With a product range of over 100 different machines with multiple use options, they ensure their products are tailored to suit even the most unique of situations. Their objective is to provide a complete coverage of the slurry cycle, from farm to field, meeting the demands of the client. Storth have recently seen a vast increase in their Export market, to countries such as New Zealand & Russia. This is an encouraging sign that clients old and new require quality British manufactured products - Great news for UK businesses. As
every farm is different, Storth has developed a range of Umbilical Equipment to help accommodate both farmers and contractors. Current market interest is very focused on maximising the use of nutrients via Dribble Bars and Trailing Shoes. Storth’s Vertical Fold Dribble Bar incorporates a close coupled central frame design, giving narrow transport width, as well as the strength to facilitate the optional heavy duty Female A-frame. Prior to slurry being applied to the ground, it is processed by Storth’s own NovaCut Distributor, giving an even-better consistency to the slurry being applied. Storth’s Trailing Shoe Injector, is designed for use on grassland and arable land, for applying slurry to the soil surface with minimum contamination to the plant leaves.

Zetor UK
At the 2018 Royal Highland Show Zetor UK will focus on the lower end of its portfolio with the introduction of the Utilix and Hortus ranges of tractor in the 40 to 70 Hp market segments. The new models are made up of the Utilix HT 45, Utilix HT 55 and Hortus CL 65 and Hortus HS 65. Despite their size, at the heart of the Utilix and Hortus is a fourcylinder engine with ratings at 43, 49 and 67 Hp, add to that a choice of hydrostatic, mechanical and power shuttle transmissions (dependent on model) makes these tractors suitable for a variety of applications including municipal, grounds care and small holdings. Also for viewing will be the Major CL and HS variants both fitted with the same 2.9-litre engines, the 76hp HS model gets a broader spectrum
of gears to play with via a threerange transmission with four gears in each and a splitter, 24 forward gears and 12 reverse are available – maximum speed is 40kph. In addition, a power shuttle affords clutch-less direction changes. Cab space has also been increased, now featuring more steering wheel adjustment, more storage space, a new dashboard, and the addition of a passenger seaton our 2018 models. Also on stand will be the ever popular Proxima CL 100 and HS 100 & 120 models giving the choice between absolute mechanical or power shuttle transmissions from 100 Hp to 120 Hp offering superior value for money. Pushing the Hp higher and finalist in the 2017 Tractor Of The Year awards is the Zetor Forterra range. We will be displaying both the Forterra CL 140 and HSX 140 further demonstrating Zetors product strategy of offering both a low specification and higher specification at every horsepower level.
