” This is because the wide rows of the crop bring a threat of inter-row erosion and runoff from winter rainfall. Nonetheless, he emphasises, growers should not shy away from planting maize in 2019. “2018 was a bizarre year, and while some people got away with reasonable yields, the national figure is estimated to be down 20–25 per cent on average.”

Maize as quickly as possible. This sometimes led to drilling depth being skipped as they tried to establish the maize acreage in a very short drilling window. As the soils then quickly dried out and became hard, it made it difficult for maize roots to penetrate in search of water and nutrients, and therefore affecting yields. Last year’s trials for the Maize Descriptive List were challenged
by the heat and dry conditions, reflecting commercial crops, reports NIAB forage crop specialist Ellie Sweetman (left). Where some trials failed due to drought and temperature related variable growth, others provided reassuring yield and quality. Lodging was seen in both trials and commercial crops at levels not seen for over 20 years. This data is reflected in the varieties’ standing

power on the Descriptive List and is aggregated with previous years of data to give a realistic measure of which varieties have least incidence of lodging, she explains. Funded by the British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) and Maize Growers’ Association (MGA), the Descriptive List provides detailed
information on maize varieties that have been trialled in a range of UK conditions with sites spread across the country. Traits evaluated include dry matter tonnage per hectare achieved, dry matter percentage, starch percentage, standing power and digestibility, continued over...
Maize growers advised to act early Acting on last year’s difficult growing season which saw dry conditions at drilling and beyond, maize growers who lost out on yields may choose to work seedbeds less to retain some moisture. While this may help the crop get away, it will also assist weeds to emerge, warns Syngenta technical manager Georgina Wood (right). In addition, cloddy condition will also make it difficult to achieve good herbicide coverage, where the use of angled nozzles facing forwards and backwards would help. She advises early weed control, which ideally should be finished before maize reaches the 4-leaf growth stage, when yield really starts to be affected. “If you have a weed problem, you may find it beneficial to use a pre-emergence spray rather than relying on a more time-sensitive postemergence strategy,” she says. “Changing strategy from previous years may be required to help you retain yields, as we have fewer actives available than in the past.”

which serve as a guide for choosing both forage and AD (anaerobic digester) maize varieties, depending on whether site conditions are favourable or less favourable.
The secret to good maize yields Accuracy and consistency of seed placement is essential for good crop establishment.
Seed availability “As the possible impacts of an EU exit are not yet certain, many European maize breeders have submitted their varieties to the UK National List to ensure continued availability to UK growers. “It is unclear what the impacts on whether and how we leave the EU will be and I would urge growers to get their seed orders in sooner rather than later.” While both growers and trial operators alike were frustrated with the delay in drilling the 2018 crop, growers should avoid any temptation of getting the 2019 crop in too early as soil temperatures are essential for good establishment, with maize needing a minimum of 8ºC for five days prior to drilling and low frost risk, she emphasises. “It is also important to take the time needed to achieve a good seedbed as compaction will be detrimental to quality and yield.” ■
The key to good maize yields lies in the positioning of the seeds, according to one expert. Steve Twist of Toucan Farm Machinery which imports the Monosem range of precision drills says that maize seeds must be positioned at a consistent depth, accurately spaced and with even soil to seed contact. “This ensures the crop emerges evenly with equal plant competition of the available soil nutrients, water, and light, to maximise potential
yield and give even cob ripening,” he says. “Monosem has decades of experience in this respect, which is reflected in the quality and robustness of its drills. The large diameter seed disc on the Monosem NG Plus 4 pneumatic seed drill ensures only one seed disc is required for perfect seed selection and singulation across the widest range of maize seed sizes. “Dead-Drop placement ensures minimal seed to soil velocity difference, which maintains seed
spacing and depth, with the seed being placed in a narrow soil seed groove, unlike a blown seed which is prone to bounce.” The range is available with traditional mechanical drive, while electric drive versions enable operators to turn off individual rows either manually or automatically, using Isobus task control (TC-SC) software working with the tractor’s GPS. This avoids double-sowing when moving on and off headlands, saving seed and maintaining infield even plant competition, removing the need to hoe out overlaps. Monosem electric drills are fully Isobus and AEF approved for task control section control (TC-SC) and Geo control (TC- GEO) software, so they can operate automatically with GPS and field maps for variable seed rate control. By changing the seed disc the Monosem NG Plus drills oilseed rape, beans, peas, pumpkin and sunflower as well as maize and sugar beet. ■

Maize Single pass system to maximise returns
One-pass precision drill Combining the Mzuri strip tillage drill with precision seeding, the Xzact system delivers a 3-in-1 drill in a single pass. The Pro-Til Xzact system allows users to alternate between direct drilling, strip tillage seeding and precision planting. Like the other Pro-Til models, the Xzact system offers seeding accuracy, typically of conventional precision seeding drills, but in the form of a single pass drill. With its staggered legs providing high trash clearance, the Xzact can drill straight into previous crop residue which is believed to help retain moisture, reduce soil and water erosion and improve soil structure. All this is achieved with a reduction in diesel requirements of up to 80 per cent compared with conventional seeding – without penalty to yields says Mzuri. Accurate individual seed placement is delivered via an electronic precision seeding unit and coulter assembly while constant hydraulic pressure is exerted onto each coulter arm to maintain seeding depth accuracy.
KNOW THE
DRILL
The Mzuri Xzact can drill straight into previous crop residue.
Regardless of seed size, the system’s adjustable pressure vacuum metering unit evenly spaces crops with each unit containing a metering disc and singulator to prevent skips and doubles. Driven by an electric motor, the same seeding distance is maintained at variable speeds. The Xzact system uses mini hoppers which are automatically replenished by a bulk fill mechanism directly from the Pro-Til’s main 2800-litre tank, extending drilling time and reducing downtime. ■
The Samco System for maize establishment was invented by Samuel Shine 22 years ago and the family company has now sold well over 1,000 units around the world. The original concept of a 3-in-1 machine still applies, with sowing of the seed, applying herbicide and laying the Oxo-biodegradable film all integrated into a single pass, says the business. Continual development of the technology lies at the heart of the company’s success and the newly designed 4- and 6-row drills which are now available in the UK direct from Samco. With more consistent seeding depth and faster speed of operation as the key objectives, these drills have a new disc coulter replacing the previously used shoe-type coulter. The machines will also be
used with a new and improved Oxo-biodegradable film that brings several important advantages. “We’ve been developing and manufacturing Oxo-biodegradable film for the Samco System for 15 years,” explains sales director Matthew Shine. “This latest evolution of the product will be made at a new facility at our base in Ireland using a next generation resin that allows it to be even thinner (at 5.5 microns) than earlier versions, without losing any of its strength. This new film will be available in rolls of 3,800m, increasing the acreage covered per roll by 20 per cent.” With so much uncertainty facing farmers in the post-Brexit era, maximising returns from homegrown forage will be of increasing importance to businesses seeking a sustainable future, he adds. ■

Berkshire farming family J Rayner & Sons has been farming in the Windsor area of the county since the 16th Century. The business grows a large area of maize for silage – soil type and weather in the area suiting the crop. Maize in the rotation also helps the business get on top of
black-grass, also reducing the farm’s chemical and fertiliser usage. “A number of dairy farmers in the region who we used to supply silage to have sold their herds and so we are always on the lookout for new outlets for our maize silage, pointed out director, Colin Rayner. ■

Power on the land Mike Williams reports on the latest tyre and track developments in the ag industry. The arrival of tractors on rubber tracks in 1987 was the start of a major success story, and their increasing popularity has provided an opportunity for Global Track Warehouse or GTW to offer a specialist service supplying replacement tracks to customers in the UK and Ireland. GTW is a leading international manufacturer of steel reinforced rubber tracks. The business started with tracks for industrial equipment,
but this was recently followed by a major expansion into farm equipment tracks. Its delivery service for the UK and Ireland covers retail and trade customers, operating from a warehouse in Essex and supplying friction drive tracks covered by a four-year warranty, with two years’ protection for positive drive tracks. Selling under the Tuff Trak name, the tracks are currently available for Agco Challenger. Case IH, Caterpillar, Fendt, John Deere and New Holland tractors plus Claas and Grimme harvesters, and there are also tracks for trailers. As well as selling new tracks, GTW also operates a collection and disposal service for used rubber tracks, providing an official certificate of disposal in the process.
Carrying capacity Global Track Warehouse offers rubber tracks for tractors, harvesters and trailers.
Recent tyre developments include eight additional sizes for the Mitas
Very High Flexion or VF HC range, including tyres for sprayers, high horsepower tractors and for combine harvesters. They can be used at low pressure for fieldwork to reduce compaction, while offering up to 40 per cent more carrying capacity than a standard tyre for roadwork. There are three new HC1000 series sprayer tyre sizes, four additions to the HC2000 series for tractors and the 580/85 R42 size in the HC3000 CFO series for combine harvesters is designed for a 50kph maximum speed with 2.8 bar nominal pressure and an 8,750kg maximum load.
Innovation The winner of one of the gold medals awarded at January’s Lamma machinery show was the Traxion Optimall VF tractor tyre series from Apollo Vredestein. The awards are for innovation, and the Optimall tyres for high horsepower tractors were selected for design features that produce a claimed 7 per cent increase in productivity and a 7 per

Technology advances include the Variable Inflation Pressure, or VIP feature, for combine harvester tyres which operate with frequent load changes as the grain tank fills and is emptied. When commercially available, VIP will allow pressure adjustment from the cab and maintain a constant footprint by
adjusting the pressure automatically to compensate for load and temperature changes.
Heavy duty The Michelin CargoXBib range of special tyres for farm trailers has been extended with additional specifications including the new Heavy Duty version. A special feature of the CargoXBib series is the all-over tread in a block pattern designed to provide an efficient self-cleaning action, plus stability and good handling characteristics for travelling on and off the road . The flat crown
with solid, rounded shoulders helps to reduce scrub when steering on grass and provides even wear for a long life. The Heavy Duty tyres have a similar load carrying capability to standard tyres, but the reduced inflation pressure helps to minimise soil damage and surface rutting.

Tyres and tracks collected for recycling
The company’s purposebuilt tyre recycling centre is located beside the A17, Sutterton, Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire based Envirotyre UK Ltd was founded in 2002 to provide a reliable and competent collection and recycling service for a variety of tyre users. It is now well established as one of the leading tyre recycling companies in central and eastern England. Envirotyre is the only waste tyre disposal company in the county to have a full Environment Agency Permit. It processes tyres used on bicycles to earthmovers, and everything in-between, as well as construction and agricultural tracks. The team at Envirotyre has many years’ experience and its fleet of lorries and vans are ideal for any scrap tyre collection. Waste tractor and truck tyres have been processed by Envirotyre since the company launched. It can manage contaminated and mixed loads,
and any size or weight is accepted. Farmers are offered daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly collection options. Envirotyre also provides rubber sidewall covers for silage pits which have many advantages, including being incredibly cost effective. Envirotyre says that it can collect the full range of agricultural tracks from any site in England, using its own fleet, adding that it has a fully calibrated weighbridge on-site. The business says that its prices are the best in its operating area, calculated either by tyre or per tonne, whichever suits.

As a fully compliant business, Envirotyre offers customers full traceability and peace of mind, it adds.
New entrant in agricultural track market With more than 20 years’ experience in the industrial track market, Global Track Warehouse (GTW) is a newcomer to the agricultural supply industry and as such is offering competitive prices. The company uses premium rubber compounds to extend track life. Wide and deep tread lugs are designed to offer increased traction and better mud release while decreasing track cutting, ground disturbance and vibrations. The company’s joint-less technology and one-step vulcanisation of the tread bars, drive lugs and track carcass results in increased adhesion strength and minimises tearing on of the bars/lugs, it says. It has an improved heavy-duty, 4-layer internal cable system to reduce punctures, abrasions and carcass distortion. GTW says that its 6.5mm hightensile main cables exceed the requirements of modern highhorsepower machinery and greatly increase tear resistance. Increased flotation and decreased compaction allows the machine to work in wet soil conditions, while increased
ground power results in lower fuel usage, lower vibration and the ability to use larger attachments. GTW stocks a wide range of tracks for Case, Challenger, Caterpillar, John Deere and New Holland, with many more models currently in production. The company provides a 4-year warranty on friction-drive machines and two years on those with positive drive. ■

Tyre choice boosting productivity Riviera Produce, which supplies some of Britain’s top supermarkets with fresh vegetables, has praised its Taurus tyres for helping it boost productivity – delivering great tyre life and reliability versus other brands it has trialled. Operating 365-days/year, its fleet of 40 New Holland tractors collectively farm more than 2,025ha across Cornwall, which makes it vital to fit cost-effective and durable tyres. And since using the Taurus fitments, they have found each set delivers an average of 3,500 hours split between field and road operation before needing to be replaced – more than any other replacement tyre brand it has tested. Riviera Produce farm manager, Wayne Simmons, says: “We manage our tractors extremely carefully to ensure we get the maximum life out of every set of tyres we fit. As soon as the original equipment rubber has worn out, we switch to Taurus replacement tyres and it’s really helped to bring our tyre costs down. “The scale of the operation means our tractors are doing a lot of road work, but the performance

we get is superb. Plus, by specifying only two types of Taurus tyres across the fleet it makes it easy to swap machines and tyres between applications to balance out any wear issues.” Supplied by Taylors Tyres in Redruth, Riviera Produce fits the predominantly 18.4R38 and 14.9R28 Taurus Point 8 tyres on its tractors for planting and harvesting work, and the 65-series Point 65 for ground work and cultivation. These radial ply fitments offer impressive flexibility and strength which allows the tyres to absorb impacts and deliver a more comfortable and stable ride; a benefit recognised by Riviera Produce’s operators. The radial construction also helps to optimise fuel consumption, as each tyre’s wide footprint distributes pressure more evenly on the ground to reduce soil compaction. This helps to guarantee optimum traction
leading to improved productivity. Taylors Tyres owner, Matt Taylor, says: “We have been working with Riviera Produce for more than 20 years providing the company with everything it needs including our 24/7 breakdown service. Coupled with the reliability and longevity of Taurus tyres, we help it meet its
customers’ demands all year round.” Taurus tyres are manufactured in Michelin Group factories within Europe – each meeting stringent environmental and quality management standards, and are distributed by Kings Road Tyres, the exclusive UK wholesaler for the brand. ■

New A Series tractors launched The Valtra A Series has become more versatile and comfortable with the introduction of the new A104 and A114 models with HiTech 4 transmission, says manufacturer Valtra. The new 16+16R powershift transmission features 4 ranges with 4 powershift steps each. The transmission has been optimised for field and farmyard work with 6 speeds available in the main work speed range between 4–12kph. A super creeper 32+32R option is further available allowing speeds below 100 metres/hr at 1,400rpm engine speed. The new HiTech 4 models are designed for smooth and effortless operation with minimised use of the clutch pedal. The transmission is operated via rocker switches on the ergonomically placed Control Grip lever. A range of automatic and pre-programmable functions let the operator focus on the implement and work surroundings while the tractor takes care of the shifting. Front-loader tasks can now be handled even more precisely thanks to the new electronic controls, featuring a joystick with optional 3rd and 4th function, SoftDrive shock absorber and hydraulic
implement locking. The A Series HiTech 4 models offer a new level of driver comfort, says the company. A mechanical cab suspension with two Panhard rods for increased stability can be fitted as an option. The level of suspension can be pre-adjusted just like on Valtra N and T Series tractors.
Performance monitoring Monitoring the performance of the tractor is now easier thanks to the brand new dashboard. The instrument panel has been designed for excellent readability even in bright sunlight. The display can easily be adjusted to show information relevant to specific work task. A104 and A114 HiTech 4 models are powered by 4-cylinder Agco Power AWFC engines producing up to 100 and 110hp. The Stage 4 compliant engines feature only SCR

Tractor proves perfect fit for Dorset contractor The combination of the Deutz Warrior 7250ttv’s power and the triple mowers’ working width has enabled WT Frizzle to achieve its prime objective of cutting further in front of the self-propelled forager to enable the tractor to drop the mowers and do other jobs on the same day.
Dorset foraging contractor WT Frizzle’s decision to go wider to increase output also resulted in a different make of tractor coming into its tractor fleet. More power was at the top of WT Frizzle’s agenda three years ago. “We wanted to invest in larger machinery to increase output and improve the efficiency of our services, which brought with it the need for more
horsepower,” explains Alex Frizzle, who runs the family’s agricultural activities together with his father, Tim, and brother Ashley. The business is located at Sturminster Newton, where the Frizzles contract rear heifers on Oxbarton Farm’s 40ha, and oversee their contracting operation. Much of the work is in fodder conservation. It is a sector the family has been involved in since 1982,
when the contracting was started with trailed forage harvesting, fencing and hedge cutting. “It was a way of supplementing the farm,” explains Tim, who worked on his own until three years ago, when the business took a major step forward with the purchase of a self-propelled forage harvester. “We looked at our options which we saw as continuing with the trailed forager, or going down the
forage wagon or self-propelled route,” he says. “On evaluation, we came to the conclusion that the trailed forager was really a farmer machine and the acreage it could handle wouldn’t provide enough work for three people, and that we would need to invest in two forage wagons to make the operation cost effective. The self-propelled was the way to go. It opened up the market and was a way of expanding as Ashley and Alex could get involved when they came into the business full time.” They bought a John Deere 7400 forager, the machine the business is currently operating.
Market analysis A policy of identifying its market has been a significant contributing factor to the firm’s expansion. “We work in a very competitive area and we focus

Livestock on the smaller jobs, with the stress on quality and reliability,” Ashley says. “If we can’t get to a customer we let them know as early as we can but, to minimise the chances of that happening, we don’t over commit ourselves.” A personal service and a willingness to provide a part service or do the complete operation from beginning to end is also important. “When the clamp is full we’re not straight out the gate,” Alex says, “we always help with the sheeting up, then stop for a beer and a chat.” Growth has seen expansion in the forage sector, where WT Frizzle currently handles 1,400ha of clamp silage (1,200ha of grass, 200ha of maize). There is also some wholecrop. Big square baling has been added to the services and between them a MF2160 and two Welgers produce some 16,000 bales (6,000 6-string, 10,000 4-string) in straw, hay and silage. There is still also a small amount of conventional, small bale production. Spraying with a fully GPS-enabled, 3,000-litre, 24m boom machine is fitted in around silaging, dung spreading and hedge cutting with two reach arm machines. The sprayer currently covers 2,430ha a season but there is a growing demand for the
service, says Alex, who is the main operator.
Mower productivity To improve silage quality and tractor utilisation, there was also a need to increase mower productivity for the business. “We needed to put down enough grass in front of the forager to get a good wilt on,” Tim explains, “and, on the same day, also enable us to better utilise the power unit and operator by dropping the mower and putting the tractor and driver on other jobs, such as pulling trailers, where we’d increased capacity from 10–16t.” Where greater mower capacity was concerned, triples were the way to go. “In addition to more output there were advantages including less turning and fewer wheel marks, especially in smaller fields,” Alex says. As a result, for the 2016 campaign, their 5m cut front/rear combination was replaced with a 3-year old set of well maintained, ex-farm Krone triple mowers, which provided a cut width of 9.2m. Then there was the need for a tractor powerful enough to handle the mowers, which led to the introduction of a Deutz-Fahr, to the tractor portfolio. Until then the entire tractor fleet had been a different
brand. “But we considered we needed a minimum of 250hp to ensure that the tractor was always on top of the mowers, even on the sloping ground, and it had to combine weight with stability,” Ashley explains. “But, crucially, it had to be versatile not a one job machine.”
First model The autumn of 2016 saw them demonstrating a number of tractor brands, with particular emphasis on PTO shaft and road work. All had their failings – some in the required power bracket were too big, some didn’t have
a continuously variable transmission (CVT). However, a low hour, 2015-plate Deutz 7250ttv Warrior provided by local dealer MJ Fry was the first model they all agreed on, Alex says. “It had the power we wanted, it had the CVT transmission, which we think enables you to do the job more efficiently and economically, and it wasn’t in a massive frame. It was also fully Isobus ready, which we think is the way to go, particularly with the balers. And it had a comfortable, well laid out cab with a nice finish. It was the best specified 250hp all-rounder we could find.” continued over...

...from previous page
But there was a negative of some concern: the Deutz-Fahr was a relatively unknown make in the region. That issue was overcome by the fact that the Warrior 7250ttv came with a three-year warranty. “The length of warranty allowed us to take a risk on a new brand, giving us the confidence to give the Deutz a chance,” Ashley says. “There was also the promise of a high standard of back up from MJ Fry.” Alex adds that there were no concerns about the tractor’s residual value. “I watch the adverts in the trade press and Warriors aren’t in there for long,” he adds.
Finance scheme The Warrior 7250ttv’s purchase, complete with a front linkage/PTO assembly, was helped, Tim says, by the Deutz finance scheme. The tractor arrived at Oxbarton Farm at the beginning of January 2017 and three months later was fitted with full auto-steer, an upgrade that has enabled its full potential to be achieved. By the end of the year it had done 900hrs, fulfilling its intended role reliably as a multipurpose machine. Adam Jeal, the 7250ttv’s main driver, comments: “It’s very comfortable and is brilliant
on the mowing. All the functions are activated through the multicontroller and the modes offered by the ttv enable the best balance to be achieved between the engine and transmission for any operation.” Other positive features the Frizzles highlight are the Warrior 7250ttv’s good fuel consumption (2-litres/hr when mowing), fantastic working lights and the speed from lock-to-lock provided by the Quick Steer system. “It makes the tractor extremely agile and it’s a feature we’ll look for on future tractors,” Alex explains. “The Warrior’s power means that we have the capability of mowing in the morning and, in the afternoon, putting the tractor and driver on another job; big baling, pulling trailers, muck spreading and, fitted with wheel weights, rolling on the silage clamps,” continues Tim. “Efficiency has been improved and silage quality is improved through a longer wilting time, and the triples’ wide spread facility also allows us to achieve better quality in ‘snatchy’ weather windows. “With the Warrior’s power we also have the means of moving up to a bigger size baler if we see the market for it,” he concludes. ■

Early International Harvester tractors International Harvester was formed when a group of American manufacturers including McCormick and Deering merged in 1902. It made its first tractor with a gasoline engine in 1906 and, in 1912, International introduced the 4.5t twin-cylinder McCormick Mogul 12-25. The model number indicated that the tractor developed 12hp at the drawbar and 25hp at the belt pulley. The smaller Deering Titan 10-20 added in 1915, with two forward gears and one reverse, produced 10hp at the drawbar and 20hp at the belt pulley. Time was running out for the Mogul and Titan when International Harvester launched the Chicago-built Junior 8-16 in 1917. The more modern looking 8-16 had a 4-cylinder petrol or paraffin engine, 3 forward gears and 1 reverse, a multi-plate clutch, band brake and coil spring suspension on the front axle. However, like the earlier Mogul and Titan, it still had an exposed roller chain drive to the rear axle. The International 15-30 and 10-20, which appeared in the early 1920s, had enclosed final drive arrangements and the 22.5hp Farmall Regular, so called because it was suitable for all types of work, was launched in 1924. The radiator was behind the engine on the International Junior 8-16.

The front cover of February 1994 Farmers Guide advertised the latest Big Ford 70 Series tractors with four models in the 180–240hp range. On the back cover, JCB announced that ‘The Fastrac just got some competition – The New Fastrac’. New features included a split gearbox transmission, more power and an improved cab. It was suggested that readers in the market for a new tractor should try a new Fastrac. A feature on ATVs noted that the latest Suzuki ATV would have a fully enclosed rear drive shaft and a new colour scheme. Kawasaki publicised its KLF 400 4x4 with a liquid cooled engine and the latest, most powerful 2wd Yamaha Big Bear had a new 348cc single cylinder overhead camshaft power unit. At £3,725 the 230cc Yamaha Timber Wolf, with permanent 4wd, was the lowest priced 4x4 on the market. Farmers Guide noted there was plenty of evidence to show that machinery rings were making substantial membership gains. A ring in Scotland, founded in 1967, had 333 members while the more recent Essex and Suffolk ring had a target of at least 240 members by the end of the year. John Hodge wrote that on looking through a 1962 magazine he found an item reporting a pay increase of 8 shillings a week for male farmworkers. This brought their weekly wage up to £9.15p (that’s £9. 3s. 0d in old money) for a 48-hour week. Women had an increase of 6 shillings giving them a weekly wage of £6. 17s 6d. By comparison a new Smyth cup feed drill on pneumatic tyres cost £319. There was lots of news on the machinery front in the February 1994 Farmers Guide. Renault announced
two partnership agreements, one with John Deere to supply engines for some models of Renault tractors and the other had established a technical and manufacturing partnership with Massey Ferguson. Ernest Cozens noted that Suffolk tractor dealer Framlingham Tractors had enjoyed record sales having delivered 104 new L-registered tractors from 1st August to the end of the year. Reekie announced a new 3-row potato planter with staggered openers and the latest 3-row Standen EHO planter had a new 1t tipping hopper. Lynx Engineering announced a front linkage attachment and power drive for the new 6-cylinder John Deere 6000 range. Prices started at £1,600 for the linkage and £2,900 for the power shaft. Simba launched a new stubble cultivator with an auto reset trip facility. Bomford introduced a new contractor’s hedge cutter and verge trimmer with a 5.5m reach, and it was noted that a new ROPA self-propelled sugar beet cleaner/ loader unit cost around £250,000, but could handle around 50tph. For something a little different, a John Deere dealer in Suffolk had modified five round balers to handle a substantial acreage of hemp. The crop was grown for its fibre to be used in textile production. With a big increase in the hemp acreage in 1994, John Deere planned to produce a conversion kit for its existing round balers. ■

ALL BRANCHES OF OLIVER AGRICULTURE LTD OLIVERS are a long standing family business with nearly 200 years of experience. In 1947 the business became the first independent CLAAS dealer in the UK, and has gone from strength to strength since that time. The last 3 years has seen significant growth resulting in an expanded sales territory and the addition of three new branches at Reading, Winchester and Petworth. As a result of this expansion OLIVERS has a number of exciting new opportunities within the business and are looking to appoint new dedicated staff to fulfil the following roles:
