The new 5ML Tractor Series from John Deere

With the new 5ML Series, which includes the flagship 5130ML, John Deere has introduced its most intelligent and powerful narrow tractors for use in high-value crops. The 5ML tractors can be equipped with a comprehensive technology package for precision farming and deliver a maximum output of 134hp.

To make working with specialty crops easier, the 5ML offers a technology package for precision farming. A unique feature is the integrated AutoTrac guidance system. The system’s display has been integrated directly into the tractor’s dashboard, eliminating the need for an additional activation or display. Above all, this saves additional costs. With its equipment, the 5ML makes it possible to combine different work steps. The integrated guidance system enables the driver to deliver a high quality of work even on long days. He can concentrate on the implements as the tractor stays on track.

Farmers have to document their work processes in increasing detail. With the optionally available Gen 4 display on the 5ML, every step of the tractor’s work can be easily documented and securely transferred to the web, where all operations can be monitored, planned and analysed.

John Deere’s Connected Support can maximise the uptime of the 5ML. With the customer’s consent, machine data is analysed remotely while the 5ML is in operation. If an irregularity is detected, the local John Deere dealer is informed.

The PowerTech Plus engine in the new 5130 ML is a 4.5-litre four-

cylinder with a solid torque rise of 30% and a maximum output of 134hp. The mechanical transmission has four of the optionally available Powr8 transmission eight power shiftable gears. When range shifting the matching powershift gear is automatically selected.

The 5ML also has a hydraulic output of 117l/min. This allows implements with high hydraulic power requirements to be connected directly to the tractor hydraulics without the need for an externally pto-driven hydraulic pump, making a combination of applications possible. Time can be saved by, for example, pruning trees and tilling the soil at the same time. In addition, the tractor is ready for use with front loaders.

The 5ML has a decent lift capacity of the 5ML, which totals 4900kg at the ball ends of the rear hydraulics. At the front it is 2900kg, with a payload of 3500kg.

The 5ML’s cab is equipped with an electronic joystick and a large LCD display in the dashboard. This gives an overview of the tractor settings and increases operator comfort. The electronic joystick makes it easy and convenient to control implements. With the headland management function, the driver is relieved of the work processes when turning at the headland. The category 4 cab filter system integrated into the roof of the driver’s cab is available as an option and provides protection against dust, aerosols and vapours.

The 5ML tractors can be ordered from January 2023.

The 5ML can be equipped with the technology to work with specialty crops

Preparation key for farmland

Farm and estate owners planning to sell land in 2023 are being advised to use the winter months to prepare for a sale if they are to capitalise on the spring market.  National property consultancy Carter Jonas says the UK being in recession is driving interest in safe assets, and that farmland has

traditionally performed well during times of economic uncertainty.

There is also evidence that wellprepared farms are out-performing those which have outstanding issues to resolve, as cash buyers look to move quickly to completion.

“Agriculture is a resilient industry, even in the face of considerable economic uncertainty, and land values reflect that,” said Carter Jonas’ head of rural agency Andrew Chandler.

“Arable and pasture land values have seen a 10-year annualised growth rate of 2.8% and 3.6% respectively. The market is predicted to continue to benefit from an everexpanding pool of motivated buyers, who are interested in a range of holdings from prime lifestyle land to unproductive blocks of marginal land for natural capital purposes.”

With recent rises in interest rates

affecting some mortgage offers, the agency says those with cash available are in a position to move faster, and will favour properties which have been prepared for sale and are ready to go.

“If you’re not ready, your farm could potentially be out-performed by another property,” said Chandler. “Cash buyers do tend to bid higher on land and property they know is ready, but they won’t wait around.”

Although the market has quietened a little since the intense period experienced during the Covid–19 pandemic, demand is still outstripping supply, and competitive bids can help secure premiums above the guide price in some circumstances.

“Quality offerings, and those located in a number of hotspots across the UK, are seeing considerable interest regardless of the time of year,

McCormick X6.414 P6-Drive is the 2023 Tractor of The Year

The Tractor of the Year jury, made up of 26 journalists from leading European trade publications, awarded the McCormick X6.414 P6-Drive the 2023 Tractor of The Year award in the Best Utility category.

The award was collected by Alberto Morra during the ceremony held at EIMA, the international trade show dedicated to agricultural mechanisation, which saw a record numbers of visitors. More than 327,000 visitors, including more than

57,000 from abroad, attended the 45th edition of event.

The X6.4 P6-Drive was designed precisely to combine versatility, performance and comfort in a single tractor. Stage V compliant thanks to the exhaust gas posttreatment system, the range features models X6.413, X6.414 and X6.415, powered by 4.5-litre, 16-valve, four-cylinder engines with a maximum power output of 146hp on the winning model.

The model’s strengths are the front

axle with independent suspension, four-wheel braking, the P6-Drive transmission with six PowerShift gears and four robotised ranges and the cab (with FOPS-approved panoramic roof, additional hatch for natural ventilation and LED field lights). Also improving driving comfort is the mechanical cab suspension, designed with high-quality materials and equipped with ergonomic controls, 12in touchscreen monitor and Smart Pilot Plus multifunction joystick, capable of simultaneously controlling the transmission, front loader, front hitch and hydraulic system.

Four-speed pto with synchronised option. The front hitch can lift up to 2500kg, while the electronic rear lifting system can lift up to 7200kg. The hydraulic system is closed centre with a flow rate of 114 l/min, capable of supplying up to seven spool valves.

The X6.414 P6Drive won 2023 Tractor of the Year in the utility category

Also available is the precision steering management system for satellite guidance, which interfaces seamlessly with the isobus system for controlling the implements and with the machine’s a fleet management and remote diagnostics system.

so there may be advantages for those farms which are first to market in 2023.

“Building in time for the legal process is also advisable – sellers can mitigate risk by engaging professionals well in advance and being ready to proceed quickly.”

Creating a positive first impression is invaluable, so preparing your farm for sale well ahead of time is key. Smartening up your farm and carrying out minor cosmetic tasks can be achieved quickly and inexpensively but could make a huge difference to its overall appearance.

“Ensure all your paperwork and agreements are up to date; carrying out due diligence such as checking your farm is registered with the Land Registry, that you have approved maps from the Rural Land Registry and that any agri-environment schemes or management agreements can be easily transferred to a potential purchaser will save you time down the road,” said Chandler.

“We aim to achieve the best

possible price for our clients, so it’s important to carry out thorough groundwork in advance of the marketing to make sure sales can proceed without any unwelcome surprises.”

Potential planning opportunities should be explored as these can add significant value, and establishing potential capital gains tax liability is essential.

“Consulting your accountant at an early stage is sensible, as is ensuring good lines of communication are established between your selling agent, solicitor and accountant prior to launching your property on the market,” said Chandler.

Buyers should also be in a position to move quickly in order to be an attractive bidder.

“Buyers needing to borrow funds need to take into account that this is not as simple as it was a few months ago – talk to lenders and ensure you will be able to access the necessary funds before moving forwards,” he said.

Slurry grants up for grabs

Slurry bags, such as those from Tramspread, can often be installed without planning permission

Defra has announced the first round of ‘slurry infrastructure grants’ will be open for applications from 6 December 2022 to 31 January 2023. The application window will enable farms needing to extend slurry storage to meet the six-month storage target and gain up to 50% towards new storage equipment.

Junior ATVs see sharp sales rise

The coronavirus pandemic and its knock-on effect on recreational activities saw UK sales of junior ATVs increase by 56% last year, with Christmas sales yet to be factored in. This is according to manufacturer Yamaha, which saws sales for junior machines rise from 539 in 2019 to 839 in November 2022.

Smallest compact joins JCB’s Loadall line-up

JCB is introducing the 514–40, its smallest Loadall telescopic handler to date, with a height of just 1.8m and a width of 1.56m. However, the compact machine benefits from the largest operator’s cab in the class, sharing its core DNA with the world’s number one telehandler range.

The new Loadall 514–40 telescopic handler brings together more than 45 years of telehandler development to create the smallest overall package, with big machine comfort and capabilities.

Small enough to fit through a 2m high doorway, the machine delivers unparalleled manoeuvrability with all-wheel steering, making it an ideal telehandler for working in and

around the smallest of buildings and farm yards, as well as at farm supply businesses, and in commercial horticulture.

The telehandler is powered by a low maintenance 24.7hp diesel engine that meets the EU Stage V emissions standard without the need for a complex diesel particulate filter (DPF) or any diesel exhaust fluid, minimising operating costs for customers and simplifying operation.

This three-cylinder, 1.1-litre engine, which boasts 66.9Nm of torque, drives through a proven Bosch hydrostatic transmission to a two-speed Linde motor, delivering a maximum travel speed of 10mph.

Permanent four-wheel drive

At just 1.8m tall and 1.56m wide, the 514–40 has been designed to access the most confined sites

and four-wheel steering give the 514–40 the all-terrain capabilities synonymous with JCB’s marketleading Loadall range.

The maximum lift capacity is 1400kg, while maximum lift height is 4.0m, making this an ideal machine for numerous industry sectors; lift capacity at full reach is claimed to be 525kg.

With an unladen weight of 2695kg, the machine boasts a 17% higher power-to-weight ratio than the Loadall 516–40. However, the 514–40 newcomer can be transported on a lightweight 3.5-tonne trailer behind a 4x4 or a light commercial vehicle, making it easier, quicker and less expensive to move it between distant work locations.

In the cab…

The full width operator’s cab is 20% larger than the previous 516–40 and a full 200mm wider than competitor models to provide the operator with a comfortable working environment, while the extensive glazing delivers excellent visibility to all four corners.

The cab will be instantly familiar to operators of other Loadall models, with JCB’s intuitive ergonomic controls making the 514–40 one of the easiest machines to operate.

Standard features include a 50mm tow ball with seven-pin electrics, reversing alarm, road lights, the patented JCB load control system and JCB’s LiveLink Lite telematics system, while options include an LED work light package, and amber and green beacons with an orange seat belt, which can all be protected by JCB’s immobiliser Key Pad.

The 514–40 boasts a new lightweight tool carrier and is capable of working with floating forks or a 0.41cu m bucket, while doubleacting auxiliary hydraulics make it possible to operate a range of JCB attachments, increasing the versatility of this compact machine. Customers can also choose between a range of industrial and turf-compatible tyres.

Kuhn launches new lightweight drill

Kuhn has unveiled an updated, lightweight Megant drill featuring new tine coulters, an updated terminal, and the option to add a second hopper. The Megant 602R shares functionality with the previous 600 model, but features half width shut off and can be specified with an additional 110-litre hopper to drill two crops in the same pass.

Due to its lightweight design, the Megant can be operated by tractors with as little as 150hp. Three types of tines can be specified on the Megant, including reversible forward action, straight, and a new narrow 12mm straight tine coulter which reduces soil displacement through improved penetration and also reduces wear on the tine thanks to the addition of carbide-plated points.

A new VT 30 terminal makes the Megant suitable for tractors with and without Isobus. Large buttons, a shock proof casing and ergonomic design make the terminal easier to operate and more durable. Compatibility with both Kuhn CC1 800–1200 and other Isobus terminals will make the Megant more accessible to all users and will offer the economy of not needing to buy a second control terminal for tractors already fitted with a compatible model.

The 602R has inherited some features from the larger Espro drill including spring loaded nonstop track eradicators and side markers that are better suited to dry conditions. A new welded 1800-litre hopper capable of holding 1200kg of wheat and drilling 60 hectares a day replaces a riveted hopper on the previous model. The new hopper also includes internal steps to improve access to the distribution head.

The improved hopper features a shut off door enabling operators to isolate the two compartments. This makes it possible

Kubota launches entry-level compact tractor

The 24hp, four-wheel drive EK1–261 model sits at the bottom of Kubota’s compact tractor portfolio

to adjust the metering unit when the hopper is full and helps to prevent seed settling in the metering unit when the Megant is in transit.

The Megant has been fitted with the company’s Vistaflow valves, which can be configured and controlled from the terminal. This enables operators to program the flow of seed with the option to save settings for future use. Vistaflow also records tramlining configurations such as the working width and wheel track to enable more accurate use of sprayers and fertiliser spreaders which will help to reduce input costs.

The Megant 602R is available to order in the UK with the RRP starting at £42,760.

Kubota (UK) has introduced the EK1 series compact tractor to its line-up. The 24hp, four-wheel drive EK1–261 model sits at the foot of its compact tractor portfolio, representing a cost-effective choice for smallholders and the home-owner market.

Manufactured by Escorts-Kubota, the EK1 uses a three-cylinder diesel engine that meets EU Stage V emissions without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Drive is transmitted via dry plate clutch through a nine-forward three-reverse, constant mesh transmission.

The tractor’s rear-mounted three-point linkage offers a 750kg lift capacity, while a rear pto provides 540 and 540E speeds for powered implements such as a flail mower, pasture topper and finishing mower. One double-acting hydraulic spool valve is fitted, and operates with an open centre hydraulic system.

Despite the straightforward approach, the small details have not been overlooked, and the EK1 offers a charging socket and mobile phone holder, in addition to a weight-adjustable, mechanical suspension seat and foldable Rops frame. The ability to temporarily fold the Rops frame complements the tractor’s physical dimensions, improving access into low-height buildings for the 2670mm long, 1035mm wide, EK1 tractor.

The EK1–261 includes a five-year Kubota Care warranty as standard, and its retail price starts from £11,036 plus VAT. Those seeking additional versatility can add an optional front-end loader, or choose turf tyres or industrial tyres. The EK1 series made its UK show debut at Saltex in November.

HARD TIMES

Survival of the fittest may be the bywords for many shoots across the country. Our sports and hobbies correspondent talks to a number involved to find out what it’s like at the sharp end…

CHAS BAIRD SPORTS & HOBBIES CORRESPONDENT

In this piece I wish to look at the effect that the present hard times are having on my shooting and pest control friends and customers. I think most people are aware of the general rural problems, so this will be specific cases only.

Case 1: Me

Being retired I am spared some of the worst excesses. I am having to consider my diesel use and have taken to doing my shopping in one or other of the (allegedly) low priced supermarkets. I have had to curtail my shooting. Fortunately, the landowner is a good lad and understands.

I can’t grumble too much, there are some who are a lot worse off.

Case 2: the urban feral pigeon controller

When I started my feral control business I had hell’s own trouble finding liability insurance – pretty well all of the shooting association cover expressly exclude any paid activity.

I was put in touch with a lad in Manchester called Kevin. He was thinking about starting up the same sort of business and he put me in touch with a specialist insurer.

We have kept in touch, so I asked him how this lot was affecting him.

“It hasn’t helped. While most of the customers accept that while they need to control ferals, they are all trying to save money: where I had

The part-time gamekeeper: “So far three of the nine guns that make up the syndicate have withdrawn and I think that more will follow”

a monthly contract with extra ‘at need’ call outs, many of them are reducing to just ringing up when the infestation gets bad and still expecting instant service. The other problem is payment. It seems to take longer and longer for some of them to settle up. I have sold my two company vans and have reduced my subcontractor’s work by about 50%, doing most of it myself, with a bit of help from my son.”

Case 3: the driven shot

I met Eric when I was in the Gun Room. He was one of those chaps

that has no permanent shooting: he prefers to buy days here and there. It has its advantages – new ground, new people, different challenges. He is fortunate enough to be able to afford this method of obtaining sport, but even he is having to watch out.

“I have had to change my shooting – you would not believe the price per bird some of these shoots are asking! If you add up shooting itself, fuel (petrol Range Rover) and tips to the keepers, at this point it really is economic suicide,” he said.

“I have taken to buying days on small local shoots, travelling no more than 20 miles, and I have been lucky enough to receive quite a few invitations from private shoots – it could be a lot worse.”

Case 4: the part-time gamekeeper

I met Clive some years ago. He was then the head keeper on a private shoot in Warwickshire. Having been invited as a guest gun I wrote in a past piece about being forced to withdraw by the behaviour of a couple of Hooray Henrys. Clive was disgusted by this pair. He loaded my car with far more birds than I should have had and promised that they would never be invited again.

As you know I am now part-time

The urabn feral pigeon controller: “While most of the customers accept that while they need to control ferals, they are all trying to save money”

on a small shoot. I have never seen anything like this – not even in 2008.

I have no paid assistants, which is just as well as I am sure they would have been made redundant. So far three of the nine guns that make up the syndicate have withdrawn and I think that more will follow. I honestly don’t think the shoot will survive. It won’t matter to me as I intend to retire at the end of the season and help my son in his business, but I really do fear for the future of shooting.`

This view was reinforced by other

people at the sharp end of shooting, including beaters, pickers up – one lady who normally is asked at least twice a week has so far been out twice!

I intend to try and get interviews with more field sports-oriented businesses. From choice I will be speaking to a couple of fishery owners, a gun shop, a rural publican and a few others.

I don’t have any doubt that this downturn is going to be a bad one, but as the saying goes you ‘never give in. More next time. Good sport and stay safe!

Argo Tractors partners xFarm Technologies

Argo Tractors has signed a partnership with xFarm Technologies, a tech company dedicated to the digitalisation of the agri-food sector.

In recent years, Argo Tractors has been engaged in a digitalisation process, which has entailed investments in B2B and B2C e-commerce, Isobus technology, telematics and remote diagnostics (thanks to a framework agreement with ACTIA), and GPS assisted guidance (developed with Topcon). Today, this process has reached new heights in terms of absolute excellence

and technology thanks to the agreement signed with xFarm Technologies, which will allow the Farm Management Information System to be applied to all the group’s tractors.

The project is based on the experience gained by xFarm Technologies, which developed the xFarm platform to provide operators with a simple and intuitive farm management system. The app offers various basic functions designed to simplify general management tasks by allowing for the complete digital management

xFarm’s farm management information system will be applied to all of Argo’s tractor fleet

of fields, activities and fleets of machinery. Thanks to the sensors in the field and the connected machinery, it also ensures complete, real-time monitoring of the farm and the vehicles, thus assisting the farmer in taking operational and agronomic decisions. This partnership will also benefit all the other players in the agri-food chain. The data provided by the agricultural machinery represent the true binding element underlying the agricultural process. Digitalisation not only guarantees greater agronomic efficiency, but also improves production monitoring at the supply chain level, with the interconnected vehicles recording every activity carried out, thus improving traceability and even providing sustainability reports.

“This strategic partnership [aims to] provide farmers with the most suitable technological tools in order to ensure

increasingly efficient and sustainable production,” said Matteo Vanotti CEO of xFarm Technologies. “Agricultural machinery represents an invaluable data source, and we are thrilled to co-operate with a major international player like Argo Tractors. Having data analysis and processing tools available is the first step to making the most of these tractors.”

“The digital strategy in which Argo Tractors has been investing for several years now is aimed at offering customers an inclusive experience: from the tractor itself, to the related digital and off-line services, complete with smart and userfriendly management,” said Antonio Salvaterra of Argo Tractors. “The customers and sales networks play a central role in our digital project, as they have the possibility of interacting directly and taking advantage of simple yet cuttingedge technology.”

Kubota expands with Vincent Tractors Pöttinger acquires MaterMacc

RIGHT: The Wellington depot complements existing locations in Holsworthy, north Devon, near Plympton in south Devon, and the company’s headquarters in Fraddon, Cornwall

Kubota UK has announced that Vincent Tractors & Plant has further widened its geographical area, reaching north east from its existing Devon and Cornwall locations with a new depot in Wellington, Somerset.

This progressive extension of Vincent’s sales area and customer base sees the dealership expand into parts of Somerset, and north and east Devon with a fourth depot to support agricultural and groundcare customers throughout the South West of England.

“Vincent Tractors & Plant’s expansion continues to strengthen Kubota’s commitment to its customers and the markets in which our business operates,” said Henry Bredin, general manager of Kubota’s tractor business unit. “This strategic expansion sees the Vincent family continue to develop its partnership with Kubota, as it actively supports a wider customer base in both agricultural and groundcare sectors.”

The additional depot complements existing locations in Holsworthy, north Devon, plus Smithaleigh near Plympton in south Devon, and the company’s headquarters in Fraddon, Cornwall. From Wellington, the company will provide sales, parts, service and support for the Kubota

tractor and implement ranges, and Kubota groundcare equipment.

As Vincent’s newest Kubota centre, the Wellington depot opened its doors to customers in November and includes extensive stores, showroom and workshop facilities.

Easily accessed from J26 of the M5 and the north Devon link-road, the dealership is able to support customers in north Devon and Somerset.

Serving agriculture, construction and grounds maintenance sectors across Cornwall for more than 50 years, the business that was started by Ken and Esme Vincent has recently welcomed third-generation family members Alec and Nick Vincent into the fold. The brothers’ arrival, combined with ongoing business expansion – both geographically and with a diverse range of equipment – puts the dealership in a strong position to continue growing its customer base.

“We’re pleased to be a part of this exciting journey with Kubota, but just as importantly, we’re looking forward to welcoming new and existing agricultural and groundcare customers through the doors at Wellington,” said sales director Nick Vincent.

Pöttinger complemented its product portfolio for modern arable farming through the acquisition of the Italian manufacturer MaterMacc Spa. The existing range of seed drills is thus expanded to include precision seeding technology. The purchase was completed on November 7.

MaterMacc, based in San Vito al Tagliamento in northern Italy, is known for precision seeding technology, mechanical and pneumatic seeding technology, chopping technology and other OEM components. The products, the passion for agriculture, the location and above all the workforce complement each other very well and show many parallels to Pöttinger’s family business. In addition, Pöttinger is focused on finding new technologies for its established markets. The Austrians have set themselves the goal of utilising synergies to further develop existing technologies while meeting their high standards.

MaterMacc currently employs around 80 persons. Pöttinger relies on continuity and will acquire the entire staff and factory, thus utilising existing experience. For the time being, the brand, sales, service network and the spare parts supply will remain the same. However, Pöttinger will contribute its know-how in the best possible way in order to achieve the usual success in the new segments. MaterMacc’s existing customers will continue to have access to the trusted service and support.

“With this acquisition we have taken another step towards a successful future. The innovative products for modern agriculture and the passion of the people at MaterMacc fit perfectly into the world of Pöttinger,” said Gregor Dietachmayr, the speaker of the executive board.

YAMS returns for 2023

Purchasing farm machinery remains one of the biggest decisions that farmers and agricultural contractors ever have to make and one event that has given Yorkshire’s farming community the perfect platform to view all of the latest equipment returns early next year with somewhere near 99.9% of manufacturers and local dealers present.

The Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show (YAMS), held at the York Auction Centre in Murton, will take place for the ninth time since its inception on Wednesday, February 8 and all indications are that it looks to be back to full capacity, with the prospect of around 250 tradestands for the 15,000-plus that made it a recordbreaking attendance in 2022.

Such has been the success of YAMS that it has now also become an awardwinner taking the Rural Event of the Year Award at the recent Rural Awards held at the Pavilions of Harrogate.

Founder and organiser Richard Tasker said that he is able to look forward to YAMS 2023 with a great deal more positivity than in the lead up to YAMS 2022.

“This time last year there were rising numbers of Covid cases and restrictions on large gatherings of people. It wasn’t until the week before YAMS that we were able to talk with any real certainty of it definitely going ahead despite the amount of planning we had been committed to.

“It was a difficult time for everyone as the restrictions that had been in place over the previous 18 months had impacted on staffing numbers available for those with tradestands and a very real lack of product availability.

“But when the day of YAMS came around the sun shone kindly on us and we were taken aback by the numbers that attended, which even at a cautious estimate, from numbers of cars and coaches on the YAMS car parks, was well in excess of 15,000.

Those figures proved beyond any

doubt that YAMS has become a farming institution since its more modest startup in 2014 and Tasker said that the event shows no signs of abating.

BELOW: Farmers gathered to check out the latest machinery on offer

Yorkshire is a hotbed of the farm machinery world. Some of the top agricultural machinery businesses in the UK are located in the county –Claas UK and Ripon Farm Services – and also in the top 20 in the UK are Peacock & Binnington and Russell’s.

The early part of the year is always a major decision-making time for those buying new farm machinery. It is a period when everyone has the opportunity to spend a little time looking around at what will work best and suit what they are trying to do.

Looking at new products on the market that will help reduce expenditure, improve soil management or increase efficiency are all major considerations.

YAMS brings everything together on one show site and provides that perfect platform for everyone to see everything, touch everything, and do business, as well as also providing the first big social event in Yorkshire’s farming calendar.

YAMS has on-field parking at York Auction Centre with overspill parking well marked and a highly efficient park and ride bus service from Grimston Bar, signposted from the A64 that offers easy car parking.

Major

Major Equipment has upgraded its verge mower for extra durability and agility.

With full 140° movement and powerful shredding capabilities, the verge mower helps local authorities, highway maintenances teams and professional crews keep roadside verges and hedges in check.

The hydraulically controlled arm can go 35° down into ditches and embankments and up 90° to trim hedges, shrubs and trees in one fluid motion. In offset mode, the 1.56m extension suits mowing under trees and around fences.

Heavy duty gearboxes transmit power consistently to the blades, which ensures even cutting and mulching in light and heavy vegetation. Added shock load protection within the gearboxes dampen vibration as well as protect the machine in the event of a collision. Rubber skirting around the deck encases flying debris.With fewer

wearing parts than flails, the verge mower is also easier to maintain and more cost effective to run.

The verge mower comes in two working widths. The 1.43m model has two rotors with eight blades while the 2.11m model has three rotors with 12 blades. Cutting height can be easily adjusted from 15mm to 100mm. The

mower folds vertically in transport mode to 1.60m width. The mower is rear mounted onto Class 2 tractors with options for left or right-hand manoeuvring.

Made of high performance Strenx steel and galvanised to ISO standards, the mower is an exceptional investment for the long term.

Etesia launches new ride-on mower

Etesia UK has launched the Hydro 80 MKHPF ride-on mower, which has been designed specifically for long, rough grass areas.

The new ride-on mower combines the working comfort of a Hydro 80 with the mowing power of the Attila SKD brushcutter. The ride-on can mow in any weather and is the ideal model for users with high mowing demands.

Compact, flexible and efficient, the new Hydro 80 MKHPF is suitable for mowing any terrain. It boasts four cutting heights for perfect mowing from 50 to 92mm. Furthermore, its extremely short turning radius makes it ideal for small areas or heavily wooded fields.

The Hydro 80 MKHPF has been built with the operator in mind and is extremely user friendly. It boasts hydrostatic transmission for instant advancing, reversing, and braking with differential lock; easy maintenance thanks to quick access to all mechanical parts; perfect visibility of the working environment and all functions are accessible from the driver’s seat.

The powerful Kawasaki engine, based on the latest technology, ensures a high quality of work. The chassis of the mower has already proven itself in the Hydro 80 models, and the bumper has been reinforced and adapted for mowing so that the MKHPF can pass through even the tallest grass.

This robustness is also apparent in the Hydro’s

The MKHPF has an hydrostatic transmission for instant advancing, reversing, and braking with differential lock

mastershock mowing deck. It is impact resistant and durable. Steel reinforcements on both sides allow for a side opening for easy cleaning of the interior of the housing and for sharpening the blades. It is also corrosion resistant.

The MKHPF offers the possibility to add many accessories. You can spread, scarify, and clear snow with the mower.

New Holland pioneers alternative fuels at Tech Day

New Holland Agriculture unveiled two new prototype tractors – the T7 Methane Power Liquefied Natural Gas and the T4 Electric Power – and new autonomy features at the CNH Industrial Tech Day event, which was held in Phoenix, Arizona, on December 7–8, 2022.

T7 Methane Power

The world’s first LNG tractor unveiled at the event is a prototype developed to meet the increasing need for high horsepower machines that combine excellent performance with lower emissions and operating costs.

With its LNG power solution, New Holland will more than double the autonomy of its current methane products while increasing overall farm sustainability. This is because using liquefied methane delivers four times as much fuel storage capacity when compared to using compressed gas (CNG). This greatly increases the tractor’s autonomy, even when performing power intensive applications. With a 270hp model, the T7 Methane Power LNG delivers the same power and torque as the equivalent diesel tractor.

The T7 Methane Power LNG features the patented active temperature-controlled fuel system. It incorporates a stainless-steel cryogenic tank that is moulded to match its diesel counterpart, maximising space and effectively storing liquified methane on board the tractor. The system has a self-supporting vacuum space that insulates the fuel within and reduces the tank’s thickness. Once out in the field, the tanks’ active temperature control ensures that the engine runs smoothly.

The tractor can be powered by liquefied biomethane sourced from livestock manure and slurry, meaning that it is even more sustainable.

Bennamann, the UK-based start-up partnering with New Holland, claims its approach can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of an average dairy farm as well as reducing the use of CO2 intensive chemical fertilisers, as it displaces the use of fossil fuel in tractors, electricity

The T7 Methane Power LNG can deliver the same power and torque as the equivalent diesel tractor

generation and heat provision, and reduces the need for slurry spreading.

T4 Electric Power

The second major innovation unveiled at the event is the industry’s first all-electric utility tractor prototype with autonomous features, the T4 Electric Power.

The tractor’s battery offers excellent runtime, up to one full day of use, and it can be recharged in just one hour with fast charging systems. The machine can also be used as a backup power source for other devices and machines, or to provide energy for implements.

The noise level has been reduced by up to 90% and vibration has also been substantially dampened. The T4 Electric Power meets the stringent noise regulations set out by municipalities, allows for night-time operation, and improves livestock’s wellbeing, especially when working inside covered areas, such as a barn.

The new T4 Electric Power delivers excellent performance with great control and responsiveness compared to a diesel machine, together with significant operating and maintenance cost savings, and a carbon neutral footprint. During tests, the T4 Electric Power showed great responsiveness, with efficient performance, great traction control plus smoother shuttling and gear shifts, making it a pleasure to drive. Tests also showed a reduction in operating costs by up to 90%, as well as eliminating diesel fuel costs and associated maintenance fees.

New generation of greener engines from AGCO

AGCO has announced a new engine that can run on recycled and potentially green fuels. The Core75 engine that features in the recently released Fendt 700 Vario Gen 7 can provide almost carbon neutral operation and has a futureproof design that may see it further developed to run on hydrogen or become an electric hybrid.

When run on HVO fuels, the diesel engines are already close to carbon neutral. However, the Core75 engine has been designed to be compatible with future fuels such as hydrogen, ethanol, methanol, biogas, and could potentially operate as an electric hybrid with further development.

The new engine is more robust, despite having fewer parts. This simplified design makes it more reliable and easier to service. It also meets even the most stringent emissions standards thanks to an advanced EAT (Emission Aftertreatment) system, which removes the need for an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system.

The Core75 is the first in a planned wider range. It is a 7.5-litre, 223-kW unit designed for improved torque, fuel economy and reliability. The engine’s design and positioning has also provided an improved turning circle and higher ground clearance.

The Core75 engine may be further developed to run on hydrogen or become an electric hybrid

The 748 features an 8ft easy flow race, while the 7416 gets a longer 16ft race.

A five-year guarantee is standard, with lifetime guarantees on the crush’s rubber floor, rump fingers, squeeze locks and headgate locks.

Robotic feed pusher adds 3 litres per cow

Increased demand for triple auger mixers reflect BvL’s Lamma display

Centre stage on the BvL stand at Lamma will be a 33cu m V-Mix Plus 3S, reflecting the considerable increase in interest they have seen for this size of diet feeder. At the other end of the size scale there will also be on display a 12cu m single auger machine.

Over the past year, BvL has seen a considerable increase in UK sales of their larger V-Mix Plus triple auger mixers, with over three times as many being already sold in 2022 compared to the previous year.

This includes the recent order for the largest triple auger machine in the BvL range – the 46cu m V-Mix Plus, which will be one of the largest trailed diet feeders working on-farm in the UK.

wedges for a thorough and consistent mix, while the patented EDS (exact dosing system) ensures an even forage discharge.

Large diet feeders can be particularly hard on tractor drive trains, especially when starting and during the early stages of the mix. To reduce load on the tractor and make the V-Mix easier to drive, BvL offer a Powershift gearbox which incorporates a reduction gear with integral hydraulic clutch. This allows the V-Mix to be started in a low gear and for pto speed to be increased under load up to full mixing speed, so reducing strain on the complete drive train.

Dairy Feeder Go app

Following the 2018 launch of the OptiDuo feed pushing robot, DeLaval has launched a new model claiming the technology can add up to three litres per cow per day. Data from over 1500 OptiDuos has been collated to demonstrate the time and labour savings made by users..

“Constantly refreshing feed encourages cows to eat more, which results in a more stable rumen and more milk. OptiDuo will run up to 10 times a day and customers tell us, that on every occasion, they see the cows return to the fence to eat more,” said Ludo Bols, DeLaval feeding specialist.

The OptiDuo remixes forage to make it more palatable and reduce waste. A twin-spiralled rotating auger and adaptive drive function enables a variety of forage types to be mixed and made available to cows 24 hours a day.

“For consistent yield and milk quality you need a consistent ration mix. Cows don’t like change,” said BvL specialist John Molton. “It is not uncommon to see a 17 or 20cu m diet feeder being replaced by a 30+cu m triple auger machine. Not only does it save a lot of time, but because they are perhaps only doing three mixes instead of six, overall ration consistency is improved considerably. Also by maybe only needing one mix instead of two for a group of cows, again group ration consistency is improved.”

He adds that operating cost for a triple auger machine will also be considerably less than for a similar sized twin auger.

As on all BvL feeders, at the heart of the Triple-Auger 30–3S feeder are the powerful mixing augers, with Hardox leading edges and adjustable knives. The mixing chamber incorporates mixing

Also on display at Lamma will be information on the Dairy Feeder Go app, the new entry-level version of the cloud-based V-Connect dairy feeder system, which is an essential aid to feed consistency and will be free for customers ordering a new machine.

The cloud-based Dairy Feeder system makes it extremely easy to share and view ration mixes and herd information, and for the TMR mix to be uploaded to the V-MIX diet feeder control terminal so that the ration can be accurately replicated mix after mix.

When using the entry-level version of the Dairy Feeder app, the customer can enter their animal groups, feed components and rations.

Using the app it is also possible to adjust the load quantity relative to the number of animals that need to be fed. So, for instance as cows are dried off or come back into the milking herd after calving, the ration quantity can be quickly and easily adjusted.

LAMMA 2023

Lamma 2023 takes place on 10–11 January 2023 at the NEC Birmingham. The UK’s premier farm machinery show, the event connects farmers from all sectors with companies who provide cutting-edge machinery, technology and equipment for the farming industry. With over 600 exhibitors to see, your day could be a very long one…

TRACTORS

Kubota Kubota (UK) will roll out more options for the 104–143hp M6001 Utility tractor series as it aims to improve comfort, versatility and efficiency.

The series offers five models from 104–143hp, and meets EU Stage V emissions with an improved exhaust after-treatment package that contributes to lowering the cost of ownership.

Short wheelbase models comprise the M6-101U and M6-111U, which use a 3.8-litre four-cylinder engine producing maximum power of 104hp and 111hp respectively. With a 2.54m wheelbase, these two models offer maximum torque figures of 346Nm and 379Nm.

M6-121U, M6-131U and M6-141U sit on a longer 2.68m wheelbase, and use the 6.1-litre four-cylinder

engine, as found in the M6002 and M7003 tractor series. Power outputs are 123hp, 133hp and 143hp, with maximum torque figures of 503Nm, 544Nm and 586Nm respectively.

At launch, only the range-topping M6-141 Utility model was equipped with front axle suspension. The suspended front axle can now be factory-fitted to the other four lesser powered models as an option, improving ride quality and operator comfort.

Further versatility for all M6001 Utility tractors is the addition of a front linkage and front pto package. The linkage comprises a Cat IIIN format with a 2.8-tonne lift capacity. The use of fold-up lower link arms simplifies integration with a loader. In addition, buyers can also add a double-acting spool outlet with the front linkage, while the front pto pack comprises a 1000rpm speed.

Front mudguards are now available

for the short wheelbase M6-101U and M6-111U models.

Engine technology on the M6001 Utility series brought improvements to DOC and DPF performance. A DPF regeneration is achieved at around 1200rpm, and with a much lower working temperature of just 50C. This makes regeneration easier to achieve with light engine loads, leading to lower noise levels and reduced fuel burn.

DPF cleaning intervals are 8000 hours for the 6.1-litre engine, and up to 6000 hours for the smaller 3.8-litre engine, again contributing to reduced operating costs. The engine oil change requirement is every 500 hours on all M6001 Utility models.

Across the series, a 40kph semipowershift transmission is used, which provides eight powershifts in three mechanical ranges to create a 24x24 gearbox. The option of a creeper range increases the choice

of ratios to 32x32. Transmission functionality includes auto-shifting in each range, and a sensitivity dial – the latter allows operators to adjust the responsiveness of gear changes to suit load on the tractor.

Operator comfort is provided by an air suspension seat in the same cab frame shared with M6002 and M7003 models, while front axle suspension is available as an option. A wide sunroof offers generous visibility for those looking to equip M6001 Utility models with a loader, of which there are two variants – 3.7m or 4m lift height to the pin, and maximum lift capacities of 1.95 tonnes or 2.2 tonnes respectively.

A fixed displacement open centre hydraulic system provides 71 and 77 litres/min of oil flow respectively for short- and long-wheelbase models, while two mechanically operated spool valves are fitted as standard. One additional rear spool is optional.

Cat III rear linkage includes electronic linkage control with a 5 tonne lift capacity on short wheelbase models and 6.1 tonne for long wheelbase tractors. Pto equipment includes 540/1000 speeds as standard, with a 540 Eco option available.

M6001 Utility models also benefit from Kubota’s portal front axle with bevel gear drive, offering generous ground clearance and a 55° steering angle.

Fendt

Fendt, meanwhile, brings with it a host of new machinery and technology for visitors to see for the first time. The new Fendt 700 Vario Gen 7 will be the first machine seen in the UK and features a new 7.5 litre engine with outputs of 203hp for the 720 model and more than 300hp for the top 728 model.

Fendt has established the brand in the green harvest sector with a variety of grassland machinery including the

A 40kph semipowershift transmission is used across the M6001 Utility tractor series

Tigo VR forage wagon and the Rotana round baler. Visitors will be able to get to grips with both on the stand, along with a range of other grassland machinery including the Cutter, Slicer, Twister and Lotus.

Larger machines including the new Katana 850 forage harvester and latest IDEAL combine will also be on show, demonstrating the depth of the Fendt range to all areas of agriculture, especially contractors and larger farms.

The FendtONE onboard/offboard concept will also be available for visitors to experience. Data-driven farming is being more widely adopted as a precision led method to improve agricultural efficiencies and FendtONE demonstrates how data collected by machines in the field can help make operational decisions in the farm office.

Further tractors including the high horsepower sector models and the latest Rogator sprayer will also be available for arable operators considering which machines to trade up to in 2023.

chassis can then be driven away and fitted with other bodies, including a tanker, flatbed, and rock unit. The changeover takes an hour to complete, with the added benefit of the body staying free of contamination and damage during storage.

The smaller of the two Hooklift models will display the HM19 Half-Pipe Rock body, aimed at users requiring a dedicated unit for carting bulky materials. The benefits of the half pipe design include the selfcleaning nature, allowing all cargo to exit the trailer without becoming lodged in the front corners. The model on the stand will be a 15 cu m design with a standard hydraulic tailgate.

Farmers are interested in ways to make their investments go further and along with being able to switch between different bodies, from a safety aspect, it means maintaining only one set of wheels and brakes.

Hi-Spec

Hi-Spec Engineering will be exhibiting a range of products, including a new addition to their vacuum tanker range.

The new Hi-Spec TS-R tanker is available in a range of capacities from 2000 up to 4000 gallons. The tanker body is fully supported and is carried on a commercial tandem-axle, fitted with 710/50-R26.5 tyres with semirecessed mudguards.

Fendt is targeting the grassland sector with the likes of the Tigo VR forage wagon

TRAILERS & TANKERS

HM Trailers

A trio of trailers offering users the option to switch bodies to increase versatility and safety will be shown by HM Trailers at Lamma.

The Essex-based manufacturer will be displaying a pair of Hook-lift trailers, in HL-16 and HL-20 designs with the former sporting a new HalfPipe rock body, alongside a body prop version of its HM 1517 grain trailer.

The body prop on the HM 1517 grain trailer allows the body to be removed without the need to mechanically lift it off the chassis. A supporting leg on each corner allows the various hydraulics to be disconnected before the bare

The combination of narrower width but lower rolling resistance tyres to keep soil compaction to a minimum and the semi-recessed mudguard design has the benefit that overall width and height are reduced, making the TS-R a more nimble tanker and ideal for use where operating space is restricted.

As standard, the Hi-Spec TS-R is fitted with a sprung drawbar with swivel hitch and the barrel is made from 6mm British steel and incorporates internal baffles and anti-implosion rings. Also standard is a powerful Jurop pump and the TS-R can be specified with a wide range of filling options.

Spreading options for the TS-R include the Hi-Spec Trailing Shoe applicator, which is available in working widths of 7.5, 9.0 and 10.5 metres. Alternatively there is the 7.5 metre wide Hi-Spec Dribble Bar, which folds down to just 2.55 metres for transport.

In addition, also on display will be

a Hi-Spec SA-R (single axle recessed) tanker. Capacities on the 6-model SA-R models are from 1,350 gallons up to 3,000 gallons. All SA-R models are fitted with commercial brakes and the show model is on 750/60 R30.5 Alliance 181D tyres. The tanker body is built from 6mm thick British steel, is fitted with a Jurop vacuum pump and incorporates internal implosion rings. The show model will also be fitted with a Vogelsang Blackbird trailing shoe applicator.

Also on the Hi-Spec stand will be the Hi-Spec XCEL 1250 rear discharge spreader. Unlike other rear discharge spreaders, the XCEL 1250 is unique in that it uses a combination of a shredding rotor fitted with 22 heavy duty chains with 12mm Hardox flail heads. These are mounted under a 4mm Hardox hood that shreds all the material to an even consistency which is then spread by two spreading rotors. An adjustment plate on the shredding rotor hood evenly places the manure onto the spreading discs to ensure an even spread.

The Xcel 1250 has the capability to achieve an even spread pattern up to 24 metres. It has a capacity of 12 tonnes, typical discharge time is 3–5 minutes and it is able to spread all types of material such as farmyard manure, sludge cake, muck lime, wood mulch and chicken compost.

DRILLS

Claydon

The focus will be on the new range of Evolution mounted drills for Claydon, all of which are designed for drilling

direct but can also be used after consolidation in ploughing and mintill scenarios. The model on show, the 3m seed and fertiliser version, will be exhibited alongside a 4m Hybrid T4 trailed drill, a 7.5m Straw Harrow and a 4m TerraBlade inter-row hoe.

The nine models in the new range incorporate enhanced operational functionality with the tried and tested features which have made Claydon Opti-Till® the crop establishment system of choice for growers who want to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve soil health.

The two-tine technology is at the heart of every Claydon drill, a major benefit being its ability to cope with extremes of weather which are becoming increasingly frequent. It delivers exceptional versatility in all climatic conditions, soil types and crops, yet moves soil only in the growing zone. The front tine removes compaction, aerates the soil, and creates drainage in the rooting zone, while the seeding tine deposits seeds in the surface tilth. Zonal cultivation

HM trailers will have on show three trailers that can swap bodies

means that the previous rooting and soil structure remains largely intact, allowing worms to thrive and soil biota levels to improve.

With working widths of 3m, 4m, 4.5m, 4.8m, 5m and 6m, the Evolution models incorporate 9, 13, 15 or 19 tines respectively. While most feature a 1910-litre hopper, the 3m Evolution 3MF and 4m 4MRF models incorporate a 2700-litre tank with a 50:50 split between seed and fertiliser. The larger hopper increases productivity, while second and third hopper options for applying multiple types, varieties and sizes of seed are available to further enhance versatility.

All Evolution models feature a hydraulic fan, Artemis metering control, tramlining facility, front tine/7in A-share configuration, double rear toolbar and road lights. Typical daily outputs range from 20ha for the 3m Evolution, which requires a minimum of 150hp, to 40ha for the 6m version, which needs a minimum of 300hp.

The new range incorporates additional features which improve operational functionality. Seed depth adjustment is controlled hydraulically, improved access to the metering unit allows easier calibration, while frontmounted discs which are operated hydraulically from the tractor seat can be specified as an optional extra.

Evolution mounted drills will be the main draw on offer from Claydon

Other features include quick-fit knock-on/knock-off coulter options for the standard leading tine and A-Share to low disturbance twin disc and tine options. Multiple seed tool options allow a wide range of crops to be drilled across different soil types and situations, while the quick-change facility allows fast, easy modification when required.

Options include GPS variable seed rate capability, pre-emergence marker arms, front disc toolbar, stone protection, micro fertiliser applicator, low-disturbance twin tine kit, slug pelleter, blockage sensors and a light and vision kit.

The Evolution keeps running costs to a minimum, which together with reliable operation and minimum downtime enables fuel-efficient farming and minimal soil disturbance in all sowing scenarios, without compromising crop establishment or yields. The drill’s simple, robust design and great flexibility allows its use in the autumn or spring to establish any crop that can be air sown.

Alstrong

The new second generation Alstrong Auctus one pass rejuvenation machine will be unveiled to the public for the first time at Lamma.

The machine is designed to sow seed into ploughed ground, burn-off swards or into existing pasture in a one pass solution.

New features include a redesigned headstock, modified ripper paddles and a new freewheeling ‘revolving scraper’. The unit has the capability to handle all sizes of seed, from sowing fine seed from as low as 1kg/ha to grass seed at up to 80kg/ha.

The latest generation machine is now attached to the tractor via a new two-point linkage gyroscopic system. This new gyroscopic drawbar system makes the machine far more manoeuvrable. Offering up to 90° movement in each direction, it also improves the machine’s ground following ability. The new design means users can freely swap the machine from tractor to tractor, regardless of tyre size, and simply adjust the height of the lift arms.

To increase versatility, the tips of the sprung levelling boards have been redesigned, and now offer a more ripping, aggressive affect. The angled tips are made from 8mm Hardox and are designed to scarify and scratch the surface, breaking and removing dead material, opening the sward for soilseed contact.

Spread across two rows, the eleven sprung paddles are hydraulically adjustable on the move and are braced, helping to distribute the load. This new design vastly increases the flexibility of the machine, allowing it to perform successfully in even tougher conditions.

A spiked drum roller designed to repair poached soil and surface damage follows the ripper paddles.

Alstrong: sows seed into ploughed ground, burn-off or existing pasture in a one pass solution

The drum is fitted with 60, 80mm blades which cut the ground 14 times per square metre, equating to 56,664 cuts per acre. This aerates the root zone, allowing air and water to penetrate faster, encouraging growth. If more weight and downward force is required, the drum can be filled with water. This increases the unit’s dry weight from 4.5 tonnes to 5.3 tonnes, adding an additional 800kg.

The aeration roller runs on the surface. To avoid soil sticking to it in sticky conditions, Alstrong have now introduced the new revolving scraper. This free-wheeling scraper roller is engineered to run close to the drum and in between the spikes, removing any debris before it gets an opportunity to accumulate.

The two rows of hydraulically controlled tines have been increased in diameter from 11mm to 12mm. These are designed to stimulate and further condition the sward, and the heavier tine will offer even more bite. These can also be adjusted on the move, from the cab. This is followed by a 560mm self-cleaning prismatic roller which covers the seed and consolidates the seedbed.

The axle is now rated to be pulled at 50kph and comes with a soft ride feature. It uses a pressurised accumulator to absorb shocks on the road, for smooth transportation. With

the new generation, Alstrong have also added a rear galvanised spoiler. With eight mounting points, it carries the hoses from the seeder down to the splash plates.

The seeding unit now features a smart motor which has a builtin encoder. This relays real time information from the motor to the control box. Regardless of the application rate, the motor always runs at 100% torque for absolute metering precision.

VEGETABLE HANDLING

Tong

Tong Engineering will demonstrate its latest handling equipment advances that focus on overcoming postharvest labour challenges.

With record sales of the FieldLoad Pro in 2022 destined for UK vegetable growers as well as overseas producers as far as Australia and Canada, the Fieldloader has proved a gamechanger in effectively cleaning and loading crop in the field, straight from the harvester. This results in a much more streamlined postharvest handling process, requiring fewer operators and no unnecessary carting of soil as all soil and debris is left in the field. The FieldLoad Pro with Tong’s EasyClean separator is a particularly popular specification for unrivalled cleaning in all conditions.

Tong’s optical sorting live event, which has been running throughout 2022, has given growers the opportunity to see how postharvest handling efficiencies can be maximised when integrating optical sorting for stone and debris removal.

The company will also be showcasing its wide range of vegetable washing solutions at alongside the latest models of its box and big bag handling equipment.

Tong’s FieldLoad Pro has seen record sales in 2022

New knife roller for Terradisc T from

Compact disc harrows are extremely versatile tillage implements. To make them even more effective and flexible, the TerraDisc 4001 T, 5001 T and 6001 T trailed compact disc harrow can now be combined with a front knife roller.

The TerraDisc T, with working widths of up to 6 metres, can be equipped with a knife roller as a pre-tool to cover an even greater range of applications. This opens up a wide range of applications from seedbed preparation, stubble cultivation of cereals, oil seed rape, sunflowers and maize to the incorporation of cover crops. The additional shredding effect eliminates the need for prior cultivation and breaking up of the stubble. This saves time and resources. Likewise, it promotes the incorporation of organic matter as well as its microbial decomposition. Harmful organisms find it more difficult to reside there to survive the winter, so their growth in numbers is prevented. If the knife roller is not required on a particular job, it can be folded away completely so that it no longer contacts the soil.

The knives on the leading knife roller are arranged in a spiral. This ensures it rotates smoothly because it is in constant contact with the ground to produce a uniform load on the cutting edge. The roller diameter of 350mm ensures a high speed of rotation. These features deliver consistent chopping quality and high cutting intensity, resulting in a powerful shredding effect. Due to the knife roller’s consistently high cutting resistance, it operates reliably even on hard soils. The depth of the front tool is

adjusted hydraulically. This means that it is possible to react quickly to different site conditions.

The knife roller can be retrofitted to existing TerraDisc T models with a working width of 4 to 6 metres from the year of manufacture, 2018. All the mounting points required for this are already on the machines, which means that no modifications to the TerraDisc are necessary.

New mechanical couplers for Bobcat mini-excavator range

Bobcat has extended the company’s quick coupler portfolio with a full selection of new mechanical pin grabber systems available for the entire Bobcat miniexcavator line-up. They are ideal for use in many applications including construction, rental, roadwork, landscaping and agriculture.

The new mechanical couplers offer increased comfort and productivity, with its single visit design guaranteeing that operators can change between attachments quickly, easily and safely on the job site. Coupler systems like this

can convert mini-excavators into tool-carriers, enabling the operator to switch between buckets and a wide range of other attachments within minutes, maximising efficiency and output.

As well as speed and versatility, the reversibility of the new mechanical pin grabber couplers allows operators to work closer to walls or under pipes. Pin-on attachments are also simple to attach, an attractive feature for rental businesses and their customers, increasing the adaptability of machines and the return on investment.

The hook-shaped engineering design of the coupler means the bucket does not fall when unhooked. A perpendicular lock system ensures maximum safety when working with Bobcat mini-excavators.

The mechanical pin grabber systems are available for the entire Bobcat mini-excavator line-up

The proven and tested design offers peace of mind as there are no greasing requirements and few moving parts with no maintenance requirements (other than a daily inspection), guaranteeing that these are hassle-free couplers. The open and simple design is meant to work in mud, so it does not get trapped in the system and block the mechanism.

The mechanical pin grabber couplers are manufactured using extra-high-strength steel increasing durability, while optimising weight and the mini-excavator’s performance.

Combined with the knife roller, the Terradisc T models offer more flexibility and a wide range of applications
