The next round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund –FETF 2023 – has been announced, which gives you the opportunity to fund the purchase of new equipment, from a list of eligible items, intended to improve productivity and provide environmental bene ts.

The new round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF 2023) has been split into two themes – productivity and slurry, and animal health and welfare. You can apply for a grant of up to £25,000 per theme, and you can apply for items from one theme or from both themes. There are a variety of items to choose from, including the Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler (Sward Lifter) and the Ceres Scorpion Tree Grab, both of which are available under the productivity and slurry theme. There are a variety of models of the Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler (Sward Lifter) available, but to comply with the FETF 2023 speci cations, only the 3, 4 and 5 leg models are eligible for the grant funding. The Sub-Line is designed to achieve the maximum e ciency from your soil by lifting and shattering compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to ow into the substructure, improving soil health and preventing ash run-o of water.

The row of leading discs can all be adjusted with one handle, which has six working positions and one out-of-work position. The discs can be kept in their optimum working position, cutting through the sward cleanly, allowing the leg to pass through without tearing the surface. Each of the contoured, low-draft legs are mounted in-line on the substantial frame, with two M16 shear bolts for protection. The flat, rear roller has simple dual turn-buckle adjustment to control the working depth of the machine, and leaves a neat, level finish across the width of the work. There is a galvanised, adjustable scraper mounted within the roller arms to prevent congestion and build-up.

As part of the Ceres Titanium range of products, which Ceres says are known for their unrivalled strength and durability, Ceres o ers the Scorpion Tree Grab, constructed from 100% Hardox. With its wideopening pincers, it can cope easily with large trees, right the way down to smaller branches and brush. From one, simple double-acting auxiliary, both pincers will keep an even pressure, even across varying diameters on the same trunk, thus maintaining a rm and stable grip, no matter the terrain.

Designed for the harshest woodland conditions, the hydraulic rams are heavily protected by the framework and the headstock pipes and locking pins are shielded by a Hardox barrier.
