FIRSTLY ABOUT CELLI THE CELLI COMPANY BASED IN NORTHERN ITALY AND FOUNDED BY MR ALFREDO CELLI HAS SPECIALISED IN DEVELOPING AND MANUFACTURING TOP QUALITY SOIL TILLAGE MACHINERY SINCE 1955.

Built with the aim of producing the “WORLD’S BEST ROTARY HOE,” Celli proudly produces some of the world’s finest rotary hoes, spikes rotors and power harrows.

Their superior product standards, notable reliability and worldwide outstanding parts and service have always been the basis for Celli’s success worldwide, and in New Zealand since 1985.

Celli manufactures powered cultivation equipment with the mindset to: >> >> >> >> >> >> >>

Ensure maximum reliability Cultivate large areas by tilling up to 5ha/hr on some models Limit soil compaction Cultivate the soil up to 60cm depth on specific machines Operate in orchards and vineyards Work on hard and stony soils Till and sow at the same time

5 Here at Farmgard we offer the range of Celli soil cultivators which include three basic types of soil preparation. These impressive models include: >>

The Celli Rotary Power Harrow complete with its famous “Spikes Rotor” is suitable for both pre-worked and un-worked ground – it is very efficient for regrassing, both pre-cultivated or virgin ground for crop cultivation, and breaking in land. The Rotary Power Harrow leaves a finish similar if not better to a Power Harrow, but will handle more difficult conditions with impressive results.

>>

The Rotary Hoe, Celli’s flagship, includes nearly 50 different sizes, widths and models. The Frangor version of this hoe is ideal for seedbed preparation, when a consistently fine seedbed is required.

Designed with every range of horsepower in mind, the Celli Rotary Hoe will always fill the gap. Over 5000 units manufactured annually. Over 1000 units operating in New Zealand today.

>>

Power Harrow, which is largely a fine tilth seedbed preparation machine but in certain types of soil compares favourably in initial cultivation with a Rotary Hoe.

Celli is fully backed in New Zealand with a full two year factory warranty and we endeavour to have most parts carried both here at Farmgard, and with a nationwide chain of trained distributors.

Celli provide the cultivating solutions to suit everybody’s need.

“ WHAT THE OWNERS SAY “

Carl O’Connor, contractor who farms at Matangi, Waikato, says his Celli Power Harrow is fantastic for removing the maize stubble from his 50ha crop on his 100ha property.

“We wanted a machine that could do it in one pass. All I did was a deep rip in one pass with that machine and we had a seedbed.”

He says what impressed him most was Celli’s robustness and power.

“We mulched the stubble first and then just went in with this machine and it would have buried a good 75% of it, and the more compact the ground was, the better it worked.

Taihape beef and sheep farmer and contractor, Greg Bennet purchased a Celli Pioneer 170 Rotary Power Harrow and has used it for pasture renewal and planting feed crops on 11ha of his 343.9 ha property, as well as doing contract work for the local farmers.

“I can go straight in with this (using the harrow) and tow the roller after it, and the job’s done. It makes a far better seedbed in one pass, packs it down at the same time because I tow a roller behind it and it levels the paddock out a lot better.

“It does three jobs in one pass, and all that’s left is rolling the drill over to sow the seeds.”

He says in the past he had to go over a field up to four times before using the roller.”

It saves fuel because you’re not going over the same place four times, and you’re getting a better seedbed. Everyone that I’ve worked for this year say they’ve had their best crops this season.

Northland Contractor Allan Smith bought his Celli Pioneer 260 last year. He says it came with a set of hoe rotors, which are currently on the machine.

“It has a very high axle speed on those rotors and has done a very good job. You’re looking at a very slow speed with the wide gear to achieve efficiency, but you save a lot of passes, and people are now looking at carbon costs per acre.”

Allan says the Celli Spike Rotor is also a good machine for hard country.

“We bought it mainly to have a wider machine and with the hoe rotors it’s given us a versatile machine.

The Celli Spike Rotor makes using the bigger horsepower tractors the much more efficient.

South Island Agricultural contractor Greg McKay saves time, petrol and is making more money using his Celli Tiger 280P Rotary Power Harrow he brought over a year ago.

“It helps you get up hills which means you can do a lot more work more productively.”

Mr McKay who has been a contractor for five years has been able to increase his pay rate since buying his Celli, because now he can do three times the amount of work, so employing him at a higher hourly rate still saves the farmer money.

It does about three passes in one - you’re saving yourself a lot of diesel.
