Mobile phones just got tough!

With all the latest advancements in mobile technology there has never been such a pressure to keep up even in the farming world.

Early Bird deals on maize drills On the run up to the start of our 30th Anniversary, Amazone Ltd has keen deals on offer again for ED and EDX precision seeders. Renowned for their high level of reliability and longevity, the ED offers the fastest drilling speeds available for a conventional individual sowing unit precision seeder and yet still achieves a singling accuracy of more than 99%.

The EDX, with its unique centralised hopper for both fertiliser and seed and in-cab control over the seed rate and stripper system for the ultimate in accuracy, continues to be in a league of its own with a simplicity of set up and an ease of filling not seen before and yet still exception singling at speeds of up to 15 km/h. The EDX comes in widths from 6m mounted through to 9m trailed, with row spacings from 80cm down to 37.5cm, making the precision seeder ideal for rape,

FOCUS ON MERLO...

Merlo

Supercompact becomes even smaller!

The amazing P25.6 Supercompact from Merlo just became even smaller.

Customers can now order the P25.6 L variant, which features a cab with overall height reduced by 150 mm to 1.77m – that’s only 5ft 10 inches, for goodness sake!

Poultry is one obvious application, but it’s requests from all sorts of sectors that have lead Merlo to make the P25.6 L available. Not only have they listened to the market, but they’ve turned out a machine that has the widest and most comfortable cab in the sector (995mm inside width) as well as being the lowest.

Comparisons elsewhere are interesting – most other machines in this sector (1800mm wide) have cabs anything up to 200 mm narrower and 230 mm higher. In these compact machines those are, relatively, huge differences.

So, drivers of small machines don’t necessarily need to be ‘of diminutive stature’ any longer.

And, they see properly all around as well, as one of the features of the P25.6 family is an extremely low boom position for a good view over the right shoulder.

A 75HP Kubota engine and hydrostatic transmission provide very controllable power and the lifting performance – 2500kg maximum load capacity and 5.9m maximum lift height – are equally impressive.

Overall height 1.77 m Overall width 1.80 m Overall length 3.88 m Cab width 995 mm Weight 4750 kg Turn radius (wheels) 3.37 m Max lift capacity 2500 kg Max lift height 5.90 m Max forward reach 3.3 m Capacity at max height 1750 kg Capacity at max reach 1000kg

New P75.9 CS better than a loader?

Andrew Smales is in a good position to make a direct comparison between his new P75.9 CS - the first in the UK - and wheeled loaders; “Many storage companies use wheeled loaders” he says “Whereas we use Merlo telehandlers for all our operations, as they are more compact and we find the visibility far better. In fact, we have 4 on this site, including the very first one that we bought (a 9m P35.9) which has 16,500 hours on it and still going strong!”

J & A Smales Ltd farms some 3,000 acres near Hull, and much of Manor Farm is used for storing grain (up to 25,000 tonnes), oil seed rape and potatoes. As well as a P40.7 Turbofarmer for general farm duties, they also bought one of the first P55.9 CS machines in the country, so the new P75.9 CS is a logical extension of their previous experience.

“The reason that we’ve stuck with the Merlo CS range is simple,” says Andrew “There is nothing better for the drivers! When this yard is busy, there’s a constant stream of lorries unloading and that often means a long day of hard stockpiling.

With the standard cab suspension, I’m confident that the drivers remain alert and focussed and the optional boom suspension means there is little payload loss and decreased stress on the machine”.

Although a convinced Merlo user, Andrew has tried other makes but comments that there’s ‘nothing to compare with the visibility of a Merlo when working and that the P75.9 CS is much easier to get in and out of than the others’.

Andrew is waiting for a new 4 tonne capacity bucket for the P75.9 CS to fully assess its capabilities. So far, the increase of capacity to 7.5 tonnes looks good and the stockpiling performance is certainly a further increase in productivity. Merlo’s EcoPowerDrive (EPD) transmission provides an excellent match between performance and fuel economy, and an auto-throttle facility has recently been added to increase loading efficiency.

NEWS AND VIEWS IMPROVED RATION CONTROL ON KUHN DIET FEEDERS Greater precision in ration formulation and feeding is now possible across Kuhn’s range of Euromix and Profile diet feeders due to developments in the company’s electronic weighing and data management systems.

The KDW 340 programmable weighing facility links to weigh cells on the diet feeder to allow ration components to be loaded accurately and the loading to be monitored easily from a backlit liquid crystal display.

Sufficient memory is available for 200 different ration components (e.g. 25 different rations with 8 ingredients each) with required accuracy adjustable down to 0.5kg per ingredient.

The system allows maximum flexibility by enabling loads to be programmed according to the ration alloca-

tion per animal, or by the percentage of each ingredient per load or by actual weight of ingredient per load.

The KDW 340 automatically calculates the amount of each ingredient required whenever number of animals or load size varies. An alarm system operates to warn of over-loading of ingredients and also to alert the operator to the risk of over-mixing.

The KDW 340 can operate in tandem with the KDR 400, a wireless secondary display that can be fitted in the loading vehicle to make ration control and management even easier and more convenient.

To take feeding management a step further, data transfer is now possible on Kuhn machines using the TMR Tracker. Once the software is loaded onto the farm’s office or mobile computer, this system allows transfer of information with a USB memory device to and from the diet feeder. This system ensures valuable data is retained and managed within the security of the farm’s central information system for reasons of efficiency, convenience and traceability.

New combine header from John Deere A new range of VarioStar cutting platforms, featuring a hydraulically operated extendable knife, is optionally available for all John Deere’s 2013 model year combines.

This versatile platform is available in four cutting widths of 6.1, 6.7, 7.6 and 9.15m, and can be used in all crops and conditions. The knife position is seamlessly adjustable from a control box in the cab over a distance of 500mm, without the need for any inserts or additional parts. The platform can also be converted in less than 15 minutes to harvest oilseed rape, using vertically mounted side knives stored in the platform trailer.

VarioStar is designed to deliver a good crop flow to evenly feed the combine,

and incorporates a split 620mm diameter intake auger to maintain the combine’s high productivity. The knife is guided by a roller bearing which allows high ground speeds and is fully integrated into the combine’s active contour following system.

Specifically designed for European crops and conditions, John Deere’s W, T and S-Series combine range, introduced for the 2012 harvest season, features models from 260 to 617hp (maximum rating at ECE R120), providing even higher levels of grain harvesting productivity and operator comfort.

The top of the range S690 features the most powerful engine available in a combine today, and the largest grain tank, at 14,100 litres or 10 tonnes capacity, which can be emptied in just 105 seconds. In addition, W and T-Series models feature the largest active separation areas in the industry, at up to 3.36m2, and the largest grain tank available on a straw-walker machine, at 11,000 litres.

Key features of the 11-model range availa-

ble in the UK and Ireland include an integrated 66cm (26in) wide rubber track design for S-Series models only, suitable for road speeds up to 30kph, with full hydraulic suspension and an overall transport width of 3.47m; newly designed transmissions and Premium cab; a new cleaning shoe with an active returns system plus a new high performance Variable Stream Rotor on the expanded S-Series range of three models; a wider range of cutting platforms up to 10.7m (35ft), including the versatile PremiumFlow header; an enhanced residue management system; and a wider range of flotation tyre options.

The newly consolidated John Deere range consists of the W540, W550, W650 and W660 conventional five and six straw-walker combines; the restyled fiveand six-walker T550, T560, T660 and T670 models, featuring the company’s established tangential tine separation technology; and the S670, S680 and S690 combines, which now provide even greater harvesting capacity in all crops and conditions.

John Deere’s web-based JDLink telematics solution is supplied free, as standard, with new W, T and S-Series combine models for the first year of ownership.

Kärcher pressure washers – helping farms keep safe and clean

Kärcher’s pressure washers can help farmers keep their vehicles, yards and equipment in superb condition with minimal time and effort, saving time, money, and protecting valuable assets. Pressure washing can also help in the fight against the spread of disease.

When transporting livestock it is essential to fully clean and disinfect vehicles quickly and between each use. A Kärcher pressure washer is the best tool for this job, using a high pressure jet and high water flow to clean all areas of the vehicle thoroughly.

Using a detergent attachment to draw an approved disinfectant through the pressure washer gun (bypassing the internals of the machine) can save considerable amounts of time and result in a more thorough disinfecting of vehicles. Areas that can be hard to manually clean, such as mudflaps, wheel arches and wheels must also be cleaned and disinfected, and using a Kärcher machine makes light

14 | AGRINEWS | Issue 13 | November 2012

work of this as well. With a range of accessories on offer, including wash brushes and chassis lances, Kärcher has the right product to help you keep your vehicles clean and safe.

Similar rules apply to the cleaning of equipment and premises with farm animals, and again a Kärcher pressure washer and its large range of optional accessories can make light work of cleaning tasks around the farm.

A wide range of cold and hot water pressure washers are available to suit different requirements and budgets. Kärcher’s HDS range of hot water pressure washers have a steam option, making them ideal for deep cleaning of vehicle engine bays and underbodies, de-

greasing of equipment and sanitising of yards. The HDS range is also designed to save 20% on fuel costs (compared to previous models) and to be easier to manoeuvre and transport, making it ideal for jobs in several locations around the farm, whilst the new hose reel version with 20 metres of high pressure hose adds even more convenience.

For more information on how Kärcher pressure washers can help maintain the appearance and biosecurity of your farm - and to discuss finance options - contact Kärcher on 01295 752 142 or email enquiries@karcher.co

Kärcher repeats popular £100 cashback scheme Kärcher, the world leader in design and manufacture of cleaning machines, has announced the repeat of its highly successful £100 cashback incentive on new Kärcher HDS hot water pressure washers.

For every HDS machine (excluding upright models) sold through a participating Kärcher dealer between October 8th and November 30th 2012, Kärcher will reward the customer with a cheque for £100.

Using hot water when high-pressure cleaning can reduce cleaning time by up to 40% and improve final results. This is because oil and grease stains emulsify and flow more easily when heated, making them easier and quicker to shift. Hot water also accelerates chemical processes, making detergents work more quickly. On top of all this, the object being cleaned will dry more quickly because it has been warmed by the hot water.

With a wide range of power options there is a machine to suit your specific requirements and budget. Many HDS machines feature eco!efficiency mode, offering fuel savings of up to 20% without compromising cleaning performance. In addition, Kärcher’s machine protector chemical system prevents limescale build-up and corrosion of internal components. The system features a water hardness dial to ensure only the required amount of protector chemical is used, and is backed by a three-year warranty on the heater coil.

NEWS AND VIEWS Cymdeithas Amaethyddol Frenhinol Cymru The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society NEWS/NEWYDDION Big prizes scheduled for Winter Fair

Eight pedigree breed societies are each offering £1000 incentives to encourage their members to enter cattle at this year’s Royal Welsh Winter Fair. The prize money will go to the winner of the supreme championship if the animal is sired by a pedigree bull registered by the individual society putting up the money and will be among a number of attractive cash prizes available to the winner of the Fair’s top award.

Thousands of pounds in prizes are being offered to the winning entries in the 185 classes and special awards – including nine for dressed poultry a new section introduced last year – listed in the livestock schedule which has gone out to nearly 5000 potential exhibitors at the Fair.

They include 51 classes for cattle, 50 for sheep, and 22 for pigs. There are also 18 classes in the lamb carcass competition and 35 in the horse and pony section.

Two special awards are being offered in a Young Handlers competition in the cattle section – one for the Junior Young Handler and the other for the Senior Young Handler – each worth £100 to the winners with £50 going to the reserves. The judge will assess the ability of the handler to control and show the cattle. The quality of the animal will not be judged although it must be shown to best advantage.

A major attraction at the Winter Fair is the sale of the high quality livestock which is always watched by a large crowd of ringsiders on the second day of the event.

Such is the interest that a section of seating opposite the auctioneers rostrum is reserved for buyers, and intending bidders are required to wear a buyer’s lapel badge and to 2 register a number with the auctioneer before the sales begin. No-one is permitted into the sale ring without the badge which is worn for easy identification of the bidder by the auctioneer.

The sale of livestock begins with lamb carcasses in the Carcass Hall at 10.30am, followed by sheep at 12 noon and pigs at 2.00pm. Cattle enter the ring at 3.00pm with the champion and reserve animals going under the hammer at 3.15pm. Entries in the baby beef section will be sold last and the sale of dressed poultry will take place on Monday, November 26, in the Carcass Hall at 4.00pm.

Competition among exhibitors in the horse section is always keen at the Winter Fair especially for the honour of winning the supreme championship and the £100 prize for the best horse shown at the event. A similar cash prize goes to the winner of the coveted Welsh championship for the best Welsh Pony or Cob which is open to the champion and reserves of the four section of the Welsh Stud Book.

Entries for the Winter Fair close on October 17 Tel: 07780 471 481 | Email: sales.agrinews@gmail.com

NEWS AND VIEWS

Theft of agricultural machinery is a serious issue. In 2011 alone, rural crime cost the industry an estimated £52.7 million with only 5% of stolen property ever recovered.

And the impact goes beyond shortterm monetary losses; it also affects the day-to-day operations of a farm.

With a TRACKER unit, farmers can proactively protect their assets.

Figures from TRACKER reveal that it recovered over £15million worth of stolen plant and agricultural machinery and equipment over the last five years and show that a staggering 68% of all plant TRACKER recovers is done so within 24 hours of the SVR unit being activated and 10% of those are recovered within just one hour – good news for farmers who have an SVR unit installed.

However it’s not just expensive machinery that farmers need to protect. 65% of plant recovered

by TRACKER was worth between £10-£20,000, with just 3% valued over £50,000, proving thieves tend to stick to mid-priced vehicles.

With 95% of reported stolen ‘plant’ and agricultural machinery never recovered, a covert tracking device

can really help farmers protect their assets and significantly increase the chance of recovery.

In a bid to further help farmers, TRACKER has joined forces with leading rural insurer, NFU Mutual, to offer the insurer’s members a 12.5% discount off premiums. This comes at a time, when the latest figures from NFU Mutual show a 6% increase in agricultural theft during 2011. Farmers who also mark tractors and plant with CESAR database registration, along with fitting a TRACKER stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) unit, are rewarded with a further 12.5% discount, giving a total saving of 25%.

TRACKER now also offers a battery powered solution designed specifically for plant and agricultural equipment that doesn’t have its own power source. Battery Powered TRACKER Retrieve has been developed using TRACKER’s award winning technology, including its successful and proven Very High Frequency (VHF) radio technology. Fundamentally, this is brought together in a robust and waterproof battery powered unit, proven to withstand the harshest plant usage.

Using its own power source that lasts for five years, the product does not rely on the asset’s battery or indeed the equipment having a battery at all, When the customer reports the theft to the police and obtains a Crime Reference Number, TRACKER activates the unit, which emits a unique signal allowing the police to track the stolen equipment, even if it is being transported or hidden.

TRACKER’s market leading stolen vehicle recovery solutions offer an unrivalled level of protection against theft, as well as significantly increasing the chances of recovery. A covert transmitter is hidden in one of several dozen places around the agricultural machinery or vehicle. There is no visible aerial, so the thief would not know it is there. Unlike other tracking systems, TRACKER works even if the vehicle or equipment is hidden in a garage or shipping container, offering owners the ultimate in peace of mind should the worst happen.

Operated by all 52 police forces, the system is Thatcham approved, offering added quality assurance and the possibility of an insurance discount.

First roadgoing Juke-R ready for delivery Gets new look and more power than original Juke-R concept The first production Juke-R is ready for delivery to its lucky owner & Nissan’s wildest crossover is also making its debut in the virtualworld.

Following phenomenal interest, the Juke-R has made the leap from one-off concept to road car. And it has also been digitally recreated and made accessible to millions as it is set to star alongside the Juke NISMO in the new Gameloft Asphalt 7: Heat mobile racing game.

Gameloft, a leading global publisher of digital and social games, has partnered with Nissan to give fans the chance to drive the hottest members of the Juke family on iOS and Android, smartphones and tablets.

Juke-R

The Juke-R story began when it was revealed for the first time as a oneoff concept in January 2012 in Dubai.

30 | AGRINEWS | Issue 13 | November 2012

With the modified underpinnings of a GT-R under a muscular, re-sculpted Juke bodyshell, the R was like nothing else. A YouTube sensation, the JukeR’s fan base grew exponentially - more than 5,000,000 views of Juke-R videos have been recorded to date.

And so the story of the production version began. Darren Cox, Brand Director Nissan in Europe, explains: “People loved the Juke-R in Dubai - we were receiving offers for the original concept on the street. We couldn’t disappoint such dedicated fans, so with three genuine offers on the table we made the commitment to build a limited run of Juke-Rs.” Design and technical innovations

Work then started to transform the concept into a road car. Built by leading motorsports outfit RML with advice from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E), the Juke-R uses the Nissan GT-R supercar’s drivetrain and suspension along with an FIA-specification roll-cage.

Thanks to the expertise of NTC-E, the production version is more powerful than the concept, producing 545bhp from its 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine.

Thrilling performance is guaranteed,

with 0-62mph estimated to take only 3.0 seconds and a maximum speed of 170mph.

In addition to these technical enhancements, Juke-R #001 also has a new look thanks to input from the experts at Nissan Design Europe in Paddington, London.

NDE’s Digital Team Manager Darryl Scriven explains: “The JukeR’s bumpers and side sills were redesigned, which is normally a very long process using full size models in clay.

However, we managed to condense the development time using full-size viewing on our new 3D-ready projector and power wall, maintaining a fully digital process while providing a true supercar quality finish.”

Design refinements include more definition for the front bumper and new carbon trim on the front and rear cooling vents and the rear aero diffuser, displaying the Juke-R’s pure performance DNA.
