Out and About with the FG team Combine technology yields productivity gains John Deere is among several manufacturers introducing new and updated combines with extra technology for next year.
Variable yields With harvest finished for many, and entering its final phase for others, despite huge variability crop yields appear to have held up….just. As we went to press news of AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds’ first winter wheat harvest trials results came in – including seven sites from East Yorkshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Scottish Borders and Suffolk. The average yield of control varieties in these trials stands at 11.43t/ha, just ahead of the fiveyear average of 11.38t/ha. Whether farm yields will match this slight increase in performance time will tell, although earlier estimates suggested that yields would be considerably down on last year’s. Most winter barley trials are in now and the crop seems to have performed well, with yields nudging above the five-year average in trials. Of the main winter crops though, winter oilseed rape appears to have suffered the greatest variability this harvest with trial yields below the long-term average, however some very good farm yields have been seen in places. Turn to page 16 of this edition to gauge the
And finally… An Italian, a Frenchman and an Englishman were chatting about ‘screams of passion’. The Italian said: “Last night I massaged my wife all over her body with the finest extra virgin olive oil and then we made passionate love – and I made her scream non-stop for five minutes.” The Frenchman said: “Last night I massaged my wife all over her body with a special aphrodisiac oil from Provence and then we made passionate love – and I made her scream for 15 minutes straight.” The Englishman replied: “That’s nothing! Last night I massaged my wife all over with butter. I caressed her entire body with the butter and then made love – and I made her scream for two hours.” “Wow that’s phenomenal!” said the Frenchman and the Italian in tandem, “how did you make her scream for two hours?” they questioned. The Englishman replied; “I wiped my hands clean on the new curtains!”

Weeks of continuous dry harvesting weather after an early start meant little time off for many combine drivers as the opportunity was taken to quickly transfer produce from fields into store. Help is at hand for future years as more manufacturers increase automation to assist operators in the field. Farmers Guide took an exclusive early test drive in Fendt’s Ideal combine, with technology allowing a supervisor to assist during set-up from outside, using an iPad linked wirelessly to the machine. Checking the swath then amending settings to optimise results from outside means fine adjustments can be made on the move, without frequent trips up and down the cab steps, and will benefit new and experienced users. Opportunities to improve efficiency and productivity through technology continue to increase and manufacturers are making the most of it to allow farmers to gain maximum benefit from investment in expensive machines. Experienced operators might regard some aspects of this with suspicion but those who have tried it tend to agree that it allows them to get even more performance from their machines and after weeks of long, tiring days in the seat, most would admit they appreciate the electronic assistance available.
In this issue Fendt, Case IH, Claas and New Holland are all featured with new and updated combine harvesters announced for next year. Too late for this issue, John Deere also announced major product updates and Agco held a press day to explain and demonstrate innovative features of its new Massey Ferguson and Fendt Ideal models.

My local MP, Therese Coffey, who is also a Defra minister, has created a bit of a stir by tweeting a picture of a can of what she described as “amazing Roundup” (glyphosate) at the exact same time that a Californian jury awarded a sum of £226,000 on a claim by an individual that he had derived cancer from the use of the chemical.

Grain Gossip
Some people on social media are suggesting that Defra minister and Suffolk Coastal MP Therese Coffey’s recent tweet in support of Roundup was untimely and misjudged.
It is pertinent to say that the jury lacked any technical knowledge on the subject. The EU has cleared the chemical for use for a further five years but there are signs of European opinion changing on this, with Germany giving up the lead to France on the major decision. The NFU, led by Essex farmer and NFU vice president Guy Smith, is encouraging all farmers to write to their local MP in support of the product. It is the most widely used chemical for weed control in the world and has been a very major earner for Monsanto. I believe this battle will continue in the limelight for some time. One big worry could be the attitude and reaction of the UK Government, especially with Mr Gove in charge. Here in East Anglia we have enjoyed some major rain spells over the past week and today (16th August) it is again pouring. This recent rainfall has turned grass around very quickly and hopefully provided stock a bit more feed across the country. If this trend continues there may be opportunity in September to take cuts of late silage. However there is no doubt that many stock farmers will have a shortage of winter feed. Recent media articles have highlighted the possible effect of the Gulf Stream on European weather although opinions seem to vary. What is generally agreed is that the Gulf Stream is slowing but some seem to believe we may move quickly to another Ice Age and others say that we are going to have more summers in Europe similar to this year’s. 6
The feed wheat market has been pretty active over the past month. At the time of my previous article feed wheat for November was around £164/t. Since then, the November price peaked to a high of £187/t in early August and then dipped back to a low of around £177/t following the USDA world report last week of an increase in end of season stock by 4.5mt. The November value of feed has now slightly increased to £179/t ex-farm. Soft wheat varieties are showing an ex-farm premium of around £6/t. Feed barley for September is around £170/t ex-farm and malting barley is possibly looking at a premium of around £30–£40/t. Outside Western Europe, which has seen a significant yield reduction due to the recent heat, other areas in the world, specifically Australia and China, have also suffered and this will have a negative effect on yield. I think it likely that there could be fairly big swings in wheat values over the next 12 months.

should be very disappointed with himself. Prior to this of course we had the saga of Ben Stokes’ nightclub antics, again fuelled by excessive drink. Although the jury found him not guilty of affray, he has yet to be judged by a cricket disciplinary panel for bringing the game into disrepute. I expect the panel to punish him in some way. On a more positive note, the England cricket team has had two good wins in the first two Tests and have only one more to win to take the series (the result of which will be known by the time you read this). Golf is back in the headlines, particularly with the re-emergence of Tiger Woods as a contender. His turnaround has been remarkable and he is highly likely to be chosen as a wild card player for the American team in the Ryder Cup in Paris, in late September.

Fertiliser Fragments Granular urea prices have firmed as buyers across Europe get active and it is thought that India will come back into the market in September. Meanwhile, in the UK, ammonium nitrate is offered from Hydro and CF at around £254/t on farm for the next 3 months. Phosphate is firming in price as the demand becomes active with DAP (18N 46P) a firm favourite as the establishment fertiliser for oilseed rape. Other compounds including phosphate are also being affected.
Rugby Ramblings Rugby headlines this week are all about Danny Cipriani’s stupid activities in St Helier, fuelled by alcohol in a Jersey nightclub. He was on a pre-season tour with his new club Gloucester. It is reported that having been disorderly in the nightclub he then attacked a police officer when resisting arrest. We await the outcome of this but with his previous alcohol-related activities when he was dropped from the England team by head coaches Brian Ashton and Martin Johnson, he will have done himself no favours with Eddie Jones who had brought him back into England contention for the autumn series ahead.

Black-grass control: Looking at the long-term legacy Winter wheat variety Shabras growing at Syngenta’s heavy land black-grass trials site at Barton, near Cambridge earlier this summer.
Choice of cultivation and differences in crop establishment – Barton 2017 (Establishment counts 14th March) 200
As one of its Innovation Centres, Syngenta’s heavy land trials site in Cambridgeshire offers visitors an insight into how cultivation, rotation and a raft of cultural control methods can affect the control of black-grass over time. Dominic Kilburn paid a visit in the summer. As a location to study the effects of black-grass control over time, crop protection and seeds business Syngenta may have hit the jackpot with its Barton site near Cambridge. As part of Larkrise Farm, two years ago this heavy land site was yielding as many as 650 black-grass heads/m2. At 100 seeds per head, that equates to 65,000 seeds/m2 being returned to the soil each season. An unsustainable situation for any farm, particularly with 2016 tests confirming three types of herbicide resistance present, but as good a place as any, perhaps, to begin an in-depth and innovative study of the long-term effects of a matrix of cultivations, crop rotations and preemergence herbicide applications on black-grass control. And in-depth it certainly is. As well as a focus on the effects of plough-, min-till- and direct drillbased establishment systems across winter and spring cereal regimes, and all aspects of cultural and chemical control of black-grass in-between, Syngenta has also brought its longheld spray application knowledge to the trials site. The benefit of quicker establishment with the use of a seed treatment when drilling late, as well as crop residue management, is also a focus. Furthermore, to add a little extra interest, even propane burners and black-grass seed ‘vacuuming’ have been employed in plots to see if the removal of the season’s seed return 8
can really make a difference. As Syngenta field technical manager James Southgate (right) explains, Barton is more than just a series of trial plots. “In what is likely to be a five-year matrix, we are trying everything here in order to be able to help growers progress with their black-grass control, rather than it standing still or, worse, going backwards,” he stressed. “Black-grass is an on-going problem on many farms and if just one of the pieces of the jigsaw is missing, then it’s very hard for a grower to move forward in terms of overall control,” Mr Southgate pointed out. “Not all farmers are specifically interested in the decisions surrounding the chemistry that’s applied to their crops, but using this site as a hub for farmers we can also demonstrate that what they cultivate with, what they grow, or how they use their sprayer, for example, can make a big difference to the success or otherwise of their black-grass control,” he said.
Different cultivations In autumn 2016, the main body of the trials site was divided into a grid featuring 12 and 24m width strips. The narrower plots all featured winter wheat variety Shabras, and each was allocated a different cultivation method including ploughing, min-till (to a depth of 12–13cm) and direct

drilling (ie no cultivation prior to the drilling). The larger plots were all direct drilled, containing hybrid winter barley, spring barley and spring wheat. Pre- and post-emergence herbicide stacks, as well as untreated, were applied across all crop types and methods of establishment, and plots taken to yield. In autumn 2017, the plots were rotated 90 degrees to overlay 2016’s matrix of rotation and cultivation trials. Although Mr Southgate concedes that this is only the start of a longterm study of the effects of black-grass control over time, he believes that some of the initial findings are already giving visitors to the site some food for thought. Ploughing in autumn 2016 ahead of drilling winter wheat, which was then followed by a pre-em herbicide application, gave the best control of black-grass that year, said Mr Southgate – considerably better than when a pre-em was omitted, he noted. “There was also a 6 per cent difference in control between a pre-em only, compared with a preem followed by an early post-em residual application,” he continued. “You can question whether this 6 per cent difference is worth it – but it’s well documented that 97 per cent black-grass control means that you are standing still, however that extra 6 per cent got us to 98 per cent control. “That’s the difference between continuing to go backwards, or

getting to the point of going forwards and making progress with control. “Always try to maximise blackgrass control,” advised Mr Southgate. “Don’t cut back otherwise it comes back! Stack as many different actives as you can at pre-em,” he said. Syngenta’s pre-em trials included a number of actives including Crystal (flufenacet + pendimethalin) at 4-litres/ha + 60g/ha DFF + 3-litres/ha Defy (prosulfocarb). “This kind of stack provides more control – but on farm, if your seedbed isn’t perfect, then crop safety can be an issue with this many actives, so perhaps it’s best not to put all your eggs in one basket at pre-em but go with as many as are reasonably possible. “A flufenacet base plus 3-litres/ ha Defy should be considered as a minimum for pre-em,” he added. In terms of post-emergence options in 2016 trials, a 0.3-litre/ha rate of Liberator (DFF + flufenacet) + 2-litres/ha prosulfocarb was applied 18 days after the pre-em. “Our advice is to do it within three weeks of the pre-em so that any black-grass that survives the initial treatment will be at the 1-leaf stage for the second application. It’s better to control them early, as these will be the plants that have the bigger heads and produce the greater

Arable return of seed to the soil if allowed to survive,” explained Mr Southgate. “Preventing seed return is the most important thing where progress with controlling black-grass is concerned,” he stressed. Despite the direct drilled winter wheat plot suffering the worst level of black-grass control, interestingly it delivered the highest yield (harvest 2017) compared with the ploughed and min-tilled plots. This, according to Mr Southgate, was due to a lack of moisture in the plots where soil had been moved by the cultivation and subsequently dried out – the ploughed strip delivering the lowest yield.
Seed treatment boost In autumn 2017, plots comparing late September-drilled winter wheat with early November drilled, demonstrated that the delayed drilling date significantly reduced black-grass pressure, continued Mr Southgate, who said that when drilling later the aim is to establish wheat as quickly as possible, to achieve quick growth and smother any black-grass. In trials at Barton with the company’s latest seed treatment, Vibrance Duo (fludioxonil +
sedaxane), he said that while the difference in speed of crop emergence was minimal between treated and untreated seed, one additional tiller per plant was seen where the treatment was used. “Where you really see the advantage of Vibrance Duo is when wheat is struggling and under pressure from black-grass on heavy land. I’m not sure if getting that extra tiller suppresses black-grass additionally, or not, but if crop production is about margin, then it’s likely to give you more yield. “We’re seeing that affect through all types of cultivation,” he added.
Grains of truth In a study to see how different cultivation directly affects grass weed seed in the soil profile, 65,000 rice grains/m2 were applied to the soil surface in plots in 2017 – replicating the number of black-grass seeds/m2 returned in the previous season at Barton. Cultivations included shallow (max 5cm depth), min-till (12–13cm depth) and ploughing (20cm depth). “Establishment systems are so different and it’s important to get growers to think about where returned black-grass seeds will end
A shallow (5cm) pass with a Carrier cultivator in early October gave better control of black-grass ahead of drilling barley in the spring.
up in the soil profile as a result of their cultivations,” said Mr Southgate. The plough’s skimmers took the soil surface and rice into the bottom of the furrow, 20cm below ground, which would have kept it out of the germination zone, and proved less of a burden to the following crop, while shallow cultivation kept the grains close to the surface and within the germination zone. “However, the trial demonstrated that when using min-till, some seed remains on the surface but it is also mixed all the way through the soil profile right down to the cultivation depth. “This was confirmed on the site in 2017 where, although crop

establishment was better with min-till than the plough, there was more black-grass in evidence,” he said. “People have used min-till for many years and it looks good in terms of crop establishment, but you never know where the black-grass seed is in the top 12cm of the soil profile. And if the same regime is maintained for a number of seasons, it’s difficult to know what to do to control the blackgrass, unless you plough early and start again with a stale seedbed.” Mr Southgate said that direct drilling across the plots in 2017 resulted in a thinner plant stand which is likely to result in lower yields this harvest. continued over...

Arable ...from previous page
The combination of drilling winter wheat seed late and into tight soils covered in crop residue last autumn, meant that even in the best-established plots (min-till), establishment was only 50 per cent. However, where a 5cm pass with a Carrier cultivator was made ahead of direct drilling, establishment was much better. “Black-grass dormancy has also been high during the past two years and there was a lot of springemerged black-grass in 2018,” said Mr Southgate. “The lesson is that if you allow light into the crop, black-grass keeps coming through and – worryingly – often outside of the control programme. “Growers must maximise establishment,” he added.
Spring crops Common across the spring barley and spring wheat crop plots over the past two years has been the high level of black-grass populations, said Mr Southgate. “Last year when comparing spring barley versus spring wheat there was no difference in the black-grass populations that came through with the crops. But it is important to know that spring barley reduced the number of black-grass heads by 32 per cent, compared with spring wheat. “This year it has been the same. Spring wheat certainly has its place but if you can grow the most competitive crop, ie spring barley, then do so as there is considerable difference in the number of blackgrass heads/m2,” he advised. According to Mr Southgate, spring barley direct drilled into an overwintered oat stubble in late April last year a was a mess in terms of blackgrass, despite 20 black-grass plants/ m2 being sprayed off ahead of drilling in the spring. In another plot, a shallow (5cm) pass with a Carrier was made in the stubble in early October before being sprayed off prior to the spring barley being drilled. “Here, 80 black-grass plants/m2 were sprayed off – a difference of 60 plants/m2 compared with the uncultivated stubble. “As well as better black-grass control using the Carrier, the crop achieved better establishment too. A little soil movement early on allows the black-grass to come through and then be sprayed off prior to drilling. “Dormancy is a factor here and we know that about 20 per cent of black-grass establishes in the spring.
In the crop that had no cultivation prior to drilling, the black-grass came up later in the crop, whereas the extra cultivation in the autumn helped with black-grass control and crop establishment.” Mr Southgate also posed the question as to whether there would be a benefit from a shallow cultivation in the spring, rather than the autumn, ahead of drilling a spring crop. “We found initial crop establishment was better with goodseed-to-soil contact, but moving the soil germinated more broad-leaved weeds. They were wide rows but better establishment also meant improved competition from the crop. “This method can be risky though as the later cultivation can mean the soil dries out but If you are confident that the conditions are suitable, and the crop will benefit from the cultivation for establishment and competition for the black-grass, then do it,” commented Mr Southgate.
Wide rows With the question of using wider spaced crop rows to help with trash flow when drilling, other plots in the spring trials highlighted the problems associated with black-grass competing for light between rows, causing crops to grow upwards rather than outwards due to the competition. Where spring barley row widths were tightened from 16.70 to 8.35cm, and crop seed rates remained the same (450 seeds/m2), typical blackgrass plant heads were smaller and tiller numbers were reduced, resulting in less seed return.
Where spring barley row widths were tightened, typical black-grass plant heads were smaller and tiller numbers were reduced.

Top pre-em tips from FSOOTY finalist Finalist in this year’s Farm Sprayer Operator of the Year Awards, Northamptonshire-based arable foreman Steve May is responsible for covering around 4,500ha of arable cropping and grassland each year for the home farm (Fromant & Sanders, Kislingbury) and six contract clients. He reckons his typical daily coverage when applying pre-emergence herbicides is between 70–100ha with his 24m trailed John Deere 740 FSOOTY finalist 2018, Steve May. sprayer. In ideal conditions he uses 05 3D nozzles at 200-litres/ha water volume (previously 150-litres/ha), travelling at 12kph and with a boom height of 50cm . Where spraying conditions are compromised, speeds are marginally reduced and he switches to 90 per cent drift reduction nozzles. Mr May admits that factors such as higher water volumes, distances between fields and folding/unfolding booms eat into daily pre-em spraying outputs, and so he provides the following top tips to help sprayer operators mitigate any loss in operational time: • Start early to make maximum use of daylight hours and fit boom lighting to prolong the working day • Run a water bowser or have satellite water tanks positioned around the farm • Watch the weather forecast closely • Don’t drill more ground than you can spray in the weather window available • Make sure chemical is on the farm before it’s required and inform your agronomist when the crop is being drilled
seedbeds ahead of spray applications. “We broke a bale and put extra residue on the surface meaning it was difficult to hit the soil with the herbicides,” he explained. “In untreated plots, ie where there was straw without chemistry, blackgrass germination was less than plots with no straw and no chemistry – possibly because of the lack of light. “But in herbicide treated plots – much less black-grass control was seen where there was excess straw due to herbicides binding with the residue and not the soil. “Residue management is very important in terms of maximising the efficacy of the residual chemistry, and if you are not going to bale straw then it is likely that there will be an effect. “Those drilling straight into trash must spread it as evenly as possible beforehand otherwise it could reduce herbicide efficacy. And, obviously, following on from a crop like spring barley is going to be easier than following a second wheat in terms of the amount of biomass to deal with.”
Application Syngenta has long been associated with nozzle application work and it continues to be a focus at Barton. “Historically we’ve talked about 100-litres/ha with a Defy 3D nozzle but over the past two years we have seen a marginal improvement in black-grass control at 200-litres/
ha compared with 100-litres/ ha applications,” commented Mr Southgate. “Last year however we compared a whole range of water volumes and 200-litres/ha always gave the best control no matter which nozzle was used, although control in plots where Defy 3D and 90 per cent drift reduction nozzles were used was best. “Overall the best pre-em spray control was achieved using a 90 per cent low drift nozzle but there is definitely resistance from growers to using that rate,” he said. “If we can reduce drift then we should be doing it by using drift reduction nozzles,” suggested Mr Southgate. “We are not saying that this means you can spray in conditions when you shouldn’t be, but we know spraying is taking place on marginal days and that’s when drift reduction is key. “They are good for the environment and good for the crop.” In boom height trials, while drift reduction and flat fan nozzles achieved the same level of control at 0.5m above the ground, at a raised height of 1m, when more drift is likely, control using drift reduction nozzles was improved compared with flat fan. “It’s about using everything you can to do the job properly,” concluded Mr Southgate. “Otherwise the black-grass situation will only get worse.” continued over...

Lessons being learned for host farmer Tim Scott has been a tenant on the land that makes up the trials site at Larkrise Farm, Barton since 1998, the year it came into the ownership of the Countryside Restoration Trust (CRT)*. A farmer with a keen eye for environmental stewardship and conservation, Mr Scott has been involved with CRT for many years, as well as having had a longterm relationship with Syngenta particularly where nozzle application work is concerned. He explained that four years ago the site, which he describes as featuring “exceptionally” heavy soil, was relatively free of black-grass and there was little cause for concern. However, in the spring of 2015 he drilled canary seed and after harvest it turned very wet. “There were signs of some blackgrass in the canary seed when it was growing although nothing unusual for a heavy land farm,” pointed out Mr Scott. “But because of the rain following harvest I couldn’t get on with my usual min-till approach to autumn establishment. So I was
forced to plough when I didn’t want to, to try and get a seedbed. It consequently made a terrible job of it and, in places, I had to plough twice and I still struggled to get a decent seedbed,” he explained. According to Mr Scott it was the perfect storm. His ploughing had brought several seasons’ worth of black-grass seed to the surface, highlighting the significance of seed dormancy, and because of the poor seedbeds the pre-em herbicides were also less effective than usual. “It was a lesson,” he concedes. “In hindsight, and with a mess like that, I should have sprayed it all off and waited until the spring. Perhaps as farmers we are sometimes a little short-sighted in that we don’t think back far enough as to what we’ve done and how that might affect the next crop in terms of pressure from black-grass.” In following developments with Syngenta’s trials, of key interest to him has been the moisture retention advantages gained from direct drilling, he said. Direct drilling has delivered
much greener, healthier looking crops each summer compared with ploughing and min-till establishment methods, in addition to an increase in yield. “The three or four more days extra grain fill achieved by direct drilled crops makes all the difference to end yield and I’m not sure if farmers are looking at this aspect of their crop establishment enough,” he suggested. Another message from the trials work he is keen to share is that of water rates and pre-emergence herbicides. He said that in autumn 2016 he began his pre-em spray applications at rates of 100-litres/ ha. However, after discussions with Syngenta, he changed rates to 200-litres/ha and switched to 90 per cent low drift nozzles to complete the pre-em programme. “When applying fertiliser in the spring I noticed two or three fields where weed control hadn’t worked well and these were where I had applied pre-ems at 100-litre/ha. “The same result was also seen very clearly in the trials,” he added.
Barton farmer, Tim Scott.
“A few years ago there wouldn’t have been such a difference in performance between 100- or 200-litres/ha rates but with resistant weeds creeping in, we are now seeing the differences in control being highlighted,” concluded Mr Scott. *Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018, the Countryside Restoration Trust (CRT) was established in 1993 in response to growing fears about intensive and industrialised farming. The CRT promotes a working countryside using sensitive and sympathetic farming practices that encourage and protect wildlife to produce quality food. More info: www. countrysiderestorationtrust.com.

Recommended nozzles for autumn spraying Using the right nozzle, spraying pressure and water volume for autumn spraying is crucial for the achieving best target coverage and agrochemical performance as well as avoiding drift issues, says nozzle manufacturer Hypro. As a general rule, larger droplets with more velocity are more likely to reach the target they are directed at and smaller droplets are more likely to give better spray coverage. In a field situation the optimum is
and back. By adjusting the 3D nozzle size and the pressure that is selected, different balances can be achieved to fine tune the balance between spray coverage and drift reduction as shown in the table below. In poorer spraying conditions, where the highest levels of drift reduction are required, an excellent choice is the Hypro ULD 05 nozzle, which has a JKI rating of 90 per cent drift reduction from 2–8 bar. ■

It is recommended to be oriented alternately facing forward

OSR – Profit from Progress
Wide performance variations reflect challenging season
In the final article in our series, Dekalb trials manager, Anders Christensen pulls together harvest data from the company’s UK research network to assess how key varieties have performed where it matters. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how our farm-based trials have come through this past season. Like the country at large, yields have generally been below average. In just the same way too, we‘ve experienced wide variations between sites, depending on how badly they were affected by late winter waterlogging and pigeon damage, an unbelievably short spring and, of course, the summer drought. Although flea beetle larvae definitely affected our sites, thankfully it wasn’t at the worrying levels reported by some, with crops struggling to grow away from the damage in the cold, wet spring. Even so, in both our replicated plot and field-scale strip trials this season we’ve been especially grateful for the initial establishment vigour of our hybrids, together with their ability to compensate for weather and pest setbacks. An early, surprisingly smooth harvest means that, as I write in the second week of August, initial reports are in from all but our most northern sites. So far our field-scale strip trials managed by growers to their own farm regimes have yielded an average 4.20t/ha – albeit without headlands. This compares with the average of 4.62t/ha from an almost identical set of sites in 2017. As well as lower seed yields than last year, we’ve seen much greater variation between sites – from a low of 2.43t/ha on land suffering particular waterlogging and pigeon
problems, to a high of 5.46t/ha. In 2017, the range was from 3.21t/ha to 5.61t/ha.
Commercial regimes We’ve also seen major performance differences in the fully-replicated farm plot trials benchmarking our portfolio against current RL and grower standards under commercial agronomy regimes. The highest yielding site here averaged 5.28t/ha while the lowest managed just 3.73t/ ha. Interestingly, this was a complete reversal of fortunes from 2017 when the same two sites averaged 4.45t/ha and 5.61t/ha respectively. Across the board, the best trial averages – 4.75 t/ha and above – have all come from sites where the soils have been in good heart, underlining the value of healthy soils in buffering extremes of wetness and drought and allowing crops to recover from pest damage. The better performances have also come from our more western and northern sites, with heavy ground in the east appearing to suffer particularly from a season that was decidedly continental in its climate, with deep winter moving almost straight into high summer. Under these circumstances, it hasn’t been surprising to see our more continental variety types like DK Exclaim, DK Expansion and DK Exception with a steadier growth pattern and later maturity performing strongly alongside the faster-
developing, earlier maturing types that have traditionally better suited the UK’s Atlantic climate. Indeed, RL Candidate, DK Expansion, topped our main farm strip trials with an average seed yield of 4.54t/ha and DK Exception averaged 4.33t/ha. However, the fastest developer in our current portfolio, DK Expedient did well too, also performing comfortably above the trial average at 4.39t/ha. DK Exclaim was only included in one of these trials and one of the lowest yielding at that. Nevertheless, it out-performed every other variety on the site at 4.51t/ha – a massive 134 per cent of the trial average. It went on to underline its robustness in a 12ha field on our Yorkshire strip trial site where it averaged 5.62t/ha despite 6 weeks under water in the winter and a violent hail storm on the eve of harvesting. The variety also stood out as the best performer in our replicated farm plot trials, averaging 4.83t/ha or 109 per cent of the highest gross output conventional variety on the East/ West Recommended List, included as a benchmark. DK Expansion and DK Expedient performed strongly here at 106 and 105 per cent of the RL benchmark too, with DK Exception matching grower favourites, DK Exalte and DK Extrovert at 103%. At the highest yielding farm plot site, DK Exclaim and DK Expansion both delivered an impressive 5.6t/ ha (109 per cent of the East/West RL benchmark variety) just ahead of DK Expedient and DK Exception at 5.5t/ ha (107 per cent). Despite being badly hit by hail at early flowering – damaging pods,

stripping buds and lacerating stems – DK Exclaim showed especially remarkable recovery abilities on the lowest yielding site, delivering 107 per cent of the 3.73t/ha trial mean and 108 per cent of the East/West RL benchmark.
CL varieties delivered The two Clearfield varieties included in our farm plot trials – DK Imperial and DK Impressario – didn’t disappoint either. They averaged 4.36t/ha and 4.33t/ha respectively to stand within 2 per cent of the nonClearfield East/West RL benchmark. And on the highest yielding site, they both delivered 5.0t/ha. A final word about our especially impressive second current RL Candidate, DK Exsteel. This matched DK Exclaim at the top of our replicated farm plot trial table with a seed yield of 107 per cent of the mean and 109 per cent of the East/West RL benchmark. It also came joint top with DK Expansion in the farm strip trials in which it was included. So it’s clearly one worth watching. ■

Make the most of September drilled OSR Despite the desire for early sowing to minimise the flea beetle threat, Agrii oilseed rape specialist, David Leaper (right) does not consider it an attractive option for most this season. Instead, he advises growers to take advantage of what could be a particularly good early September establishment window. “Sowing OSR into dry ground in the hope of rain or after the first decent rainfall of the autumn is not something I’d ever recommend,” he insisted. “The main danger is having enough moisture for germination but nowhere near enough for reliable establishment; especially with the soil as dry as it is at depth this year. “To avoid this I always prefer not to drill until I‘m sure there’s sufficient moisture in the ground. Which is likely to mean early September drilling in many cases this season. “Although this might not be an attractive proposition for growers in the worst affected areas for cabbage stem flea beetle, in other areas the very warm soils after the summer drought should really help establishment into September. As should baling and removal of cereal straw to take advantage of high livestock industry values – both by removing nitrogen lock-up and in reducing slug shelter. “Indeed some might consider drilling well into September, if conditions allow. This could be the year where growers make the most of deliberately delaying sowing; a practice always advocated by the experts at Rothamsted to escape the flea beetle migration altogether. “Rapid, even establishment is the number one priority with later-sown OSR,” he pointed out. “So, in addition to vigorously establishing varieties, you need ones that are faster developing in the autumn to take the greatest advantage of diminishing daylight hours and temperatures. The particular hybrids our variety trials show to be the fastest out of the blocks are also better at growing away from poorer
establishment conditions and higher pest pressures. “If you have concerns over SU residues after late spring applications and a bone dry summer which will have limited degradation, do consider growing one of the two topperforming SU-tolerant Clearfield varieties we’ve found to be especially vigorous and fast-developing. “Whatever variety you choose you should have it treated with the specialist growth-stimulating seed dressing, Take-Off. Ten years of our research shows how valuable its combination of phosphite and pyroglutamic acid is in improving establishment and increasing rooting and crop biomass.”
Seed rate and depth Mr Leaper sees the correct seed rate and sowing depth as particularly important in getting Septembersown OSR away reliably. He suggests increasing seed rates slightly – from 50 to 60 seeds/m2 for hybrids and from 70 to 80 seeds/m2 for conventional varieties, to help offset losses as drilling gets later. However, he warns that increasing rates further will almost certainly be counter-productive, creating weaker, less productive and more difficult-tomanage canopies. Because OSR seedlings struggle to emerge from much deeper than 5cm, and seed on the surface can be so variable in its establishment, he stresses the best establishment comes from sowing at a consistent depth of 2–3cm. “We’ve found seedbed fertilisers give a greater boost to rooting and speed of development and, for the best moisture preservation and seedto-soil contact, effective rolling within a few hours of sowing is essential,” Mr Leaper added. “This will also reduce early pressure from slugs and flea beetles and create the best conditions for residual herbicide activity.” ■

As much as 90 per cent of oilseed rape crops and most of the wheat had been harvested, said North Yorkshire-based AICC agronomist Andrew Fisher, speaking in mid-August, however wheat harvest further north, in Durham, was just getting underway. Oilseed rape had yielded well, the thinner crops earlier in the season filling out nicely, resulting in “a good average” of 3.9-4.0t/ha and the best at 4.3t/ha, he reckoned. “We had pockets of downpours in June, but, like a lot of the country, most places were dry for two months and I think that the good establishment last autumn and fertile land kept them going through the dry times,” commented Andrew. “Like the rape, the wheats on the most fertile land have also done well, delivering 11.5t/ha on the best sites compared with the really heavy land crops that sat in wet soils last winter and which struggled to tiller, and ended up yielding around 7.0–7.4t/ha. “Winter barley did well too on the better land, it matured before the drought hit and also provided growers with good yields of straw which has value,” he added. According to Andrew, a significant amount of recently-arrived rain will set things up nicely for OSR drilling, although he admits that, in seasons like this, it’s hard to hold growers back when their fields are cleared by an early harvest. “One of my growers has already started drilling rape into winter barley stubble which is a bit early for my liking. “Ideally the last week in August is best otherwise crops get too lush and then have to be held back with PGRs,” he pointed out. He said that most of his arableonly farms will be establishing OSR with a band of DAP next to the seed to encourage quicker establishment, while his mixed farms look to spread slurry or muck on fields to drill into,
to give crops a boost and grow away from the threat of flea beetle. “One farmer suggests that chicken manure gives establishing OSR crops the best kick-start due to its high loading of nitrogen, and, based on last season, it seems to work as he didn’t have to spray for flea beetle at all,” said Andrew, who reminded growers that rolling the seedbed is critical, especially if a subsoiler has been used to drill the crop.
Early post-em “A few of my growers still prefer the option of applying a pre-emergence herbicide to OSR, but I prefer an early post-em treatment when you know what’s coming up. “If cleavers is the target then a Centium (clomazone)-type product can be applied at pre-em, while some have switched to Clearfield varieties and go with metazachlor at the cotyledon stage before the CL herbicide is applied. “Banastar, with its three actives of dimethenamid-p + metazachlor + quinmerac, is something I use for poppy and shepherd’s purse at early post-emergence,” he added. Andrew suggested that there was very little between varieties – hybrid or conventional – in terms of speed of establishment in the autumn and stressed that performance at that time of the season mostly came down to seedbed conditions and available moisture. He also noted that there had been a slight shift in favour of growing conventional types by his growers.
A growing menace While meadow-grass remains the greatest threat in the region to winter wheat, black-grass continues to be found in ever increasing numbers. “I’ve recently had long conversations with a grower who wanted to put a second wheat in a field which has high black-grass populations and the message that they must not drill until at least October is one that must be hammered home,” stressed Andrew. “My growers don’t like to drill late especially when they have harvested crops early, and the start of October

Arable is probably about the latest they can be reasoned with to drill. One of my growers who farms at 600ft wanted to start drilling wheat in the last week in August but hopefully I have persuaded him not to! “We may find that black-grass germinates early this autumn because of the heat over the summer months and some growers have already been out with stubble rakes to get it to chit. “There’s not much sign of slugs as yet but you can bet they will be hungry when they eventually get the rain to bring them to the surface.” Meanwhile, for meadow-grass, Andrew will recommend a pre-, or early post-em application of Liberator (flufenacet + DFF), with a follow up of pendimethalin if required, and timed with an aphid spray. Over recent weeks, Andrew has been soil sampling across many of his farms and will be advising growers to make the most of farmyard manures in an attempt to reduce the overall cost of nutrition, particularly with the price of fertiliser on the rise. Finally, although yield is of course important, Andrew’s wheat variety selection for the season ahead prioritises those with resistance to septoria, as well as stiff-strawed types such as Grafton, which performed very well this season, bearing in mind his mixed farms and the value of straw. Andrew Fisher can be contacted via email: conker.fisher@farming. co.uk, or tel: 07836711918.
Notts Nottinghamshire-based agronomist Christina Scarborough said that there had been a wide variation in yields this harvest and cited the prolonged wet weather in the late autumn and winter that did the damage to the poorer performing crops, more so than the drought during the summer, she thought. “That said, some of the newer wheats we tried – including Shabras and KWS Siskin – did very well, and it could have been because of their extra vigour in the autumn which allowed them to get their roots down a little further. “Those crops didn’t die off so quickly in the summer and remained greener for longer, and they were
certainly the standout varieties for yield,” Christina added. Speaking in mid-August, she said that growers were patiently waiting for sufficient moisture to begin oilseed rape drilling, however, with the ground still “rock hard”, there was little point in trying to pull any machinery through the soil at the moment. In terms of up and coming OSR weed control, she suggested that a pre-emergence herbicide in oilseed rape was a risk not worth taking and that growers are better off waiting to see the plant stand before applying a herbicide. “A pre-em can also cause crop knock-back, just at the time when you need it to be establishing fast,” she explained. “Three years ago I had some OSR trials within a field, where a pre-em was not applied, and the trial crop was three times the size compared with where a pre-em had been applied. “While missing out on a pre-em might not be ideal for those that might also want to apply glyphosate if there are surface weeds, it’s advantageous to go in at full cotyledon with a metazachlor based product, which can do a good job without knocking plant vigour.” With cranesbill being one of the biggest weed challenges, Christina said that she is looking forward to trying the latest post-em OSR herbicide from Corteva, containing Arylex, which is claimed to have good control of cranesbill, cleavers, poppy, shepherd’s purse and fumitory.
Cereal Herbicides
Wheat establishment When sufficient rain does arrive, and cultivations ahead of wheat drilling can get underway, Christina said that she is hopeful that this season’s pre-emergence herbicide stacks can mirror the performance of last year’s. “I had fields of wheat that went from being written off in 2017 because of black-grass, to producing good crops this year. “It was the combination of autumn pre-ems working exceptionally well in combination with use of new grass weed product Monolith (mesosulfuron + propoxycarbazone) in the spring.” With grass leys also on her mind, some much-needed rain will go a long way towards helping to produce the fine tilth required to establish them successfully, she concluded.

Tillage options must suit your grass weed control
A robust herbicide sequence only carries you so far in the fight against grass weeds, so cultivation methods still remain a pivotal part of any control programme. Here we get the opinion of three farmers adopting different tillage systems to combat their particular weed burden. The rising cost of production and increasingly adverse weather pushed Shropshire farmer Tim Ashton (right) to give no-till farming a go on his 300ha of cereals and pulses. Three years on and the impact that the new system has had on the weed burden has been surprisingly beneficial. “Sterile brome under our noninversion minimum tillage system was becoming an increasing problem. Since transitioning to no-till, it has practically walked off the farm,” he explains. By easing their crop rotation and leaving weed seeds on the surface to chit, Mr Ashton says they now have a much better understanding of the brome’s biological profile as well as observing huge savings in fuel, machinery and crop chemistry costs. “Leaving weed seeds on the surface as we do means they are left to rot or be eaten by birds. One of our most valuable pieces of kit is a set of rolls. We go over with these to ‘wake up’ surviving seeds and encourage them to chit before drilling. Then you can just go over with some glyphosate before your crops come through,” he says. “We’ve found we need less crop protection chemistry in no-till
fields because you are not establishing weed seeds inconsistently by chitting them throughout the season. “No-till has certainly helped with our weed control and soil health,” he adds.
Black-grass burden For black-grass burdened Chris Byass (right), who grows 110ha of wheat, barley, oilseed rape, vining peas and borage near Driffield, Yorkshire, his no-till system has improved soil health and biodiversity no end, but weed control is variable. “No-till farming hasn’t made a lot of difference for us in black-grass control. When we were ploughing six years ago black-grass wasn’t an issue, but because we share a combine with a neighbour the seeds have moved. Now we are fairly on top of grass weeds, but we have two fields with major problems, so it is by no means cured. I don’t feel like ploughing would be the answer to black-grass control because we need to keep the seed on the soil surface.” Chris uses a Horsch CO4 drill with narrow JJ Metcalfe tines to go through chopped straw without pushing it into
the ground, as well as a Moore drill for peas and direct drilling into cover crops. Cover crops play an important role on the farm, retaining nutrients and improving soil structure. “I don’t like to see bare soil so if there is any chance to get a cover crop in I will. This year I am trying something different – I have just bought a harrow which I’m going to pass through the stubble, followed by a roller to get a chit from black-grass seed before drilling. Late drilling in no-till isn’t really an option here so I encourage chitting and then spray. We then follow up with Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) on autumn cereals and Atlantis/Pacifica (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) as required in the spring.”
Rotational ploughing Rotational ploughing has long been recommended as one of the key building blocks for longterm black-grass control and, with methodical ploughing, one farmer has seen black-grass numbers go from being critically high to barely in existence. Matthew Denby (right) who works 720ha of heavy clay and medium marshland on the family farm in Lincolnshire trialled a number of different methods to tackle black-grass on his farm, but each time the problem seemed to worsen resulting in yield losses. “We now use a plough for cereals two in every three years for black-grass and a Simba SL with low disturbance legs for drilling oilseed rape, which has been very valuable as
If growers are turning to conventional ploughs to bury weed seeds, there are crucial elements that must be considered to prevent seeds re-emerging next season.
a cleaning crop.” The level of black-grass on the farm has fallen so much that this season Mr Denby was able to simply hand rogue any stray weeds, alongside a robust pre- and post-em herbicide programme. “Ploughing in late July to early August after rape means we can create a really good seedbed ready for the autumn. This allows time to create a stale seedbed for delayed autumn drilling in dirtier land, which can be treated with glyphosate. Soil is also more likely to be moist during this time which sees better efficacy from the residual herbicides.” With heavy soils and limited options, other black-grass control methods aren’t always possible, but ploughing to get the best establishment followed by a cleaning crop of rape keeps the seedbank at depth where it remains manageable, he suggests. “Late drilling on a min-till system poses too much risk for us and spring crops are too unreliable leading to wet soils. For us, the best black-grass control, most profitable farming and wheat yields still come from ploughing.”
Less favourable Harper Adams visiting Professor in Agricultural Engineering, Professor Dick Godwin, says that improving soil drainage would go a long way towards helping to reduce blackgrass, but if growers are turning to conventional ploughs to bury weed seeds, there are crucial elements that must be considered to prevent seeds re-emerging next season: “Conventional ploughing can still have a place in some weed control rotations if there are weed seeds on the surface that can’t be got rid of any other way,” says Professor Godwin. “There is evidence that ploughing deeply and pushing the seeds to a good depth will bury them, but you mustn’t then plough deeper the next year because it will bring all the seeds back up to the surface. Make sure you bury deep and then work with shallower cultivations or no-till in the successive years. “You must also set the skimmer on the mouldboard plough to make sure the entire trash residue and seeds go into the bottom of the plough furrow. Skimmer setting is critical if you’re going down the plough route,” he warns. ■

Address hard water issues for better weed control Many growers know they have hard water but haven’t considered the extent of its impact on herbicide performance.
Reasons for poorer than expected weed control are often varied and complicated but a factor in their performance is spray water quality, as Farmers Guide finds out in this special report. Resistance and loss of actives are well known impediments to successful herbicide programmes in all crops, but a factor that’s often overlooked is spray water quality. Many of the active ingredients that are routinely used to control key weeds in all crops are highly susceptible to the properties of hard water. Addressing this issue will improve control rates by ensuring the active ingredient is delivered in its active chemical form and functions as it should inside the target weed species, says De Sangosse technical manager, Rob Suckling (right). “When you consider that left uncorrected, hard water can de-activate certain herbicides, ultimately reducing the dose of active delivered by as much as 30 per cent, you realise what an impediment to performance it can be. Glyphosate manufacturers have long supported the use of a water conditioner, such as X-Change, to maintain the required level of efficacy and new stewardship guidelines from the Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG) endorse this position,” says Mr Suckling. Water hardness is often confused with pH, but it is important to separate these two properties as
their effects on pesticides are very different, and it is the former that causes most concern.
Calcium carbonate Hard water is primarily the result of high calcium carbonate levels, but other soil minerals such as magnesium and iron also contribute to hard water. These mineral salts dissolve in water and release ‘cations’ that can bind with the herbicide in a chemical reaction that renders the herbicide less biologically active. A recent survey of water hardness has highlighted just how severe the issue is, particularly to those in the east. Approximately 60 per cent of the UK is affected by ‘hard’ (more than 200mg/litre calcium carbonate (CaCO3)) or ‘very hard’ (more than 300mg/litre CaCO3) water but it is the east of England that is most heavily affected (see map). Using data obtained from local water authorities, Ipswich was identified as the town with the hardest water at 423 milligrams of calcium carbonate per litre. This is 44mg/litre higher than Colchester, the second hardest water town in the UK. Boston (363mg/litre), Luton (360mg/litre), Norwich (359mg/litre) and Watford (358mg/litre) are also heavily affected. In contrast, water in Scotland and Cornwall is considered
soft with a calcium carbonate concentration typically below 100mg/litre. These naturally occurring soil minerals are collected as surface or ground water moves over or through the ground on route to the tap. A greater concentration of
cations in the water leads to a higher percentage of herbicide lock-up. In a similar way that limescale forms in a kettle, these salts go through a change of state as the solution dries on the leaf surface taking on a solid form that is unable to penetrate the leaf surface. The extent to which a herbicide is negatively affected can be determined by the strength of its acidity in solution. This is measured using the pKa scale. The lower the pKa value, the more acutely affected it is by hard water. Herbicides with a low pKa value are generally accepted to be at risk of significant lock-up (see table over). For instance, in independent trials involving pyroxsulam, grass weed control was improved by 18 per cent with the addition of a water conditioner. This is a significant boost to performance, says Mr Suckling.
Grower understanding For Frontier Agriculture eastern region agronomist Neil Leech, hard water is an issue he takes seriously, but convincing growers it needs addressing is largely a case of ‘seeing is believing’. Frontier Agriculture supplies continued over...

AquaScope, a blended water conditioner containing a range of complexing agents to nullify the effects of cations, a pH buffer, a humectant to promote herbicide uptake, and an anti-foam. “I regard addressing the threat posed by hard water as part of my obligation to the grower. It is inexpensive to correct and is fundamental to achieving a net reduction in weed seed return. In trials we have seen a 15 per cent increase in black-grass control when glyphosate is used with AquaScope,” he says. “AquaScope has been heavily tested and its contribution to performance has been recognised in independent trials. When added to Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) and BioPower (an adjuvant), blackgrass control increased from 68.3 to 86.7 per cent. This is significant and goes a long way to reaching the necessary 97 per cent control needed to beat black-grass,” he says. Promoting the benefits of water conditioning is largely an educational issue, explains Mr Leech. “The effect cations have on spray performance can be difficult to explain because it is often hard to see the
effects of a gradual fall in efficacy. We know glyphosate is heavily affected so urge growers to apply it with AquaScope to see the benefits for themselves. Once they see the gains in control, any scepticism vanishes.”
Not just the east While those in the east may have to suffer the hardest water in England, it is far from soft elsewhere. For Hutchinson’s agronomist Kieran Walsh, the chalky soils of the Cotswolds, Chiltern Hills and North Wessex Downs mean high calcium levels are a constant barrier to spray performance. “Calcium carbonate levels vary from 210–340mg/litre in the Cotswolds. This cannot be overlooked. Once concentrations pass 200mg/litre the effect on performance of products such as glyphosate and clethodim is evident,” he says. “Independent trial data show that use of a water conditioner can lift the performance of clethodim by 30 per cent one month after application. In situations where enhanced metabolic resistance to dim herbicides is a known concern, delivering a higher dose of active can mean the difference between control or failure,” says Rob Suckling.

Where possible Kieran Walsh encourages rainwater harvesting, but for those where clean rain water is not an option, he advises the use of X-Clude, another blended water conditioner containing complexing agents, pH buffers, a humectant, and anti-foam.
“Many growers know they have hard water but haven’t considered the extent of its impact. Come the early spring the weed control benefits from having conditioned the water in the previous autumn are highly visible and attitudes change,” says Mr Walsh. ■

Soil management
Mythbusting
Steve Townsend winds up his special Myth-busting series which has featured in Farmers Guide over the past few months by addressing perhaps the most crucial soil management myth of all.
‘Healthy soils will make your life easier’ Healthy soils do a lot for us. They reduce our need for fertiliser. They make our crops much better at dealing with drought and flood. They help us manage black-grass and other problem weeds. And they give us healthier crops, less prone to disease. Our cropping life is much less risky and far more sustainable with healthy soils. But one thing it isn’t, is easier. If anything, in fact, it’s more complicated and demanding. How so, I hear you ask. Surely, leaving crop residues on the surface and cutting down on tillage means more time. Just as improving soils with organic manures and cover crops means less ‘climate anxiety’. And getting soil calcium levels as well as pH right works wonders for soil structure as well as fertiliser responses. Of course they do. However, the key thing we have to appreciate about improving soil health is that it’s not one of the easy ‘out-of-thecan’ agronomic fixes we’ve become so used to over the years. Ask any organic grower. Healthy soils take real effort and not a small amount of time to achieve. And maintaining them is altogether more difficult
than the ‘more-metal-through-theground’ approach that has become the soil management solution of choice in far too many cases. Think about it. We’re managing around a cow’s weight of biology per acre at the moment and we’re increasing our ‘stocking rate’ to the equivalent of five cows. More productive? Yes. More economic? Almost certainly. But easier? Hardly. Healthy soils require considerable thought and planning to achieve in the first place. We can’t just ladle on lashings of whatever organic manure is easiest to get hold-off, for instance. Instead, we have to apply manures that provide the best support to soil biology as well as extra carbon; apply them in the right amount; and apply them in ways which don’t damage the very soils we’re trying to improve. Or perhaps, as I prefer, we can rely on cover cropping, crop residues and the least possible tillage to do the same job with far less risk. But this isn’t easy either. If winter cover crops are to really support the biology and structure of our soils we have to manage them right. We have to select the right mixtures of species, establish them well enough,
and destroy them effectively far enough ahead of spring drilling to give us the best conditions for the following crop. Otherwise we’re likely to find them little more than a costly waste.
Crop residues Equally, if we want to make the most of our crop residues we should leave them on the surface rather than incorporating them. Again, though, this is easier said than done. It demands the most effective straw chopping and spreading, together with the right approach to dealing with slugs and autumn wetness – both of which can cause difficulties. Which brings us to direct drilling. I have absolutely no doubt that the no-till approach is the most sustainable way of improving soils. However, we can’t just move into it overnight and expect everything to get better. We need to steadily reduce our tillage over several years to allow the soil structure to build from depth. We have to use heavier cultivator drills with particular care in the early years. Initially too, we have to be prepared to provide some extra
nitrogen, phosphate and sulphur to support our developing soil biology so it doesn’t consume these key nutrients at the expense of our crops. At the same time, of course, in securing the most resilient soils we also have to think calcium as much as pH with our liming. That way we make sure we get the best nutrient balance for soil structure and functioning as well as crop nutrition. I’d like to be able to tell you that life gets easier as soil health improves. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. Mainly because the high performance biological engines our soils now have need to be continually maintained and tuned to keep them running sweetly. After all, five cows to the acre take far more feeding and husbandry than one. And the consequences of getting things wrong are far greater if either is lacking. If it can’t get enough winter nutrition from cover crop roots, for instance, the soil biology can rapidly consume our carefully built-up carbon store. Or we can hit it, and our natural soil structure, hard with a single ‘killer’ cultivation at depth. No, healthy soils will not make our lives easier. But I know improving soil health will make our cropping so much better in all the ways I’ve touched upon in this series. And, in my experience, at least, few of things that are most worth doing in life are easy.

Weather makes for difficulties in trials at new SPot Farm The new SPot Farm North event proved popular.
emerged growth if used postemergence,” he warned.
N rate and timing
The launch of the AHDB SPot Farm North took place in midJuly at RJ & AE Godfrey, Brigg, North Lincs, and it proved so popular there was a waiting list to attend the event. Heather Briggs reports. Conditions have not been ideal for trials and demonstrations this year, which was noted by all the researchers working on the project. ”The cold, wet spring resulted in planting taking place five or six weeks later than average, and then being subjected to hot, dry weather causing heat and water stress,” said RJ & AE Godfrey director Alex Godfrey, the SPot Farm host.
Herbicide trial The race to find the best substitute for linuron, which has not had its licence renewed, is proving to be difficult, said Richard Austin Agriculture researcher John Keer. Herbicide demonstration plots at the event had been set up by Graham Tomalin, consultant agronomist at VCS Potatoes, to assess a number of potential alternative actives using standard crop timings. These were presented by Dr Keer (right). While there are a number of alternative residual herbicide active ingredients available, there is no ideal substitute, said Dr Keer. “With this demonstration we will be assessing the performance of three non-selective contact preemergence herbicides across 26 varieties,” he explained. “In addition, we will be looking at varietal effects
of post-emergence applications of metribuzin, rimsulforon and bentazone in the same varieties.” All the residual mixes had worked well on the demonstration plots, he noted, adding that growers on heavier soils had experienced more problems this year. “The results from 2018 may be misleading as it is such an exceptional season. The late planting together with a lack of rainfall means that the damage which would normally be caused by the metribuzin on lighter soils, was not observed in this trial,” he cautioned. “For effective weed control you need to tailor herbicide treatments according to the weed species you are dealing with, the soil type and the tolerance of the variety to the treatment.” A further challenge is that varieties susceptible to metribuzin are not necessarily susceptible to bentazone, he said. Moving on to talk about non-selective contact herbicides, he pointed out that both Shark (carfentrazone) and Gozai (pyraflufen) have similar capabilities, but no activity on grass weeds. “They both work well on most broad-leaved weeds, but need to be used strictly pre-emergence of the crop as they will desiccate all
A replicated, large-plot experiment looking at the relationships between nitrogen rate, yield and packing quality is being run by NIAB CUF senior research associate Dr Mark Stalham (right). However, the high winter rainfall led to many growers having to plant in less than ideal conditions, creating compacted areas which the crop roots find difficult to penetrate, all followed by severe drought. This combination has led to a decrease in available soil N. This was compounded by late planting, so many crops this year will last less than 90 days and few people adjusted N rates accordingly, said Dr Stalham. For the trials, application rates were 120, 150 and 180kg N/ha. “We are working with a number of hypotheses: the first is that the optimum N on this site is 150kg/ha rather than the commercial rate of 180kg/ha. “In addition, we also believe that top-dressing does not increase yield compared with having all the N in the seedbed.” He is also planning to test whether increasing N decreases the risk of bruising and black dot infection, two anecdotes that exist in the industry.
Sulphur Potato crops may be at risk of losing yield due to sulphur deficiency. This is partly because of the decline in atmospheric deposits of S from industrial pollution, and it has raised the question of whether natural deposits in the soil are sufficient for the potato crop. The trial plots, planted on 5th May have received applications at planting of 50kg S/ha as ammonium sulphate, and ICL polysulphate and liquid sulphur. Other trial plots will be exploring the role of phosphate in determining tuber numbers. Previous research has found that this response only occurred in soils with Index 2 or lower, and appeared to be associated with an increase in
ground cover at tuber initiation, said Dr Stalham. “To be cost effective, nutrient applications need to have an effect on yield and/or quality; for example, if the canopy has greater longevity, this can make a difference,” he commented. “However, there are instances when there is ‘luxury’ uptake of surplus nutrients and these do not show any benefits.”
Planting headlands Decisions on whether to plant headlands can cause headaches, so the SPot farm is working with prepack and processing potato supplier, RS Cockerill (York) Ltd to help growers develop decision strategies. “We understand growers need to maximise their returns and unplanted areas bring in no income,” said RS Cockerill procurement manager Richard Wilson. The challenge for growing potatoes on headlands is that often the soil structure is compromised by compaction and there are inconsistencies in the delivery of inputs to the crop. The aim of the study is to look at both the point of view of the grower and that of the customer, in this instance the packer, and then assess whether the return is likely to outweigh the pitfalls. However, he warns, decisions made on one field may not be relevant to another. AHDB senior knowledge exchange manager Graham Bannister concluded: “It was great to see so many people at SPot North today and engaging with the work that we are doing. “I think that over the next six years we can build a project that is driven by local growers. “It was a good example of the AHDB’s knowledge exchange platform at work.” ■

p Take-all infected roots.
Second wheats are a profitable option Second wheats offer a profitable cropping option for the season ahead, if the effects of soil-borne diseases are managed correctly. Historically, second wheats dropped out of production in areas such as the south east where growers could not grow a high-quality, low-screening, second wheat crop for milling, says T Denne & Sons seeds manager, Andrew Bourne. “With modern advancements, plant breeders have been able to produce top quality Group 1, 2 and 3 wheat varieties for use as a second cereal, meaning more farmers are growing second wheats as a viable option,” he says. “Although growers are nervous about how autumn plantings will progress, the attractive wheat price is likely to mean that the area of second wheat grown will increase modestly.” Mr Bourne, who sells seed directly to arable farms in the south east, adds that the improved wheat price, which currently sits at £175–£180/t ex-farm (mid August), offers growers the opportunity to lock in to forward values for harvest 2019.
“Growers who are looking to take advantage of this and target quality markets with a second wheat, can make a good profit margin on the crop. “However, soil-borne diseases such as take-all remain a major threat to profitability of second cereals, reducing yields by up to 30 per cent, if not managed from the outset.”
Preparation Crop protection company Certis’ technical manager, Laurence Power (right), explains that management of take-all starts with getting the basics right, with the first step of this being to create a consolidated seedbed. “After harvest, whether ploughing or implementing a min-till system, assess soil structure on a fieldby-field basis to check for compaction. This can be done by going out in the field and digging down into the soil.”
He adds that a fine but firm, consolidated seedbed is preferred, but it’s important not to over-work the soil. “Over-working the soil can have a detrimental impact on the soil structure and reduce the worm count, meaning overall crop health can be compromised.” Mr Power also suggests delaying drilling of second wheats until midOctober, at a rate of 300 seeds/m2. “If drilling is delayed until after the first week of October the take-all inoculum will be naturally less active as the soil temperatures will be cooler, and the higher seed rate will compensate for losses at germination.” He also explains that selecting a seed dressed with Latitude (silthiofam) is a good insurance policy for the crop, even in later drilled situations. “Silthiofam creates a zone of protection around the vulnerable
emerging roots helping to suppress the take-all pathogen. This gives the crop a chance to grow away from the disease and develop robust rooting, so the plant will more readily take up water and nutrients and, ultimately, produce a quality and high yielding grain.” Mr Power adds that Latitude’s positive effect on yield, grain quality and specific weight has been demonstrated in trials drilled from early October through to November.
Variety hardiness Andrew Bourne says that most of his customers that grow second wheats will select varieties for their hardiness and ability to cope with stresses that typically result from take-all infection. “However, around 90 per cent also request a seed dressed with Latitude, as it’s proven to protect the seed against the take-all pathogen and reduces the risk of significant crop losses from the disease.” Mr Power adds that early spring nutritional input is vital to back this up. “Applying nitrogen around the first week of March helps rooting and, if crops are already compromised by take-all, gives them a readily available supply of nutrients, which promotes rapid growth. “Applications of phosphorous and potassium at the end of February are also just as important for root growth and overall plant health. “Following initial dressings, smaller and more frequent nutrient applications may be beneficial to reduce nitrogen leeching and wastage,” he concludes. ■

Rural Advice
Feeling the heat In the land market the differential between parcels of land continues to grow.
In this edition, Carter Jonas rural partner Mark Russell touches on land prices, diversification and, of course, the weather following this year’s long, hot summer. At the time of writing in early August, it looks like an early harvest for most. Early grain was light and that which ripened later had a little more moisture and may weigh in better on the scales. On balance, prices have increased for autumn grain and no doubt many will have taken advantage of these price levels. The weather has continued to have an effect in the wider landscape. Pressures have included wildfires and a lack of grass for livestock during an exceedingly hot early summer period. In the land market the differential
between parcels of land continues to grow. Land that is sought after in terms of location, sporting, strategic potential etc., continues to trade above £10k an acre. Bare land transactions have seen guide prices and actual selling prices sliding backwards with blocks suffering from negative issues such as difficult access, poor drainage and flooding finding a lower level in the market and, in some cases, being withdrawn after initial offers do not meet vendors’ expectations. With the onset of changes to agricultural support, we continue to
advise clients to review their assets and to plan for the future. I recently visited a farm where diversification has balanced out income streams so much so that should the farming business need to be put on hold for a season or two, the business would continue to operate at a profit. That same client is currently planning how best to monetise ‘natural capital’ assets on the farm and collaborate with various groups (runners, cyclists and environmentalists) on how best to do this. Another client is considering joining together with various neighbours to quickly get to a scale of over 4,000ha as a single farming business, perhaps this is one way to drive costs down.
Game discussion The late July Game Fair may have lacked a number of farmers who were busy on their combines, however there seemed to be a real bustle around the isles. The chatter was focused on post Brexit with views expressed from “it still won’t
happen” to “come on let’s get out”. Just like everyone else in the UK, the rural population remains split on this issue, and equally bored of the discussion. Coming back to the weather, I feel the blocked weather pattern must be a sign of things to come. I’m not qualified to prove that this is climate change in action. However, it feels very much like extremes of weather are an increasing feature, perhaps this will lead to real changes in cropping and therefore new markets over time.

Refinancing to ease cash flows and release working capital The Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC) has reported the strongest first quarter in eight years, recording the highest value of loan applications from the UK’s agricultural businesses since 2010, says the company. The farming finance specialist recorded a 0.8 per cent uplift in Q1 of this year and a 7.7 per cent rise compared with Q1 2015. The value of refinancing loans applied for in the first three months of this year was also higher than in any other first quarter since 2010, making up 54 per cent of total loans requested. The arable sector has overtaken dairy to have the largest weighting of refinance term loan applications from AMC during the period. It accounted for 64 per cent of the total value of loans of this type, and 25 per cent of total loans. With more arable businesses undertaking diversification projects, such as in tourism and renewable energy, these businesses could be looking for the long-term support of refinancing for a degree of financial certainty and to increase the
provision of sustainable cash flow to get these projects off the ground, says AMC.
Dairy sector The dairy sector made up just 8.5 per cent of total value of refinancing loans, which is in sharp contrast to the comparative period in 2017 when dairy customers made up 25 per cent of total refinancing loan applications. “These latest figures show that more farmers, particularly in the arable sector, are applying for our term refinance loans,” says AMC managing director Andrew Naylor (left). “Funding existing loans over a longer term with an AMC refinance product will ease cash flow, and release working capital for the day to day running of businesses and future investments. “It’s not surprising that applications from the dairy sector are down on last year. It was a challenging period for the sector, which I’m pleased to see is in a better place now that the milk price has recovered somewhat.
“This year AMC is celebrating 90 years of supporting Britain’s agricultural businesses. We have been able to celebrate this milestone birthday thanks to our relationship led approach to business and offering long-term loans with no review or breaks, so farmers can get on with what they do best.”
In practice One customer that recently decided to make the switch to a term loan with AMC is James Price, who farms 650ha in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. He grows winter wheat, winter oilseed
rape, spring barley and spring and winter beans on his family farm. James said: “The refinance term loan we moved to with AMC effectively gave us 15 years of confidence and security – I need to have certainty in my business at a time when everything seems to be extremely volatile. “Interest rates are only going to go up, we won’t have to pay fees again after five years and, when we did the numbers, it actually freed up enough capital to invest in an additional property for the farm, which we’ve done.” ■

Mid-size combine range options increased Claas demonstrated new and updated models in its harvesting ranges at a press event in early August. David Williams reports. Claas continues to invest heavily in research and development and has announced new combines, mowers and balers promising benefits for farms of all sizes. A new control concept has been added for the mid-sized Tucano models, with even more automation to help operators of Lexion machines. The Tucano range is extended with a new top 580 model. Claas combine product manager Adam Hayward explained that this fills the gap between the previous most powerful Tucano 570 and the larger Lexion range. Tucano models are available with 5 or 6 straw walkers or as hybrids, with a drum separator then a rotor, and in narrow or wide body widths. For 2019 the Tucano line-up
includes 13 variants, with 5 available as new Montana hill-side versions. Engines are all from Mercedes Benz from 245–381hp meeting Tier 5 emissions standards and maximum power is available at just 1,900rpm, down from 2,000rpm. Also, for the first time, Dynamic Power is standard. This has been available on Jaguar forage harvesters for many years, and on the Tucano it operates in a similar way to save fuel and wear and tear as power is adjusted to match demand, although operating speed remains the same. There are 10 power steps, but for unloading on the move maximum power is immediately available. Montana versions compensate automatically for side slopes up to 16 per cent on wider body models
The Tucano Montana versions can adjust to maintain horizontal threshing and separation systems on slopes up to 18 degrees.
or 18 per cent on narrower 430 and 560 variants. Final drives to the front wheels rotate hydraulically providing the height differential and an additional benefit is that both can be rotated together to provide extra table clearance for narrow gateways, allowing it to remain attached between fields. Feeder housing adjustment up to 20 per cent allows the header to follow the ground angle while the combine remains horizontal. Further advantages include cutting angle adjustment, allowing the table to be tilted forward to more easily pick-up laid crops by presenting the knife closer to the ground, or tilted back to reduce losses by keeping seed from overripe crops or oilseed rape in the header. Hill-side models come with a 2-speed manual transmission with automatic engine load adjustment. In both gears there are 2 drive ranges, selected dependent on wheel drive loading and the speed change occurs automatically on the move maintaining traction and motion. All-wheel drive provides up to 70 per cent more tractive power compared with standard model 4wd, through a more powerful independent hydraulic system, and a differential lock for the front axle is standard. For further improved hill harvesting performance a 3d sieve box and auto-slope compensation by the fan are additional options, also available on standard models. Using the hill compensation system only requires the operator to select

the ‘A’ button and settings are made and adjusted automatically with the actual ground angle displayed on the Cebis terminal. “The narrow 430 is attractive to smaller farms and the new specification and availability of the Montana version will certainly add to its appeal,” said Adam.
Improved controls The 2019 Tucano models have a new Cebis touch-screen monitor which allows performance monitoring and ease of adjustment through an intuitive screen menu. The operator has only to select the combine system to be adjusted with a tap on the image and a sub-menu opens up displaying adjustments available. Touching the relevant icon then allows the setting to be changed. Claas realises that not all operators continued over...

like electronic displays so a quickaccess bank of traditional switches on the new armrest allows the same range of adjustments to be made. The Cebis screen also allows quick selection without all the menus by allowing users to set ‘favourites’ for fast recall using buttons on the CMotion joystick. The terminal can be positioned anywhere in an arc from the user’s right knee to the right hand side. This allows it to be swung out of the way for a clear view of the full knife width, or positioned in front when constant attention to settings is preferred. Auto Crop Flow, available previously only on Lexion models is added to the Tucano options list. Sensors measure the APS drum, residual grain separation system, straw chopper and engine and automatically react to overloading by stopping the header and intake elevator, while alerting the user. This allows operators to confidently push the combine to work at higher outputs without fear of blocking the threshing or separation systems.
Grain tank capacity up to 11,000 litres is available on the new range, including on the largest Tucano 580 Montana, and even the smallest Tucano 320 has either 6,500 or 7,500 litres available. A further update is an automatic unloading auger flap which engages when the auger is stopped, preventing grain spillage even when the auger is still full. For 2019 additional benefits of the latest Tucanos include; • Grain feeder housing dust extraction, improving visibility in dusty conditions and particularly at night. • Returns information displayed on the Cebis screen allowing assessment alongside grain losses. • Increased tool and spare part storage space. • Larger maintenance panels for improved service access and an on-board water tank allowing hands to be washed in the field.
operating in laid crops – and constant performance optimisation all day, where an operator eventually becomes tired. “It doesn’t replace an operator,” he added. “It helps those with less experience make the most of the combine’s potential and experienced operators like it as it helps them fine-tune the harvesting operation. “Overall, when we compare combines working in all countries with Cemos against identical machines without, we see 15–18 per cent improved output.” A new 12in high-resolution touchscreen version of the Cebis Mobile terminal is available for 700 Hybrid and 600 straw-walker models allowing easier and faster set-up and improved performance monitoring. A silhouette of the combine includes settings for the main function areas such as the rotor and fan speed, grain moisture content and grain tank fill level in progressive steps. “Accurate grain tank level information is especially useful for those using our Fleetview system for fleet management as trailer drivers are kept informed of when they will be
needed,” added Edward. Slider controls on the screen allow the operator to set the Cemos system to prioritise grain quality, straw quality or throughput. The new Cebis Mobile terminal is also used to monitor 4D cleaning and to set up and monitor results from the grain quality camera, mounted at the elevator head. The camera records images at intervals up to one per second which are analysed to identify broken grains and foreign bodies including un-threshed heads. An image of the grain sample is displayed with damaged grains or chaff highlighted in pink and blue and by touching the screen the operator opens a second window allowing system sensitivity to be altered, for increased or decreased threshing and cleaning. The screen also displays Cruise Pilot status. Cruise Pilot automatically adjusts operating speed up to the limit set depending on crop volume in the feeder housing, throughput in t/hr and engine load, with all parameters displayed. Factors limiting performance are continued over...
Automation adds output Cemos combine automation was launched by Claas in 2012 and precision farming product manager Edward Miller said it is now in its third generation with take-up increasing each year. “It costs extra but we have seen a strong trend for those who have had it, specifying it again when combines are updated,” he explained. Advantages include reduced working costs due to higher output and saved time, improved grain quality, better performance in the field – particularly

highlighted and the operating mode can be set to constant speed, constant throughput or constant throughput with losses.
Automated control Optional Cemos Automatic comprises three modules. Cemos Auto Cleaning is available for all Lexion 600 and 700 models and a new option is Auto Threshing. Lexion 700 models can also have Cemos Auto Separation. Auto Threshing works with Cruise Pilot and the other Cemos modules when fitted, to adjust drum speed and concave gap. Taking a basic crop setting as the start point, Auto Threshing then finds the ideal drum speed and concave setting to thresh the crop, but keeps the action as gentle as possible. Auto Cleaning works with the grain quality camera and automatically adjusts the fan speed and upper and lower sieves constantly to maintain optimum grain quality. Four operating strategies can be set; Maximum Throughput, Optimum Fuel Consumption, High Grain Quality or a combination of all three. Auto Separation on 700 Hybrid models automatically adjusts rotor speed and cover plates depending on the operating priority selected. Cemos
Auto Separation reacts and adjusts settings constantly for optimum performance. A demonstration of the system on a Lexion 780 proved the benefits. The sloping field of wheat appeared an even crop but from one side of the field to the other the automatic threshing system varied the drum speed and concave gap as variations in the numbers of broken grains or un-threshed heads were detected. Unless the images were inspected very closely there was little difference detectable by eye, but the combine’s system is more thorough, identifying minute variations. What is comforting for the operator is that the image quality on the high-resolution screen is clear enough to see each grain, so there is no need to constantly check the grain tank contents.
Balers updated New model Rollant 540 fixed chamber round balers have a stronger chassis and new roller design, improving durability and improving bale formation. There are three variants, all suitable for demanding farm or contractor use, including the 540RF (Roto Feed), 540RC (Roto Cut) and 540RC (Comfort). Bale size is 1.25m diameter and 1.22m wide made in a chamber with

15 rollers, all constructed from 4mm steel. The 15 rollers have a modular build, with new bolted stub shafts, and a serrated profile for efficient bale gripping even in wet conditions and the Claas MaxPressure System (MPS 2) is an option, with rollers 7, 8 and 9 on a pivot mounting to apply pressure earlier in the bale forming cycle for improved density. An improved rear door fastening system, with closing rams horizontally mounted at the sides, has been introduced to cope with the higher pressures and ensure perfect bale formation.
The rollers are driven from the left side with direct drive for uniform force distribution. Chains are 1.25in to the rotor and main drive and the tailgate rollers have a 1in chain. Bearings are upgraded over previous 374 and 375 models. Central lubrication is an option, but for manual greasing most grease points are grouped in blocks. The pick-up is 2.1m as before and the well-proven double crop roller is now joined by additional options of a single roller or baffle plate at reduced cost. “We have always found users get on particularly well with the double continued over...

roller but where it isn’t needed the new options provide a cost-effective alternative,” explained product specialist Dean Cottey. For bale wrapping the net system has a new brake, and the new RC Comfort model can be used with net or film wrap. Changing between the two takes under 10 minutes. “Film holds the bale shape better during handling, and gives added protection,” explained Dean. “Additional advantages are that it can be disposed of with the plastic wrap rather than having to separate the net
from the film, and it also wastes less of the crop as it comes away clean rather than with material stuck to it. That is likely to be a valuable benefit this year when fodder and bedding are in short supply.” Stronger construction includes a 80mm full width beam axle replacing previous bolt-on stub axles and a wider range of tyres as well as air or hydraulic braking. Control is by the standard Operator terminal but options include the Communicator or full management from the tractor’s Isobus link. An iPad can also be used through a free Claas app. Settings can be altered from the cab including net delay and the drop-floor, but the Comfort specification also allows the number of net layers to be set, the net brake to be adjusted and the number of chopping knives to be selected, all from the seat.

contour following and mounts on an A-frame allowing rapid hitching and unhitching from the tractor or direct hitching to the tractor front link arms. For unhitching, the mower suspension is isolated using a selector lever and for re-hitching a simple pair of arrows have to be matched so that the tractor’s front linkage arms are the correct height. The headstock is narrow allowing great forward visibility. Active Float suspension is standard, integrated within the main frame and allowing ground pressure to be adjusted to suit the conditions. The new suspension allows mower travel up and down to 1,000mm, independent of the front linkage. The mower is pulled from the front, with low mounted arms inclined at a low angle for smooth operation. Two pre-series mowers have operated in the UK and Dean said feedback from users has been very positive, including one saying the design allowed perfect cutting even at speeds up to 20kph.

Jaguar flagship A new flagship to the Jaguar 800-series forage harvester range has been added for next year. The 800-series was introduced 25 years ago including models from 300– 500hp but the new 880 tops the 2019 line-up with 626hp from a 15.6-litre Mercedes Benz power unit. Dean Cottey said the new model provides an alternative for those needing high capacity and has the same engine as the Jaguar 960 but will suit those who don’t want to move up to the physically larger 900-series. The new model is ideally suited to livestock farms and contractors producing silage for livestock feed with a chop length of 9–10mm and longer. Three pre-series models have operated for the 2017 and 2018 seasons having replaced previous 492 and 496 models, and harvesting grass, wholecrop and maize. Dean said they have performed well against previous models. ■

A Maschio Giraffona flail mower with hydraulic offset and angle control is proving an ideal solution for grassland, ditch and bank maintenance on a Norfolk farm.
Making light work of field edge maintenance With many miles of drainage dykes, ditches and field margins to maintain, Norfolk farming company Proctor Bros relies on no-nonsense machinery to maximise work rate and minimise downtime. David Williams reports.
Cutting alongside the River Nene, the Giraffona is used fully offset to prevent tractor wheels flattening grass ahead of the mower.
Whether in line or offset, the operator has a clear view of the mower in work.
Located beside the River Nene at Sutton Bridge on the Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk borders, the arable farm includes 2,350ha of owned and rented land growing combinable crops, vining peas, sugar beet and potatoes. Most of the land is flat fen, with fields divided by a network of drainage channels. The farm is entered into a Stewardship agreement with Natural England, including an SSSI, and there are more than 160km of grass margins, with hedges and ditches maintained as part of the rotation. A conventional mounted hedgecutter maintains hedges and some of the deeper ditches but proved too slow to be practical for wide field margins and larger grass areas. There are also raised banks to maintain and a versatile high speed mower was needed, capable of dealing with grass, weeds and scrub.
Durability needed
The Giraffona can operate at angles up to 90 degrees allowing it to be used for low level hedge trimming, although the farm also has a long reach hedgecutter for this purpose.
“We required a mower capable of cutting at steep angles from horizontal, and which could be offset from the tractor allowing the wheels to remain a safe distance from ditches,” explained assistant farm manager Sid Mann. “We bought a mower which we believed would suit but it just couldn’t stand the work and needed frequent repairs so we looked for a more suitable replacement.” The farm sources its machinery through most of the local main dealers
and John Deere dealer Doubleday was consulted to find an alternative solution. “We deal mainly with Richard Hook for sales,” explained Sid, “and he recommended the Maschio Giraffona. We had a demonstration and were immediately impressed with the build quality and performance, and took delivery in early 2017.” The Giraffona is available in 2.1, 2.3 and 2.6m working widths all with hydraulic horizontal offset and tilt. It can work on vertical surfaces up to 90 degrees, and steep slopes down to -65 degrees. The shell is double-skinned and a large diameter rear roller is inside the hood, at the rear. Five toothed Kevlar belts transmit the power and the main gearbox is rated to 200hp. Opico Maschio territory and UK product manager David Day said the Giraffona is proving very popular with farmers and contractors. “It’s a superb design and very heavy duty,” he explained. “Whereas most mowers are rated to just 100hp, the Giraffona is double that and will cope with almost any farm mowing or clearance task including taking out saplings up to several inches diameter. A sprung break-back system protects it from damage if it hits large tree stumps or gateposts and all the stress points are strengthened to minimise the chance of damage. “It’s ideal for modern farms using higher horsepower tractors and being able to work at such a range of angles makes it extremely versatile.”
Complements hedgecutter Most of the mower’s work is maintaining field margins and the ability to hitch or remove it from a tractor in just a few minutes is seen as a big advantage by Sid. “We still need a hedgecutter for the high hedges and farm woodland borders but it takes hours to hitch to a tractor so we resist mounting it until we are sure the tractor isn’t needed for anything else. Then once it is on it stays on until all the hedges have been trimmed. The Maschio can be hitched up for just a few hours’ work whenever needed without tying up a tractor and it is ideal for the field margins and drainage ditches as well as topping our small parcels of grass beside the river on which we graze cattle.” He went on to explain that although the hedgecutter allows the tractor to operate further from deep ditches and offers a longer reach, the Giraffona’s ease of use and rate of work is unbeatable on flatter areas. continued over...

“Our field edge strips are narrow on one farm – just the width of the tractor – but on another they are much wider. We run the mower offset on the wider boundaries, travelling first in one direction and then the other and for the narrower strips just cut with the mower in line. There is an issue with the gearbox mounted on the left side of the mower that we can’t cut right up to the edge of the tractor wheel track, so we have to decide whether to run with the uncut strip against the outer edge
Rugged construction is a feature appreciated by assistant farm manager Sid Mann. Five Kevlar belts transmit drive from the 200hp-rated gearbox.
and the hedge or ditch, or the crop.” Operator Vid Mantas said the Maschio is easier to use and quicker than the farm’s previous mower. “When we cut field borders we can follow irregular boundaries without needing to lift it,” he said. “Our previous mower was lifted at corners otherwise the headstock broke. “Whether the mower is directly behind or running offset it’s easy to keep an eye on the mower in work. The headstock and offset linkage are both very open, and don’t interfere with visibility.” Vid said the ability to offset the mower saves running on grass before it is cut. “Where grass is thick and lush such as on the river banks, mowing with it offset is an advantage as otherwise grass flattened by the tractor wheels stays flat and is missed by the blades,” he explained. In its first 18 months the Giraffona has cut around every field several times each season, trimmed all the farm’s roadside verges and topped the livestock grazing areas. Maintenance is minimal with just a few minutes needed to grease the mower each day and the original blades are still in use, with plenty of chips but a lot of working life remaining.
the ability to select two different roller positions. In its forward position, grass is discharged quickly over the top so it is left very coarse, or, for a finer chop, the roller can be moved back to keep the grass in the blade area for longer. It hasn’t replaced a hedgecutter as we still need the longer reach for some of the deeper and wider ditches and our hedges, but we use the Maschio wherever we can because it is so much faster and easier. “We haven’t needed any parts for it yet but when we do know Doubleday will look after us as the service the team provides is superb.” ■
The Giraffona folds neatly behind the tractor for road transport. Two pins are fitted, preventing vertical and horizontal movement.
Roller positions A minor niggle is that the mower cannot cut to the left hand edge of the tractor.
“The Maschio Giraffona is a really good mower,” added Sid. “It’s well made and does a very good job and a feature that has proved effective is

Combine updates ensure productivity and improve sample Case IH has announced new flagship Axial Flow models all in a new 250-series, replacing previous 240 models. Full automation of settings for popular crops is claimed to allow additional output up to 10 per cent.
Eckardstein said AFS Harvest Command is designed to assist rather than replace operators and both novice and experienced users will benefit. “Experienced operators can further enhance output and grain quality, and inexperienced users can more quickly achieve productivity comparable to those with more hours in the seat,” he explained. “Identifying limiting factors as conditions change, displaying them and making adjustments to compensate means there is less need to worry about factors such as losses, fan speed and rotor speed allowing the user to focus on header position and unloading.”
Setting priorities
Case IH has demonstrated new models in its Axial Flow harvester range, with more technology to help operators boost output while maintaining grain sample quality. David Williams reports. The new three-model 250-series (7250, 8250 and 9250) replaces the previous 240-series flagships in the Case IH range. The main update is AFS Harvest Command automation, which uses 16 sensors to continuously monitor machine performance and provide performance information from which the system automatically adjusts 7 main working settings to maximise productivity. The system still relies on operator input but will constantly optimise settings during long working days saving driver fatigue and ensuring a better focus on the header and surroundings. Three versions offer different levels of capability. The base version has the proven Automatic Crop Settings (ACS) system, adjusting components such as fan speed and concave clearance to match the selected crop type, saving the operator having to make each setting individually. Initially basic settings are made, and during work these can be fine-tuned to suit the crop and conditions and stored for future quick selection. The next version adds Feedrate
Control which adjusts ground speed using information from sensors regarding crop load. The operator selects the desired outcome; prioritising loss reduction, maximum throughput or constant throughput. Target ground speed and engine loads are set and Feedrate Control allows operation up to these limits. Using crop and ground-drive load information, ground speed is varied to suit. It can also be used as a standalone mode. Top specification is full AFS Harvest Command with automatic threshing and cleaning system adjustment based on the same priorities as Feedrate Control, but adds in grain quality monitoring. Cameras constantly scan grain for damage and impurities using multi-spectral light emission (UV, blue, green, red and infra-red) and sieve sensors monitor working pressure with data sent to the management system. Grain sample impurities can be minimised and grain quality maximised through continuous fine adjustment. Currently the system is compatible with wheat, oilseed rape, canola, maize and soybeans, with additional crops being added.

AFS Harvest Command with full automation can be used in four different modes; Performance – the combine operates at a speed to ensure acceptable level of grain loss from the rotor and cleaning system. Fixed Throughput – a target output is maintained by varying travel speed and settings are adjusted to minimise losses. Maximum Throughput – the system maximises operating speed up to the power or speed limit set by the operator, while making adjustments to minimise grain losses from the rotor and cleaning system. Grain Quality – A target grain quality standard is set and maintained with adjustment to minimise impurities and losses.
Rotor system New models equipped with AFS Harvest Command also gain in-cab adjustable rotor cage vanes, set manually from the right hand console or automatically when the harvester management system is engaged. The rear six vanes are linked and can also be adjusted from the ground. Changing the vane pitch adjusts the speed at which crop moves through the rotor cage, matching aggression

of separation performance to the crop and conditions. Upper and lower sieve control from the cab is joined by new presieve adjustment allowing Harvest Command automation to adjust the cleaning system from start to finish according to feedback from the loss sensors, grain camera and sieve pressure sensors. All can also be manually adjusted if the automation is turned off. The new Axial Flow’s sieve pressure sensors monitor the sieve loading allowing the automation system to anticipate losses before they occur, and take immediate preventative action. The sensor information allows the cause of losses through
sieve overloading or fan power to be identified so adjustments can be made accordingly. At the beginning and end of each bout, losses often increase because of the reduced volume of material passing through the separation and cleaning systems. Because the new Axial Flow’s sensors immediately detect the changed working load, settings are adjusted to compensate so losses are reduced. Working with the optional Auto Fan, they also help prevent losses by detecting sieve load when working on slopes.
Drive updated New transmissions offering improved drive performance and on and off-
road modes also feature on the new models. The hydrostatic unit with transport and work modes has on-themove, two-speed range control and benefits include increased traction and the ability to keep moving on slopes rather than having to stop to change gear. Control is through a multi-function lever and maximum speeds in ranges 1 and 2 are 18 and 40kph respectively, while alternative maximums can be set to suit operator preference and working conditions. Uprated hydraulic drive improves hill climbing performance by 36 per cent on the road. A new floor-mounted button controls the electronic differential lock, replacing the previous mechanical pedal. Brakes are uprated to internal oil-cooled units from external discs reducing operating pressure required.
Header performance Header lift capacity of 6.1t is available for the largest models allowing them to carry 13.5m Draper tables and factory-supplied dual lateral tilt is available providing fine control of the widest headers. A new option which will appeal
to those harvesting long or very short-strawed or laid crops is an in-cab controlled face plate with fore and aft adjustment allowing header angle adjustment up to 12 degrees. Height control is also improved for faster response and better flotation performance, and includes adjustable return-to-cut rate upgrades. Header height sensitivity automatically adjusts as forward speed alters, keeping the header stable but offering maximum response. With sensitivity set to high for changing terrain, for example, when the operator reduces travel speed the system sensitivity also drops, keeping the header stable. The control setting remains at high though, so the header returns to faster response when higher speed is resumed.
Wireless information AFS Connect telematics allows twoway data file transfer between the combine and farm office via a web portal. Combines come pre-wired for the system with antennae already fitted but if the combine is ordered ‘telematics ready’ it also comes with the modem installed. The system is initialised at the factory and to make use of its capabilities an unlock code must be purchased from Case IH. ■

New size for pre-stressed concrete panels launched A new 1.2m concrete panel height will shortly become available, Concrete Panel Systems (CPS) has announced. They are aimed at the company’s main customer base, which lies mainly within the agricultural industry, and were designed and manufactured by sister company, Graham Heath Construction. Not only are the panels expected to be more cost-effective for their customers, but also time-saving when it comes to mounting panels for silage pits, aggregate storage or other projects, claims CPS.
Furthermore, the company manufactures its own 1.2m high pre-stressed concrete panels thanks to new concrete beds, which were being installed from August 2018. To accommodate these tall panels, Concrete Panel Systems erected a new industrial shed on the yard, which is now complete and sits alongside the business’ current concrete shed, expanding the production area. The new 1.2m concrete panel will be available for quote enquiries from the end of August 2018, the company adds. ■
Cheshire-based dealer appointed for forage wagons and diet feeders G Richardson Agri Engineering, has been appointed to the Strautmann network, Opico has announced.

Flagship maize munchers upgraded John Deere’s latest wide-body 9000-series forage harvesters offer a beefed up design over their 8000-series predecessors, with additional features, more power and bags more torque for higher outputs. David Williams tried them out. Four new models, the 9600, 9700, 9800 and 9900, replace 8600, 8700 and 8800 versions. Externally new styling is the most noticeable indicator but the purr of low-revving V-12 power units replacing previous straight-6 engines on three models is also significant. The new models are 625–970hp, gaining 127hp over the previous most powerful 8800, and John Deere claims up to 10 per cent extra productivity over models replaced, combined with 10 per cent fuel savings. On the three largest models, Liebherr 24.2-litre V12 power units produce maximum power at under 1,400rpm and a John Deere PSS 13.5-litre 6-cyl engine is used in the 9600. To make the most of the lowrevving engines a new transmission was developed allowing all major components to operate at optimum speeds.
Engines are mounted longitudinally for optimum cooling efficiency and all can meet latest Stage 5 emissions regulations. “We couldn’t meet Tier 5 using the Cummins engines fitted to 8,000-series models and the Liebherr V12 has bags of power, a very flat power curve and maximum torque at just 1,350rpm,” explained John Deere harvester specialist Ross Skimming. “Previously maximum torque was between 1,700 and 1,800rpm and if the revs dropped below 1,700 then there wasn’t as much torque in reserve.” To cope with the extra power the processing system has been strengthened. Crop is fed through an 850mm channel and a stronger shearbar, sharpening system and drum is incorporated. ProDrive fully automatic transmission achieves 13mph in field mode at 1,200rpm and 40kph for transport at 1,400rpm, providing fuel savings.
Demanding field test
The 9800 demonstrated in Worcestershire to Farmers Guide ahead of the main launch event has a Liebherr 24.2-litre 870hp engine, producing maximum torque below 1,400rpm for maximum chop consistency and fuel efficiency.
Farmers Guide tried the new 870hp 9800 in a dense crop of rye grown for a Worcestershire AD plant. The huge torque reserves made it easy to operate in variable crop and noise levels were low in and out of the cab. “Because the new engines are so lowrevving, there is no need to reduce engine speed at each headland turn and full power is always available,” Ross explained. Updates to the Active Fill Control trailer filling system include the ability
p The most obvious updates from the outside are new, more aggressive styling and twin exhaust stacks for the V12 powered models. u The cab is similar to before. The demonstration machine was a pre-series, and had a new 4640 display as well as the current flagship 2630 version fitted.
to automatically fill trailers at the rear now, as well as at the side. New twin cameras supply loading information to direct the spout and the update will allow harvester operators to keep their eyes on the header rather than having to watch the trailer during opening up. The demonstration field posed quite a challenge for the system as extremely dry conditions and strong gusting side winds caused the crop to be blown sideways necessitating constant spout adjustment, but it compensated well and the dust didn’t seem to confuse the cameras.
Harvest management The cab is similar to before but the demonstration machine was fitted with the latest HarvestLab 3000 NIR (near infrared) sensor. This provides real-time measurement and recording of crop yield, moisture and constituents including protein, starch and fibre either as totals or on field maps.
The latest HarvestLab system also enables AutoLOC (automatic length of cut) settings to be monitored, and adjusts silage additive dosing on the move, based on dry matter content. A brand new display was fitted to the demonstrator. The 4640 10in screen is similar to the 4600 version supplied in latest 8000-series tractors but the 4640 also operates as a standalone unit, enabling swapping between machines. It’s larger than the current flagship 2630 version, with additional features for greater flexibility including the ability to continuously trickle-feed information rather than waiting for a summary of areas completed. continued over...

HarvestLab 3000 is the latest version of John Deere’s crop quality monitoring system. A new fan and filter layout ensures intake air is available to the engine in dusty conditions.
A brand new app; MyOperations, allows constant remote monitoring of machine settings and task progress, from anywhere with a data connection. The 2630 is the minimum specification to run HarvestLab and Ross suggested that although the demonstration machine had the new screen and current 2630 fitted, users are more likely to have a standard smaller screen for machine operation with the 4640 for HarvestLab.
Dual spout cameras are part of the latest Active Fill Control which automatically loads trailers at the rear, as well as alongside.

temperature monitoring, keeping the operator informed of temperatures in work to help prevent overloading and downtime through bearing failure.
Superior chop quality

“Consistency of chop is excellent,” suggested Ross. “Chopping the rye to 6mm for the AD plant, every sample we checked was almost spot on. The previous 8000-series harvesters were already praised by users for their chop performance but the new models are even better.” For those harvesting maize John Deere has added to its range of kernel processors. The new XStream KP was developed in cooperation with US-based Scherer and has a large 250mm diameter and 50 per cent roll speed differential increasing processing intensity by 10 per cent at all chop lengths. Also available are the standard Premium KP unit with a sawtooth
Main dealer Farol Midhurst depot branch director Phil Swinnerton (left) with John Deere area sales manager for central, south and south-west England Jonathan Edwards. “From Midhurst, most forage harvesters are supplied for grass and maize, mainly for livestock feed,” Phil explained. “I believe users find the back-up from John Deere and our own after-sales team very attractive. We are running an 8400 demonstrator this season which replaced an 8600 we had for the previous two years. I think the new models will be attractive with their larger engines offering higher output and better chop consistency. Farmers are looking for forage quality and most of those we sell now are supplied with HarvestLab.”

Contractor Henry Righton was keen to see the new forager harvester working. Based at Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire, he currently runs a John Deere 8600 forage harvester which replaced a 7550, and before that he had a 7500 model. “I usually update every five years,” he said. “I moved to John Deere from another brand, as I knew the dealer would provide great back-up and the price was attractive at the time. I found I preferred the John Deere and have no reason to move away from the brand now. It’s interesting seeing the new harvester at work but most of our work is producing silage for livestock; a mix of grass, maize and wholecrop and the 8600 gives us plenty of output as we only need to process 1,000t/day.” Henry said the John Deere is easy to run and downtime is minimal. “If we catch a blade it’s easy to get at and knock back. Back-up from John Deere at Langar and from Tallis Amos Group is good too. We also run John Deere tractors – an 8360 and four 6215Rs and operating in a 25-mile radius of our base we know our dealer will look after us when help is needed.” Henry commented that the forage harvester offers a good operator environment and that commonality of controls, with layout and design shared with the tractors is an advantage. “Everything is familiar as we move between machines and John Deere’s AMS system is the best available. We yield map and it works well.” Fuel cost is an important consideration and Henry explained it was one of the main factors that persuaded him to move from a narrow body 7500 model to the 8600 wide series. “By increasing the processing rate we were able to become more fuel efficient,” he said. “It’s one of our biggest costs and one which will only increase in future.”
Host farm Spring Hill Farms operations manager Will Parrott (left) with local dealer TAG area sales manager James Underhill. The farm operates a John Deere 8700 forage harvester as well as several John Deere tractors and is looked after by the dealer. “This new model is a logical extension to the range,” commented Will. “A jump up in size would make sense for us and it has been a useful opportunity seeing it work on our own farm. It is so much faster than our current machine. Rye can lose up to 1 per cent moisture per day in hot weather and it’s essential to harvest as much as possible at the optimum time to get the most from the crop. We use it for our AD plant, which supplies gas and electricity to the grid, and chop consistency is noticeably better on this new model, even allowing for the new drum and knives which help. We grow half maize and the other crops are rye, grass, sugar beet and wheat, but in all we chop about 2,820ha per year. I’m impressed with the new model and it has obviously been tweaked to suit those processing crop for AD plants.”

Fendt’s CVT-equipped rubber track crawlers are now available and Farmers Guide visited a large arable farm and long-standing Challenger user, to find out how the new model compares.
Latest crawler impresses on Suffolk farm Fendt designed and branded rubber-track crawlers were announced last year, some with new technology borrowed from the German manufacturer’s largest wheeled tractors. David Williams has been finding out how they perform. The Fendt crawler line-up includes 7 models in 2 sizes, from 380–646hp. Both result from Challenger’s incorporation within the Fendt brand but, whereas the new 1100MT models are mechanically similar to the previous MT800-series, the smaller MT700-series has been replaced by all-new 900 Vario MT models. Externally the most noticeable change, apart from green paintwork, is a Fendt cab but under the body panels is a Fendt Vario CVT transmission, track and cab suspension and Fendt controls. With fewer changes the 1100MT models have been available since early this year but the 900 Vario MT models have only recently arrived on farms.
Main user Jordan Burcham said the new models offer 100 per cent improvement for operators and that it will be hard to spend a day on the farm’s Challengers after a week on the Fendt.
Farmers Guide visited a north Suffolk farm which was one of the first to take delivery of one of the new models. Mark Hadingham and his son Ben farm in north-east Suffolk and just over the Norfolk border, trading as Retreat Farms and Flixton Farms Ltd. Approximately 1,600ha is farmed across 4 sites and the land is a mix of owned and contract-farmed. Most soil is Beccles-series clay but there is also some lighter land at Blyford nearer the coast. “Our soil is a delicate asset,” commented Mark. “We have to look after it carefully so we moved to tracks approximately 20 years ago. We have a policy of not carrying out cultivations with wheeled machines and our wheeled tractors are used mainly for tasks including transport and hedge cutting. Since moving to tracks our soil structure has benefitted and although tyre technology has improved considerably in recent years, we don’t feel they provide the same soil protection. And it’s not only the soil that gains an advantage; tracks allow us to work more efficiently and get more from our machines.” The first rubber-tracked crawler purchased was a Caterpillar, later replaced by a Claas-branded version. Then another brand was operated briefly before settling on Challengers, supplied through East Anglian main dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen. In recent years the fleet has included two 765s and a larger 865. A 765D was recently part-exchanged for a new Fendt crawler which arrived in early August, and which complements the farm’s 765C and a larger 865C. Cropping includes winter oilseed
rape, sugar beet, vining peas, winter barley, spring barley and some rye and crops are established using Vaderstad 6 and 8m Rapid drills. Cultivations are mainly min-till although ploughing is carried out where needed. The plough is a Gregoire Besson 9f reversible and cultivators include a 6m Vaderstad Top Down, a 6m Vaderstad Rexius Press, an 8m Vaderstad NZ seedbed cultivator and a 6m RapidLift toolbar mounted to the farm’s 6m Vaderstad Rapid drill. Mole ploughing and subsoiling are carried out where needed. “During the autumn we often have all three crawlers working, but only bought the 800-series crawler because the smaller 700-series wasn’t available with the same power,” explained Mark. “We didn’t want to go to the bigger model to do more work, but needed pulling capacity for the plough and drilling with the RapidLift toolbar fitted.”
more efficient. By the time of Farmers Guide’s visit the new tractor had worked 110 hours, and field work had included mole draining and cultivating with the 6m TopDown. “It’s improved 100 per cent over the previous 765D,” commented main operator Jordan Burcham. “It’s hard to compare as it is so different but I know that using the older models again will come hard. The transmission is obviously very different as the CVT and engine adjust continuously for optimum performance. Previously I was always changing powershift gears and a low ratio had to be selected for pulling away otherwise it could stall. Then moving up through the gears took a while until the operating speed was reached.” The new Fendt Vario crawlers have a similar transmission to 1000-series wheeled tractors. Twin hydraulic motors control the power split between hydraulic and mechanical giving variable speed control with a bias to mechanical transmission for high torque at low speeds and hydraulic at higher speeds, saving fuel. The operator can select manual mode; adjusting the engine and transmission independently or select ‘TMS’ by pressing a button on the control panel, allowing engine and transmission management by the tractor’s systems for lowest engine revs and maximum fuel economy. Response to varying loads is adjustable. A constant engine speed can be maintained regardless of load, or allowed to reduce within pre-set limits, saving fuel. Travel speed control is by the Vario multi-function joystick, but continued over...
Easy decision When Mark heard of the new Fendt models he was optimistic that pulling capacity would be increased and attended a demonstration in Lincolnshire earlier this year. “It was good to see the Challenger replaced, but improved and brought up to the next level,” he said. “We have considered other brands and keep an eye on alternatives but believe the new Fendt models offer the best design and performance.” The farm ordered a new 943 Vario MT, the flagship of the 900-series with 431hp. Mark believes the new tractor’s additional power will allow it to share larger implements with the 800-series, making field operations
Controls are typically Fendt, and almost identical to 1000-series wheeled tractors.

fan pushing cool air through from the front. So far this has remained clean, even in dry, dusty working conditions. Part of the track system’s redesign includes plastic wear discs at the rear of the centre rollers. Thurlow Nunn Standen’s Challenger and Fendt specialist Dave Lovell explained that side thrust during work forces the rubber drive lugs against the backs of the rollers and on the Challenger they could overheat, damaging the outer rubber band and causing premature failure. The new plastic wear discs help prevent heat build-up and should significantly extend working life.
p uVisibility is excellent. ...from previous page
the operator can also select control through the foot drive pedal. “The foot pedal has advantages on the road,” explained Jordan. “On narrow lanes I can slow down while passing cars, then just depress the foot pedal again to pull away. Everything adjusts automatically leaving me free to watch the road whereas the previous Challenger with powershift needed me to concentrate on shifting from the lowest gears all the way up the range, and avoid stalling.” Speed control sensitivity is adjustable in four stages, using a small selector on the joystick. For rapid reaction to joystick commands the selector is set to most aggressive and for more relaxed operation and a smoother ride, response is reduced.
Superb ride quality The new Fendt tractors have an all-new track and carriage design, including suspension. ConstantGrip comprises a double pendulum within each track assembly allowing the tracks to mould around undulations, maintaining even ground pressure along their length and across the track width. Large coil springs and shock absorbers support the chassis and provide up to 23cm vertical movement for each track, with up to 11 degrees swing angle also available, while a torque rod stabiliser ensures lateral stability. The cab is suspended as is the seat and Fendt claims comfort and noise levels equivalent to a premium wheeled tractor. “Ride quality is great on the road and in the field,” confirmed Jordan. “When the tractor first arrived the ground was rock hard after the long summer drought but track vibration was hardly noticeable. The improved ride means I can make the most of the power to achieve higher working speeds than before, so the tractor is more productive.” The cab is almost identical to that of the 1000 Vario tractors including a 10.4in Varioterminal touch-screen to set up and monitor operating
Extra flexibility parameters. “It’s clear and easy to see, even in bright sunlight,” commented Jordan, “and the menus are logical so it doesn’t take long to work out how to alter the settings.” The farm has its own RTK network and the tractors use Topcon GPS field mapping. Variotronic Turn Assistant on the new Fendt can be used to negotiate headland turns automatically, and was proving popular with Jordan. Visibility all around was described as excellent, including to the implement at the rear and Jordan said he especially likes the mirrors, which provide excellent side and rear views on the road and of the implement in the field. Some late evening work has been carried out and the working lights are impressive.
The 6m TopDown on the heavy soils was a good match for the new crawler and during Farmers Guide’s visit, the cultivation depth was set to maximum to see how it affected performance. At 10in on the headlands the Fendt coped easily at 8–10kph, and its capability impressed Mark. “It didn’t struggle and the tractor continues to surprise me. We tend to be restricted during drilling using the more powerful 800-series Challenger, as we have to start in a low gear and change up again through the powershift steps after every headland turn. “We could drill faster, but above 12kph there is a big step to the next
gear as the clutch packs swap over which affects drilling performance, so that has become our maximum. However, I think the new Fendt Vario model with its CVT transmission will provide much greater flexibility and from what I have seen so far it has the power and traction to handle the drill. I think we will achieve higher work rates than were possible previously, while saving fuel and without increasing tractor size and weight.”
Investment stacks up The Fendt was purchased with an 8-year, 8,000-hour warranty. “Previously we updated Challengers every 3 years or 3,000 hours, but with its longer warranty giving additional peace of mind we will probably keep the Fendt longer, which should help reduce ownership costs,” explained Mark. “I’m convinced the CVT transmission will provide significant advantages for Fendt owners,” said Dave Lovell. “It’s so simple and allows users to get the most from the power available while minimising fuel use. “Ride quality is excellent and no other tracked machine comes close for comfort. Ownership and running costs should be low and the long warranty provides reassurance. We believe the new models will be popular.” ■
Fuel and time savings Mark said that although it is hard to accurately compare fuel consumption between tractors, he believes the Fendt crawler uses significantly less than the Challengers, and explained this is partly due to the low revving engine and TMS mode which makes the most of the engine’s performance. Pulling the 6m TopDown at 6–7in depth on heavy soils at 10kph, the engine was running at just 1,300, whereas Mark commented that the Challenger 765D probably couldn’t have pulled it at similar speeds, but typically required 2,100rpm in less demanding situations. Adblue use also appears lower, added Mark, but he said both tractors require a top-up each time the diesel tank is filled. Daily checks are improved and Jordan explained that hydraulic and transmission oil levels are checked in seconds using sight gauges at the rear, and the engine oil dipstick is easy to get at without removing any covers. The cooling system is similar to the Fendt 1000-series wheeled tractors with a concentric hydraulic-driven
With the Vaderstad 6m TopDown in at full 10in working depth, the Fendt didn’t struggle.

Dave has been Challenger specialist at Thurlow Nunn Standen since 2004 and said since the brand was taken on in 2003, 220 new machines have been sold, of which 75 per cent were MT700series models and 25 per cent larger MT800-series. He expects even stronger demand for the new Fendt Vario MT models.

New harvester’s ideal performance and ease of use Designed with a clean sheet of paper from the ground-up, Agco’s Ideal combine has intrigued potential users since its unveiling last year. Approximately five years of development and R&D investment totalling hundreds of millions of dollars means it has to be good enough to challenge current top brands for a share of the market. David Williams tried it out. “Design engineers were given a pair of 800/70R32 wheels and told that whatever they designed had to fit between the two when the overall width was 3.3m,” explained Fendt demonstrator Ant Risdon. “Apart from that there were few restrictions.” Early test machines were tried in a wide range of operating conditions, including in the UK where they were dressed up as older Massey Ferguson models. In early August the first demonstration machines arrived in the UK, and have been available for selected potential customers to see in action through a small number of dealers. There are three models; the Ideal 7, Ideal 8 and Ideal 9 – the number indicating the size class in line with other main brands. All are available as
‘T’ versions with tracks, or wheels. The chassis is shared between all three models and power is from AgcoPower and MAN engines.
Threshing and separation All models are rotary and the Ideal 7 has a single rotor, and the two larger models have double rotors. An innovative but simple threshing and cleaning system has been designed around the longest rotors in the industry (4.84m) for class-leading threshing, separation and cleaning performance with minimal damage and losses and low fuel consumption. From the intake elevator crop is fed through to the rotors through the RotorFeeder feeding drum. This operates at a 70 per cent fixed speed ratio to the rotor, ensuring even flow
The cab is spacious and comfortable, and controls, including the Varioterminal, are typically Fendt, well arranged and easy to use. An iPad, connected by wi-fi, allows monitoring and adjustment from inside or out of the cab.
for threshing. A large intake area and optimum speed matching keeps straw intact and saves fuel. The Helix processor has rasp bars and rotor tines in four rows. The front section has four rasp bars installed lengthways which loosen grains from the ears. Below the threshing and separation zones of the rotors is an ingenious double grain pan system called IdealBalance. Produced from
heavy duty plastic, the two pans are specifically shaped to deliver the threshed crop onto the front and centre of the grain pan where it is processed by the preparation floor and the cleaning shoe. Larger material continues along the rotor through a separation system with 20-degree rearangled tines and, as material drops through onto the second grain pan, it continued over...

is channelled to the outside sections of the preparation and cleaning shoe. The shaped grain pans have channels to direct the grain where needed, concave at the front directing grain to the centre and convex at the rear, feeding the outer edges. Combined with the Helix rotors, the IdealBalance system is key to the combine’s performance and maintains even cross flow making the most of the 2.5m wide separating
Grain tank capacity is massive. Even the smallest Ideal 7 has 12,500 litres capacity and unloads at 140-litres/sec. A larger 17,100-litre tank is an option, unloading at 210-litres/sec.
and cleaning area, and is relatively unaffected by cross-slopes up to 15 degrees, reducing losses which can occur when sieves are unevenly loaded. A new Cyclone Cleaning System contributes to efficient cleaning and uses three hydraulically-driven fans capable of operating between 250–1,400rpm. The powerful airflow is split from the first drop stage so that flow pressure and volume remains even along the entire shaker shoe length. Most short straw and chaff is separated when threshed material is dropped from the preparation floor to the intermediate floor, and the second drop sees further separation. Sieves are divided into six longitudinal sections or channels with high divisions between. Sieve opening is electrically adjusted from the cab. Grain is transferred to the tank by standard 140t/hr or optional 200t/hr elevators. Losses are detected at the end of the shaker shoe using sensors monitoring pressure and sound. Gentle crop handling leaves long straw ideal for baling in a narrow, even swath but for those chopping straw options include 56- or 112-knife straw choppers. Chopped straw is distributed across the full width of the header by a straw spreader, and the demonstration machine had optional ActiveSpread – comprising twin hydraulic spreader rotors with electrical spread pattern adjustment.
High capacity
Powerflow headers are standard, but upgraded to Superflow with a larger main auger on all except the smallest 7.7m version.
All Ideals have large grain tanks with rapid emptying as standard. Tank capacity is 12,500 litres and 140-litres/ sec emptying, or optional 17,100 litres capacity and 210-litres/sec unloading. Hydraulic grain floor flaps adjust unloading rate. Emptying a full 17,500-litre tank can be achieved in just over 80 seconds. PowerFlow tables are standard, in four widths up to 12.2m. All except the
base 7.7m version are SuperFlow, with a new larger 760mm diameter auger. Height sensors at the front maintain accurate knife height and hydraulic table angle adjustment allows precise ground contour following. The optional AutoDock table coupling system couples or de-couples the table lock, driveshafts, electrics and hydraulics in under five seconds.
Excellent cab The VisionCab is all new and shared with the latest Rogator sprayers. Controls are similar to Fendt tractors, including a large 10.4in, crystal-clear VarioTerminal touch-screen and multifunction joystick. A second, smaller display provides essential operating information at a glance. Almost 6m2 of glass windows and narrow pillars provide an almost uninterrupted 180-degree view. A unique feature is Idealharvest. This provides advanced information and driver aids and comprises an iPad running an App, connected wirelessly to the machine.
First test drive Farmers Guide tried the Fendt Ideal 8 with a 10.7m header harvesting a thick wheat crop on rolling Oxfordshire hills with some steep slopes providing a good test for IdealBalance. After heavy rain the previous day, early harvested grain was at over 19 per cent, but by lunchtime it had dropped to 15. The cab is spacious and comfortable with plenty of legroom for the 6ft 3in driver, and Fendt instructor occupying the passenger seat. Despite the seat being set well back, the full table width was visible through the panoramic front screen. Controls are well laid out and any operator used to Fendt tractors will feel immediately at home. Large rocker switches start the drum and table, the engine revs are set by an orange rotary
dial and hydrostatic transmission provides progressive movement as soon as a button behind the joystick is depressed and the stick pushed forward. Speed control is precise, but for even greater control a creep mode is selectable for tight manoeuvres or lining up to the table. The test machine had GPS mapping and autosteer and when it was approximately lined up for the bout, the joystick-mounted autosteer button was pressed and the system took over. Table height was set and memorised for automatic return and pressing the height control button on the joystick for two seconds then releasing it, caused the table to descend. HarvestPlus automatic speed control allows throughput to be set and maintained. Similar to cruise control; once set the user pushes and holds the joystick to the right until the indicator flashes on the control panel. The joystick is released and the management system constantly monitors throughput, speeding up when the crop is thinner and slowing down as denser growth is encountered. The large demonstration field’s steep slopes provided an excellent test, and the speed adjusted frequently to compensate for differences in crop volume. “Because our sensors maintain a constant working load, they sense immediately the crop volume changes and this maximises productivity, but also means losses are significantly reduced,” explained Anthony. “Traditional systems monitoring grain loss at the rear assist operators, but by the time users respond, grain has already been lost and can’t be recovered.” With HarvestPlus and autosteer activated, full attention could be given to watching the header and the table conveyor efficiently transferred cut crop from the knife to the large auger, feeding it heads first into the intake elevator. The 11t/ha wheat crop fed continued over...

smoothly without bunching in the centre, so that even feeding and rotor loading was maintained. A clever feature is automatic table raising if a hazard is encountered. Previously popular on Fendt and Massey Ferguson combines, this responds to the operator quickly pulling back the joystick, by raising the table clear of the ground. When the stick is pushed forward again, the table automatically lowers. At the headlands a nudge on the joystick disconnected automatic speed control and travel speed reduced. Two quick presses on the header lift button raised it clear of the ground. Grain tank contents are monitored on the smaller display, and the auger is extended by flicking a circular dial on the bottom left of the joystick face. When the trailer is in position the dial is depressed until it clicks and unloading starts. The combine operator can assist the trailer driver by swinging the auger forward or backwards while unloading for fine adjustment. Pressing the dial stops the flow and flicking it to the right brings the auger back in.
Automatic adjustment The demonstration machine was equipped with Idealharvest
which uses the iPad to monitor and adjust performance. Priority selection is made using a triangular image with Losses, Cracked grains and Mog (material other than grain), in the three corners. The user drags the selector towards whichever performance priorities are needed, or leaves it central for all-round optimisation. A camera records images of every paddle load of grain delivered by the clean grain elevator, and the system detects broken or cracked grains and chaff or un-threshed heads, and threshing and cleaning performance adjusts automatically. Because the iPad is connected by wi-fi, the swath can be checked and adjustments made from outside, without operator intervention. For less experienced operators this means a farm manager could check swath for losses or un-threshed grain, and adjust threshing performance while checking the image from the grain quality camera on the screen, and re-check the swath without entering or leaving the cab. Usually though, the iPad is kept in a holder on the control panel where the operator can watch the performance graphs and camera image and alter performance priorities when needed. The Ideal proved operator-friendly
IdealBalance ensures even grain distribution across the sieves, even on cross-slopes up to 15 degrees without any need for mechanical levelling. Lightweight sculpted ‘plastic’ pans oscillate forwards and backwards, accurately delivering threshed material onto the cleaning shoe.
and by the end of the 45-minute test-drive all basic controls had become familiar. The Varioterminal is intuitive with menus which are easy to select and use and the iPad offers new standards of flexibility. Harvested grain quality was excellent with low damage, losses were negligible and straw was intact with very little damage making it ideal for baling. The cab is comfortable and quiet, there is little shaking or vibration and visibility is superb. Listening to comments from farmers who tried the combine; almost all were complimentary, impressed with the performance achieved, the ease of use and the relatively simple design. ■

Tyre choice helps smooth running farm operation One of PG Rix Farms’ John Deere 6105R tractors running on Trelleborg rowcrop tyres, 380/85R34 TM600 at the front, 380/90R50 TM100 at the rear.
Choosing the right tyres initially and ensuring that they operate at the correct pressures for the application, load and speed is a priority for PG Rix Farms Ltd in Essex. Farming land throughout the Stour Valley, over an eight-mile radius from Bures in the west to Dedham in the east, day-to-day operations involve significant travel on public roads, primarily connected with crop irrigation and
transporting produce from outlying locations to the company’s base at Lodge Farm, Great Horkesley, near Colchester. Durability, reliability, low rolling resistance and competitive cost are key factors to consider when choosing tyres, states farms manager, Neil Benson (right), who joined the business in 1994. “We farm over a large area,
so our workhorse tractors spend 80 per cent of their life on the road. “Ensuring that tyres perform well, operate reliably and last the distance is crucial for timely, efficient operation of the entire business, not just the farming side but also Stourgarden Ltd, the Rix family’s produce processing and packaging business.” PG Rix Farms’ tractor fleet includes 15 tractors in the 150hp range, which do most of the everyday work. Currently, these are John Deere 6150R and 6930 models which operate either on standard 480/70R28 front and 520/85R38 rear tyres for field and road work, or 380/85R34 front, 380/90R50 rear row crop tyres, Mr Benson explains. “Initially, we specified Trelleborg to replace another brand of tyre which were factory-fitted but gave us significant

problems because of side wall failure and uneven wear, which meant that they did not last as expected. “When they came up for replacement we discussed the options with our tyre distributor, Treadfirst, and on whose recommendation we switched to Trelleborg. “Right from the start we were impressed. Trelleborg was competitively priced and the backup service was excellent. “The company’s technical and support manager, Neil Sharman, helped to set them up correctly, which included weighing an example of each main tractor model we had at the time, the John Deere 6210R and John Deere 6910 on 540/65R30 front and 620/70R42 rear tyres.” Shortly afterwards, he also supplied the business with laminated cards showing the correct tyre pressures for specific operating weights and speeds, Mr Benson recalls. “That was very helpful and just what we wanted because it continued over...

enabled operators to fine-tune tyre pressures to specific tasks, which optimised the footprint. “Immediately, this resulted in much-improved traction and performance, both in the field and on the road, with significantly better ride comfort, safety and ultimately longer tyre life across all the tractors. “That excellent support has been there ever since and is one of the reasons why we continue to favour the brand,” he adds.
Row-crop work All of PG Rix Farms’ tractors are purchased outright with a fiveyear maintenance contract. They
average 1,000 hours per year and spend the early part of the season on row-crop tyres for planting and irrigation work. In July, the row-crops are changed for standard tyres and the tractors then spend most of their time pulling 18t tandem-axle Bailey trailers, some running on Trelleborg 560/60R22.5 tyres, hauling 22,000t of onions and 6,000t of potatoes to the processing and packing plant at Lodge Farm. Tyres last around 3,000 hours, or 3 years and tractors are changed every 6 years, he says. “The bulk of our work takes place between March and midDecember. The season starts with planting potatoes and onions
during March and April, and lifting of both crops starts in July, while main crop potatoes finish at end of October and the last of the sugar beet comes out of the ground just before Christmas,” explains Mr Benson. The business uses a range of Trelleborg tractor tyres, including the TM600, which delivers impressive traction and selfcleaning, combined with high load capacity, low soil compaction and excellent wear resistance. The TM100 tyres are ideal for row crop work and deliver a comfortable drive. The quality and specification of the design and materials which are used guarantee high load capacity and exceptional
resistance to tyre fatigue. The high lug angle ensures traction in all soil conditions, while the geometry of the lugs and mud breakers provide superior self-cleaning characteristics. The round shoulders of the TM100 allow working between rows of crops without damaging the plants. “Trelleborg tyres are our first choice because the company has given excellent service over the years, the support we have received has been excellent and the products continue to develop. “Many of our tractors are now fitted with the TM700, which provides excellent traction, a more comfortable ride on the road and longer tyre life,” he concludes. ■
Farm security: What have you got to lose? Rural crime in Suffolk and Norfolk is increasing year-on-year, and that is a fact, says Security Smart UK director Jonathon Whiting, who adds that the cost of crime to rural communities is reported to be a “staggering” £800m. “Why take the risk?” he questions. “We are ‘Silver’ partners with Hikvision and apart from giving customers a three year
warranty on all products and installations, we can also pass on our discounts to make our prices exceptionally competitive,” points out Mr Whiting. “We want to help protect homes and businesses and, in our eyes, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind and security,” he suggests. “As a family run business, Security Smart prides itself in
customer service and, most importantly, aftercare – ensuring customers remain satisfied after installation of their security system. “Why not get a free survey and quote? Dare I say; what have you got to lose?” he concludes. ■ The company has a huge range of high-quality cameras offering superb features ideally suited to farms looking to protect machinery.

Potatoes
Good airflow vital in box store set up Nearly all the potatoes produced for the fresh market are stored in boxes.
Relatively small amounts of expenditure can greatly improve the efficiency and running costs of box potato stores, the results of a major industry trial shows. The two-year project identifies a number of ways in which owners of both existing and new stores can improve their performance by either retro-fitting a range of features to improve the even-ness of airflow throughout the store, or installing them as original equipment. “Box stores still account for over half of all UK storage, so the results are highly significant, says AHDB Sutton Bridge head of crop storage, Adrian Cunnington (left). The trial was industry led*, with 70 per cent of the £800,000 funding coming from Innovate UK. The primary industrial partner was Crop Systems Ltd, a store designer and developer. The project was run in a specially built 30 per cent model store at Sutton Bridge, and in commercial facilities, including those operated by Branston. It included what may be the most detailed monitoring of airflows ever completed in a potato store, says Mr Cunnington. “We took measurements at every slot in the face of a box store at both ends of the store, so on a stack that was 10 boxes wide and 8 boxes high that was a total of 160 airflow monitors. “In standard form we found that nearly 75 per cent of the air produced by the fans to dry and cool the crop wasn’t going through the boxes but was disappearing everywhere else. “There was massive inefficiency in such systems so we started to examine how we can improve that by installing
plenum walls, and testing the use of side and top sheets. This improved airflow dramatically – by as much as a factor of three. “Nearly all the potatoes produced for the fresh market are stored in boxes, and so a significant proportion of the crop is held in long-term storage”.
Huge differences Prior to this project AHDB and FEC Energy carried out a trial that indicated huge differences in the efficiency with which energy was being used. “That started to ring alarm bells, because we were finding store running costs of £4/t in the best stores, but £12/t in the worst. We began to examine what the cause of those differences was, and there are a number of things which come into play.” The project highlighted one key difference between bulk and box stores, says Crop Systems managing director Ray Andrews (right). “Bulk stores with underfloor ducts work well because the air literally has nowhere else to go but through the crop. In box stores the air comes out of ducts above the crop and we have much less control over where it goes. “We found some instances where boxes at the far end of the store saw virtually no air movement at all.” Following the model store tests the project evaluated the use of
a plenum wall at the fan end of a commercial store, and also added side curtains. “Achieving good airflow right across the store is crucial to getting heat out of the crop and keeping potatoes in best condition. It also helps ensure that refrigeration works efficiently and with less need for defrosting, which has a dramatic effect on running costs. “It is also essential for the consistent distribution of CIPC. If airflow isn’t good then distribution will be inefficient and uneven,” said Mr Andrews. “In such instances store operators might be tempted to raise the application rate to try and improve the coverage in areas with poorer airflow, which might risk exceeding application limits. “If airflow is poor there is still a risk you might fail to control sprouting in the far corners of the store,” he commented.
Case study Mr Cunnington says the partners in the project want to translate the findings into more ‘case study’ work in commercially run stores to complete the research. “We need more data on running costs, and to collect this both before and after any changes to the store equipment have been made so we can measure how these ideas work in practice.” The research is already producing benefits for Branston, which has used the project to steer improvements to the stores it and its supplying farmers run. Agronomy director David Nelson said the variability of temperatures in box stores had been an issue for the whole industry for years, as had
variability of CIPC distribution. His company was keen to find solutions to the problems, which is why it hosted some of the commercial trials in its stores. “We were keen to see how we could achieve uniformity of airflow and CIPC coverage, and avoid the hot/cold spots that can have a negative impact on crop quality. “We aim to store potatoes as warm as possible (around 4oC), but need to ensure that temperature is consistent right across the store to prevent the potatoes exceeding the base temperature for sprouting. “If we cannot achieve that temperature consistently we may need to run fridges at a lower temperature or for longer periods to compensate. Both of those options raise storage costs.” The company has already seen significant improvements from installing a plenum wall to prevent air short-circuiting around the fan and ensure more ventilation passes through the boxes. “We did consider using curtains, but felt they would not be as air-tight as a solid plenum face. This could be installed in pretty well any store with floor mounted fridges.” The upgrade at Branston has enabled the company to store crops for longer and use CIPC more effectively, reducing the need for other sprout suppressants. *Other partners in the trial included AHDB (storage research); Branston Ltd (producer and processor); Stored Crop Conservation (fogging); FEC Energy (energy efficiency); The Technology Research Centre (CFD and design software) and Aceto Agrochemical Corporation Ltd (CIPC deposition). Scientific knowledge and validation for the project was provided by AHDB and Cranfield University. ■

running the hopper floor, roller table and the crop elevator services. This new transfer system offers the larger grower or contractor the opportunity to spread the investment of the KUW system into the potato planting season by being able to transfer seed potatoes straight into planters, claims the company. Moreover, by being able to hold 16–25t of seed in one trailer, it can remove the need for a forklift and flat trailers carrying boxes to the fields, says Suffolk Farm Machinery. After two years of testing, a new transfer trailer has been added to Hawe-Wester’s range, importer Suffolk Farm Machinery has announced. Suitable for potatoes, onions, beetroot, carrots and parsnips, the new trailer will be based on two and three-axle chassis with a capacity of between 16–25t of crop, it explains. Moreover, there is a full width and adjustable for distance cleaner roller table system that takes the crop from the hydraulic driven hopper floor to the fully hydraulic driven and folding
crop elevator to the waiting bulkers or trailers, says Suffolk Farm Machinery. The elevator is on the same styling with buckets taking the crop in the same gentle fashion as current potato harvesters, it adds.
Bunker Under the cleaning roller table is a large steel bunker capable of holding trash, soil and under-sized crop which opens via the control panel to release the bunker load back across the field, says the company.
The transfer system keeps just one trailer working with the harvester, reducing ground compaction, mud on the road and the need for expensive flotation tyres on standard trailers running down the road loaded. In addition, the hopper is tapered and has one lower side for the harvester to unload into and the opposite side is higher to gain cubic capacity. The KUW has its own PTO driven hydraulic system driving the pump packs, taking pressure off the tractor

New East of England agents for potato handling systems Bulk hopper grading installations designed by Bijlsma Hercules can lead to reduced operating costs.
“After speaking with existing and potential new customers over the past months, this was a decision easily made, with positive comments received from all.”
Grading process
Aimed at strengthening its distribution network for potato handling systems, Bijlsma Hercules has appointed CTM Root Crop Systems as agents for the East of England, the company has announced. “Following the success of our Rockstar de-stoners and Ridgestar
ridgers, it seems logical to address the packhouse needs of the potato and general vegetable grower,” says CTM Root Crop Systems product manager Karl Arndt. “We have been well impressed by the Bijlsma Hercules’ design team and the build quality of its equipment range.
Bulk hopper grading installations designed by Bijlsma Hercules enable the grading process to take place with a minimum of operating personnel, the company claims. Its space-saving idea, combined with more favourable working conditions, can lead to lowering of costs in operations, it adds. Moreover, a bulk hopper installation can improve the quality of product because of the shorter distances that the product has to travel. Installations can be provided in the area of weighing, packing and palletizing of various labourreducing components, says CTM, noting that in most cases it is possible to integrate existing equipment in
the installations. Moving on to destoners, Mr Arndt says the Rockstar2’s new features should ensure fast, effective and money-saving de-stoning. Additionally, the sieving performance has been improved by a new web design which aids the free flow of soil, he reveals. “On certain soil types it is the drops and cascading of soil from one web to the next where you get the separation and on the light lands on the Norfolk/ Suffolk borders, the Rockstar2 is the ideal option,” explains Mr Arndt. “Because the webs are moving soil all the time, you do not have to use the power-driven scrubbers to push the material through. “While fewer webs might give similar results, Rockstar2’s five webs ensure faster performance, and time is money.” The new machine’s modular design offers greater flexibility enabling the user to replace a web with stars to tackle heavier soils, answering a specific request from customers with variable soil conditions. ■

Efficient nematicide application The Bed Mixer from Bye Engineering enables efficient incorporation of granular nematicides.
With the huge cost of nematicides, potato growers should consider the most efficient methods of application. Bye Engineering based at Melton in East Suffolk has been manufacturing the Bed Mixer for nearly 20 years. The design, manufacturing and processes have evolved over the years but the fundamental concept remains the same and is ideal for nematicide granule incorporation. Available in both single and triple bed formats, and front or rear mounted, the Bed Mixer has been designed specifically to ‘mix’ and not cultivate. It offers immediate, accurate and efficient incorporation at the correct depth, in the correct place
without over cultivating the bed. The Bed Mixer is used predominantly front mounted during potato planting, offering increased work efficiencies and cost savings. However, rear mounted, triple bed versions are also proving popular where general bed tillers over cultivate and leave the nematicide too deep in the soil profile, explains the company. The Bed Mixer system eliminates expensive errors with poor placement or incorporation thus maximising the efficiency and efficacy of nematicides, says Bye Engineering. The Bed Mixer is robust and reliable with low power requirement, geared to run at low engine revs to suit planting speeds. It is also designed to carry additional applicators such as tanks for in-furrow treatments or liquid fertiliser. ■

New temperature controllers also provide crop humidity adjustment Operators can access the touch screen on tablets or smart phones.
An extended range of touch screen temperature controllers, including a model for drying and cooling onions, is now available, Farm Electronics has announced. This new controller uses a combined humidity and temperature sensor manufactured by the company. Using up to eight of these sensors in the onion crop, together with one ambient sensor outside and one duct sensor, this new controller will provide crop humidity control for stages one and two of onion drying and curing, the company explains.
This will then provide temperature control for cooling in stage three, long term storage, it says. The new controller can be connected to the internet by either a landline or GSM connection to allow the operator to access the touch screen on their tablet or smart phone, says Farm Electronics, adding that a remote screen is also possible. The controller’s introduction means the company now manufactures complete systems for onion drying and storage, comprising ventilation equipment including fans, gas heaters and louvres as well as refrigeration equipment and a control system. “Now we have these new touch screen controls together with access to our Vision Control and equipment manufactured by our Dutch parent company Tolsma, Farm Electronics is in a market leading position to supply the most advanced potato and onion storage equipment in the UK,” says technical sales engineer Elizabeth Thornley.

Consider new and used packing equipment The difficult conditions in spring and summer mean widespread potato weight loss and stressing – yet prices remain static. Growers and packers need to consider all the options when it comes to replacing handling machinery according to Gary Palmer of Cambridgeshire-based David Harrison Handling Systems which deals in new, used and rebuilt systems. He reports increased interest in the small Prinsen palletiser due in part to the decreasing availability of workers from Eastern Europe. “Realistically, a Prinsen palletiser can comfortably maintain 9.5 tons an hour, stacking up to 11 layers of 20kg bags,” he says, Prinsen also manufacture a system for handling and stitching hessian and net bags, with options of tape and label applicators, he adds. The manufacturers multihead weigher is available with 10 or 12 weighing scales. It uses speed adjustable belts instead of vibrator channels to feed the weighing scales. Belts are not susceptible to dirt build ups
and work well with non-washed potatoes. “These are our most intelligent systems yet and yet are simplest to set up,” says Gary. “It’s all about speed and accuracy. The high speed, electronic weigher prepares the pre-set weight in its stainless steel weighing buckets and discharges it on the command of the bagging machine. The weighing process is continuous with constant weight checks. Harrisons is also UK distributor for vegetable bagging and handling equipment from the Essex-based Sack Filling Company. The company’s latest range includes bagging and weighing machines (10-25kg), a pre-pack unit, sealing systems with medium/ heavy duty stitchers and a range of options including sack presenters and placers, powered in-feed belt and conveyors. David Harrison also offers a large range of used and refurbished pack
house machinery. “Not only do refurbished lines represent good value, but with a reduced choice of UK manufacturers, delivery times on new kit have dramatically increased so a rebuilt system can save time as well,” says Gary.

Scottish machinery manufacturer ScanStone has opened a new depot in Lakenheath, Suffolk. The 12,500ft2 premises will offer customers a service centre and parts department as well as a service and workshop area and dry machine storage. “We believe that Lakenheath is in a key area for the potato growing operation in East Anglia and the depot is strategically placed so that it will service the rest of southern England and also northern France where our market penetration
is growing exponentially,” says ScanStone’s William Skea. Area and depot manager Ashley Sismey deals with day to day enquiries for ScanStone as well as active parts and machinery sales. He carries out demonstrations of products across the entire ScanStone range. “We have already started stocking Lakenheath with spare parts and webs for the 2018/19 season to give all our valued customers in East Anglia the best possible service and parts back-up,” he says. ■
Time to overhaul potato machinery Upgrading or investing in new potato machinery won’t be on the cards for all growers this year but a complete overhaul to existing kit may be an option. Agricultural engineering firm Steve Thorley has invested in a generator, compressor and shot blasting set up to offer growers this new service. “It’s an idea we’ve had in the back of our minds for a few years, but now, the timing seemed ideal. The new kit allows us to fully strip down a machine, shot blast, spray paint and reassemble with a full service, fresh oil and filters,” says Steve Thorley. There are many benefits to this complete overhaul, he says. “With stripping the machine down totally, we get so see every panel,
every bearing and every seal. This thorough investigation leads to a comprehensive service. “With a freshly painted machine arriving back on farm, a grower can be proud of the equipment and assured the machine can keep on working for several more seasons to come.” Alongside activities of sales and service of in-field and in-store potato equipment, Steve Thorley offers a variety of engineering services including welding, fabrication, machining, spray painting and now shot blasting.

possible to obtain regulatory approval in the UK. Bayer hopes to change that in time for next season and has trialled the preemergence herbicide, which works as a bleaching agent with reported strong activity against small nettle, brassica weeds and chenopodium species, across a range of sites and soil types in England and Scotland. Bayer claims aclonifen contributes
to the control of mayweed, grass weeds (from seed) and polygonum species. Overseeing the herbicide trial at Elveden is agronomist Graham Tomalin of VCS Potatoes. He described aclonifen as “offering a useful weed spectrum that is in line with the manufacturer’s claims and has demonstrated good crop safety across a range of varieties”.
Herbicide attracts attention The performance of a herbicide featuring a new mode of action aroused more interest among potato growers than that of existing products or combinations of products at a the recent AHDB SPot Farm East field walk at Elveden Estate. As part of a series of trials AHDB is running on the estate, the herbicide trial considered the
weed spectrum and crop safety considerations of a range of widely used products including SP01644, a new product from Bayer, containing the active ingredient, aclonifen. Although new to the UK, there is wide experience of efficacy of the product from many years of commercial use on the continent, but it has previously not been

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live
Cultivator ticking all the boxes on organic farm too much soil structure,” he adds. “Alongside the weed control, we need a cultivator that can cope with our wide range of soil types, is able to work stubbles to create a decent chit, incorporate both farmyard and green manures such as mustard and work down ploughed land. Basically we need a cultivator that can work 12 months of the year,” points out Mr Williams.
Cultivator choice p The Catros at work. t The Catros has been praised for how it folds for transport.
Pollybell, one of the Loveden Estate farms, is an award-winning organic farm owned and run by the Brown family which has been farming in the East Midlands for over 120 years. Extending to approximately 2,000ha of land in the Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire areas, Pollybell started its conversion to organic farming back in 1997 and, in 2000, the whole farm was given organic status. To go alongside the regular cropping of wheat, barley and field beans, the business is well known for its vegetables; growing brassicas such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower as well as carrots, leeks and onions. There is also a flock of sheep and land down
to rotational pasture. Soil type varies dramatically with the majority being peat, which, while being moisture retentive and nutrient rich making it ideal for growing the wide range of crops that Pollybell produces, it also creates another set of challenges when it comes to cultivation. Peaty soils can become very “fluffy” when worked says the farm’s machinery operator Jonny Williams. “This causes the soil to bulldoze and block an implement, meaning you have to slow down and let the blockage clear,” he says. When farming organically, the cultivator is your glyphosate, he continues. “It is one of the main weapons in the armoury to control weeds and so that is why we need a cultivator that can cover the ground fast – move everything so that we are cutting weeds off at the roots, but work shallow so that we aren’t loosing
In the past Pollybell Farm has used a variety of disc and press combinations or disc and tine cultivators, but in autumn 2017 the farm embarked on the hunt for a new cultivator. After trying a number of different makes, the farm settled upon the Amazone Catros 120032TS. The Catros is a compact disc harrow, designed to work shallow, but move the whole surface, mixing and chopping any residues and then reconsolidating the surface with a roller to produce good seed-tosoil contact to promote volunteer regrowth. Available in a range of working widths starting at 3m, Pollybell settled upon the range topping 12003-2TS with its 12m working width. “What we liked about it when we tried it was how well it coped with our soils and residues and that it moved the entire surface, without having to go too deep, which other machines just didn’t do,” comments Mr Williams. The Catros comes with the choice of either smooth or serrated 510mm
58081
discs and a wide selection of rollers. Pollybell chose the serrated discs for their working depth of 5–14cm and their ability to handle large quantities of crop residue. The large diameter Matrix Wedge ring roller gave the machine good “carrying ability” on the peaty soils and a self-driving effect minimised the risk of bulldozing, making it easy to pull while providing good surface reconsolidation. This “easy pull” has been seen on the farm’s new Fendt 1050 using only 30–40-litres of diesel/hr while travelling at 14kph. Allied to all of this is the cultivator’s ability to hug the contours of the field using a ContourFrame. Each of the four segments can find its own level and maintain its working depth accurately. “What I like about the Catros is that it feels refined; it‘s been well thought out and how it folds for transport is excellent. It is so compact for transport that getting in and out of our narrow gateways isn’t an issue,” he says. “The way that the soil flows through the discs means there are no choke points and its ability to cope with crop residues is incredible. We can go straight into mustard crops without the need to top first, cutting out an extra pass,” he comments. “We have found a cultivator that has ticked all the boxes we require, my only wish was that we’d specified auto lube. It’s a long walk round from one side to the other when greasing up!” ■ Siskin wheat drilled 3 November 2017
Take-All and Black-Grass Taken Out Imagine farming without Take-All and black-grass and growing an 85% wheat rotation at 4t/acre with 15% rape at 2t/acre. Well that’s exactly what Triton farmers are doing and with wheat at £200/t this year (and November 2019 prices high also) this is the time to go to the Triton system. Triton farms had record rape and wheat yields this year and specific weights of 82–88kg/hl. The Triton all-weather side-press seed drill gives a 6-inch deep rooting slot and lateral rooting guidance system to give the plants maximum growth potential. The lateral side press seed slot closure is peerless for crop establishment.

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live
Strip-till system opens up new opportunities for young farmer Herbert Hindley (left) and Andy McLellen with the Mzuri drill behind them.
Herbert Hindley is a fourth generation farmer and first generation strip-tiller who’s ventured into the realms of increased yields, improved soil structure and reduced costs. Thanks to selective tillage, Mr Hindley now manages over 1,000ha across a combination of owneroccupied and tenanted estates with a whole range of soil types. The young farmer puts his recent success down
to a change of thinking and adopting a more holistic approach to farming, backed by his forward-thinking agronomist Andy McLellan. When Mr Hindley, from Warrington in Cheshire, took on Sand Farm in 2012 at the age of just 21, the soils had suffered from years of excessive cultivation and, as a result, very little flourished in the sandy loam.
“I put seed in the ground and it wouldn’t grow,” Mr Hindley said. The 141ha farm yielded an average of just 3.7t/ha in 2012 – something both Mr Hindley and Mr McLellan were desperate to improve on. Mr McLellan joined the team in 2014 and was keen to look at ways of improving the soil structure through nutrition and reduced cultivation. Not a fan of turning the soil, he first came across the Mzuri strip tillage system working in Northumberland and described it as being “just right”. Mr McLellan was confident that strip tillage offerd the perfect combination of targeted tilth and minimum cultivation needed to improve soil productivity and health. A successful demo was all it took for the pair to be taken with the new system. The bushel weight was up on the demo plot from 76 to 81kg/hl and the crop “poured off ”. Mr Hindley purchased a Dual Tank Pro-Til 3T drill in the Autumn of 2016 and says that he hasn’t looked back since.
Mr Hindley operates a six-year rotation of barley, oilseed rape, wheat, beans, wheat and then oats. In the first year of using the drill, beans did very well however barley suffered from high levels of compaction across the farm. To rectify the issues caused by years of heavy cultivations, the farm purchased a Mzuri Rehab low disturbance subsoiler. The Rehab has been the turning point for Mr Hindley: “Going out with the Rehab broke up compaction and allowed the system to truly come into its own.” When the farm switched to the Mzuri Pro-Til drill, soil health and structure improved after just one year. “You can smell the difference in the soil,” said Mr McLellan. “Since autumn 2016 the soils have developed a more composty, organic smell and earthworms have been flourishing.” The business has been retaining the surface residue from the previous crop as much as possible as the best way to return nutrients to the soil continued over...

and increase organic matter content. It also helps to maintain moisture where it’s needed and provide an accessible food source for worms, points out Mr McLellan. On the original demonstration site, which has benefited from the longest conversion to strip tillage, the top layer of soil is noticeably darker, with stubble completely broken down from the previous year’s crop. “The other advantage of the
system, without a shadow of a doubt, is the wider row spacing. With better light interception, you don’t get a build-up of mildew and naturally create more airflow. As a result, the plants look stronger and healthier.” In fact, to prove the point, albeit from an operator error, one field of winter wheat was mistakenly drilled at 70kg/ha (rather than 170kg/ha), however the additional light interception resulted in a crop yielding 15.8t/ha in 2017 – just shy

of the World Record. Mr Hindley is eagerly anticipating yield results this harvest and reckons that future world records are now well within reach.
Slug control Later in the 2016 season, Mr Hindley purchased the Mzuri Rezult rake as part of a wider strategy to control slugs and weeds. The farm now operates a policy to rake after combining and before drilling in order to destroy slug habitats and eggs. Turning eggs onto dry straw on a hot day has proved a very effective method of pest control. As well as providing mechanical control, being fitted with a slug pellet applicator, the Mzuri Rezult rake is capable of giving slugs a double hit. The one-pass system has meant Mr Hindley has been able to purchase a new combine with savings he’s achieved over the past two years, further improving efficiency across the farm. He says he is confident that the savings will continue and he will look to reduce fertiliser inputs over the coming years as the soil structure and fertility improves, while using ‘bioscience’ to maximise soil health.
Thanks to the soil’s increasing ability to retain nutrients and the farm’s straw retention policy, Mr McLellan believes the farm could see a reduction in fertiliser use next year from 185 to 170 units of N/ha. Yields across the farm increased by 10 per cent in the first year and Mr McLellan was delighted when the 2017 harvest came in at an average of 12.2t/ha, including the yield from the near record-breaking crop. Even excluding that crop, the average came in at 9.8t/ha – a massive improvement for the farm.
A second drill Fully invested in strip tillage and reaping the rewards, Mr Hindley purchased a second drill in 2017 to keep up with the demands of taking on more land and has a third machine on order for this autumn. His success with the Mzuri system has brought opportunities to take on more land within the area. The expansion is now possible due to consolidating arable operations into a single manageable pass. Mr Hindley is confident that reduced tillage is the future and, in these uncertain times, can make farming profitable again. ■

grass and other weed seeds to travel down through the soil profile to cause problems in years ahead, warns Bullock Tillage. Minimum tillage offers a good opportunity to get most weed seeds and volunteers to germinate rapidly so they can be sprayed off prior to planting, it says.
The manufacturer offers a range of disk harrows from 3-6m working width in both mounted and semimounted format to produce the ideal 2-3in surface tillage enabling rapid weed seed germination. Prices start at £7,800 plus delivery. Direct seeding is increasingly popular and can enable farmers to plant later in the Autumn allowing a longer period to help tackle weed seed burdens. The straw harrow with front mounted discs has aided this method of crop establishment by re-distributing crop residue, tackling slug populations and
creating a very shallow tilth says Bullock. This allows for rapid weed seed germination without creating problems that deeper tillage can cause if conditions turn wet and soil carrying capacity for machinery is then affected. The BM 7.5m Mulch Harrow from Bullock Tillage has hydraulically adjustable turbo discs mounted in front of 5 rows of tines which enables farmers to create a shallow tilth if required. The Mulch Harrow is priced at £12,995 complete with hydraulically adjustable disc units, tine angle and road lighting. ■
Therefore when the third wheat is drilled in November there is almost no take-all innoculum to multiply. This means that 3rd, 4th and 5th wheats can continue to yield like a 2nd wheat, he claims. By drilling rape just one year in seven slugs are minimised and the yield will be around 4.9t/ha on good land. Triton had one area of 15ha of virgin rape land yield 5.93tha in the 2018 harvest. “If we can get this rape
yield on 15 per cent of the farm then that’s the labour and the diesel paid for the whole farm,” says Mr Chaplin. “Many people think it’s the just the drilling date that controls the grass weeds, but it’s equally the Triton’s Delta blade that gives the dramatic results. On Triton farms we didn’t apply any grass weed herbicide to 50 per cent of the land we drilled in the winter and almost no grass weeds came up.”
Timing – and kit – is everything The timing of cultivations can dramatically reduce weed problems and give maximum profitability. Seed drill manufacturer Triton recommends drilling wheat in November which can reduce black-grass and take-all allowing for rotations of 85 per cent wheat and 15 per cent rape. On Triton’s own farmland 10 per cent of the wheat is spring wheat but drilled in November to satisfy the
three crop rule but it still yields like winter wheat, the company says. “The Triton can drill wet clay soundly in November to achieve this profitable rotation. The Triton is a vertical tillage direct-seed drill that performs equally well in a prepared seedbed.” Triton CEO Simon Chaplin claims that by drilling a second wheat in November the low level of take-all from the first wheat has little effect.

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live
Patience is key if planning cultivations A 7.5m Claydon straw harrow operating on the Claydon farms.
Higher grain prices will not compensate for yields being 10-20 per cent lower on many farms following weeks of extreme dry weather. Producers should therefore avoid over-spending on establishing next season’s crops, advises farmer and strip-seeding pioneer Jeff Claydon. “Having the patience to wait for optimum conditions for effective stubble management and not overcultivating land ahead of drilling will be hard to do, but is essential to achieve clean, well-established crops going into winter,” he adds. “Effective stubble management is an essential component of any efficient, sustainable, profitable crop production system. Operations must
be well-timed and carried out correctly to ensure that they are effective and produce the full benefits.” The key is to achieve an optimum tilth, he says. At the first opportunity, Jeff goes over stubbles with a 15m Claydon straw harrow which creates a fine 25mm-deep tilth. This helps to evenly distribute trash and crop residues, destroys any slugs or eggs that might be present and encourages weeds and volunteers to germinate. Then after two months of baking sun and drought followed by rain after harvest, one pass with the 15m straw harrow created a superb tilth to germinate weeds. Even if no green shoots are visible on the surface, weeds and volunteers will still be growing under the chopped straw. Using the straw harrow when they are less than 20mm tall will kill 70 per cent of them and repeating the operation several times will dramatically reduce populations. ■
Creating the optimum seedbed A flagship Eco range of no-till tine seed drills will be on-show at this year’s Tillage-Live event, Dale Drills has announced. The Eco-Drill is fitted with Dale Drills’ 12mm wide, ‘J’ shaped, tungsten carbide tipped tine. This has been designed to create the optimum level of tilth, reduce soil disturbance, and ensure adequate fine soil particles are created for a good seed-soil contact, the company explains. With seedbeds expected to be drier than normal this autumn, these benefits are likely to pay dividends this year, claims Dale Drills. Drilling assemblies are also fitted with puncture proof, steel, depth setting press wheels. An adjustable hydraulic packing pressure is applied to these press wheels allowing operators to achieve the desired consolidating pressure, further adding to the moisture preserving qualities of the drill, adds the company. This year has seen the launch of a new layout Eco-XL, the largest of the company’s range available in widths from 9–13.5m. The Eco-XL hopper
(available with up to 11,800-litre capacity) is positioned between the tractor and toolbar, allowing for easy access for filling and calibrating. The toolbar, which hydraulically folds in 5 sections down to less than 3m wide and 4m high, is fitted with 710mm wide, low ground pressure tyres, explains the company. These are positioned within the drilling toolbar so weight is transferred from the land wheels to the drilling units when in use. Additionally, stabilising wheels are positioned on the outer wings to provide an even drilling platform for the Eco drilling assemblies to work from. ■

Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live
Plan your liming now Ignoring declining soil pH will lead to acidic field conditions that will directly influence crop yield and quality. According to the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) there is a prolonged liming deficit in both arable and grassland rotations, with just 8.4 per cent of arable and 3.6 per cent grassland rotations being limed. “This practice will not sustain yield and profitability,” says British Sugar which manufactures LimeX. Lime use is pretty much at an all-time low, despite other far more costly inputs being scrutinised and optimised by advisers and growers
alike. However, pH values below 6.5 on mineral soil will start to impact significantly on the efficient utilisation of costly N, P, K and other nutrients often applied annually in both rotations. The 2017 PAAG survey data revealed that 16 per cent of arable and 53 per cent of grassland soil samples tested at, or below pH 6.0. Robust soil pH testing is at the core of an effective liming policy to avoid consequential loss of yield and quality by maintaining pH at an appropriate level for the rotation. Ignoring soil pH and available calcium can prove to be a very costly mistake even in the short to medium term.

Once the soil pH results have been determined it is then lime quality that matters most when it comes to the rate and longevity of pH correction. With over 85 per cent passing 150 micron sieve, and minimum 95% reactivity, LimeX offers unrivalled
fast, but lasting pH correction in arable and grassland rotations, and can be used in organic farming systems. Furthermore, the integral nutrient package within LimeX contributes to maintaining soil fertility and increases available calcium.
Chit quality The 2018 summer drought has created a ‘wonderful opportunity’ for an orderly stubble clean up by delaying any unnecessary cultivation, says Remac which offers its RemacSystem. This gives time to inspect the stubble to see if it has all been chopped well, and if there are any green patches that need spot spraying. When stubble is clean, a light topping will help to get the best possible chit by not cultivating too soon. It is good practice to keep all the residue as near to the top of the surface as possible by simply applying a light roller or using a topper, says Remac. The warmth of the soil and the damp nights are ideal for creating the perfect chit. The ground can then be lightly cultivated, or the chit sprayed out. This works out cheaper and more effective in the long run. Soil structure is important, as good drainage encourages crop competition and at the same time discourages black-grass. Cultivations which loosen and mix soil horizons together benefit black-grass as its seeds can be distributed through the profile, rather than remaining either near the surface where chemical action is strongest or buried at depths from where the seeds cannot emerge. This action, maintaining soil horizons while providing an effective fissuring action, makes the Soil Loosener a valuable aid to blackgrass management. This loosening action is also focussed on shallow and medium depths, these being the most common areas of concern today. Generally, deeper soil damage is less frequently found, and is usually best solved by roots and nature. ■

Many considerations for the role of tyres The Vredestein Flotation Trac.
Optimal footprint for soil preservation was the aim with development of the Vredestein Radial Flotation tyres. The Trac tyre from the range features a large, wide contact surface to ensure that it stays above ground with low rolling resistance, reducing rutting and decreasing fuel consumption. The even, low pressure in the contact surface of the Vredestein Flotation Trac reduces soil compaction,
enabling higher yields, says the manufacturer. Meanwhile extra robust versions of the Flotation Pro and Flotation Trac have been developed specifically for the demanding UK market in 560/60 R22.5. “Farmers in UK nowadays are using their trailers more for transport on roads and are driving faster. More robust tyres with a longer lifespan are required,” says Vredestein. “Furthermore, in stony areas, penetration resistance needs to be at the highest level. Last, stability on slopes needs to be guaranteed to work safely and comfortably.” With these factors in mind Vredestein has developed tyres that feature an innovative bead, a special carcass and a stronger belt. The resulting 560/60 R 22.5 165D is available now in Flotation Trac and Flotation Pro.
The new Lemken Diamant 16 semi-mounted plough will make its first UK appearance at Tillage-Live this September.
New semi-mounted plough launched A new addition to the Diamant plough range, the Lemken Diamant 16, has been launched, Lemken has announced. The range has a new feature, ‘OptiLine’, which provides an adjustment system for this type of plough to prevent lateral pull during ploughing, the company explains, adding that this system has already been awarded a DLG Silver medal. The choice of applications for this plough has also been broadened to cater for larger tractors with greater pulling power, says Lemken. Additionally, the traction booster from the Diamant 11 range has been expanded by a feature for reducing pressure at the headlands, contributing to fuel savings, says the company. This allows higher system
pressures, which result in even more weight being shifted from the plough and front tractor axle to the rear tractor axle. As a result, the tractor/plough combination gains greater pulling force, it adds. The dimensions of all main bearings have been enlarged and the on-land version has also been updated, allowing the implement to be used with tractors with an external width of up to 4m, it says. This ensures that the wheels always maintain a sufficient distance from the furrow edges, even in difficult conditions. The continuously variable hydraulic working depth adjustment is another innovation and the proven hydromatic overload protection ensures disruption-free ploughing in rocky soils, adds Lemken. ■

The Terradic 3001 Multiline from Pottinger.
Autumn Cultivations & Tillage-Live
Combine range taking automation to a new level
Modular min-till system To help meet the demands of small and mid-sized farms Pottinger has developed the modular Multiline cultivator and seed drill combination. This flexible system can be specified either with the Terradisc disc harrow or the flexible Synkro tine cultivator up front. The Multiline system can be used solo as a standalone cultivator or in combination with the company’s Vitasem mechanically metered or the Aerosem pneumatic seed drills. With a hydraulically controlled linkage system the seed drill element can be removed quickly allowing the operator to single-handedly dismount the drill. The dismounted drill can also be paired up with a Pottinger Lion power harrow for more challenging soil conditions. In the Multiline concept the leading cultivator takes care of
the soil cultivation which is then consolidated and levelled by the full width rubber tyre packer ahead of the mounted seed drill. The option to split the combination offers greater flexibility than a traditional trailed mintill drill system, says Pottinger, suiting farms with a range of soil types and conditions. Its trailed design means that a smaller tractor (from 130hp) can be used. The trailed system also allows for excellent manoeuvrability when turning at the field headland whereupon the cultivator and drill are hydraulically raised clear of work with the weight borne by the rubber tyre packer. The rubber tyre packer features offset wheels avoiding harmful smearing when turning and to ensure a smooth ride both in field and on the road. ■

This groundbreaking feature, which won the silver medal at the AgriTechnica Innovation Award 2017, delivers significant advantages to the customers’ productivity, claims New Holland. This includes increased daily output, reduced grain loss and improved grain quality, says the company. Moreover, the operator can choose from four strategies: limited loss, best grain quality, maximum capacity, or fixed throughput. The patented cleaning shoe sensors provide precise load measurements, and the combine will proactively constantly adapt Twin Roto speed and vane angle, fan speed and the opening of pre-sieve, upper and lower sieve to automatically deliver the desired result, it explains. The automatic rotor vane adjustment improves the rotor’s power efficiency without impacting the threshing and separation settings, it claims. Additionally, the CR Revelation’s IntelliCruise crop feeding system, which matches the forward speed to crop load, features automated ground speed functions and offers three harvesting strategies: the maximum capacity strategy which
increases the combine’s ground speed to reach maximum engine load or maximum ground speed; the fixed throughput strategy which varies ground speed to maintain a pre-set load on the combine; and the limited loss strategy which varies ground speed to maintain a set flow, explains New Holland. If losses become excessive, throughput is reduced to limit them, it adds. The company’s CR Revelation range has also been extended with a new entry level model, the CR7.80. The combine is powered by a new Cursor 9 common rail engine with 275kW (374 hp) rated power and 305kW (415 hp) maximum power, New Holland has revealed. The company’s head of harvesting product line Lars Skjoldager Sørensen, says: “The CR Revelation combine is once again setting the industry’s benchmark: the world record holder and most productive and highcapacity combine in the world, has taken efficiency to an entirely new level, significantly cutting harvesting costs through reduced losses and best-in-class grain sample. “It has made a significant step forward in automation, taking over decision making from the driver to optimise output, grain quality and operator comfort.” ■

Lightweight professional saw put through its paces
Stihl’s new lightweight MS462 C-M chainsaw was put through its paces by Elveden Farms cutting up large oak and chestnut.
Stihl’s latest addition to its high performance chainsaw range combines lightweight and high power in a compact package, and is described as a true all-rounder. Farmers Guide borrowed it for a week to find out how it performs. David Williams reports. The MS 462 C-M is at the upper end of the size range typically used on UK farms and is ideal for those felling or sectioning larger diameter trees. The engine is 72.2cc and produces 6hp (4.4kW) but without the bar and chain it weighs only 6kg, making it the lightest saw in its size class, claims the company. Recommended bar options are 18, 20 and 25in. To find out how it performs in a typical farm situation, Farmers Guide lent it to Elveden Farms on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. The farm is part of Elveden Estate and includes 4,000ha of cropping and approximately 1,400ha of commercial and amenity woodland, much of it plantations and shelterbelts. The forestry department assistant
Assistant foreman Jake Rolph was the main user.
foreman Jake Rolph was the main user of the new saw. His usual saw is a 59.8cc model, with an 18in bar and typical tasks include felling, hedge and woodland clearance, firewood preparation and clearing wind-blown trees and branches. Most work is ground based. Stihl saws aren’t currently used by the estate but Jake was keen to find out how the latest models perform and some large oak trunks were ready for clearing. He requested the largest 25in bar for the test saw, but even this was too short to slice some of the oak trunks in one cut.
Practical design Features he immediately liked included the automatic fuel priming. “Our usual saws have a rubber priming cup which is pressed to pump fuel up to the carburettor. This can cause problems. On hot days if the bowl is left in direct sunlight the fuel evaporates and many pulls on the recoil are required to draw the gas through and refill the cup with liquid so the saw will start,” he explained. “The other issue is when we are working in blackthorn, as the rubber cup can be punctured. The lack of a primer on the Stihl saw we would regard as an advantage.” The combined choke and stop lever proved easy to use. “To start the saw the choke lever is just pushed down which makes it easy to use with gloves, even when they are damp,” he observed. “Stihl’s
p The MS 462 C-M supplied for the Farmers Guide test was fitted with a 25in bar, larger than most farms will need. u The saw performed well but, weighing just 6kg, the engine was a little lighter than ideal which affected the balance with the long bar fitted.
shock-absorbing recoil start handle helps reduce stress on the knuckles and I didn’t have to use the decompression button when starting from hot or cold.” Jake also complemented the compact size. “When I put it beside my usual saw, the engine is no larger. Stihl has kept it surprisingly small for the additional power.” At just 6kg the saw was judged to be very light too, and although this would have been an advantage in many situations, Jake said with the 25in bar, a heavier engine would have been an advantage. “When carrying the saw between work sites the long bar made the saw tilt down as it was unbalanced. Also, when cutting through larger diameter sections the light engine meant I had to apply more force to the blade to guide it. A heavier engine would have made it feel more stable.
Captive nuts on the chain side cover prevent potential loss during chain and sprocket cleaning and adjustment.
Jake acknowledged that for most farm tasks an 18 or 20in bar would be ideal and with either of these fitted the lightweight engine would have provided greater advantage. Stihl claims extremely rapid acceleration is a feature of its new engine, with a 60mph chain speed achieved within just a third of a second. Jake said that cutting performance was generally good, even with the full length of the blade buried in dry oak, but that if the chain was over loaded then revs could die away quite quickly.
Servicing Fuel consumption during the test was judged to be low compared to the farm’s usual saws and the fuel and oil filler caps have integral hinged grips making them easy to remove and replace without tools, even when they have been firmly tightened or after storage. Access for servicing was good, although Jake would have preferred clips to hold the engine covers in place rather than captive screws which are used on the Stihl. “Getting at everything for servicing is quite quick and easy,” he said. “But having to remove and replace screws takes longer than removing sprung clips and requires tools.” Once the top panel was removed continued over...

everything was well laid out and easy to get at and carrying out routine maintenance was straightforward with no tools required.” Captive nuts on the chain sprocket cover were considered a definite advantage, preventing them being lost while maintenance is carried out in the woods.
Comfort The handles make the saw comfortable to hold although the rubber sleeve on the front handle finishes partway down the side section. “When felling trees and using the saw on its side I sometimes found that only part of my hand was over the rubber sleeve, so grip was compromised. Extending the rubber further down the handle would provide a better grip,” he commented. The dead-man’s handle was also slightly too short, so that the operator’s hand had to be well up the rear handle to press it fully in. Jake said the chain brake was well designed and he was pleased to see the brake handle attached
and hinged at both ends, making its action positive wherever pressure was applied along its surface. Vibration, he said, was impressively low for such a powerful saw. The MS 462 C-M has a recommended retail price of £970 complete with an 18in bar or £1,000 with the 25in bar as tested. However discounts are usually offered through main dealers and on-line making the saw generally available from approximately £680, so it is well worth shopping around.
Verdict Stihl’s new saw is bigger than most farms will need, but will suit those with larger trees to fell or section. It has plenty of power for most cutting and clearing tasks and its lightweight, compact size makes it easy to handle and use, especially with the 18 or 20in bars likely to be preferred by most farm users. It’s well designed, easy to service and performs well. Back-up is from a large number of main sales and service dealers. ■
Overall, the saw performed well considering some of the heavy cutting work carried out and, although it had plenty of power, the lightweight engine would have been better paired with a shorter and lighter bar to improve the balance.

tractor recommendation is up to 110hp.
Finnish shears Tree shears can be a cost-effective way to clear overgrown branches on farms as well as for more intensive thinning work in commercial woodlands, and the TMK range of tree shears from Finland has been distributed by Nick Dinsdale’s Essex based NCD Equipment company since 2014. The three models in the TMK range are the recently introduced 200,
plus the 300 and 400 shears, with the model number in each case indicating the maximum recommended cutting diameter in millimetres for softwoods. Hardwood diameters are up to 180, 250 and 350mm respectively. The shears can be used on various base machines including tractors, mini loaders and excavators, and the minimum weight of the base machine for attaching each of the tree shear models is 2, 5 and 10t. The popular choice from the list of attachments for the TMK range is a collector to simplify handling the cut
material, and the 300 model can be equipped with an extension beam to increase the reach. A tilt facility will be available soon for all three models.
Log splitter The list of forestry machinery in the Major Equipment range includes the LS3000 tractor-powered log splitter capable of exerting up to 14t pressure and designed to handle logs up to 380mm high. Major has also recently introduced a tractor powered saw bench for cutting timber up to 28cm diameter.
Another Major machine with forestry applications is the Slasher, a heavy-duty rotary cutter suitable for maintenance work in woodland areas as well as cutting rushes, heathland and verges, plus areas of rough grazing. The slasher has a single rotor with a beam carrying two swinging blades capable of cutting growth up to 30mm diameter. There are two models; one with a 1.73m cutting width and a painted finish while the 1.95m model is galvanised, and both are suitable for tractors from 30–120hp. ■
Powered access platforms on display A range of powered access platforms and tracked mini dumpers from Access Platform Sales (APS) will be on display at this year’s APF show. Members of the APS team will be giving live demonstrations of some of the latest Hinowa tracked booms and crawler-mounted mini dumpers at the show on 20-22 September. Both products are ideal for tree work in built-up areas, as their compact dimensions mean they can pass easily between buildings and through doorways. The Hinowa Lightlift series is a
popular range of crawler-mounted boom lifts in the UK says APS. These tracked booms have compact dimensions, low ground pressure and superb rough terrain capabilities, making them highly versatile machines for working at height, it says. Auto-levelling outriggers make set up easy on uneven ground or even gentle slopes. Hinowa tracked dumpers cause little or no ground disturbance when traversing lawns or grass, making them ideal for tree work in landscaped areas. They are also
comfortable on sandy or boggy terrain, as well as steep gradients and uneven ground. Hi-tip capabilities enable them to tip loads directly onto vehicle beds or into skips, while self-loading dumpers eliminate the need for a miniexcavator. APS also supplies a large range of pre-owned access platforms and can provide the right access platform to suit all budgets. Hinowa Tracked Spider Booms are ideal for forestry workers and arborists says APS.

A showcase of forestry machinery and advice APF attracts more than 300 exhibitors and around 22,000 visitors.
Forestry, woodland, trees and timber show APF 2018 takes place this month. The show at Ragley Estate, Alcester, Warwickshire runs from 20– 22 September with 320 exhibitors. The event features over £50m of working machinery, much of which is designed for smaller woodlands. Exhibitors will be demonstrating firewood processing equipment, mobile sawmilling machines, biomass boilers and woodchippers to produce the chips to fuel them.
Exhibition secretary, Ian Millward says: “Many farms have small woodlands or even single trees and these need to contribute to farm incomes. While not necessarily being huge areas they can still make an important contribution to farm budgets. “One of the key features of the show is that machines can be seen working under realistic conditions so you can compare machines side by side. Visitors can see how a single tree can be turned into useful timber whether that is fence posts or cladding for a building. Small quantities of timber can be turned into firewood and low quality timber that might once have been thought as useless, can be turned into woodchips to fuel a biomass boiler.” The Forestry Commission will be on hand to give advice on grant aid, felling licences, planting grants and woodland management grants. There will also be a series of seminars to bring visitors up to
date with current research and news on latest plant health, pests and diseases. Meanwhile the Forestry Industry Safety Accord and Lantra will be running practical safety and training demos on a range of subjects including tree felling and giving advice on training.
Tickets are available at £22 on the gate or for £18 (one day) or £30 (two days) if bought online. Group bookings can make further savings with a ticket price of £16 for groups of 10 or more. Further information can be found at www.apfexhibition.co.uk. ■

Sales of flail mowers and mulchers continue to grow in the UK thanks to a successful partnership with manufacturer Berti, Teagle Machinery has announced. The long-standing relationship
between the two family businesses means that long after the initial purchase, outstanding after salesservice is assured, Teagle UK sales manager Jim Squires points out. Offering the most complete range of machines on the market, from the compact tractors rated from 12hp to the heavy-duty forestry range up to 200hp, every machine is superbly engineered and finished, he says. A comprehensive range of verge
mower models, aimed at amenity and local authority applications, offers the greatest flexibility as they can be used in a vertical position for hedges, horizontal for verge or pasture mowing, or any angle in-between for banks and drainage channels. The range of verge mowers consists of 31 models with working widths from 1.15–2.50m, suitable for compact tractors from 25hp, to agricultural tractors of 200hp. In addition, Berti recently extended the TA/PS verge mower range to provide greater machine offset,
reducing the proximity of the tractor to steep banks or verges thereby improving operator safety. Whether managing grassland or clearing gorse at the roadside, several features including a high rotor speed, wide hammer flails and protected bearings in the rotor and roller ensure that both the finished cut and mulching capability is outstanding with operating costs remaining low, says the company. It also distributes a wide range of hydraulic drive mulchers, skid steers and excavators from 1.5–30t. ■
Make money from trees Trees are a valuable resource and potential income source – especially with timber prices currently at an all-time high. Prices of logs, kindling and biomass woodchip have also peaked recently so converting this timber into cash is where Warwickbased company Fuelwood says it can help landowners. Fuelwood designs and manufactures a range of timber 58934
conversion machines, but is also the agent for Heizohack biomass wood chippers, JAPA firewood processors, AMR log splitters and saws. The company also supplies timber handling machinery including FTG and Avesta Vagnen timber trailers, GROS woodchip blowers and VEPAK log bagging machines. The range of forestry and firewood equipment will be on
display on its stand at the APF Forestry Show at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire 20–22 September and also at its own open days on 12 and 13 October. Full working demonstrations of all the machinery will be on-going throughout both events.
Fuelwood offers a range of equipment to process and handle timber products.

Post driver advice Engineering company returns to APF and supply Lamberhurst Engineering returns to The largest range of Seppi mulchers Wilson Traditional Farming is based near Swadlincote, Derby and as well as running a family farm, the business supplies hay and straw, advises on biomass heating and livestock ventilation systems and operates a long-established fence supply and installation service. “Most of our fencing is for farms and equestrian businesses and although we try to work close to our base for convenience, we are increasingly busy further afield too, due to recommendation from previous customers,” explained Toke Wilson. “We needed a post driver which could cope with constant heavy use and make light work of the largest diameter fence and gate posts, and we consulted manufacturer WRAG as to what would be suitable. “I needed a self-contained machine which allows me to work alone and I wanted to mount the post driver on an elderly Massey Ferguson 203 Industrial, because it is low to the ground which aids stability, but also allows me to get on and off quickly and easily. Because I wanted the strongest possible design and maximum stability I preferred a unit which mounts direct to the tractor chassis rather than a linkage-mounted version. WRAG was incredibly helpful, came out to see the tractor and understood what I wanted to achieve and why, and the Commander XL model the company suggested and supplied has performed superbly for almost three years so far, with no problems. “I am sure my Commander XL will perform perfectly for many more years but when I do need to update I won’t hesitate to go with the same brand for its replacement.”
and mowers ever shown will be display at the AFP exhibition, Lamberhurst Engineering has announced. Seppi has manufactured forestry mowers for more than 75 years and claims to have the largest range of any manufacturer as well as considerable product knowledge. The company’s motto is ‘The best for farm and forest’, which, according to Lamberhurst Engineering, compels it to manufacture only the best equipment. Moreover, with a range starting

from as small as 35hp right up to 600hp, whether for agriculture, forestry or green space maintenance, Seppi has a mulcher or mower for any need, adds Lamberhurst Engineering. The company is also the UK importer of Maxwald cable winches and forestry equipment. As a leading specialist in forestry and rescue operations, it offers quality products made in Austria. It is also acknowledged by
national and international safety standards warranting optimum quality and safety, says Lamberhurst Engineering. Stand 280-320 (inside paddock).

A tree shear supplied by NCD.
Since founding NCD in 2014, Nick Dinsdale has been pleasantly surprised with the company’s growth. The company imports TMK Tree Shears, which have continued to be a popular shear with customers, he says, adding that new sizes being added to the range have opened up their use to both smaller and larger machine owners and operators. Nevertheless, Mr Dinsdale has never been one to sit back and wait to see what happens next and he is constantly looking for new products that would suit previous and new customers.
To show his commitment to the company, a web page has been set-up where customers can tell the company about their professional needs. This could include help with disposal of the tree after it has been cut, clearing a ditch or a better machine to put fence posts up, he says. “From this we then try to find products that suit our customers’ needs.” Recently, Mr Dinsdale visited France-based company Rabaud, which supplies a number of products, with the excavator attachments drawing his interest. Mr Dinsdale says: “It has products that would suit the forestry, fencing construction and maintenance industries, and, we believe, agricultural too. As a company we are excited to be supplying these new products, which we hope will be of help to existing and future customers. “We also believe they will complement the TMK range. “Please look out for our official launch of the Rabaud range. We will also be on stand L10 at the APF show in September.” ■
Cordless tool range Japanese power tool manufacturer Makita has expanded its range of cordless tools with two new linetrimmer models and a new model of grass shears. The Makita DUR189Z 18v LXT linetrimmer, replaces the DUR184L. It has a 240 watt output brushless motor providing capacity to run the head at three selected speed settings. Having the motor at the drive head improves the balance of the machine and eliminates the loss of power through the traditional drive shaft says Makita. The new model, which is available as a body only model, also has the benefit of Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), where the revolutions per minute are automatically increased according to the density of the weeds and foliage being cut. A speed indicator is conveniently positioned on the control panel. The model has an operating weight of 3.3kg, including the LXT battery, soft grip handle and forward loop handle for maximum machine control. Soft start, electric brake, reverse rotation and overload protection add to its efficiency says the manufacturer. The second new linetrimmer – the DUR188LZ – has all the same features of the DUR189Z model with the additional advantage of a two-part shaft so that it can be split in two for easy transportation and storage. It also benefits from a trigger switch with lock-off lever and

a multi-functional control panel with speed and power indicators. Again, this is a body only model. Meanwhile Makita’s new DUM604Z 18v LXT grass shears replace the DUM168 model. Fast and powerful, a compatible hedge trimmer attachment is also available that has a tool-less blade change. The shear has a double blade action, a cutting width of 160mm, and a 3-stage cutting height adjustment from 15-25mm for really fine work. Its ergonomically designed soft grip handle and light weight (1.8kg) make it comfortable to use, says Makita. This model is available as a body only.

A new hedgecutter with joystick cable controls has been launched by manufacturer Weaving Machinery. The R520 cutter combines quality construction and a full stabiliser assembly for three-point linkage mounting. It is well-suited to farmers or contractors looking for a precise, but powerful, hedgecutter for regular use, says Weaving. The fully proportional joystick controls are designed for operators seeking comfort and convenience during their cutting routine. The joystick design is already used on tractor mounted loaders around the world and combines the reliability of cable controls with the comfort of a joystick. “The R520 is perfect for entrylevel users and experienced professionals alike,” says Simon Weaving. “We’ve refined the technology to make a hedgecutter
that’s powerful but accessible.” The hedgecutter has a 5.20m reach, 1.25m cutting head and weighs 1,250kg. Other features include cable rotor engagement, rotor reverse and power slew with break back. It has a 200-litre oil tank and requires a tractor with at least 120hp. It is priced at £9,800. ■
The new R520 hedgecutter from Weaving Machinery aims for ease of use and precision for both novice and experienced operators.

New equipment reduces the pressure for irrigator in exceptional season
A long, cold winter followed by full blown drought has made 2018 an unwelcome and exceptional season for many arable farmers but it has also focused attention on all those aspects of farm management that could be brought under greater control. Water management is clearly
LCJ Mountain Farms’ Matt Mountain and his Briggs Hosereel.
requirements as well as for overall crop management.”
the leading contender on this list for most salad, green vegetable and potato growers. Farmers unable to irrigate have wished they could, while many who can have also looked at improving their systems. Based near Sleaford on the edge of the fens, LCJ Mountain Farms Ltd has recently turned its attention from chipping to pre-pack potatoes in partnership with one of the main packhouses. This season 66ha have been grown as part of a 9-year rotation with wheat and OSR. The transition to growing for quality rather than bulk has created new demands on crop husbandry and the farm’s resources, as director Matt Mountain explained: “Growing pre-pack potatoes is technically more demanding and consultant Agri-tech Services has been monitoring the water deficit via weekly sensor recordings. This gives a precise base for its advice on irrigation
Essential water Sufficient water is obviously essential at tuber formation if scab is to be minimised. Fortunately most of the land – comprising a range of light to heavy silts – was planted in May which saw average rainfall and went in surprisingly well. June, on the other hand, provided just 30.4mm, well below the 25-year average and most of that fell early in the month. In July the rain gauge recorded 26.2mm; 40 per cent of the 25-year average and dramatically less than the previous year’s (72mm). Irrigation has therefore been essential from the outset for quality and yield. Fortunately the farm has sufficient water licences. “We originally had licences for 55,688m3 but two years ago I realised we would need more water and obtained consent to extract a further 92,500m3. We are in the Black Sluice catchment but we can draw fresh water and have effectively used the
Great Hale Eau as a reservoir. This means we have enough water to apply 200mm to the land used for potatoes this year. So far we have used around 85,000m3,” Matt said, speaking in mid-August. Matt’s father, John, had installed underground mains some years ago and the farm has two older hosereels with rainguns. But in order to meet the extra demand for irrigation Matt decided additional equipment was needed. Water Resources Management grants are still available under the Countryside Productivity Scheme and Matt began researching the equipment he would need. Funding can be obtained for up to 40 per cent of the total project cost. Matt’s research for the grant took him to Briggs Irrigation.

of the factory in Corby where the booms are made. I was impressed by the factory, the equipment and the support I received and we ordered an R64/2 boom and VR7 110/550 hosereel. This system can place large volumes of water accurately over a width of up to 72m on a 555m run. “Adrian has been able to provide a detailed analysis of the benefits of each size and type of Briggs boom so that we could select the best model for our farm. The pressure requirements are lower than for a raingun and he supplied data on uniformity of water distribution and on absorbed power and fuel consumption. With a 10mph breeze the boom has a uniformity coefficient of 88 per cent compared with a raingun’s 67 per cent, and fuel consumption for the pump is roughly 30 per cent less for a boom than a raingun. Including capital costs and labour we have been able to calculate the system costs £250/ha in an average season, based on a 20ha system. If we have another season like this one it could well be invaluable and looking ahead there is potential for further development, including a lagoon and perhaps even water trading.” ■
Mole draining project considerations The dramatic change in weather from the wet spring to dry summer had prevented Miles Drainage from carrying out any post-harvest mole draining by mid August. If it had been mentioned back in April that by mid-August Miles Drainage would not have carried out any post-harvest mole draining, then it could have been assumed that the bad weather had continued and the 2018 harvest was running late. That assumption would have been a long way from the real situation, says the company. Four months later and after one of the hottest summers on record there is rock hard ground and little moisture in the soil at moling depth. Mole draining is a relatively cheap and simple operation providing effective drainage of clay soils, it says. But it does need to be carried out in the correct conditions, to avoid wasting both time and money. An existing drainage scheme

should have stone backfill to at least 100mm above the depth of moling, with the headland drain being sufficient distance away from the boundary/margin (14m minimum), advises Miles. Also, the soil moisture content should be such that the surface is dry enough for effective tractor traction and subsoil at moling depth is firm, but plastic enough to compress into a channel. Above moling depth the drier the soil the greater the fissuring produced and therefore the more effective the water removal.
Following mole draining the field should be rolled, cultivated, or ploughed to prevent any sudden rainfall causing siltation, or the mole roof to collapse, it adds. Based in East Anglia but operating nationwide, Miles Drainage provides a GPS-based land drainage design and installation service to agricultural, equestrian and sports field customers. The company also manufactures the Single Leg Mole Plough, as well as supplying spares and wearing parts.

Ditch maintenance provides return on investment Land drainage plays an essential role in arable management.
Land with good ditch maintenance and drainage can show a 20 per cent higher return on crops compared with land that hasn’t, according to The Fen Group. Ditch maintenance together with land drainage is an essential part of arable management and the company prides itself in serving both the local farming community and internal drainage boards to keep the ditches cleaned and well maintained. However, with today’s pressures on crop margins and overhead costs, sometimes ditch maintenance can be ignored and it can take a couple of seasons before the impact of poor drainage is reflected in crop losses. Water-logged fields and high water tables result in poor germination, lack of response to fertilisers and an increase in pests and diseases. This can lead to an overall increase in variable costs, says The Fen Group. Spring 2018 was a good example with one of the wettest winters on record. And where there was little
or no drainage, some crops sat very wet, were shallow-rooted and didn’t respond to fertiliser applications, the company points out. This was followed by seven or

eight weeks without rain and some crops were dying instead of ripening, affecting yield and quality, and it illustrates the importance of good drainage.

Draining and moling can double wheat yields The wet spring and dry summer have highlighted differences in yields of crops on heavy clay soils which have been drained, compared with those that have not. Crops from land that was waterlogged and poorly drained in the spring did not put their roots down and have performed badly, whereas roots on crops on well drained and mole drained land will have put their roots down vertically, says drainage expert Hankins Engineering. Mole draining can help to rectify poor drainage and improve soil structure by taking excess water away to the drainage system, says the company. Moling on a rotational basis will help to revitalise redundant drains and can also be done on undrained heavy clay soils, providing it is possible to mole into ditches or preferably a gravelled headland drain. On its own farm Hankins will be investing in more drainage where poor patches are showing up in the crops this year. But on the whole it is amazing to see a high-yielding crop of wheat on land that was once

When the wet weather comes, Tyres for telehandlers will you be ready? As all farmers know, wet land will not produce to its full potential, so the dry spell provides an ideal opportunity to lay land drains in these areas, says WT Knowles & Sons. The West Yorkshire-based company has been supplying the farming community since 1906, and its range of clay pipes, junctions and gullies can be used for field drainage. Moreover, not only does it manufacture and supply a range of clay drainage, including clay land drains and clay land drain junctions but also salt-glazed products, which are renowned for their durability and inherent strengths and which can last for centuries, says the company. Removing surplus water from the land improves the soil structure
and prevents problems caused by waterlogging, which can help growers achieve higher yields, it adds. This is partly because free draining soil enhances seed germination as a result of greater warming, allowing stronger crop establishment. Furthermore, for livestock farmers, improved yield extends the grazing season, resulting in reduced costs. As clay is extremely strong, retains its shape, withstands varying temperatures and most of all, is environmentally friendly, it is an exemplary drainage material for the farming community, claims WT Knowles. Clay land drains are ideal for use with bedding materials in shallow trenches, which can also provide substantial cost savings for farmers, concludes the business. ■ WT Knowles has a range of clay pipes, junctions and gullies.
Land Drainage–2018
Extended durability, maximum stability, excellent grip, extraordinary resistance and high load capacity are all features of BKT’s tyres for telehandlers, says the company. Especially developed for telehandlers in industrial applications Multimax MP 527 is a versatile radial tyre which provides good traction and stability especially during the lifting stage thanks to an aggressive tread design and the robust sidewall. Meanwhile, BKT says that “outstanding versatility” is the distinguishing feature of its RT 747 Agro Industrial. This tyre gives maximum stability and excellent grip thanks to its extra large lugs. It is a multi-purpose tyre that can provide support in many applications and is now available in two sizes. The Multimax MP 522 is particularly versatiles, says BKT. It is suitable for any agro-industrial application providing great stability and high load capacity. The reinforced bead along with the steel belts ensure excellent traction plus very good cut resistance – essential features for digging and loading operations. It is available in 13 sizes.

Another tyre designed for agroindustrial handling equipment is Con Star, which is known for its vertical and lateral stability. It features wide lugs that increase the contact area on the ground enabling the tyre to withstand heavy loads. The tyre is made of a special compound, which makes it robust and resistant to damage, says BKT. With good traction and selfcleaning properties, the Grip Star tyre is suitable for all seasons and particularly for operations on muddy terrains. It is currently available in size 15.5/80 – 24. Finally, the AS 5-4 was specially developed for both transport and soil tillage operations, providing self-cleaning properties in addition to enhanced grip. ■

Farms looking to increase output of their drilling operations may benefit from Amazone’s new launch, says the manufacturer. The Cataya 4000 Super harrowmounted conventional gravity seed drill is the second model to be added to the series this year. It offers a 4m working width and large seed hopper capacity of 1,180 litres. This capacity can be increased to 1,739 litres with the 550-litre hopper extension. The drill can be operated at speeds of up to 12kph says Amazone. Other features include the Precis metering system which enables quick conversion between
fine and normal seeds, and raised outlet funnels of the metering wheel housings which ensure minimal residual seed volumes. The new model also features electric metering drive which is available to either one or both sides, providing an opportunity for remote-controlled half-side shut off. Set up of the drill is carried out via the SmartCenter which also allows the operator to calibrate the machine with a push button, or via the optional Twin Terminal and also to set the sowing depth. As standard, the Cataya 4000 Super features hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment and, for optimum seed coverage, there is the option of either the Exact following harrow with hydraulic lift or the harrow set on the coulters. The drill is available in row spacings of 12.5 or 15.4cm.

New grading line increases throughput The new grading line is increasing throughput and efficiency of sprout handling operations.
With a passion for producing the freshest vegetables of the very best quality, TH Clements & Son Ltd based in Boston, Lincolnshire, chose Tong Engineering to design a new Brussels sprouts grading and sorting facility, to increase the throughput and efficiency of its Brussels sprouts handling operations. TH Clements harvests over 20 different varieties of Brussels sprouts over 400ha across Lincolnshire, supplying some of the UK’s major supermarkets. Harvesting takes place between August and March, reaching a peak throughout the
festive season. In line with the company’s ongoing programme of growth and investment, TH Clements looked to Tong Engineering when the time came to update its existing sprouts processing operations in order to significantly expand capabilities. “Our original grading system involved a great deal of manual sorting, and subsequently labour requirements,” explains TH Clements project manager, Graham Neal. “Our throughput capabilities were increasingly limited, and as new and existing contracts developed, we were finding it difficult to achieve the wide range of grading sizes that were demanded by our customers. Not only that, as the original
system had been updated over the years, the layout was becoming increasingly inefficient, making equipment difficult to clean and maintain effectively. “With this in mind, the decision was made to replace the original system with a new custom-built grading and sorting line from Tong, which incorporated the latest technology for maximum efficiency and productivity,” said Mr Neal. “We needed a new facility that would improve the quality of the grading process, increase throughput capacity and reduce labour requirements. Tong designed a complete Brussels sprout intake and grading system that meets all our grade size requirements and incorporates the new Veryx digital sorter from Key Technology for exceptionally fast and consistent defect sorting.”
Gently does it The new facility gently handles when receiving the harvested sprouts in boxes, to cleaning, drying, grading and defect sorting crop prior to it reaching the packing
area. The new stainless steel line starts with a Tong box rotator at the infeed, which gently tips crop into a Tong hopper that ensures an even flow of crop over a debris removing screen and overhead crop drying unit. A new Tong Lift Roller Grader size grades the sprouts to a variety of pre-set grade bands to suit customer requirements, which can be easily adjusted at the touch of a button with Tong’s advanced Auto-Touch HMI controls. Defect sorting with the new Veryx sorter from Key Technology means that TH Clements’ crop is sorted with increased accuracy and consistency. Tong Engineering sales manager, Nick Woodcock concluded: “The new Tong line has fully integrated the latest sorting technologies to ensure TH Clements has the capacity to be very flexible and responsive to customer demand. Throughput and consistency has significantly increased, and with much easier and proactive maintenance, the company can be sure its new investment will bring maximum performance for many years to come.” ■

Henry Brown’s Vintage Diary September 1–2
Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago
In September 1993, Farmers Guide reported more outbreaks of rhizomania in the East Anglian sugar beet crop bringing the UK total to 21 outbreaks, all of them in Norfolk and Suffolk. Rhizomania, a virus, results in reduced crop yields and sugar content. Ernest Cozens noted that Case IH and Massey Ferguson were returning to Earls Court for the 1993 Smithfield Show and explained that it only left John Deere and Fiat to decide whether to exhibit. New Holland announced its latest combines – the TX 66 and TX 68 with 255 and 288hp engines, 17–24ft cutter bars and an optional self-levelling cleaning shoe. They were described as ‘Finger Tip’ combines with a new state-of-the-art electronic control system with the settings confirmed on an ‘InfoView’ screen in the Discovery cab. September 8th 1993 was the date of Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s 21st Power in Action demonstration. Alternating with
September 2
the Normac event, expected highlights included a 250hp Caterpillar Challenger with a 10f Dowdeswell plough, a 155hp JCB Fastrac with a 7f Goizin plough, and a 126hp Mercedes Benz Unimog U1200 pulling a 4f Dowdeswell plough. Disc harrows were back in fashion both for stubble breaking and seedbed preparation and several harrow/ drill combinations would be at the event in Otley, near Ipswich. Farm machinery news included details of the new Dual Zone Torque engines and Dynashift Powershift transmission for 4-cylinder MF tractors. With an unexpected demand for new tractors in July following a lull in sales, Massey Ferguson’s general manager Mike Molesworth advised farmers not to wait too long before ordering a new tractor if they wanted delivery in the autumn. This was especially important for the current 30-model range with a variety of options including 2 and 4wd. MF was also building tractors for Steyr, Valmet and Landini, and would shortly start production of 88–125hp Iseki tractors with crystal blue paintwork. Massey Ferguson was giving a two year warranty for its tractors and combine harvesters. Lely announced a new 5m Roterra power harrow and JCB chose the Royal Show to launch the latest Fastrac 125, 135 and 155 models with new engines, transmissions and controls. Finnish combine maker Sampo was offering UK farmers 3 models ranging from the 10ft cut, 95hp 2055 priced at £62,000, to the 14ft cut, 140hp 2066 with a £76,500 price tag.

Reaper threshers Combine harvesters, known in earlier days as reaper threshers, were being pulled by teams of horses or mules in California in the late 1800s and by the early 1900s animal and steam powered reaper threshers were in use. Daniel Best’s self-propelled 50ft cut steam powered reaper thresher with a peg drum and Benjamin Holt’s gasoline-engined reaper thresher, were at work in the Californian wheat belt. Best and Holt formed the Caterpillar Tractor Co in 1925 and by the end of the decade they were making enginedriven reaper threshers with 10–20ft cutter bars and grain tanks. The first horse-drawn Deering No 1 peg drum harvest thresher with a 9ft cutter bar, pulled either by a tractor or a team of horses, appeared in 1915 and McCormick introduced the No 7 harvest thresher with a self-levelling 12 or 14ft cut self-levelling cutter bar in 1926. Clayton & Shuttleworth made the first British built combine harvester in Lincoln in 1929. The company sold the harvester side of the business to Marshalls at Gainsborough in 1930 and the first Claas combine appeared
The cutter bar on the Claas M-D-H combine harvester could be replaced with a canvas conveyor for threshing sheaves either in the field or at the stack.
in the same year. Wrapped round a Lanz Bulldog tractor it had a front cutter bar and a side conveyor to carry the crop to a threshing unit and bagging off platform at the rear. As it had failed to impress German farmers, August Claas introduced the trailed M-D-H combine harvester in 1937. The Mah-Dresch-Binder – roughly translated as Cut-Thresh-Tie – was a straight through machine with a rear bagging platform and a side mounted trusser, and the chaff was blown through a pipe on to the ground. Production ended in 1943 when the Claas factory was used for armament production. ■

New challenge for Graham Graham Barnwell has been appointed UK and Ireland country manager for SDF. He has spent most of his career working with after-sales with SDF and its precursor the SLH Group. He was service manager until 2003 and then held various product and marketing roles before being made
Group UK marketing manager in 2010. With more than 15 years’ experience of sales and marketing within the SDF Group Graham has the credentials to take the company forward to face the numerous opportunities and challenges within the combine and small, medium and large horsepower tractor market sectors, says SDF.
Chief financial officer for Ernest Doe The directors of Ernest Doe & Sons have announced the appointment of Greg Forrest as chief financial officer. Greg is a chartered accountant who joined the company five years ago as financial controller. Previously he worked at Baker Tilly, now RSM UK, for 25 years, initially in the audit
team before specialising in corporate finance. Commenting on the appointment managing director Colin Doe, said: “Since joining the company, Greg has produced the management and statutory accounts. He has gained the trust of senior managers and his colleagues in the department. He was an obvious choice for CFO and has already made a positive impact.”
Retirement after 50 years’ service After 50 years of service at Massey Ferguson dealer Peacock & Binnington, agricultural technician Dave Oxley has retired from the company. On 16th August 1968, 16-yearold Mr Oxley joined the business at its busiest time of year – right in the middle of harvest. Now, half a century later, he has finally retired from his career with the Brigg-based company. “I took a week’s holiday after leaving school and signed up as an apprentice,” explains Mr Oxley, who comes from Barnetby le Wold in north Lincs. “My dad worked on a farm which dealt with Peacock & Binnington and I was really keen to work with tractors and machinery.”

Group service manager at Tuckwells P Tuckwell Ltd is pleased to announce the addition of Andy Bugg as group service manager for the East. He is a key addition to the service department, bringing with him a strong aftersales background from within the agricultural machinery industry. Working closely with group service manager for the West, Phil Hannah, Mr Bugg will be developing the company’s aftersales portfolio and focusing attention on enhancing the customer experience. His experience within the agricultural machinery Industry started in the workshops of Framlingham Tractors, Suffolk, and then to CNH where he provided product technical support to the
UK and ROI dealer network. Establishing a keen interest in business development, he then moved into the commercial team of Case IH and a territory-based service role working closely with the dealers, and then co-ordinating the service team in 2012. He was appointed as after sales business manager in 2013. After returning to the dealer network in 2016, Mr Bugg is also entering the final year of a Masters Degree programme. “I’ve been watching the Tuckwell business grow over the past few years and, inspired by James Tuckwell’s vision, I decided it was something I wanted to be part of,” commented Mr Bugg. “The senior management team is experienced, but fresh and motivated, and together I am sure we will achieve some great things.”
Movers and shakers Do you know of someone who is on the move in the agricultural industry? Whether they are starting a completely new role, a promotion within a business or perhaps a retirement after many years of dedicated service, let us know and we will do our best to include it on our popular ‘About People’ pages. Send in no more than 150 words and a (head and shoulders) picture of the person in question to (email) dominic@farmersguide.co.uk.
Throughout his career repairing and servicing machines in the workshop and out in the field, he has been heavily involved with MF tractors, combines and balers. “Everything has changed in farming compared with 50 years ago,” he comments. “Technology has really made a difference; tractors virtually drive themselves now and we use laptops to help diagnose faults. “When I first started, tractors such as the MF 100 Series were between 45–75hp. Now it’s an average of 200hp, with big models like the MF 8700 S at 400hp. “I’ve really enjoyed my time with Peacock & Binnington, but I’m ready for retirement after 50 years on the job,” Mr Oxley says, adding that he plans to “take a few days off and then hopes to do some part-time work – perhaps on a local farm”.
