MEET SOME OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE FARMING INDUSTRY

MLT 741 and MLT 630

Manitou has announced they will be bringing the MLT 741 and MLT 630 to The West Country Farming And Machinery Show. Taking place on 22 February at the Westpoint Arena, Exeter.

Manitou been serving farmers for many decades and have said they are ‘fully aware of the constraints and business issues in the AG market, and offer versatile handling equipment that accompanies professionals in all their agricultural activities’.

The MLT 741-130 PS+ (pictured above) has a 7m lifting height, 4.1 t max capacity and a Powershift transmission. The MLT 630 – 115 V has a 6m lifting height, 3 t max capacity and a hydrostatic transmission. They both combine comfort, performance and cost efficiency.

For comfort, the machine is equipped as standard with an “easy step” for safe cab access, a high visibility overhead grid, aircon, pickup hitch, boom suspension and much more!

Because both of these machines are designed specifically for agriculture, they have an air pre-filter and an auto reversing fan. These features are perfectly adapted to dusty environments.

In terms of profitability, the MLT 741 and MLT 630 combine easy maintenance (centralised position of greasing points, self-cleaning air prefilter, connected

machine) and fuel consumption optimisation (with the Eco-stop and Regenerative Hydraulics options…).

“The diversity of our ranges today meets the needs of agricultural professionals,” Manitou said. “Whether you wish to feed your livestock, move or tow crops, distribute silage, clean your buildings, move poultry crates, or load-up bulk quickly; you will find a handling solution precisely adapted for your application needs.”

The West Country Farming And Machinery Show has 62 confirmed exhibitors at the event, covering more than 9,000 sqm of exhibition space.

Agri-tech project launch in Devon

A PILOT project has been launched to help support the growth of Devon’s agricultural industry.

The £500,000 Devon County Council scheme, named the DATA (Devon Agri-Tech Accelerator) project, is aiming to provide support and research for farmers, growers, landowners, and other agricultural and agritech businesses to develop innovations that will help build a sustainable farming community in the county.

Other aspects of the scheme will involve looking at ways of reducing Devon’s carbon footprint, enhancing farm productivity, supporting the local economy and growing the agriculture and the agri-tech business sector.

The combined efforts of Devon County Council, Business Information Point, Duchy College Rural Business School, and the University of Plymouth will add momentum to the project that will cover four key areas.

This includes research and mapping, building an agri-tech alliance of farmers, horticultural, aquacultural and forestry busi-

nesses, creating a farm innovation pilot and forming a knowledge exchange and voucher scheme pilot, Councillor Rufus Gilbert, Devon County Council cabinet member for economic recovery and skills, said: “A flourishing farming industry is vital for our rural communities, and it underpins the region’s food and drink sector which is so important for our local economy. Through research and support, this project is aiming to ensure that agriculture in Devon can benefit from the use of technology, with farming and agri-tech communities working closely together.

“We’re looking for farm businesses, specifically in West Devon and Torridge, to take part in the farm innovation pilot of the project.

“If you are an agri-tech business who would like to gain financial support to further develop your innovation, please get in touch.”

Celebrating 50 years of trade, Devonbased company Cladco Profiles has seen a consistent increase in demand for roofing sheets year on year.

Now, as the UK’s leading supplier, the company manufactures high-quality, steel roofing sheets in a range of colours, coatings and profiles for agricultural projects of any size.
