Haynes Agricultural offers a wide range of top-class machinery to pair with the all-new, next generation New Holland Stage V T4 FNV tractor.
It includes the renowned Clemens range of undervine and leaf treatment equipment that provides numerous options aimed at helping growers remove the weeds from beneath their vines as well as managing the foliage.
This premium brand range includes the Radius SL Plus, which is simple to operate, can be fitted with different shafts and tools and is designed for environmentally friendly weed control. The Multiclean mulching brush is another popular tool from the well-respected Clemens stable, which includes finger hoes and a range of cultivation equipment specifically designed for vineyards.
The New Holland Braud grape harvester is available from Haynes, with a demo unit expected in June. “This is a very exciting development for us,” said fruit and vine specialist Richard Smith. “We have been wanting to offer the Braud for some time and we feel that the UK viticulture industry is now developed enough for us to offer it.
The over-the-row Braud is a multi-function platform that can also be adapted to other functions including spraying, spreading and trimming, with Berthoud’s Cruis’Air opening up a host of options for growers.
Haynes also supplies twin and triple rotor toppers from the wellrespected, Hereford based mower manufacturer Votex and a range of flail mowers/shredders from Kuhn.
Kuhn’s SDS – side delivery system – mulches cover crops and grass between the rows and delivers it beneath the vines to suppress weeds and retain vital moisture. The manufacturer’s MDS range of variable rate fertiliser spreaders is aimed at specialised operations including vineyards. The company also builds trailed and mounted sprayers with capacites of between 400 and 3,000 litres.
Alongside tractors, vineyards need materials handling equipment, and that’s where Haynes’ JCB franchise comes in to play. The telehandler range runs from the all-new 514-40, which can lift 1.4 tonnes to a height of four metres, through to the 560-90, capable of raising six tonnes to a height of nine metres.
“The 514-40 will be the ideal size for our customers as it is light enough to transport easily between sites and has the right spec for vineyards, together with JCB’s renowned build quality and reliability,” said Richard.
