KING ROLLER
Cover more acres faster than ever and achieve even consolidation across the field
CP Banbury & Sons farms near Launceston and the family business is mainly dairy and beef with some spring barley grown for home use. Hamblys has looked after the farm’s machinery for more than 50 years and tractors include an Arion 656 and a 530. A 2.7m Liner rake is also operated. “The tractors are very successful,” commented Derek Banbury who is pictured (right) with son James and Hannah Druce. “We deal mainly with Martyn Conway for sales and the service team are excellent too. Dan Jenkins tends to look after our service requirements and the foreman Simon is always helpful. It’s a family firm, run with typical family care regarding after sales service. “Our first Claas tractor was bought as it seemed good value compared with the competition and we have kept it although it is getting on now, as it has few electronics and is fairly bombproof. The new model is more comfortable with its air suspension seat and all its driver aids and everyone likes using it,” he added.
