With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team
1 David spent an afternoon
test-driving the latest model Ford Ranger pick-up, popular among farmers.
2 New Holland is bringing out a new mid-size combine next year, and Farmers Guide saw a pre-series example at work during harvest 2020.
3 This issue includes a
report on the new and updated Claas Lexion straw walker range following a recent demonstration day.
4 David reports from a
Norfolk farm, where a preseries version of the new John Deere X9 combine has been put through its paces.
5 Celebrating its 25th
anniversary, The Farming Community Network is encouraging supporters to walk for awareness.
Welcome to the September issue of Farmers Guide. August has certainly been a month of extremes, with the weather going from record temperatures and drought, to flood warnings aplenty, and back again. Given the season, it’s unsurprising that machinery editor David Williams’ focus has been on combines this issue, and he's certainly been kept busy. A new flagship to John Deere’s combine line-up was announced at Agritechnica last year, but specification and design details remained secret. This harvest, a small number of pre-series X9 machines have been working in the UK and David jumped at the opportunity to see one in action – you can read his report on page 41. Investment by Claas has resulted in new additions to the Lexion straw walker range as well as further series updates (page 62), while New Holland has revealed a mid-size combine will join its 2021 line-up (page 51). David also took a look at the brand-new Massey Ferguson 8S series tractors, which were launched worldwide in late July and are the production models of the NEXT concept tractor which was displayed at Agritechnica, plus he test-drove Ford’s bestselling Ranger pick-up. In a year where the annual industry events we all look forward to have had to be cancelled, we are all hoping 2021 will be different. So much so, in fact, that Farmers Guide has booked a stand at LAMMA 2021 in January, and we hope to see many of our readers there. A significant number of stands have already been allocated, so it should be a busy and welcome start to the year for many businesses, brands and visitors alike. With free entry and parking, visitor registration will be opening imminently via www.lammashow.com, where you can also sign up for the newsletter to keep up-to-date with the latest exhibitor news. While events being cancelled is a cause for disappointment for many, for charities it also means lost opportunities to raise vital funds. For 25 years, the Farming Community Network (FCN) has been supporting farmers and the wider industry throughout difficult times. With such great uncertainty ahead, it is anticipated
that the workload of FCN and other such charities will only increase in the future. In its 25th anniversary year, FCN will not be able to stage any large celebratory or fundraising events for the foreseeable future – and that is both a shame and a concern, as the funds raised at these events make such a difference to the lives of those who need it. So, FCN is looking at alternative ways to continue the important work they do. To raise awareness and encourage farmers to reach out to them if and when they need someone to talk to, whether it’s a big or small issue, on 10–11th October they are launching FCN’s Big 25 and asking supporters, friends and family to plan routes in their local areas, get their walking boots on and ask friends and family members to get together (in a socially responsible and safe way) and go for a walk in support of FCN. You can find out more about this campaign at www.justgiving.com/campaign/fcnbig25. FG
And finally… Wife’s diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting strangely. We met at a nice restaurant for dinner. He seemed off, and I thought he was upset by the fact that I was a bit late, but when I asked him what was wrong, he said: “Nothing.” I asked if it was something I had said or done, and he said he wasn’t upset, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled lightly, and just kept driving. I can’t explain his behaviour – I don’t know why he didn’t say “I love you too”. When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely. He sat in the living room, distant and absent. Finally, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed too. He fell asleep – and I cried. I don’t know what to do. I’m sure his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster. Husband’s diary: Tractor wouldn’t start this morning... Can’t figure it out!

Comment
Should harvest 2020 be consigned to the history books?
Image: Tom Ivey, Hertfordshire. “The harvest itself has been relatively easy; the weather’s been with us. Yields are down quite a lot – spring peas have yielded around 2.5t/ha, spring barley around 7.2t/ha. The peas are quite small; the spring barley, although it’s not malting, the yields are down quite a bit; the spring wheat I haven’t cut yet but it’s not looking fantastic. But the winter wheat has done surprisingly well considering the year we’ve had, at around 8.5t/ha," says Tom.
It’s been a strange year all round to say the least, but has the harvest so far been as disappointing as expected? Rachel Hicks spoke to some farmers and agronomists to find out more. At the time of writing in mid-August, ADAS is reporting current UK harvest progress as: winter wheat, 47 per cent area harvested; winter barley, 98 per cent area harvested; spring barley, 12 per cent area harvested; winter oats, 14 per cent harvested; winter OSR, 89 per cent area harvested. Overall, it’s a total mixed bag of results across the UK, but the general consensus is that it’s been a frustrating harvest so far – which was to be expected, with such a difficult year taking its toll on crop performance. Todd Jex, an Agrii agronomist covering the Wiltshire and Dorset area, comments: “Overall, the OSR has been disappointing, with the best word to describe it being variable – ranging from 2.4t/ha up to 4.4t/ha. The crops that survived the CSFB onslaught certainly weren’t helped by having roots sitting wet over the winter. Despite that, those that established well have yielded respectably. “Where winter barley was drilled in sensible conditions, the crop has
been excellent given the year, with lots of yields coming in around the 8–10t/ ha mark. Like the winter barley, the wheat has been surprisingly good with very strong bushel weights where it went in pre-Christmas. Yields so far have generally been between 9.5t/ha and 12t/ha. Extase has stood out as a variety that’s dealt with the drought. “Overall, the biggest factor this year has been the weather. The differences between heavy, poorly-drained land and free-draining, light soils have been vast, with the former meaning many crops didn’t get planted.” Adam Silvester, of WA Silvester, Dunhampton Farm near Droitwich, Worcestershire, is having a stop-start harvest. “We haven’t had the extended hot and dry period that many in the east are getting. However, we haven’t got as much to harvest as we would normally, as we only managed to get 50 per cent of our planned cropping into the ground in the autumn. Most of the OSR was lost to CSFB – in fact, it was the final nail in the coffin for
us and oilseed rape, and we are no longer planning on growing it. We have adapted the rotation to include canary grass as a break crop, and we left some land fallow with a cover crop. “We did manage to drill all the barley in the spring to fulfil our malting contracts. Results in so far are mixed; yields are not too bad, but the quality is not where it needs to be. Wheat yields are down, but not too bad considering – so far we are averaging 8.5t/ha. We don’t grow any milling wheats, so don’t have the problems with meeting quality specs.” Cotswolds-based Agrii agronomist John Vickery says that in his region, OSR has now been cut, with yields very disappointing – averaging 2–2.5t/ ha. “A wet winter and very dry pod fill period appear to be the main cause, and low oils may also be a victim of the latter. Most crops affected by CSFB were removed earlier in the season, but much of the remainder would have had some level of infestation hampering stressed plants,” he explains.
“Winter barley has also fallen well short of the longer term average by 30–40 per cent, with yields averaging 5–5.5t/ha. Odd fields have been better, but there have been some horrible lows of 4t/ha. “It’s early days for wheat, with just a few crops having been cut so far, but early indications are not very promising with these preliminary crops ranging anywhere between 4–7t/ha. Time will tell if the later maturing crops have managed to hang on to some better yield. “Spring barley harvest is also underway, but many crops will fail to make malting quality as pre-harvest glyphosate and a significant amount of drying has been required to manage the effects of secondary tillering, effectively meaning growers have had two crops in the same field. “Growers will hope 2020 harvest can be consigned to the history books very quickly,” Mr Vickery concludes. Based in Peterborough, Will Foss covers the east of England for Agrii and agrees with his colleagues that the main message is huge yield variability, but in terms of OSR he offers some interesting insight. “In OSR, the value of companion cropping is very apparent – on one farm near Cambridge, the difference was 0.75t/ha and on two farms in Suffolk – one with and one without companion cropping – the yields (although not directly comparative but neighbouring farms) went from 2.5t/ha max to 4.5t/ha; in trials, companion cropping adding up to 1t/ha extra yield,” he suggests.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice
Looking to the future, can growers keep up with the ever-increasing demand for cereals? Despite this being one of the most frustrating harvests for years, records have been broken in terms of both supply and demand – but import pricing will be a delicate balancing act. According to Cecilia Pryce, head of compliance shipping and research for Openfield (right), the latest USDA report shows a global combined wheat and maize crop some 60.55m metric tonnes larger than last year’s – another record-breaking crop. What the headlines don’t show, however, is that over the last 10 years, the demand for cereals has increased by some 411.8m metric tonnes, while supply has increased by 466.9m metric tonnes – a 29 per cent increase in supply and a 25 per cent increase in demand. Imagine where prices would be if crops hadn’t increased... In the future, will demand continue at such a pace and can chemistry and biology allow for higher yielding crops? Will the weather allow us to produce and combine them? The crystal ball into the future takes some reading but, whatever happens, the UK needs an agricultural policy that will keep us fed and our food secure – and, for that, we need farmers. In the UK, what has been an early harvest for some has been a prolonged pain for others – unfit crops proved to be this year’s frustration, along with some shocking yields for many. The fact is the UK wheat crop is unlikely
to be big enough to feed us all year. An average year’s demand for wheat in the UK, excluding ethanol and a carry out, is around 14.5m metric tonnes. If we maximise barley and maize throughout the balance sheets, we could probably drop demand for wheat to 13.5m metric tonnes. Of this demand, there is around 900,000 metric tonnes of imported inelastic wheat for breadmaking, leaving us needing a supply of 12.6m metric tonnes. The UK crop is unlikely to make this size but, if you consider there will also be old crop tonnes carried from the end of June, it may be possible to reach this number. Either way, supply will be tight and we are likely to trade as an island this year – but, with an EU28 wheat crop some 19m metric tonnes less than last year, the EU will also become less of a focus for global
wheat buyers. In fact, the EU, which was last year’s top wheat exporter, has dropped to third – exporting some 12m metric tonnes less, and being overtaken by Russia in the top spot with the US in second place. The long and short of this is that the EU and UK will not be pricing keenly for export destinations early in Crop Year 2020 unless we import even more maize. The price of maize imports and the size of the global maize crop is likely to be the central focus of every trader and farmer this year. Import too much wheat or maize, and the price balance will be broken. This season, the USDA reckons that the EU28 will be the world’s largest maize importer – repeating the imports from 2018/19 at 25 million metric tonnes. Time will show if this plays out, but the price will need to be correct and traders will have to overcome the levys and restrictions put in place by the EU, which may not be in place for the UK come 1st January 2021. In a similar vein, milling wheat imports to the UK may also be frustrated come 1st January. Nothing in life is simple, and grain marketing fits
that bill – assume nothing, check everything but do not do nothing!
Fertiliser matters During the last few weeks, we have seen firmness in the fertiliser market, with the spotlight heavily on urea, says Openfield's fertiliser manager Lucy Hassell (left). Significant increase in demand from India is driving the urea market, with their April–July volume at 11.51m tonnes vs 7.77m tonnes in the same period last year. This, in turn, has led to an increase in Nitrogen values as we see suppliers withdrawing early August offerings, and once again moving prices on. As we would expect, there has been little demand in the UK of late as the focus has been on harvest, with interest expected to increase now we’re into September. I feel it’s vital to highlight the importance of the government guidelines and 5-point plan for the safe storage and handling of AN, following the very serious incident in Beirut last month. Although this is something we are all aware of, these guidelines can be found on the AIC website. FG

Company donates children’s wellington boots to Trust Bayer Crop Science UK’s new head of business, Marion McPherson (pictured above right), has handed over 80 pairs of children’s wellington boots to Dr Alastair Leake (pictured above left), director of the Allerton Trust. The boots, of various sizes, will be used when parties of school children visit the Allerton Trust farm in Loddington. Marion said: “We are delighted to make this contribution as part of our commitment to improving the understanding of how our food is grown, especially to school-age children.” Alastair commented: “We have many school visits to the farm and the Visitor Centre here at the Allerton Trust, many of them from inner-city areas devoid of mud and without the need of footware of this type. These boots will really help our educational outreach activities, particularly on wet day visits.”
Takeaway market growth boosts red meat and potato sectors Brits are buying more takeaways than they did before lockdown, with latest figures showing a two per cent rise in orders compared to March. And the latest research shows that the wider choice in fast food chains has benefited all sectors, with big gains for the red meat sector, potatoes and dairy. AHDB retail insight manager, Rebecca Gladman, said: “The reopening of most fast food brands has brought good news for all sectors, with volumes rising at pace, without negatively impacting lamb and cheese – the only two sectors to benefit from the limited takeaway options at the start of lockdown.” According to AHDB estimates, lamb volumes are up 89 per cent in the 20 weeks to 12th July, with kebabs being key to the impressive growth. Pizza has accounted for most of the growth in cheese volumes – up 83 per cent during the 20-week period. Pork has returned to year-on-year growth, with increases coming from a variety of sources such as Chinese takeaways and ham and pepperoni pizza. And a nine per cent growth in beef volumes has been helped by burger sales. Despite fish and chip shops having a bigger share of the market under lockdown, potato volumes fell due to the absence of big brands. However, June and July delivered a better performance for the potatoes sector, although not enough to offset those early losses.
Traditionally marking the start of the autumn breeding sales season, the 18th Shearwell Thame Summer Sheep Sale did not disappoint despite Covid-19 restrictions. A highlight for both buyers and sellers of breeding sheep, this year the sale was extended over three days to allow for social distancing, and only ewes, shearlings and ewe lambs were sold, with ram lambs and store lambs held back for a later sale from within Thame Market. Despite this, 18,985 head of breeding sheep were listed, and trade was quoted as dearer in all
sections, by at least £14.00 per head, with some breeds considerably up. “The sheep trade has been marvellous, with lots of shearlings sold,” says Thame Farmers Auction Mart auctioneer Simon Draper, who led the sales alongside colleague Thomas Hiorns and Greg MacDougall, who was drafted in from Bentham Mart to assist. “We implemented a number of procedures to ensure the public health of those in attendance. This included pre-registration, with limited numbers able to attend the 26-acre site. We removed the grandstand,
catering and office marquee, and provided hand sanitiser points throughout the site.” The procedures were put in place following close liaison with APHA, the Livestock Auctioneers Association (LAA) and Defra, along with the local trading standards office in order to obtain the Health & Safety licence. Chris Dodds, executive secretary of the LAA adds, “We were delighted that Thame Farmers Auction Mart was able to stage the event, despite the uncertainties and challenges the pandemic has brought.”
AHDB seeks outstanding individuals in the potato industry Nominations are now open for two prestigious awards recognising individuals who have made significant contributions to the UK potato industry. The Potato Industry Award is a lifetime achievement accolade, whilst the Above and Beyond Award recognises a person who has made a substantial contribution to the industry
within the last five years. Anyone working in the potato industry can be nominated. Interim chair of the AHDB Potatoes Sector Board, Alison Levett said: “This has been a very challenging year for potato growers. These awards recognise those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and made significant contributions to
our vital industry.” For more information on how to nominate someone, view the full story in the Business section of the Farmers Guide website or contact the award committee secretary via email: margaret. skinner@ahdb.org.uk or call 0131 297 7460. Deadline for nominations is 9th October 2020.
English Winter Fair 2020 cancelled amid Covid-19 uncertainty The 2020 English Winter Fair has been cancelled after the organising committee agreed that Covid-19 restrictions would negatively impact the experience of exhibitors and show-goers.
Part of the show’s attraction is its diversity with food, farming, shopping and socialising all featuring, and thousands of people were expected to pour through the gates of the Staffordshire Showground in November. But with uncertainty still hanging over the feasibility of large public gatherings, and farmers needing time to prepare world-class show cattle, pigs and
sheep, the Staffordshire and Birmingham Agricultural Society has taken the difficult decision to cancel for 2020. The Society’s chief executive, Richard Williams said: “It was a hard decision to make but I believe that, given the circumstances, it is the right one. “While it is disappointing to have to cancel, the show will return bigger and better in 2021.”

Start research for Green Home Grants Voucher Scheme now Farmers and rural estate owners hoping to secure grant support through the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme should look to obtain quotes from accredited tradespeople ahead of the scheme opening in September, according to land and property specialists Strutt & Parker. The £2bn scheme, which is designed to cut
energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, will assist homeowners, including landlords, by providing vouchers covering up to two-thirds of the cost of specified home improvements. “We expect there to be strong demand for this scheme and so it will be advisable to apply early,” said Nick Clayson, assistant land
agent in the Northallerton office of Strutt & Parker. “Homeowners and landlords wishing to take advantage should look to obtain quotes from accredited tradespeople prior to September. This will put them in the best position to access the funds early, and avoid missing out as accredited tradespeople become booked up.”
For years now AVR has been designing and selling its combination machine, which consists of a base chassis with a characteristic weight transfer system, to which different elements can be added. This way the machine can be used as a speed ridger, hoe-rake ridger or eco ridger. To meet the increase in scale in bio cultivation and the increasing demand for a complementary cultivation operation in conventional farming, AVR has introduced a foldable version to be able to remove weeds from even more ridges in one working passage, in a time- and costefficient manner, which will be available for use in 2021. According to the company, advantages include: extra wide working width for a time- and cost-efficient operation; ridging using large ridging discs; weed control on the ridge sides and/or reshaping the ridge is done from the bottom up, so the machine can be used when crops are already present; weeding on the ridge sides is possible using the hoe-rake ridger. The hydraulic weight transfer system makes sure the ridge is tightly formed at all times.

Potential broad-leaved weed resistance development Withdrawal of herbicide active ingredients is putting pressure on the remaining modes of action, warns ADAS weed specialist Dr Sarah Cook. Heather Briggs reports. One of the key problems in arable farming is that growers have fewer ag-chem options at their disposal, making chemical rotation more difficult so weeds are more regularly exposed to the limited number of herbicides. As a result, more weeds may be able to develop reduced sensitivity to certain chemicals. Dr Cook (below) explains: “For example, the residual pre-emergence herbicide trifluralin was withdrawn from the UK market about 10 years ago, and now we are seeing more weeds emerging, such as the umbellifers.” One of the biggest risks to broadleaved weed control is resistance to Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides, which have seen an increase in reported resistance cases. With ALS-tolerant crops available, there is now an opportunity to use these herbicides in most crops in the rotation. They are easy to use and highly effective, with wide application windows. They are very effective on ‘difficult to control’ weeds like charlock in Clearfield oilseed rape and weed beet in Conviso sugar beet. But care needs to be taken in thinking through weed control strategies in the rotation when ALS-
tolerant crops are used, to control volunteers. “It is important to make sure you use alternative modes of action,” says Dr Cook, adding that the Stewardship associated with Clearfield oilseed rape and Conviso sugar beet is very helpful with strategies.

in prickly sow thistle. “Some weeds have adapted to survive in modern farming, while others which were prevalent are now seen less than they were 20 years ago.” For example, couch grass, corn marigold, hairy tare and Venus looking glass are all less of a problem in cereal crops than they were at the end of the 1970s, and corn buttercups are now generally only seen in organic crops, she reveals. “On the other hand, speedwell has been successful this year and willow herbs, which are often more prevalent in horticultural crops, this season have been seen in open spring crops.“
Growers often attribute failure to control weeds to the timing or rate of application, when in fact it is resistance creeping in.
for use in the UK – gives useful control of a wide range of broadleaved weeds in cereals and oilseed rape, in addition to good control of ALS-resistant weeds such as poppy. “Increases in resistance can often be difficult to see, especially in cereals,” Dr Cook warns. “Growers often attribute the failure to control weeds to the timing or rate of application, when in fact it is resistance creeping in.” This is already happening with brome, and Dr Cook recently identified resistance to ALS inhibitors
Resistance risk matrix Predictions as to which weeds are likely to develop resistance are difficult, and there are no obvious links between resistance and weed family groupings. However, there are certain characteristics which may play a key role and, in 2009, ADAS developed a resistance risk matrix, bringing together the risks from the type of herbicide used with the biological features of the weed. Class of herbicide, mode of action, whether it is used

alone or in a mixture, and how many times it is applied in a season, all affect the potential to develop resistance – especially when one weed is targeted. Resistance risk is likely to be higher if a herbicide has a single site of action and, although multiple sites of action are likely to reduce resistance risk, if one of the targeted sites is of primary significance, resistance may develop there, she warns. Looking at the weed itself, many herbicide-resistant weeds produce a high number of seeds per plant, which increases the possibility of a resistant mutation spreading. Vigour of an individual weed species is also an important factor in determining its resistance risk, as the vast majority of the resistant weeds – such as black-grass – are highly vigorous, but also common chickweed, poppy, fat hen, Canadian fleabane and Amaranthus spp. Some such weeds are capable of germinating at different times, and producing multiple generations in one year. However, some of these resistant weeds may also show fitness penalties compared to nonresistant types, and competition may decrease seed return of the resistant types. continued over…

The effect of seed persistence is less clear, adds Dr Cook, noting that although resistant plants may be able to develop years later, the opportunity for germination while still viable may not occur.
Pollination and other factors Another important factor not often mentioned appears to be method of pollination. “Many resistant weed species are cross-pollinators – however, there are some species that are predominantly self-pollinators, but do show some cross-pollination such as common chickweed and Canadian fleabane.” Other potential factors include mobility, for example winddispersed seeds may have a higher risk than larger heavier seeds, but as yet little is known about this. “This may be of particular importance if resistant weeds are already growing in neighbouring fields, farms or habitats,” adds Dr Cook. “The repeated use of single products on the same weed species has raised the risk of resistance developing. “The biggest risks to broad-
BLACK-GRASS RESISTANCE AT A GLANCE
•
Target site resistance: This is caused by mutations in the proteins targeted by control chemicals. TSR often alters the way that the herbicide interacts with the target enzyme, making weeds insensitive to them. This can be offset by the rotational use of herbicides with differing modes of action.
•
Non-target site resistance (NTSR), also known as metabolic resistance: Resistance that is conferred by changes that allow the plants to avoid, modify, or detoxify the herbicide. NTSR changes how the herbicide is taken up, perceived, or processed in the plant and the one mechanism can confer resistance to different herbicides from different modes of action, extending, perhaps, to herbicides not yet even invented.
•
Reverse genetics: A process of discovering the function of a gene by determining what physical changes result when the gene sequence or expression of the gene is changed.
•
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS): A reverse genetic approach that uses a genetically modified (GM) virus to prevent protein production in the plant by degrading the plant’s mRNA through the RNA silencing pathway.

ACTIVE Rothamsted Research molecular specialist and lead researcher, Dr Dana MacGregor (right) to find out about her research on understanding more about the genetics of black-grass herbicide resistance. Herbicide resistance develops partly as a result of interactions between selection pressure and genetics. Some black-grass strains – such as Peldon – can detoxify herbicides before they can harm the plant, which not only challenges today’s chemical controls, but also those of the future. But which genes are responsible? Dr MacGregor says: “First we need to know which genes control the weed’s ability to resist herbicides. Essentially, we need the parts list and an understanding of what each component does. “With a tractor, for example, if you are unsure of what something does, – such as the steering wheel – when you remove it, you soon learn what function it served.” She adds that she has been following a similar approach. “If you silence a gene, and the plant loses its resistance, then you know that the gene was influencing resistance.” The techniques she has been using include virus-induced gene silencing. This relies on infecting plants with a barley stripe mosaic virus that carries a small piece of the plant gene of interest in its genome. When the weed fights the virus, it thinks the targeted gene is coming from the virus, and it fights it too. If the targeted gene was required for resistance, silencing it with this method means the plant can no longer survive the herbicide. “This helps us learn what is underpinning resistance at molecular level.” So far, the research is looking promising; experiments using the ACCase-resistant black-grass variety Peldon – which has increased activity of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST) – have been done, and lab results indicate viral treatment reduces expression of the GST, making Peldon more sensitive to herbicides, she reports. “Since GST genes are also necessary for the cereal crops to survive the post-emergence herbicides, and this virus would infect them too, we will not be introducing this virus into the field.”

The team also managed to make previously susceptible weeds resistant to the weed killer glufosinate by introducing a gene for an enzyme that renders the chemical inactive. “Our work has established a link between specific genes and the ability of blackgrass to circumvent chemical controls, and through this work we gain a molecular level understanding of what allows black-grass to be such a successful weed.”

However, there is no blueprint for a quick fix for cereal farmers, she warns. “What we have learned will help design crop protection products of the future that will be more effective against this yield-eating weed, because they take herbicide resistance mechanisms into account. “But, as product development and approval takes around 15 years, the effects of our work are still very much in the future.” This work was supported by the Smart Crop Protection Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council – part of UKRI.

Post-em herbicides to play an important role in 2020 OSR crops Farmers growing oilseed rape this autumn are expected to employ establishment strategies that minimise risk wherever possible. Tackling weed control up front by using pre-emergence has traditionally been an intrinsic part of autumn programmes, clearing the decks for the crop to emerge. But, in an environment that is proving more unpredictable for farmers – due mainly to the weather and pest pressures seen across England in recent years – a new mindset is developing. Demand for quality British rapeseed is unrelenting and the associated gross margins remain unrivalled, making it the break crop of choice for a huge number of farms. However, those who grow it want to employ an establishment strategy that puts less investment up front in the programme, allowing them to see how the crop is emerging before making their next important decision on inputs.
Drilling dates are being altered and pest management plans are being revisited, and the same can be said for herbicides, thanks to new chemistry brought to the market last year by Corteva Agriscience. Corteva describes Belkar as “a ground-breaking herbicide” for OSR crops. It contains Arylex Active – the same robust, reliable molecule formulated in the game-changing cereal herbicides Pixxaro and Zypar. Belkar also contains picloram – known to many arable farmers who use Galera. Corteva’s oilseed rape herbicide manager, John Sellars (left) said: “The crucial quality Belkar has is that it paves the way for growers to switch from higher risk preventative to reactive autumn weed control strategies. “Growers can wait until the crop is out of the ground – giving themselves time to assess the visible weed pressure, plus the impact of pests such as cabbage stem flea beetle and slugs.
“It has demonstrated excellent control of key weeds such as cleavers, cranesbill, poppy, shepherd’s purse and fumitory.” There are three treatment options which Corteva says will deliver the best results. From two to three leaves, an application at 0.25-litres/ha will take out the weeds which have germinated alongside the crop and, in some circumstances, that may be enough broad-leaved control before an application of Astrokerb (propyzamide + aminopyralid) or Kerb Flo 500 later on. In high weed pressure situations, crops can have a second dose at 0.25-litres/ha two to four weeks after the first. A third option to be used is to wait until six true leaves of the crop and all the weeds have emerged, and apply 0.5-litres/ha, which will take care of the weeds going into the autumn. The spray period for Belkar is from 1st September right up to the end of December, so plenty of spray day opportunities to control your broad-leaved weeds.
“
Belkar has demonstrated excellent control of key weeds such as cleavers, cranesbill, poppy, shepherd’s purse and fumitory. John said: “We know growers don’t like the upfront costs and high risks associated with oilseed rape establishment, yet most weed control is currently centred on investment in residual chemistries, to control weeds that may or may not germinate in crops which themselves may or may not establish well due to various pressures. “Belkar helps reduce and manage some of those risks, because it gives oilseed rape growers the option to switch from high risk autumn weed control strategies. In short, they can see the crop and assess its potential before deciding on how much to invest in their broad-leaved weed herbicides.” FG

Two new actives for autumn black-grass control Arable farmers have two new options to control black-grass in wheat this autumn. Bayer has launched Proclus based on the active aclonifen, as well as Octavian Met and Alternator Met containing metribuzin, flufenacet and diflufenican. The actives aclonifen and metribuzin may be familiar to farmers with potatoes in the rotation but are completely new for UK cereals. “Aclonifen has the potential to become a really important active for grass weed control,” says Bayer’s Ella Crawford (pictured). “This season, it will be sold as a single active product – Proclus – in a co-pack with Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) for farmers to tank-mix.” Longer term, Bayer aims to have a three-way co-formulation of aclonifen, flufenacet and diflufenican, which will be even easier to use. However, the company was keen to launch the new active this season so that growers and agronomists can start learning how to get the most out of it. “The plan is to have a co-form available next autumn, but we are still awaiting regulatory
approval,” says Ms Crawford. “In any case, the tank mix still provides a very useful improvement in control. In trials, we have seen a 10–15 per cent increase in total control of black-grass over straight Liberator, with less variability. There

is also a 5–10 per cent boost to brome and rye grass control.” Another important feature of aclonifen is that it is an entirely different mode of action to flufenacet and other common pre-em actives. Last year, Bayer reported the first cases of reduced flufenacet

sensitivity in black-grass and resistance in rye grass. Combining aclonifen with flufenacet is an important step in preventing the further development of resistance, according to Ms Crawford. Aclonifen is primarily absorbed through shoots of emerging seedlings rather than the roots. It has low soil mobility compared to flufenacet and, for optimum efficacy, should be applied uniformly to an even, friable seedbed to form a consistent film on the soil.
On average 10% increase in control
70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Bayer contracted trials x6 (2018/19 and 19/20) – Pre-em applications. Black-grass UTC plants counts averaged 65/m2
For arable farmers used to applying Liberator, there are a couple of things to watch out for. “Proclus is only approved for application at the true pre-emergence timing; it can’t be used later on when many farmers come back for a residual top-up, or as a partner for a post-emergence herbicide like Atlantis OD (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron).” The metribuzin-based products Alternator Met and Octavian Met have a wider usage window than aclonifen and are also approved in barley. Farmers can use these products pre- or post-emergence until the end of November, but they need to pay attention to the rates at different dates. Until 30th September they can use the full 1-litre/ha rate, then until the end of November the total dose that can be used is 0.5-litre/ha. “The flexibility and label requirements probably mean these products will be favoured in early drilled crops, as part of a pre-em tankmix stack or as an early post-emergence top up. Metribuzin is predominantly root-acting but there is some foliar uptake which is beneficial at the top up timing. It offers 5–10 per cent more black-grass control than the equivalent rate of Liberator, as well as providing additional control of broad leaved weeds,” Ms Crawford says. FG

Value in varietal resistance despite drought

The importance of winter wheat variety disease resilience was evident at Bayer’s virtual Long Sutton demo, with physiological yield-benefits from fungicides also likely. In the spring, picking Barrell and Extase apart wasn’t easy for site manager Darren Adkins (below) – despite the near four-point gap in septoria ratings. That was true of most untreated plots, apart from the odd bit of yellow rust in Gleam, Kinetic, Saki and Spotlight. But disease symptoms started to express themselves during the harvest run in and, by late June, differences in Barrel and Extase plots were clearly visible. “Despite rainfall levels being much lower than the average, unprotected Barrel plots had septoria in the upper canopy. There was also some disease in Extase, but it didn’t really spread to the key yield-generating leaves.”
Green and clean All fungicide-treated plots remained green regardless of septoria or yellow rust rating, but those with better septoria resistance were particularly clean.
That poses a question about the level of fungicide investment needed in low pressure situations. But Mr Adkins is wary of growers gambling too heavily. “Last season we saw Extase deliver yield responses of over 1t/ha. Until June we had seen little in the way of
“Untreated Extase plots carried some septoria, and brown rust established on the top two leaves. Again, I suspect we will see some greening benefit from the use of Aviator (prothioconazole + bixafen) and Ascra in the programme. Extase is an early maturing variety so prolonging green leaf area is useful.”

septoria, and although disease control was clearly a factor, I expect the physiological crop benefits of Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) played a part.” With yield data still to be verified, he is not sure how great any responses will be this season. But he does expect a benefit from fungicide programmes – even in Extase, which is expected to dominate wheat variety choices this autumn.
delivers. With the decline in curative fungicide activity, timing is more important than ever. Resilient varieties allow farmers to plan spray rosters by variety susceptibility, with some timing leeway if the weather is catchy. Another gain is the appropriate use of chemistry. “If genetics are limiting the speed of disease development in the leaf, it is maintaining the preventative phase. It is where we use fungicides
curatively that we put them under the highest pressure. What we have is genetics protecting the chemistry, and vice versa. “It also allows fungicides to be targeted by risk. With the dry weather from March to May we applied two fungicide programmes to compare fungicide inputs in a low septoria pressure situation, using different rates of Aviator and Ascra. “Both programmes began with a low dose of Savanna (tebuconazole) at the T0. The lower input programme followed with 0.8-litres/ ha Aviator + 1.0-litres/ha Folpet at the T1 and a T2 of 1.0-litres/ha Ascra + 1.0-litres/ha Folpet. With the higher input programme the rates of Aviator and Ascra were increased to 1.0- and 1.2-litres/ha respectively, the rate of Folpet remaining at 1.0-litres/ha.” Based on previous seasons, Mr Adkins anticipates the combination of disease control and physiological benefits will make positive responses likely. What will be interesting is any corresponding yield increase associated with the higher rates applied at the T1 and T2 timings. “We are undertaking a lot of research into improved disease diagnosis and more targeted use of fungicides. We might gain further insight through these Long Sutton trials.”

If genetics are limiting the speed of disease development in the leaf, it is maintaining the preventative phase. Top contenders Covid-19 may have stopped growers gauging winter wheat yield potential on the rich, fertile soils at Long Sutton for themselves, but host farmer David Hoyles of G H Hoyles Ltd (below) was happy to give Farmers Guide a snapshot of the varieties that impressed him. A consistent YEN top performer, his Wisbech alluvial Grade 1 silt makes 12t/ha+ possible with sufficient sunlight through grain fill. He favours earlier maturing, high-yielding varieties, but also looks for good septoria and fusarium resistance, with North Sea frets a common occurrence. Monitoring the plots throughout the season, KWS Parkin, LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate have all caught his eye. At 102 per cent
exceptionally green and, with LG Prince, was probably the pick of the untreated plots. KWS Extase looked ‘clean and even’ all season. “Theodore was a great colour throughout but with a specific weight of 73.8kg/hl KWS Extase and LG Astronomer probably have the edge,” he concludes.
Soil film aids potato weed control Mr Adkins’ colleague James Wilkins says 2020 highlighted the benefit of potato herbicide Emerger (aclonifen). He points to a challenging season for a number of residual herbicides after the drought prolonged the period of weed emergence. “Weed emergence was extended due to the gap between rain events. Although rainfall was well below what we would expect there was still the odd shower, and every time this occurred we saw some weeds coming through.” Emerger works by creating a film on the soil surface. As broadleaved or grass weeds emerge, the herbicide comes into contact with the shoot, and is translocated to the

He expects it to perform well in his fertile soils, but it is a little light against septoria, where LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate are both rated at 7. “Both LG Illuminate and LG Astronomer look like they have the potential for biscuit premiums. “I’d probably opt for Illuminate as it has better specific weight, and LG Astronomer is a tad on the tall side. LG Astronomer and LG Illuminate have exceptional disease profiles and both have the added bonus of OBM resistance.” RAGT Saki is also a contender for Mr Hoyles. Although yellow rust troubled it early on, once it cleared up it remained relatively diseasefree. It is another with biscuit premium potential. Outside those particularly suited to his soils, Theodore was

meristem growing point. “For the last three seasons at Long Sutton we’ve seen consistent control from Emerger and this has to be in part due to its action. It is less affected by environmental conditions than other residual herbicides.” That is evident in untreated plots and those using alternative herbicides. Plots treated preemergence with 0.5-litre/ha of metribuzin carried a higher black bindweed and knotgrass population last season. “We recommend Emerger is partnered with other actives and extensive commercial experience from Europe has shown robust weed control from a range of Emerger tank mixes. It will be the cornerstone of potato weed control for some time to come, but we must use it as recommended. Ideally it should be applied to a friable, level seed bed prior to crop and weed emergence,” he concludes. FG

Experiences point to yield improvements at harvest despite disease pressure As we head into harvest season across the country, current independent trial sites in the UK and commercial experiences are pointing towards healthy crops and yield returns, following applications of bio-stimulants from UK manufacturer AminoA. With independent crop trials currently underway across the UK, from Devon to Scotland over a variety of crops, an organic farmer in the north west of Germany is also reporting positive disease resistance, higher uptake of nutrients and more uniform crops in vegetable production. “Two of our wheat trials sites in Hampshire and Devon, using the same programmes with Skyfall wheat, are showing some consistent traits in ear counts,” explains AminoA managing director, Richard Phillips. “Both sites have been under severe disease pressure, with yellow rust in Hampshire and brown rust, yellow rust and septoria in Devon. Visually, there has been no significant difference between the disease
control achieved by AminoA with reduced fungicide and the full fungicide programme,” he adds. The full fungicide programme has suppressed tillering, with ear numbers less than the untreated control, most likely because of the stress caused by the very dry conditions. However, an early application of AminoA increased ear numbers, and the highest ear counts on both sites came from the AminoA with reduced fungicide programme. Experiencing similar weather conditions to the UK, organic farmer Tobias Klenke grows a variety of high-value vegetable and fruit crops in north west Germany, and has been using amino acid-based bio-stimulants for four years – seeing yield responses and healthy, more

Liquid nitrogen doubles OSR root length Independent ADAS trials have shown that a balanced autumn Bionature liquid fertiliser regime doubles OSR root length. Results from 2019 crops showed that Bionature’s Delta liquid nitrogen applied at the recommended rate, achieved 104 per cent increase in specific root length, when compared to the nontreated control. Bionature UK director Mark Carter explains that getting OSR established and away rapidly is important in counteracting various pests and diseases. “Early root development is key to rapid emergence and this is stimulated
by readily available nitrogen, so the plant can develop an efficient root system. “Autumn-applied Delta liquid fertiliser has a positive charge, which means it sticks to the soil, as well as penetrating it, leading to an increase in nitrogen use efficiency. It also means less nitrogen will be lost through leaching,” adds Mark. Bionature Delta fertiliser is a stabilised nitrogen fertiliser with potassium, for improved rooting, stress tolerance, crop quality and yield production. Delta is available in pack sizes of 20 litres or 1,000-litre IBCs, and is compatible with most other crop protection products on the market. FG

Why Avadex will suit this autumn Gowan Crop Protection Ltd’s UK and Ireland development manager Barrie Hunt is well aware that most arable farmers, after last year’s difficult planting conditions, will be wanting to plant as much wheat as they can this autumn – but he warns that early drilling brings a number of problems. “If you look at the germination pattern of black-grass, it normally peaks in mid-October, so the earlier you drill, the more weeds you will have to cope with within the crop. However, with a crop drilled on 15th October, you can deal with much of the black-grass through an application of glyphosate. By bringing the drilling date forward, the amount of black-grass that

stack applied pre-emergence. Early drilling can also mean dry seed beds – not ideal for many residual herbicides,” he says. “Growers need to weigh up their options, and the best approach may be to avoid drilling in September. However, you need to be prepared. If you are going early, your pre-ems need to perform well and for a long time, to make sure weeds are

controlled. Tri-allate – the active ingredient in Avadex products – has physical chemical characteristics
which mean it has a greater tolerance of dry seed beds than some other autumn herbicides such as pendimethalin, prosulfocarb or flufenacet. Of the Avadex products, Avadex Excel 15G is better suited to drier early-season use, and growers should aim to apply it within 48 hours of drilling. If it is bone dry and nothing is growing, there is no rush; you can wait for the rain to allow the black-grass to germinate. Avadex Factor fits better on later drilled crops in October/November, when there are better pre-em conditions and good seed beds and moisture,” he advises. Avadex also has good staying power, as indicated by its half-life in soil. Tri-allate’s half-life in soil is around 3 months compared with the half-life in soil of flufenacet, which is 20 days and prosulfocarb, which is just 12 days. This means tri-allate has good longevity, which will be needed in the autumn – especially if drilling earlier.
Although the focus is so often on black-grass, do not forget the excellent wild oat control that Avadex brings as well as useful activity against rye grass and brome species. Recent work by Agherba in Bristol shows that Avadex will control these grass weeds well if conditions are optimal. It also brings a very useful contributory control of some key broad-leaved weeds including cleavers, charlock and chicweed. “It is good product stewardship that, before drilling, growers ensure that their granule applicator is calibrated correctly to apply 15kg/ha and that the granules are applied evenly across the boom width. The correct amount of herbicide granule must be delivered down each pipe and Barrie recommends that a patternation test is carried out along with the calibration. “Blackgrass is such a competitive weed, that accurate and even application is essential,” he concludes.

Arable Elgar OSR one week before harvest.
Focus on net margins and don’t make OSR yield a vanity project Bringing oilseed rape back into his rotation has proved both a sound agronomic and business decision for Brockley-based Adam Driver, of Driver Farms. Mr Driver, who does all his own agronomy and farms 1,200ha of arable cropping on Hanslope series clay soils (including 450ha of spring cropping to help with black-grass control), had decided to drop OSR in 2016, allowing himself time to re-evaluate the crop and to make significant changes to the way it had been managed previously. “We do a lot of contract farming, so our aim is to deliver good profit margins for both ourselves and our customers. The new approach to oilseed rape is simple enough. We drill early using a new one-pass direct drilling system that uses just 4-litres/ha of fuel to keep establishment costs down. We avoid growing expensive hybrid varieties that generally come with higher seed and input costs, and we carefully control inputs through the season to ensure the net margin is still there following harvest. It’s easy to lose your discipline chasing yield and, whilst we know that rape can be very good for black-grass control, profitability still has to be at the heart of everything we do,” he says. During 3rd–5th August last year, 180ha of winter oilseed rape was direct drilled with a companion crop of buckwheat and berseem clover, using a Horsch Avatar drill the farm shares with a neighbouring farm.
“
another boost. Drilling early in August gave the crop a headstart, and the larger plants were able to cope better with CSFB and the occasional unwanted frost. Too many growers drill rape too late, putting the crop under pressure, then simply blame CSFB for yield loss when the reality was more likely poor establishment and the crop struggling to get away in cold and wet conditions,” he adds. One of the critical factors in Mr Driver’s successful return to OSR was the decision to remain faithful to conventional varieties – not only to keep seed costs in check, but also to allow the use of farm-saved seed the following year. “Having been away from OSR since 2016, I talked to several local successful growers and the one variety that consistently came up in conversation was Elgar. It’s widely grown in the east, a proven performer, and combines good early vigour with excellent all-round disease control. The variety’s early maturity and good standing power enabled me to avoid applying a plant growth regulator (PGR) and to keep a firm hold on other input costs,” he continues. For the other conventional variety, Adam selected Aspire – a newer variety on the Recommended List – on the basis of some promising yield and agronomic scores. Both
It’s easy to lose your discipline chasing yield and, whilst we know that rape can be very good for black-grass control, profitability still has to be at the heart of everything we do. “We can drill over 100ha per day, and that’s key to timely establishment – making the most of available moisture. Direct drilling conserves moisture unlike more expensive tillage systems. “The use of the companion crop improved weed control and soil health. When the berseem clover died off, it also released around 20kg/ha of nitrogen back into the soil, giving the rape
crops received the same inputs and timings so a decent comparison could be made as the season progressed. “Both established okay, although the Elgar was more vigorous, pushing on well through late autumn and winter despite the very wet weather. After applying 20kg/ha of nitrogen at drilling, the following spring we followed up with two

more splits of nitrogen at 80kg/ha with some ammonium sulphate. On fungicides, we sprayed once in mid-November for phoma and light-leaf spot, and sprayed once for control of sclerotinia in April. Although this enabled me to keep the overall fungicide input costs to just £25/ha, it’s questionable whether either of the sprays were even needed so I may be able to drop them in the future,” he adds. Due to a wet winter, a few frosts and the May–June 2020 dry spell, Mr Driver estimates that both OSR crops lost around 25–30 per cent of their expected yield. However, overall the season went reasonably well, with very few other disease problems, and the rain in late June arrived just in time. “It’s been a difficult growing season for oilseed rape but, on balance, the move back to the crop has been an overall success. We’ve been very disciplined on the inputs (applying no insecticides or PGRs) and the successful use of a cover crop is certainly something we will repeat for future OSR establishment. “Of the two varieties, although Aspire also harvested well, Elgar performed best for us and we will be drilling it again. It flowered earlier, was more forward, and the best fields delivered 3.7t/ha at harvest with an overall average of 3.3t/ ha, providing the net margin we were looking for,” he concludes.

Arable weight of 69.1, combined with good grain screening percentage, similar to KWS Glacier – an important feature in a two-row winter barley.
Consistent delivery
Ascending yields for two-row barley varieties Early harvest information from the AHDB Harvest Results Report from 10 trials sites across the UK is showing that two-row feed winter barleys are producing yields in 2020 comparable with the best hybrids and conventional six-row varieties. In the early August report, LG Mountain led at 106, with KWS Creswell (North region) at 103, and KWS Tower at 102. LG Mountain has yielded as much as the best sixrow feed varieties in the trials to date. This has been a challenging season, with wet and dry weather extremes putting varieties under a severe test, and some have struggled in the conditions. However, LG Mountain continues to yield consistently – even at some of the more challenging sites in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. “This consistency of performance is reflected in LG Mountain’s leading position in the five-year average 70625
values (2016–2020) at 104. This is a really important attribute in a variety, as growers know that, whatever the season throws at them, it is able to cope,” says Ron Granger, arable technical manager for breeder Limagrain UK (left). “Over this time, LG Mountain has also demonstrated its ability to produce high yields on both light and heavy soils, showing its flexibility within the rotation. “This excellent yield resilience can be attributed to the variety’s good agronomic characteristics of short straw, good disease resistance including BaYMV resistance, and early maturity (-1).” It has good grain quality attributes with a very good specific
CURTAIN VENTILATION TO GIVE YOU TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR BUILDING
If you are looking for a high-yielding, early-maturing winter barley variety that has good quality straw and stands with a good specific weight, look no further than LG Mountain, says Openfield’s head of seeds business, Lee Bennett (right). “LG Mountain is the highest yielding two-row feed barley available for planting this autumn. It pushes any other variety for yield, delivering consistently over seasons and regions,” he says. “Its yields in the north and east are particularly impressive, across soil types. “LG Mountain is early to mature, and the value of this has already played out this year as, with less oilseed rape in the ground to harvest, it has been possible to get combines rolling into the barley pretty early.”
Agronomy approach Agronomy work carried out by
Limagrain, looking at ‘seed rate vs PGR vs fungicide performance’, confirms that there is little difference in yield when LG Mountain is sown at seed rates of 300 seeds/m2 or 400 seeds/m2 – yielding around 11.5t/ha in each scenario. “LG Mountain is a shorter variety, and our trials data suggests that yield potential can be compromised if high rate PGR programmes are used, compared to the taller strawed varieties,” says Ron. “We still recommend that a good PGR programme is used to ensure straw strength and reduce brackling, and especially in a high yield situation such as on heavier, fertile soil types. The variety responds very well to both low and high input fungicide programmes, and again, programmes should be targeted regarding the situation in hand. “LG Mountain is certainly demonstrating itself to be a very reliable variety with regards to consistency of performance – a desirable attribute for any grower considering our recent seasonal, variable erratic weather patterns,” he concludes. FG
LG MOUNTAIN IN SUMMARY:
•
The highest yielding two-row winter barley in AHDB Harvest Results (August 2020), challenging the yields of the best hybrids and six-row varieties.
•
This performance is consistent over years and regions – a valuable characteristic with current uncertain weather conditions.
•
Can be sown at a lower seed rate of 300 seeds/m2 with little impact on yields on both heavy and light soil types.
•
Does not need a high rate PGR programme; a basic programme will ensure the variety does not brackle particularly in heavier fertile soils.

More diverse cropping brings benefits Cover cropping and rotational changes are delivering significant soil health benefits faster than expected on heavy Northamptonshire soils. Agrovista’s flagship trials site, Project Lamport, was set up in 2013 to investigate cultural control methods to help overcome severe blackgrass infestations, while delivering profitable combinable crops. More diverse cropping, particularly black oats-based cover crops followed by spring cereals, has been key in driving down blackgrass populations. It has also become clear that the cover crop/spring cereal sequence is delivering significant improvements in soil structure, drainage and biology, says Agrovista’s head of soil health, Chris Martin (right). “With cover crops, we are trying to maximise the use of our most valuable resource, sunlight, converting it into roots that naturally restructure the ground and feed the soil biology. Project Lamport has been really successful at controlling black-grass. Now, it is becoming a really useful bridge between soil health theory
and what is practically achievable on farm.”
Significant improvements Black oats-based cover crops sown after harvest can provide significant soil health improvements in just a few months, according to research by PhD candidate David Purdy. David, who is also John Deere’s East Anglia territory manager, says: “Soil after cover crops was nicely aggregated with a more friable structure, creating an excellent environment for rooting and soil biology.
“
Cover crops dominated by black oats appear to be particularly good at increasing earthworm numbers. These rose by 50 per cent on average in one trial and 100 per cent in another. “Worms are a key indicator and enhancer of soil biology, so the result demonstrates how much this has increased in a very short time,” says Mr Purdy. “The mean yield increase for spring wheat following a cover crop was 0.5t/ha compared with the overwintered fallow.” There was a very significant relationship between the amount of cover crop, expressed as normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI), and spring wheat yield. There was also a very strong

correlation between higher spring wheat ground cover and lower penetrometer resistance readings, especially at 7.5–10cm.
The no-plough reset resulted in fantastic black-grass control and an excellent crop of spring oats.
“
Soil after fallow was blocky, difficult to break and had very little biological activity, as indicated by low worm counts. “This is pivotal,” reckons Mr Purdy. “It suggests sorting out soils to 10cm will suffice for spring cropping. If you can get a good cover crop going, the roots will do the rest.”
Minimising metal Independent cultivations expert Philip Wright is investigating how much soil loosening is required to help optimise the restructuring effect of cover crops on Project Lamport’s silty clays. “The combined effects of roots and metal have been very real on this heavy-land site, especially in the early years of cover cropping,” says Mr Wright. “But we believe we can reduce the amount of metal, using just enough to help cover crops do their job.”

Trials on a heavily compacted area compared direct-drilled spring wheat after overwintered fallow or after black oat and phacelia cover crops broadcast at 15kg/ha on 11th September, with and without soil loosening. The cover crops were sprayed off in early February, and the spring wheat was sown on 26th March. Low-disturbance subsoiling at 20cm and cover cropping produced the best result. “This soil is much easier to break apart and the pores and channels are obvious,” says Mr Wright. “The operation lifted and stretched the soil sufficiently for the cover crop to bang down its roots. The spring wheat has exploited this and grown to depth, and we think this will feed through to yield.”

Additional work shows shallow (10–12cm) low-disturbance loosening can be used to very good effect in an established cover crop, potentially very useful where only parts of fields need treating. “Rather than delay, you get the cover crop in as soon as possible so it can start doing its job,” says Mr Wright. “Once roots hit significant compaction the crop will start to struggle, clearly showing where remedial action is needed.”

However, our latest research suggests the Lamport cover crop/spring crop sequence is a better choice.” The trial followed a disastrous winter wheat crop with over 800 blackgrass heads/ m2. The area was straw-raked and ultra-shallow disced on 5th September then combi-drilled with 15kg/ ha of Agrovista’s Sprinter Pro black oats and phacelia cover crop mix. The cover, plus emerged blackgrass, was sprayed off and spring oats were direct drilled on 27th March with a no-till Weaving GD drill at 350 seeds/m2. “We established an excellent crop of spring oats and achieved fantastic black-grass control,” says Mr Hemmant. “We trapped young black-grass plants successfully in the cover crop, and the cover crop root remnants minimised soil disturbance when the oats were drilled. “We turned around a really bad situation, without risking pulling up more black-grass seed than was being buried, and without undoing all the good we have done from a soil health point of view.” FG

forward to gaining access to industry-leading experts to stay abreast of policy developments such as the start of the new Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes. “Soil health is another area I’m interested to learn more about, and I’d like to explore the financial feasibility of planting more woodland.” Andy explains he would also like to know more about the wildlife on the estate, to identify which area to focus on and develop a long-term plan to incorporate this into its farming practices.
Getting stuck in
A collaboration between Corteva Agriscience and LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) is taking four farms on a three-year journey to make them fitter for the future. We spoke to one of the farmers involved. The Resilient & Ready programme promises to combine the best technical insight and commercial application to develop the selected farmers’ leadership and management skills. Learnings from the programme will be shared across the farming industry as they happen, with Corteva and LEAF determined to drive change and continual improvement across the UK. The chosen farms – two in England and two in Scotland – are eight months into the programme, and are already finding out more about their soils, productivity and wildlife, while also planning changes for the planting season ahead.

He says: “I’ve worked here for 30 years, with the past 10 years as farm manager – it’s fair to say I’ve seen a lot of change. “Future-proofing the business was one of the key motivators for getting involved.” The Sparsholt College graduate explains that the estate has 600ha put to arable cropping which has been min-till cultivated over the past two decades. Soils are predominantly light chalk soils, but with clay caps. Andy uses variable rate technology for fertiliser, nitrogen and seed with parts of the farm set aside for trials to test new techniques in crop management. Elsewhere, there is 70ha of woodland, a small sheep flock and a pig herd. He has also begun planting trees, creating wildflower strips, trying out new crops and widening his oilseed rape rotation. The farm is
also looking to reduce the usage of nitrogen fertiliser, so fertility-building cover crops have been introduced. As a former AHDB Monitor Farm and LEAF Open Farm Sunday host, Andy is also keen on communication and passionate about sharing his journey with others in industry. “I really enjoy the interaction with farmers and the public and that’s part of the reason why I applied for the Resilient & Ready programme – to grow that engagement. “There is a lot of uncertainty around farming but I’m an optimistic person and view this as an exciting time. We need to look towards becoming more resilient while embracing the opportunities and challenges the future of farming brings, and be open to sharing this knowledge.”
Journey objectives
The programme kicked off with an initial meeting for the four participating farms earlier this year but, as lockdown restrictions came into play, physical meetings have been replaced by virtual Zoom calls. So far, the farmers have participated in highlevel training courses relating to Integrated Farm Management (IFM) and ‘Speak Out’ communications training, as well as welcoming experts on to the farm for soil and water testing, biodiversity trials and sustainability consultancy. The two English farms are participating in ELMs trials. Corteva is also working with the farmers to conduct trials of innovative pipeline products including biologicals and biostimulants to assess performance at a field scale.
Soil health and sustainability Andy says: “As part of the monitoring on farm, we’ve begun to look at what data we can collect around sustainability and soil health. “It’s an area I’m really keen to move forward on, as we’ve done years and years of soil testing but we haven’t always known what to do with the results. “Our soils are predominantly light chalk with clay caps. We’ve been looking at the Healthy Soils analysis with Sustainable Soil Management, which has given us a greater insight into the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. “Getting access to this and working alongside experts has helped us to challenge what we thought we knew, and tailor our actions to reflect this new knowledge. We now fully understand the value of a prescriptive versus a blanket mix,
Andy reckons an integrated approach to farm management is one of the key things he hopes to get out of the Andy Bason drilling. programme, and explains that he wants to manage the land, rather than simply farming it. The farm has a mid-tier environment scheme running to 2022, and Andy sees the Resilient & Ready programme as an opportunity to key into important changes in this area. “I’m particularly interested in seeing how we can combine the environmental management with farming and make this stack up financially. I’m looking

and look forward to making further headway by beginning to look at carbon in soil and developing cover cropping practices.” The farm has also undertaken a biodiversity survey to investigate what species are present and what can be done to support this going forwards. Measuring and monitoring is done using the LEAF Sustainable Farming Review and guidance is given by sustainability consultant Andy Guy, from an IFM point of view.
Future plans In terms of future measurement, a LEAF Sustainable Farming Review will be conducted every year, as well as regular soil and water testing. Other areas such as AHDB benchmarking and knowledge exchange will also be considered.
Andy comments: “I’m looking forward to what the rest of the programme has in store.” He is interested in planting woodland and looking into potential grants for agroforestry to enhance the environment. He is also keen to explore ways to quantify the sustainability benefits his farm can deliver, in line with what the future of government policy may hold. Eventually, the farmers will go on to become LEAF Demonstration Farms and industry leaders in sustainable farming.
“That’s why we decided to put this programme together and recruit farmers who are at the very beginning of this journey – we felt this is where we could deliver the most value.” Simon explains that the programme is based on translating technical insight and training opportunities into commercial applications. Furthermore, it’s about sharing insights from the selected farms to provide valuable information to the rest of industry. “We want to follow farmers through the process so others can see what hurdles there are to come, how much it costs, and the economic implications of implementing new sustainability measures.” He explains the programme is also mindful of the political environment, and wants to use the scheme to see what farmers can do to embrace policy changes and future environmental schemes to understand what impact this may have upon how their farm businesses currently operate.

The programme Simon Parker, marketing manager at Corteva, says: “Between LEAF and Corteva, we have a good understanding of what it takes to maintain a sustainable farming system.

New 4-Rotor Rake with hybrid technology
Imported tarpaulin proves its worth As harvest progresses, PFC Agri Solutions says its Performa series tarpaulin, imported from Inland Tarp for many years, has time and time again proved its ability to withstand the elements, due to the rigorous quality control during production. The tarpaulins are available for all bale types – round and conventional stacks utilise underropes or webbing, while steel ‘J-Hooks’ are used to anchor into the twine on large square bales, then utilising the ‘SuperCinch’ 200kg of force, which anchors the tarpaulin to the stack. Being able to secure the tarpaulin massively improves lifespan. It is made by bonding three layers together, with a white
outer side to reflect heat. The outer layer features a special 7–8-year UV protection layer, and provides years of reliable service. PFC has also recently been appointed to represent Danish manufacturer Elkaer Maskiner in the UK and ROI. The Elkaer range is built to tackle the tough stuff – be that a small reciprocating bar mounted to a Stiga-style lawnmower, or a 3.8m fivedisc cutting head, mounted to either a fore end loader or rear linkage tool carrier, capable of supporting a 2.5m heavy duty flail style mulcher. The company has recently changed its name from PFC Forage Solutions to PFC Agri Solutions, to reflect its new product lines. FG

The degree of weight alleviation adjusts automatically depending on the working width. This means that not only is the sward protected, but less pressure is exerted on the rotor unit. With its maximum working width of 14m, the TOP 1403 C can rake large areas in next to no time. The hydraulically adjustable working width of 9–14m provides the flexibility you need to rake smaller areas with great precision, too. FG

Arable farmer says safety app is a must-have Eric Wright has in excess of 20 staff using the app during harvest and says it has helped him keep his expanding team safe.
Melton Mowbray farmer Eric Wright explains how the Smart Farmer app offered his farm a simple way to improve worker safety. We also caught up with the app’s creator, Marc Skivington, to find out about the range of updates on the way. Farmer Eric Wright says keeping workers safe has become a growing challenge and priority for his arable business, Wright’s Agriculture, over the years, as his team has grown. After exploring the available apps for completing safety checks on machinery and equipment, he chose Smart Farmer because of its QR code scanner and the ability to customise checks. The QR code scanner allows operators to scan the sticker on a
piece of equipment and instantly pull up the checklist rather than trawl through a long list of options. Meanwhile, Eric has been able to reduce the number of checks on one machine from 51 to 10, to focus on key safety elements and ensure staff can complete the checks quickly. In just a short time, the app has helped the farm to identify a number of faults that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. Asked if he would recommend
it to other farmers he says: “Completely. It costs less than a moisture meter for measuring grain and it can keep a small team or a massive team safe, so it’s completely scalable and priced appropriately.” Smart Farmer was voted the second must-have safety app by farmers during Farm Safety Week in July and was recently nominated for two awards. Its creator Marc Skivington says a range of new updates will arrive in the coming weeks, but the app will remain at its current price. New additions include the launch of risk assessments and training documents. If an operator has not been trained to use a piece of kit a training document will appear, followed by a multiple-
choice questionnaire. Other new features include a GPS locator for lone worker safety, and ping notifications when operators come within 10m of a hazard, such as overhead power cables. The app highlights the status of equipment using a simple traffic light system. It already covers unlimited users and machinery, can record and print service reports and daily usage of machinery, as well as notifying users when a service is due. It is also possible to take and upload photos of any issues. As a cloud-based service, data is shared with everyone on the farm, so that all team members know the status and condition of the equipment. Importantly, any data gathered belongs to the farmer, not Smart Farmer, so it will not be shared. FG

High output, lower losses and less fuel A new flagship to John Deere’s combine line-up was announced at Agritechnica last year, but specification and design details remained secret. This harvest, a very small number of preseries X9 machines have been working in the UK and David Williams took the opportunity to see one at work. There are two new X9 models, including the X9.1000 and the X9.1100, both designed to extend harvesting capacity above the current levels of John Deere’s S-series machines. The current S790 flagship remains in the range and uses an engine developing similar power output to the new X9.1000, but the manufacturer stresses that the X9’s performance is not about raw horsepower, but the efficiency of the whole system and the way the power is used.
High output, low losses Apart from the track units, which are borrowed from the latest S-series models, everything about the X9 is new. Essentially, the biggest change is to twin-rotors from the S-series’ single rotor, which brings the John Deere flagship into line with its main competitors. But John Deere is so confident of the new combine’s performance that it has offered a £25,000 prize for any machine which can out-perform it in the field, even though the X9’s engine produces approximately 90hp less than its closest competitors.
barley, spring barley, oilseed rape, spring beans, sugar beet and vining peas. “We have taken on extra land and need additional harvesting capacity,” explained owner James Caley. “Our S690 combines are earlier models and we considered upgrading to the latest S790. However, although the demonstration machine was more productive, it didn’t provide the extra capacity needed, so we considered other brands. We didn’t want to move away from John Deere or our local main dealer Doubleday which is excellent, so we have been impatient for John Deere’s X9 to arrive as we believe it will provide the output we require. We have been testing an X9.1100 this season and are all amazed by its performance.”
High performing headers New headers developed to complement the X9 are expected to be specified for all UK-supplied machines. HD-series Hinged Draper headers are available in working widths from 10.7m (35ft) up to 15.2m (50ft). The headers are in three sections,
UK test user Norfolk-based Caley Farms runs four S690s and has been consulted during the X9’s development, from viewing early prototypes operating in Denmark three years ago, to running a disguised pre-production X9 on its own farm last year. Most of the cropping is on contract-farmed land within 25 miles of its St Germans, Kings Lynn base, and crops include winter wheat, winter
To cope with high working speeds, a new knife design is used. The Crop Saver belt ensures the crop is propelled firmly to the centre, and ridges prevent seeds from rolling down the belt and being lost.
A very small number of pre-series X9s are working in the UK this year and all have purpose-designed HDX-series headers. John Deere’s HDX Hinged Draper headers can flex up to 10 degrees, allowing up to 2.62m of vertical movement at the wing ends.
including the central area which moves independently of the mounting frame while the two outer sections can flex up to 10 degrees for accurate ground contour following. With the attachment frame, up to 2.62m of vertical movement is available at the wing ends of the HD40X 40ft version, and the sections flex to positive and negative angles. Hydraulic header angle adjustment allows the header to be tilted forward for more aggressive pick-up of laid or difficult crops. A short full-width skid at the front underside of the header is formed of nylon pads. Being short avoids bulldozing in wet conditions and improves header response to small differences in terrain. Four ground following wheels support the header at the rear. Ground running pressure is adjusted hydraulically from the cab by pressurising hydraulic accumulators on each side. The reel is in two sections with a central support and driven from the centre to each side. The knife is also in two sections with a central overlap. To cope with high working speeds, continued over…

the knife travels much faster than on conventional headers, and has four inches of travel. Blade sections consist of blades mounted in pairs, producing a double cut in each direction. Crop is delivered to the centre by 1,200mm Grain Saver belts with a patented ridge pattern which ensures effective crop feeding, and also traps seeds such as oilseed rape which could otherwise roll down and out of the front of the header. At the rear of the table there is a crop feed auger with fingers to improve performance in bushy crops by pushing the crop down onto the conveyor and ensure headfirst feeding to the crop elevator. “We usually suggest the improved feeding from Draper headers adds 10 per cent to the combine’s performance,” said John Deere harvesting sales territory manager Mike Baker. “The X9 needs this sort of header to make the most of its potential, and for any farmers who weren’t convinced of the benefits previously, I believe when they have seen this at work they will definitely specify it.” All HDX headers come with a quick attaching system, making it easy to fit and remove dividers or a side knife in just a few minutes.
Threshing and separation At 1,720mm wide, the crop feeder housing is 23 per cent wider than that of the S690, and with a redesigned front drum and mid floor it has resulted in a 45 per cent increased capacity. The crop emerges heads first from the feeder house with stalks aligned, into an eight-wing chevron accelerator which splits the crop evenly into two streams – one for each rotor. The crop enters each rotor at three locations for an even feed, through 270-degree feeding vanes. The threshing area is 1.6m2 but the crop passes through the concave 2.5 times, resulting in an effective working area of 4.0m2. This ensures efficient threshing without the concave having to be tightly set, resulting in improved grain and straw quality, and power and fuel savings. The front concave section has tight spaced wires to achieve most of the separation, then there are wider spaced wires at the rear. Adjustment of the concave gap is hydraulic, allowing ‘give’ if needed but maintaining constant operating pressure. The rotors are 610mm (24in) diameter – just 228mm (7in) less than the S790’s single rotor, but 400mm (15in) longer. They take up the full internal width of the machine and deposit separated material onto a fullwidth, six-section cleaning shoe.
The actual separator is 3.15m2, but the crop travels around it seven times, resulting in an effective separation area of 22.05m2, plus a further separator grate under the rear beater of 0.45m2 giving a total threshing and separation area of 25.5m2, and the large diameter rotors produce powerful centrifugal forces for grain separation without aggressive action which could compromise grain and straw quality.
Cleaning The cleaning shoe has a massive 7m2 working area. Seventy per cent of the separation is achieved in the front section, with the straw mat shaken by four high pressure quad turbine fans. Six channels on both levels of the cleaning shoe ensure that even on cross slopes there is no opportunity for separated grain to migrate to the lower side of the machine. “A large, well-balanced cleaning shoe, the full width of the combine and with extra working length is the best solution for cross slopes, and doesn’t need over-complicated technology to compensate,” suggested Mike Baker. The sieve angle and fan speeds automatically adjust for travel up and down slopes based on crop type and working conditions. For crops such as oilseed rape which are susceptible to high losses if high fan speeds are used, the system automatically selects chaffer and sieve adjustment first, before altering the fan. John Deere claims the Active Terrain Adjustment system increases cleaning system performance by up to 50 per cent on inclines up to 16 degrees. For downhill slopes, the chaffer and sieve close while the fan speed increases to keep grain from pushing forward and blocking the sieves. Tailings are reduced by up to 50 per cent and an improved grain sample is achieved. Returns are delivered to a separate miniature threshing system with smooth rubber threshing elements to minimise damage. Dealing with returns separately reduces the working load on the main rotors and allows the concaves to be operated in a more open position, reducing the power requirement and fuel use.
augers switch off for three seconds before the main auger so that it empties before folding. Unloading auger options include 8.3, 8.7 and 9.3m lengths, and all have a variable discharge boot to adjust the grain drop position.
Fuel efficient chopping New XL low-energy chopper knives with a golf ball pitted surface minimise air resistance and reduce chopper power requirement by up to 27hp. Drive to the chopper and spreader is mechanical so operating speeds are fixed, but the feed angle and spreading vanes are adjusted to achieve the required spread width and prioritise spreading to the left or right. Caley Farms combine operator Adam Melton commented that the spreading system is so efficient that he has only to select 70 per cent of maximum spread performance for barley and 80 per cent for wheat, to match the 40ft table.
The straw chopper features new knives which save up to 27hp. Full width spreading to match the 40ft header is achieved without requiring maximum power.
advantage of the new engine is its impressive torque and although engine power increases by 87hp from 1,700–1,900rpm, there is up to 3,000Nm of torque available when the revs are pulled back to 1,500rpm. This means X9 users can constantly push for higher output without fear of the engine dying, while running at lower revs also improves fuel efficiency. The large cooling pack is vertically mounted with an automatic reversing fan to prevent debris build up and keep the engine bay clean. An airline connector is provided for routine cleaning, but Adam said that so far this harvest there has been no need to clean the engine bay at all as, even in dry, dusty conditions, it remains totally free of any accumulation.
Transmission and tracks The track units are similar to those of the latest S-series and driven by a new ProDrive XL transmission, which uses two motors to provide 30 per cent more power at low speeds than the standard ProDrive, while at speeds above 20kph one motor disengages – improving working efficiency by up to 30 per cent. Stepless control from 0–40kph is standard. The front differential can be locked and 4wd is an option. Large rear tyres and wheels provide a long footprint, but a wasted chassis allows a tight steering angle, so the new X9 boasts manoeuvrability just as good as the smaller S-series in spite of its longer wheelbase.
Fuel efficient engine
Best cab ever
A brand-new John Deere 13.6-litre, 6-cylinder engine producing 690hp powers the 1100 model. This replaces the previous 13.5-litre power unit used in the S700-series, and it achieves almost 30 per cent improved fuel efficiency. However, the biggest

100 seconds/13t To keep up with the 100t+/hr grain harvesting capability, the grain tank and unloading auger are similarly impressive. Tank capacity of the X9.1000 is 14,800 litres and the X9.1100 holds 16,200 litres. The unloading auger is fed by twin fullwidth tank augers and empties the grain tank at up to 186 litres/second, with an additional 53hp produced by the engine when the unloading auger is engaged.

beneath the passenger seat. The cab door closes electrically, and the operator has only to pull it until it touches the latch, then it closes gently but firmly to maintain an effective air seal. The main CommandPro joystick is new, with a design inspired by computer gaming systems and with customisable buttons. General performance information is displayed on a small screen on the right-hand cab pillar and harvesting settings and performance data are on the larger 4600 display on the CommandArm. GPS guidance is also through this terminal, however a second Extended Monitor is available to double up on available run pages. Operator aids include Combine Advisor which uses cameras in the clean grain and returns elevators to measure grain quality and foreign material and make real-time automatic adjustments to maintain pre-set levels. The operator simply selects an acceptable standard and saves it as a reference, then the system strives to achieve equal or better results, according to priorities set by the operator from maximum broken grains to grain losses and output. Combine Advisor is linked to HarvestSmart which controls the combine’s harvesting speed and if the required standards can’t be delivered then speed is reduced, but if the standards are achieved then the operating speed is increased up to the maximum set, until quality limits are exceeded.
took 3 hours and 10 minutes to cut including the headlands, and despite all three combines starting and finishing together, the X9 harvested 17.88ha of it. We just can’t believe how fast crop can be fed in, especially with the amount of green straw and secondary tillering this year, and even in these less than optimal conditions we achieve typical working speeds exceeding 8.5kph. “We set a maximum of 0.75 per cent allowable losses in cereals, but it’s actually averaging approximately 0.4 per cent while achieving spot rates in wheats from 89–116t/hr, and that is when we are cutting the stubble short and chopping.”
Fuel savings Asked how the X9.1100’s fuel consumption compares with the S690s, James Caley said it is lower. “We measure fuel use and compared to our S690s, the X9 uses slightly more fuel per hour, but considerably less per hectare harvested due to its much higher
Genuine advantages “The X9 offers significant performance advantages,” said John Deere harvesting division sales manager Edward Stephenson. “We are looking forward to getting it into the hands of customers as it is a real game changer in the industry. There has been interest from potential users throughout the UK and we believe that the limited number of machines available for next year will be in high demand.”
work rate. It’s an amazing machine.”
Driving technique Operator Adam Melton explained that the X9 is a totally different driving concept to conventional rotary combines. “It’s more like a forage harvester in that it needs to be kept well loaded to achieve best results. The new engine is amazing and even though it’s only 70hp more than our S690s its capacity for work is incredible. Whereas usually there comes a point where combine operators have to back off or risk the engine power suddenly dying away and a blockage occurring, that doesn’t seem to happen with the X9. Just when you feel you have pushed it too far there’s always a bit extra available, which makes it easier to get the best from the machine. With the 40ft header we struggle to keep the combine full despite achieving work rates twice as high as the S690s with their 35ft headers, side by side in the same field, while also using less fuel, and with less than half the losses. We definitely need the 45ft header to make the most of its performance, even in wheat.” Adam said the new controls seemed strange at first. “The joystick is much more responsive than the S690’s, and it took a while to get used to it, but now I wouldn’t want to go back to the previous machine. “The cab is much quieter and more comfortable, and I really like the operator aids such as Combine Advisor. There is no way I could constantly optimise performance A new CommandPro joystick with assignable buttons controls almost all functions. Combine Advisor operates through the top screen and constantly optimises performance.
as successfully as the combine management system does it, especially in this year’s variable crops. Once I have told the system what is acceptable then I can rely on it to always achieve that as a minimum.”
Effective The extended wet winter resulted in tramlines deeper than usual, but the combine handles them easily. “The tracks are improved over our early S690s, and more comfortable on the road and in the field, although I know that later S600- and S700-series models also gave a much better ride,” added Adam. “The way the header flexes as it rides over the tramlines is amazing. I slow down but leave the header to sort out the height control itself, and when you look back after crossing them the stubble has been cut to an even height. I can even run with one track in a tramline on headlands without worrying that the combine’s angle will affect header performance. The new 40ft header takes less watching than our 35ft headers, and I believe the 45ft model would be just as easy to use. It would also allow the X9 to be kept full at slower speeds, making the job slightly easier.”
Unreal performance “I realise that describing our experience sounds like an advert for John Deere, and we have to bear in mind that we are comparing the new model to our S690s which are eight years old, but the X9 is unreal,” added James Caley. “We are likely to replace two of our S690s with new X9s and 45ft headers, which will give us the extra capacity we need. This will allow us to make the most of harvesting opportunities when the weather allows and to chase the crop, rather than feeling that the crops are chasing us,” he added. FG
Amazed by its capabilities Caley Farms farm manager Scott Melton said he has been amazed by the X9.1100’s capabilities. “Until this harvest I had only seen the X9 working in wet conditions and although it still impressed me, seeing it this year in the dry I’m amazed. Earlier this harvest we had the X9 in the same field as two of our S690s cutting oilseed rape. The 36ha field With the new X9.1100 are (l-r) Adam Melton, James Caley, Edward Stephenson and Scott Melton.

New generation fire extinguisher popular with farmers up to 1,000V at 1m, as well as liquids and combustible materials. In most situations, current inventory can be reduced when replaced with P50 extinguishers, eliminating the need for two types of extinguisher, especially inside buildings. Interestingly, they are made from a Kevlar Aramid-type woven core, UV-protective casing and marine grade anti-corrosive components. The foam is watercourse-safe and biodegradable, which, with the 20-year life cycle and 100 per cent recyclability, means it is a green option compared to traditional equipment. Clients who purchase extinguishers from Cherry Products Ltd also have the added benefit of the online management program, allowing simple record keeping. The program has large capabilities and can handle multiple sites and users – even vehicles can be registered with drivers. There are also helpful training tutorials for servicing and using the management program. FG
A new P50 composite fire extinguisher is taking the industry by storm, according to manufacturer Cherry Products, which says it is saving most customers 47 per cent in costs over the 10-year warranty period. Servicing involves a simple, inhouse visual inspection, which saves time and money year on year. All P50 extinguishers meet the highest legal and safety standards and are fully compliant with British standard EN3, BSI. They are also CE-marked and endorsed by Apragaz, certifying them to be used on electrical fires

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
To appreciate why it’s important to replace a receiver drier, you first need to understand what it does, says air-conditioning parts supplier AP Air Ltd. Also known as a filter drier, it is located on the high-pressure side of the AC loop. It stores lubricant and refrigerant and is responsible for filtering out debris circulating in the system, and absorbing moisture. Unwanted moisture compromises the correct lubrication of a system and runs the risk of internal corrosion. Any unfiltered particles allowed to freely circulate the loop will eventually clog up the system’s components (condenser, expansion valve and evaporator) and/or cause the compressor to seize. A costly and inconvenient outcome by anyone’s standards.
Abnormal pressures and poor system performance can be indicators that a receiver drier is not working properly. Common reasons are: becoming worn or spoiled – excessive oil and/or improper use of additives such as UV dye and flushing agents will saturate and clog a drier. Or, system opening – if exposed to ambient air its desiccant will draw moisture from the air, reducing the drier’s capacity to remove humidity from the system. Not replacing your receiver drier at the appropriate time will harm other system components. AP Air Ltd recommends doing it every two years or whenever the circuit has been opened. If you don’t replace the drier when you change a compressor, you will invalidate your warranty protection. FG

New mid-size combine offers output to compete with larger models A new mid-size combine will join New Holland’s line-up next year, designed for high output harvesting in a wide range of crops while minimising losses and grain damage, and maximising straw quality. David Williams saw a pre-series example at work. “Modern cereal varieties can create problems as often the grain ripens before the straw is fully mature, making them difficult to separate and reducing harvesting outputs,” explained New Holland combine product manager Nigel Honeyman. “Full rotary models which thresh and separate during the crop’s transit through the rotors cope best, but the combines are usually larger more expensive models, and the disadvantage is increased straw damage, especially when the straw is dry and brittle. Straw walker combines are cheaper, and gentler on the straw, but often struggle to separate the grain from the thick mat of crop.”
Crossover concept New Holland offers a large range of five-and six-walker conventional models, and larger twin-rotor rotaries, including the flagship CR10.90 which holds the current eight-hour harvesting record, but for harvest 2021 a new model using a conventional drum to thresh the crop and twin rotors for separation will be available. The CH7.70 features the ‘Crossover Harvesting’ concept and is based on the CX6.90 five-walker model. The 600mm drum is claimed to be the largest in the size-class, and it features Opti-Thresh which allows the concave to be adjusted for a 121-degree wrap for aggressive separation, or opened at one end for
an 82-degree wrap to reduce crop damage when intensive threshing isn’t needed. Opti-Thresh adjusts easily in just a few minutes by moving a selection lever under the side cover into one of two positions. De-awning plates can be fitted, and drum speed is controlled by a new heavy-duty hydraulic variator.
Enhanced separation From the drum, the crop drops into the two large rotors. These are both 21in in diameter and 3.45m long, providing a separation area of 2.9m2. The twin rotors have a 1in smaller diameter than those of New Holland’s CR-series rotary combines and, because they only separate rather than thresh the crop, they rotate more slowly and have a less aggressive action. Only minor adjustments are needed between crops as the system is so gentle.
Under the side cover of the new CH7.70.
Efficient cleaning Below the rotors are conventional sieves with New Holland’s triplecascade cleaning system, and SmartSieve is standard, using a ‘kicking’ action to propel grain to the higher side of the sieves on side slopes. This operates automatically and compensates for slopes up to 25 per cent, and its action is linked to fan speed. For heavier crops with higher fan speeds the action is more vigorous, and for lighter continued over…

A new 8.53m (28ft) Varifeed header has been added to the range. This offers compatibility with 12m CTF systems and is expected to become the most popular option for the CH7.70 combine, allowing owners to take advantage of the increased capacity over current straw walker models.
…from previous page
crops such as oilseed rape where lower fan speeds are used, the kicking action is reduced. The fan speed also adjusts automatically to compensate for travel up and down slopes, reducing when travelling up hill and increasing during downhill travel to ensure the crop maintains constant movement along the sieves for optimum cleaning and minimal losses regardless of gradient. Returns are delivered by elevator to the drum for re-threshing and clean grain is transported by double helix cross-augers to the clean grain elevator to keep up with outputs up to 40 tonnes per hour (tph). The CH7.70’s separation system is shorter than the CX6.90’s, although overall machine length remains the same. This means that when not in use the straw chopper is moved to the rear of the combine,
but for chopping it moves forward approximately one metre to a position directly below the two rotor outlets. A button selects the chopper position, and with the drive belt tensioner released the belt is fitted and removed easily. Two chopper speeds are available, selected by swapping the belt between two pulleys. The CH7.70 is powered by an FPT Cursor 9 engine developing 374hp (34hp more than the CX6.90), and meeting Stage 5 emissions standards. Access for servicing and daily checks is good, and a high-pressure air tube runs in front of the engine and just above the exhaust manifold and turbocharger, delivering an air blast every three minutes to keep the area clear of dust and loose debris.
styling from larger CR-series models, including dark blue operator and passenger seats. A refrigerator below the passenger seat is standard and there is also a smaller drinks cooler in the roof panel. A new Nav 900 GPS receiver is fitted for guidance, and it also includes angle and attitude measurement for terrain compensation. For automatic steering an electric steering wheel is used, controlled through the IntelliView 4 terminal. Like other New Holland machines, joystick control of travel and key operating functions is convenient, and the stick returns automatically to centre as soon as it is released. All harvesting controls are similar to other New Holland combines in the current range.
New header options
Field test
New Holland is also introducing updated Varifeed headers for next season, and the CH7.70’s high crop throughput means working widths up to 9.15m are recommended. New design features include offset centre support auger bearings and support wheels at the rear of the table for the widest versions. Twin lift rams are fitted on the left side of the CH7.70, providing increased lift capacity for the wider tables. Drive tyres up to 900mm can be fitted and at the rear, large 520/80R26 tyres are standard for an extended footprint.
Farmers Guide spent an afternoon with the new combine, harvesting a field of spring barley in Essex. Poor conditions for establishment and early growth meant the yield and straw volumes were both below average, but sunny, dry weather meant grain moisture content was typically 12 per cent, and lower in some areas. The combine was a pre-series model fitted with the first new 28ft Varifeed header to enter the UK, and Nigel Honeyman believes this will replace the current 25ft header as the most popular option for UK farms. The view from the seat was excellent and it proved easy to achieve a smooth feed of the short-strawed crop to the table elevator. Noise levels were low and there was little vibration or rocking. A check of harvested grain in the trailer revealed few that were cracked or damaged, and certainly well below the target one per cent. “I was sceptical regarding a
Improved cab The Harvest Suite cab is similar to the CX6.90 but has the latest interior The Harvest Suite cab is comfortable and quiet. A steering wheel motor is controlled through the IntelliView 4 terminal and uses GPS signals from the Nav 900 receiver.
Crossover model previously,” added Nigel. “But, since seeing preproduction machines working last year and this pre-series model this season, I have been very impressed. It’s the size of our smaller five-walker CX models, but it matches the output of our six-walker machines. In wheat it will achieve up to 40tph which, for a machine this size, is impressive. Losses are minimal and grain damage is almost negligible. Straw quality is excellent, even when it is very dry.”
Makes sense Currently the CR9.90 rotary combine is New Holland’s best seller, along with the CX8.70 six walker machine, but Nigel believes the new Crossover model could replace the CX8.70 to take second place. “It costs less than the six-walker CX8.70 and CX8.80 models, and is only slightly more than the CX6.90 five walker, so it makes a lot of sense,” he explained. “Tests have shown it will match or exceed the CX8.80’s output and with its ability to take tables up to 9.15m (35ft), it will suit larger arable farms.” New Holland product demonstrator for UK and Ireland Sion Whittingham is in his fourth season with New Holland, and says he is very impressed by the latest model. “Like all New Holland’s harvesters, it’s very easy to operate, and the cab is comfortable and quiet,” he said. “Compared to other rotaries our CR range is known to be excellent in terms of minimal damage to straw, but where we have had this in the field alongside the bigger rotaries there is a noticeable improvement behind this machine. The chopper works well and achieves an even spread and the chaff spreader is also very good, spreading wide and

leaving an even layer. The threshing and separation system is simple too, and I’m impressed.”
Typical customer Nigel said most demand is likely to be from current owners of strawwalker combines who are desperate to achieve higher harvesting outputs. “The CH7.70 Crossover model isn’t as sophisticated as our premium CR rotaries and because threshing by drum is more aggressive than by rotor there are likely to be a few more damaged grains, although these
remain below one per cent. The gentler separation system means straw damage is reduced compared to pure rotary combines which is a significant advantage for many UK farms. “It provides higher output in all sorts of crops while maintaining optimum straw quality, and with the adjustable drum at the front and extra separation capacity at the rear it’s a superb combination.” FG Sion Whittingham (left) with Nigel Honeyman and New Holland’s new Crossover combine.

Versatile vehicle ‘leads the field’ for contractor
Agricultural and equestrian contractor Luke Finney is running his first Mercedes-Benz Unimog, after 14 years of trading – and he says it won’t be his last. Luke bought his Unimog from dealer Arthur Ibbett in St Neots, and it is now undertaking groundworks and building contracts for farms, rural businesses and private individuals. “Having experienced the vehicle’s amazing range of abilities, I can’t understand why anyone in my line of work would choose anything else,” he says. The U530 model is powered by a 7.7-litre, six-cylinder engine
which produces 220kW (299hp) and 1,200Nm of torque, and drives through a 16-speed electro-pneumatic transmission. Permanent all-wheel drive, impressive ground clearance, and uprated portal axles that have differential locks and offer extreme levels of articulation, contribute to its cross-country capability. Its specification includes the optional Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) system, which allows the driver to
quickly and easily lower tyre pressures without leaving the cab, minimising damage to particularly soft ground. VarioPilot, meanwhile, allows the steering wheel and instrument binnacle to be slid from one side of the cab to the other in minutes. The vehicle is equipped with front and rear electrical and hydraulic connectors, a front implement plate, roof-mounted beacons and main beam lights, with others covering the rear working area, and cameras at both ends. The U530’s ability to tow trailers at a gross train weights of up to 36t is another key attribute. Luke’s Unimog is often paired with a tri-axle lowloader by Chieftan, which carries plant including his Takeuchi excavator, or a Broughan dump trailer. Luke praised the vehicle’s comfort, “great field of vision” from the driver’s seat, and ease of operation, as well as its capabilities on any off-road terrain. He says the truck is “equally happy” on tarmac at speeds of up to 56mph, where it’s “far-more fuel efficient” than a tractor.
“It can tow any equipment I need to move around, while its own load bed with dropsides is ideal for carrying tools and other gear,” he adds. Luke says the customer service from Arthur Ibbett was also “excellent” and he received a fiveyear extended warranty package which was “very reasonably priced”. “I contacted the dealer initially, because I was looking for a used model. However, when Tim Ibbett told me he had this new vehicle available, with a specification that was perfect for my needs, I jumped at it... “The Unimog was delivered in perfect condition and I’m absolutely delighted with it.” FG

Superb farm pick-up Ford’s Ranger boasts the title of best-selling pick-up in Europe, and farmers account for a large proportion of its sales. Farmers Guide tested the latest model. David Williams reports. The Ranger comes in single, extended and double cab formats and with specification levels from the entry XL to the flagship Raptor. The single cab is only available in XL specification and it was this version, arguably the most practical with the largest buck and the highest load capacity, which was selected for the week-long test. For a base model the XL is remarkably well equipped, and the level of comfort is excellent. Standard equipment includes comfortable fabric seats, a heated windscreen, manual air conditioning, cruise control, DAB radio, electric windows and mirrors and a six-way adjustable driver’s seat along with a host of driver’s aids. There is a choice of two power units, both two litres and producing either 130hp or 170hp. The pick-up tested came with the more powerful engine. Higher specification Rangers come with large alloy wheels and plenty of bolt-on goodies but despite the XL’s entry-level specification it is still an attractive vehicle and gained many compliments during the test week from farmers keen to inspect it.
Practicality The XL single cab has the lowest unladen weight in the Ranger lineup, which also gives it the highest rated load capacity. Maximum payload for the 170hp version is a very impressive 1,252kg and the maximum braked trailer weight is 3,500kg. Maximum gross train weight is 6,000kg. The load bed is double-skinned and tough enough to withstand typical farm knocks. The usable area is 230cm long and 155cm wide, reducing to 114cm between the wheel arches. The tailgate is strong, with hinges capable of supporting heavy materials during loading, and provides plenty of space to slide large items into the buck through the 136cm opening. There are three heavy-duty tie down points close to floor level on each side, and hooks on the outside along the sides and rear. Ground clearance is 232mm, and the underside guarding is impressive. Below the rear tailgate is an under-run guard, also used to mount the tow bar. The full-width guard beam is made of 90mm box section, which should provide

adequate protection for fairly hard knocks.
Performance and comfort. The 170hp engine proved extremely flexible and was an excellent match for the six-speed manual transmission. Acceleration to 70mph was surprisingly quick, and on winding back roads the performance and handling were car-like. The ride was predictably firm but never uncomfortable, and it is very enjoyable to drive. Dry weather over the test period meant there was little mud to challenge the vehicle, but off-road on farm woodland tracks the ride quality was very good. The 255/70/16 tyres provided plenty of grip and easily handled deep ruts from tractors and other farm vehicles. With a load in the rear the ride was softer, and with
up to 420Nm of torque available it was possible to remain in higher gears and avoid changing down even at low speeds. Average fuel consumption during the 500 miles travelled was just under 34mpg, but on longer journeys with the truck unladen it easily achieved 35mpg-plus.
Interior For a base version the standard of finish was excellent, and there were no annoying squeaks or rattles at any speed. The seats are supportive and very comfortable with plenty of leg room for taller drivers. Inside storage includes large door pockets, a decent sized glovebox and a two-section compartment between the seats at the rear of the centre console. There are also smaller trays continued over…

Machinery range, and a separate button allows the rear differential to be locked in 4wd mode. The engine’s high torque and the flexible gearbox means that there is little need to select low range for most off-road situations, but for maximum control on slopes it allows extremely low travel speeds to be maintained. Visibility is very good, and large side mirrors provide a superb view for reversing trailers in confined spaces. Manoeuvrability is excellent.

Air conditioning is manual, and one of the only criticisms of the vehicle during the test was the confusing air distribution control labelling, which made it difficult to determine where air was directed. However, for regular drivers it would take little time to find

Servicing and warranty
The cab is comfortable, quiet and well-equipped. Large doors provide great access, and with the driver’s door fully opened the gap available is a minimum of 83cm.
A three-year, 60,000-mile warranty is standard, and routine services are due every two years or 18,000 miles. Refuelling is easy and there is no separate tank filler cap beneath the external flap cover. The Adblue filling point is also behind fuel filler flap. Daily checks are easily carried out, although the engine oil dipstick is

A rotating dial selects the main lighting modes, and to adjust the headlight angle to compensate for variable loads there is a rotating knob in the centre of the dial which is twisted to achieve a suitable level. There is also a handy load bed light at the top and rear of the cab. A rotating knob behind the gear lever selects 2wd, 4wd or 4wd low
located a full arm’s length back from the radiator grille.
Verdict The Ranger has to be one of the best farm pick-ups currently available and even in the base XL guise, it is comfortable, quiet and car-like. Performance and handling are excellent and will easily rival that of any other brand. For load carrying the large rear buck is ideal, and there is plenty of towing capacity for typical farm livestock trailers or fuel bowsers. For any farming business currently considering a new pick-up the Ranger is highly recommended and well worth a test-drive, and don’t discount the base XL version as it comes with a generous specification which made it a pleasure to use during the Farmers Guide test. Current promotional pricing means the XL single cab with the 170hp engine as tested is available from only £20,195. FG Ford’s 2.0-litre 170hp diesel engine proved smooth and extremely flexible. Replacing the dipstick after checking the engine oil level was tricky as the hole is at the base of a recess in the engine cover and can’t be seen. The windscreen wash filler neck requires a funnel to fill, to avoid spillages.

New combines don’t compromise on output, grain quality or straw
A press launch and demonstration of new Claas combines meeting demand for greater output while also improving grain and straw quality took place in early August in a field adjacent to the Claas UK Suffolk headquarters. David Williams was there. Company news The event began with Claas UK CEO Trevor Tyrrell explaining recent management team changes, including his promotion to senior vice-president for Western Europe and the appointment of Jeremy Wiggins to chief customer officer and Brian Wain to chief operating officer, while additional changes to the sales and service teams have also been implemented. Trevor highlighted ongoing investment by Claas worldwide, including in the UK where its Saxham base has been modernised and extended, and in Norfolk where a new depot for Manns Norfolk opened recently. There has also been significant investment in research and development of the product range, including in digitalisation and particularly Claas Connect, which links customers to their machines, dealer and Claas UK. Talking about Covid-19, Trevor said that weather this year had affected business far more than the pandemic, and that Claas UK expects a sales result for 2020 equivalent to or exceeding 2019.
Lexion APS Synflow Walker The combine launch announced new models to the Lexion straw walker range, following the introduction of new Lexion APS Synflow Hybrid rotary models last year. Product manager for combines Adam Hayward explained that, since 2011, more than a thousand machines from the previous Lexion straw-walker range have been sold in the UK, and he said there is growing demand for
models offering higher outputs while maintaining straw quality. The new line-up includes seven models; increased from five previously in the Lexion 600 range, comprising four 6000-series 6-walker models, and three 5000-series with 5 walkers. Most replace previous Lexion 600-series combine versions, but two are additions to the line-up, providing higher outputs in response to customer demand. All the new models use the award-winning APS Synflow Walker threshing system – adapted from APS Synflow which was first introduced on Lexion Hybrid machines last year. The APS Synflow Walker system includes a 755mm threshing drum with 10 rasp bars – 26 per cent larger than the previous 600mm drum, and followed by an additional 600mm diameter separator drum to achieve gentle separation of grain from the straw. Advantages of larger diameter drums include shallower concave wrap angles at 132 degrees and 116 degrees respectively, allowing flatter and gentler straw flow through the APS Synflow Walker system, preserving straw quality and reducing loads on the threshing system which also saves power
There are four new 6-walker models, three of which are available as TT TerraTrac versions. Topping the straw-walker line-up is the new Lexion 6900 with 507hp and up to 13,500 litres grain tank capacity, and over-lapping lower end models in the Hybrid rotary line-up. All have a 1.55m2 concave area and 6.2m2 total sieve area. The 408hp 6700TT pictured has an 11,000-litre grain tank and unloading speeds up to 130-litres/sec. Unloading augers up to 12m are available and all have a 105-degree pivot angle which means they unload in line with the cab steps, allowing the operator a good view into the trailer.
and fuel. Shallow wrap angles also provide a larger surface area and the main concave in the Lexion 5000-series is 1.3m2 – bigger than the outgoing largest Lexion 670 6-walker machine. New Lexion 6000 models have even larger concave areas of 1.55m2, and total separation areas of 7.62m2. The wider drum diameter generates a faster peripheral bar speed, allowing the rpm to be reduced, and drum speed can be set from the seat between 330–930rpm, using the Cebis display. All four drums in the APS Synflow Walker system have synchronised speed control, and parallel simultaneous adjustment of all four concaves makes it easy to set up for different crops, while the rear concave area
can be opened wider for more gentle threshing when conditions allow. There is also the option to replace 40 per cent of the main concave with a mesh of different size to suit crops of different sizes. The APS Synflow Walker threshing system also includes a pivoting threshing bar which can be rolled in to make contact with the crop where intensive threshing is needed or rolled out for reduced grain and straw damage when conditions allow. This is engaged and disengaged on the move from the Cebis display. Claas introduced JetStream cleaning on APS Synflow Hybrid models last year, and the same air-assisted grain cleaning system is incorporated in the new straw walker

Machinery models. Depending on the model there are six or eight turbine fans venting through a dual straw-walker step and a long airflow equalisation channel, to provide intensive pre-cleaning of the grain. The sieves and fan are adjusted through the Cebis display.
Premium grain handling Yield measurement within 1–2 per cent accuracy is achieved by the Claas Quantimeter system, which uses a pressure cell in the grain elevator delivery point. There is no need to specify the thousand-grain weight and calibration is required only once per year. The system is fully compatible with telematics for yield mapping and record keeping. The new models have grain tank capacities from 9,000–13,500 litres, and an improved unloading auger design – borrowed from the Lexion Hybrid models – makes it easier for the operator to watch the unloading process as the auger pivots to a point in line with the cab door. The auger can operate once it is pivoted more than 45 degrees from the transport position, so unloading can take place with the tractor and trailer tucked in tight to the rear of the table during headland opening. Augers up to 12m length are available and, depending on model, the maximum emptying speed is 180 litres/second allowing the largest 13,800-litre grain tank to be emptied in just 75 seconds. The unloading speed can be halved for topping off trailers, and the tank feeding augers are switched off before the main auger so that it is empty for folding.
A rubber-tracked Terra Trac option is available for the first time in the 5-walker range. The new 5500TT is powered by a Mercedes Benz 408hp engine and, like the other 5-walker models, it has a 1.3m2 concave area, and a sieve cleaning area of 5.1m2. The 5500TT’s grain tank is 11,000 litres in capacity, and unloading rate is up to 130-litres/sec. Irrespective of whether the new APS Synflow Walker combines have tyres or tracks, travel speeds up to 40kph are available.
chopping and spreading to 45ft. The flagship Lexion 6900 has an MAN power unit producing up to 507hp, and all other models have MercedesBenz engines from 313hp in the base Lexion 5300 to 462hp in the Lexion 6800. Dynamic Power intelligent engine management is new for Lexion straw walker models, and automatically adjusts engine power output according to load. Claas combine product specialist Adam Hayward said this achieves average fuel savings of 15–20 per cent. Dynamic Cooling is also borrowed from Lexion Hybrid models and is standard on new Lexion straw
walker machines. The variable fan cooling system draws clean air into the top-mounted horizontal cooling pack from above, then discharges it down the sides of the combine. All the new combines use a standard 1,900rpm engine speed for harvesting and a new drive system, similar to that of Jaguar forage harvesters. Straight line belt drives optimise power transmission efficiency and belts are automatically pre-tensioned before the drive clutches are engaged. This extends belt life by reducing shock loading.
Demand for tracks Tracks are available for all 6000-series models except the base 6600, and for the first time they are an option on a 5-walker model. The 5500TT also comes with a more powerful engine than the equivalent wheeled model as the track’s hydraulic drive requires additional power. All new Lexion 5000 and 6000 models are available with 40kph transmission, whether on wheels or Terra Tracs, and wheeled models also come with a differential lock. Larger 2.15m diameter tyres can be fitted on the drive axles and up to 1.75m on the continued over…
Improved header performance The latest Lexions also feature a new feeder, housing providing table pitch adjustment on the move, so that a more aggressive angle can be achieved with the knife tucked in tight to the ground for short or laid crops. Like the latest Lexion Hybrid models, the new Lexion straw walker machines come with a feederhouse dust extraction system. This draws dusty air in at the base of the feederhouse and discharges it at the rear of the header improving the operator’s view of the table, especially in dusty conditions at night. A belt feederhouse option is available.
Larger engines More powerful engines are fitted across the range, responding to growing demand from larger farms to be able to harvest wheat while
Claas cabs offer superb comfort and visibility, and the new Lexion APS Synflow Walker models gain advanced operator aids from the larger Hybrid machines. These include a new Cebis touchscreen with quick access menus and three methods of adjusting the main machine settings including the touchscreen terminal, a rotary push switch on the Cebis control panel or direct switches on the Armrest. Cemos Auto Threshing and Cemos Auto Cleaning are also both available providing automatic adjustment of threshing and cleaning to achieve standards set by the operator and using priorities from grain and straw quality to maximum performance. A dust extractor on the table elevator draws in dust from the header and discharges it at the rear, to provide a clear view. Field Scanner is a new automatic steering option capable of following the crop edge or tramlines, with the preference set by the operator.

rear. Adam said that although wheels remain the preferred option for most straw-walker combines, tracks are gaining popularity for their narrow overall width making them easier to move by road, and the larger ground contact area which helps reduce soil damage. The most popular track width is 635mm, although 735mm versions are increasingly specified.
Logical controls Operator aids include the latest Cebis display from 7000- and 8000-series Hybrid models, and sharing the same logical menu selection. A profile picture of the combine on the touchscreen includes key components in their expected locations and the operator has only to touch the screen symbol and the menu opens, allowing settings to be checked and adjusted. A continuous display of key operating data remains along the base of the screen regardless of which system is being interrogated through the menu.
Full automation Basic monitoring of performance includes a returns viewing window on the right-hand side of the driver’s seat, which remains a popular
feature with users. However, new automation for Lexion straw walker machines, available through the Cebis touchscreen terminal, includes Cemos Auto Threshing, using information from the grain quality camera and Quantimeter to automatically adjust the concave settings, drum speed and pivoting concave bar. A further option is Cemos Auto Cleaning which automatically adjusts the Jet Stream fan speed and upper and lower sieve settings. To use the automation, the operator simply selects a priority and acceptable limits, then the automatic monitoring system checks the standards are being achieved and makes appropriate adjustments to try to improve the sample. Priorities include high output, reduced losses, optimum grain quality, minimum straw damage or cleanliness of the sample, and performance standards are checked continuously while harvesting. The crop flow and engine load are also monitored constantly through Auto Crop Flow which is new to straw walker models. If a potential blockage occurs then crop feed into the combine is automatically restricted until the obstruction is cleared, preventing potential blockages.
CruisePilot, which adjusts the working speed to match a pre-set load, and Auto Slope grain cleaning are also available for new Lexion 5000 and 6000 models. Automatic steering systems available for new Lexion APS Synflow Walker models include Field Scanner, which uses a cab-mounted laser scanner to detect and follow physical boundaries such as tramlines or the edges of a standing crop.
Step-change solution “Adam said that, although Lexion Hybrid rotary models are accounting for a greater market share, demand for straw walker models remains due to their simpler design, lower purchase

price and better straw quality. “There is little difference in the grain quality between the models but, for farmers wanting to maximise straw yields and quality for baling, a straw walker model offers advantages,” he said. “The main advantage of a Hybrid rotary is its higher work rate, but our new Lexion APS Synflow Walker models set a new benchmark for straw walker machines and will satisfy demand from larger farms for combines capable of making the most of opportunities to harvest crops at their optimum quality, and during limited weather windows, while gently but effectively threshing and cleaning the grain and leaving straw in an ideal condition for baling.” FG

User-inspired design One of the star attractions at the German Agritechnica show last year was Massey Ferguson’s NEXT concept tractor. A worldwide online launch in late July confirmed specifications for production models. David Williams reports. The online launch included more than 65,000 viewers consisting of farmers, dealers and press, and Massey Ferguson Europe vice president and managing director Thierry Lhotte took the opportunity to highlight the brand’s recent successes, including a significantly increasing tractor market share. He explained that although Massey Ferguson production plants were closed for several weeks due to Covid-19, which created supply delays, not one order was cancelled.
New models
with Engine Power Management all models have an additional 20hp for tasks such as transport and PTO applications. Torque figures are impressive, with maximum produced at 1,000rpm and maintained right up to 1,500rpm.
New Dyna E-Power Transmission options include new Dyna E-Power, which is a dual-clutch gearbox for maximum efficiency through mechanical direct drive, but with almost stepless shifting similar to a CVT. It
has four ranges of seven gears which allow a large amount of overlap while changes are occurring, for smooth shifting under heavy load and during transport applications. For field work there is only a nine per cent difference between gears at speeds of 5–20kph. The operator can select fully automatic or manual shifting through buttons on the MultiPad or using the Power Control lever, and the rate of clutch engagement in automatic mode is adjustable to suit the task. Maximum 50kph is achieved at only 1,500rpm and 40kph is achieved at 1,200rpm for maximum fuel efficiency. Fuel savings up to 10 per cent and reduced power losses up to 26 per cent are achievable compared to the previous Dyna-6 transmission.
The new tractors are designated the 8S series, and the line-up includes four models initially, from 205–265hp. The design is completely new and apart from the styling, which is a clever mix of retro and futuristic, the most obvious difference between previous MF7700S models and the latest 8S series is the brand-new cab. Asked by Farmers Guide what the main objective for design engineers had been during tractor development, Thierry Lhotte explained that customer consultation and feedback had highlighted what was needed, creating focuses across many areas, and that $200m had been spent meeting the requests. The new 8S series models are the 8S.205, 8S.225, 8S.245 and 8S.265 and all share the same 3.05m wheelbase and Agco Power 7.4-litre, 6-cyl engines, meeting Stage 5 emissions regulations.

Dyna-7 The Dyna-7 semi-powershift is also new, and replaces Dyna-6, providing 28 speeds in both forward and reverse. The additional powershift gear ensures smoother shifting and improves efficiency gains up to 10 per cent compared to the Dyna-6 unit. Both new transmissions are available immediately and Dyna-VT CVT transmission will also be an option from next year.
Innovative cab design Driver comfort was an area of priority for designers, and a 28cm gap between the front of the new four-pillar cab and the rear of the enclosed engine compartment, separates the operator from heat, noise and vibration. The front screen is inclined, and the cab’s position is further forward than before improving forward visibility, while also making it easier to watch wide rear-mounted implements. The dashboard display has been moved from in front of the driver to the front right-hand cab pillar with information displayed on a new MF vDisplay terminal, so apart from the steering wheel and Power Control lever, there is nothing in front of the driver to obstruct the view. The cab pillars are narrow for a light, airy feel and total glass area is 6.6m2. The manufacturer claims the cab is one of the largest in its class with a total volume of 3.4m3. Seat options include a top specification leather version with air suspension, heating and cooling and ability to rotate for easier monitoring of rear- or side-mounted implements. There are 14 air conditioning outlets for effective ventilation. Mechanical active cab suspension is standard on Exclusive specification models.
Ergonomic layout Controls are on a new Control Centre armrest with an updated MultiPad lever for fingertip control of tractor functions and implements, and there is an integral mini joystick which can control two spool valves. The main Datatronic 5 terminal is on an adjustable arm. The 9in touch-screen display uses navigation similar to mobile phones and tablets for ease of use and it is used to manage MF Guide, MF Section and Rate Control as well as MF Task Doc data capture and transfer.
Practicality and performance 8S series models have a new, stronger rear axle and tyres up to 2.05m diameter can be fitted including new VF650/75R42s. Front axle suspension is standard, with a suspension lock, and equipped for brakes compatible with 50kph transport speeds. Rear linkage capacity is 10,000kg, increased
A new Control Centre armrest with a MultiPad lever provides controls for most tractor functions and Isobus-compatible implements. A micro-joystick controls two spool valves. The front right-hand cab pillar houses a new MF vDisplay making it easy to monitor tractor performance and operating data while leaving the front view unobstructed.
over previous models by seven per cent, and a 150-litre/min closed centre, load-sensing hydraulic pump is standard providing 36 per cent more flow than previous models. A 205-litre/ min system is an upgrade option – also available as an Eco version, generating 230-litres/min at 1,650rpm rated engine speed. Up to five electronic rear spools can be specified. The front linkage option is also uprated over the previous version with 4,800kg lift capacity, and there is the option of a front Isobus socket. Four-speed PTO is standard.
Designed for a Connected world As growing numbers of users take advantage of precision farming technology and remote task monitoring and recording, all new 8S-series models come with connectivity as standard. Telematics through MF Connect Telemetry are included with a three-year subscription license, providing mobile data transfer to the MF Connect Cloud and allowing authorised users to access machine management information. Information available includes machine location and working data, error message notifications and upcoming service requirement alerts. All information is available through the MyMF customer portal allowing data to be viewed and managed in real time, remotely from any connected device. MyMF will be available soon to users in mainland Europe and the UK. For precision farming applications the Datatronic 5 terminal manages the tractor functions and allows complete set-up and control of compatible Isobus-equipped implements. An additional Fieldstar 5 terminal can also be added to manage MF Technologies including MF Guide,

Availability Efficient versions of the MF 8S-series tractors won’t be available until 2021, but higher-level Exclusive variants are available now. Exclusive provides performance and comfort enhancing features including the MultiPad control lever, five electronic spool valves with fingertip switches and a joystick. It also comes auto-steer ready.
Minimised down-time All 8S-series tractors are included within Massey Ferguson’s Always Running guarantee which means that a loan tractor of similar power and specification will always be provided if the customer’s own tractor is out of action due to breakdown, and under guarantee.
Verdict There is no doubt the new 8S series tractors will have strong appeal to loyal Massey Ferguson customers, but they also come with many features which will tempt those currently using other brands. Replacing rather than updating the previous models means the new tractors are well future-proofed, with systems to meet the most demanding data handling requirements, but for those looking for a simple, dependable and competitively priced new tractor, these too are available.

Autumn Cultivations
First range demonstration highlights advantages of new brand
Bednar machinery is a common sight across mainland Europe, but the brand is less well known in the UK. That is set to change with a focused effort by the Czech manufacturer to promote and support its products through a network of premium dealers. David Williams attended a late June demonstration along with sales and service teams from Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd. Bednar products were originally sold under the Strom brand name and have been manufactured since 1999, two years after Strom was set up to export farm machinery from the Czech Republic. The Bednar brand name replaced Strom in 2013 and, the same year, the SwifterDisc and Fenix cultivators entered production and remain among the company’s best-selling models. An importation agreement with a UK manufacturer resulted in a number of machines entering the UK from 2013, but investment last year in Bednar’s own UK operation is likely to re-introduce the brand as competition to some of the current best-known ranges. The UK’s largest agricultural dealer, Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd, took on the franchise early this year, and products were displayed at the Doe Show in February – creating considerable interest from potential purchasers. In early July, an agreement with Case IH gave all Case IH UK dealers access to the Bednar range, further increasing customer awareness of the brand.
First demonstration The Essex demonstration on barley stubble adjoining Ernest Doe’s Ulting headquarters was the first opportunity for the dealer’s sales and service teams to see the cultivators and drills at work. Since the products
were displayed at the Doe Show, the sales teams have received requests for demonstrations across the trading area and the machinery working was all provided from the dealer’s demonstration fleet available for customer trials this autumn. “Since the UK division was set up last year, interest in the Bednar range has increased,” commented Bednar UK director Warren Rivers-Scott. “The market has become stale in terms of the brands and machinery options available, and farmers are keen to look at new products and new ways of doing things. What we offer from Bednar is a range of machines with practical new features to improve efficiency and operation, but also retaining the best aspects of existing designs. Discussions with potential customers have proved there is strong demand for fast, wide, shallow cultivators which help preserve and improve the soil structure, although there will always be a place too for traditional machines such as ploughs and power-harrow drill combinations. “Since Ernest Doe & Sons took on the Bednar franchise, the range has been well received by its customers and, on average, 90 per cent of those who had demonstrations later asked for a quote and, of these, 80 per cent placed orders. It’s a well-established brand in Europe with an excellent continued over…

The SwifterDisc is described by Bednar UK director Warren Rivers-Scott as ‘extremely versatile’ and suitable for applications from high-speed shallow stubble cultivation to deeper seedbed preparation.
The TerraLand is a one-pass cultivator combining deep soil loosening with fine seedbed preparation.

reputation, and we are expecting to see rapid sales growth in the UK as more farmers select it as an alternative to current premium brands.” Warren explained that additional products currently under development and due to be available shortly include the Directo direct disc drill, the Matador strip-till drill and the Afecta 12m grain and fertiliser drill, which is designed for CTF establishment regimes.
Positive reception Ernest Doe & Sons Bednar brand manager Ed Perry said sales teams from all the depots are thrilled to have Bednar to offer customers. “Feedback from those who attended the demonstration has been very positive, and all the products impressed with their performance. The recent decision by Case IH to set up the agreement with Bednar is an indication to us that taking on the brand earlier this year was a good one. Many professional farmers are already aware of Bednar, having seen the name at European shows, and with Case IH recommending it and the growing dealer network providing support, we expect a busy autumn demonstration season.” Doe Farms farm manager, Alan Willett, attended the demonstration and he said he was impressed by the performance of the Bednar products, and especially the TerraLand cultivator and SwifterDisc. “The land where the machinery was working can be quite tricky to farm, and most subsoilers leave ridges which can be a problem,” he explained. “I dug down to check the results achieved, and the TerraLand did exactly what was needed but left the land level and ready for drilling. It penetrated well too, and I was pleasantly surprised.”
Feedback from those who attended the demonstration has been very positive, and all the products impressed with their performance. Alan said the SwifterDisc achieved thorough chopping and mixing of barley stubble and soil across the full working width, even at a shallow working depth. “I’m impressed, and it would be interesting to carry out similar work with the farm’s current cultivator to see if it can match the SwifterDisc’s performance,” he said.
SwifterDisc disc cultivator Since its launch in 2013, the SwifterDisc has been one of Bednar’s best-selling products. It’s designed to work effectively at depths from just a few centimetres to 12cm, and at speeds up to 15kph, loosening the surface and cutting and mixing trash. Main applications are high-speed stubble cultivations, secondary cultivations after subsoiling or ploughing, and establishment of cover crops with Bednar’s Alfa Drill mounted at the rear. The transport wheels are mounted between the main cultivation discs and the rear packer, to maximise stability at speed and allow a tight headland turning radius. The demonstration machine had optional aggressive 520mm front discs for effective penetration on hard ground and was demonstrated at a range of working depths and operating speeds. Larger 560mm discs are an option for working down to 15cm, but Warren said most customers needing to work that deep would opt for the Atlas Disc
cultivator instead. “The SwifterDisc is extremely versatile,” said Warren. “The aggressive discs ensure soil across the full width is moved, even at shallow working depths making it ideal for high-speed stubble cultivations to create stale seedbeds and encourage grass-weed chitting. It’s also a very effective secondary cultivator, and with a hydraulically adjusted front paddle levelling board, it leaves a level surface for drilling.” The SwifterDisc is available in working widths from 3.0–12.4m, and an 18m version is in development and due for release next year.
The TerraLand is a one-pass heavy cultivator available in working widths from 4.0–6.5m, and uses traditional chisel plough points to penetrate and lift the ground. At the front – two rows of 690mm discs chop and mix trash and are capable of working down to 12cm. The discs are followed by four rows of deep loosening tines capable of working down to 45cm, and options include Active-Mix legs which maximise the soil ‘boiling’ effect, or Zero-Mix legs for minimum surface disturbance. Hydraulic leg protection is standard, and pressures are adjusted easily from the cab. Alternate legs can be lifted hydraulically in and out of work. A row of levelling stars ahead of the rear 630mm Heavy Cutpack packer helps ensure a level finish. Options include a rear drawbar for trailed implements such as a set of rolls.
Omega drill The Omega drill is available in 3,4,6 and 8m grain-only, and 4 and 6m grain and fertiliser versions currently, but the range will be extended to include 8m and 9m variants in both formats later this year. Parallelogram-mounted drilling coulters are at 125mm spacing, and Bednar’s Precise Seed Placement system accurately maintains pressure and seeding depth across the working width even on undulating ground. Coulter pressures exceeding 150kg are available and the coulter design means the rear press wheel not only ensures seed to soil contact
The MZ4500 4.5m mulcher was designed to work in demanding conditions, including maize stubble destruction.

Autumn Cultivations but also prevents the desired depth being exceeded in sandy soils. In front of the seeding coulters, a full-width tyre packer consolidates the soil, and the wheel sets are offset for ease of pulling, and to maintain stability on uneven ground. The demonstration drill was fitted with optional Profi-coulter discs ahead of the tyre packer, with each disc in line with a seeding coulter to create a fine tilth, and also making the drill suitable for strip-till drilling where conditions allow. The two rows of front cultivation discs are in an X-formation, ensuring the drill runs accurately behind the tractor rather than being pulled to one side by the discs. Cultivation depth can be as shallow as 2.5cm, and down to 15.0cm and the discs are designed to cope with large amounts of trash. A front levelling board helps break up clods, creating a level surface for drilling direct onto ploughed or sub-soiled land. The pressurised seed hopper maintains a constant feed to the metering system regardless of the amount of seed in the hopper. Calibration is conveniently carried out at the rear of the drill. Muller electronics are used, and the drill is fully Isobus compatible.
MZ 4500 Mulcher Bednar’s heavy-duty mulcher was designed to chop maize stubbles, and Warren commented that few other mower brands offer equivalent strength and build
quality. The body and chassis are made from galvanised steel, and bolt-on under guards are available for extra protection. The range includes 2.5m mounted, and 4.5, 6.0 and 7.0m trailed versions,
and Warren said the 4.5m model displayed weighs 2,800kg. Cutting height is set by the rear wheels and a parallel linkage between the front hitch and rear wheel frame keeps the deck level. FG

Autumn Cultivations The Koralin is pictured at Eau Brink Farms GmbH, in Lincolnshire, working on hard, dry silty clay loam where straw from the previous spring barley crop had been chopped.
Hybrid cultivator provides additional option for reduced herbicide use A new disc and tine cultivator designed for ultra-shallow tillage has started work in the UK. David Williams reports. Last year, Lemken announced it had purchased the Steketee mechanical weeder business, and just a few months ago it ceased sprayer development and sales. There is little doubt that Lemken sees a future for farming with reduced or no chemical use as a probability. The company previewed a new hybrid cultivator at Agritechnica last year, and a preproduction 8.4m version of the Koralin 9 started work in the UK this autumn. According to Lemken UK sales manager Paul Creasy, the level of interest from potential users is considerable.
Advanced grass weed control The Koralin is designed to achieve accurate ultra-shallow cultivation, and to cut the roots of vegetation just below the surface, while also efficiently mixing trash, seeds and soil across the full working width. Its primary application in the UK is likely to be for use on cereal stubbles to achieve an efficient kill of problem grass weeds, while also creating a stale seedbed to encourage additional weed or volunteer seeds close to the surface to chit before removal by further cultivation or herbicides. The 8.4m Koralin’s working elements include a row of 55 straight-running discs at the front, followed by 28 tines with spring overload protection and fitted with wide duckfoot shares, then a rear press roller and rake. It’s designed to work accurately at high speed from depths of just 2cm, so precise depth control across the whole implement is essential, and this is achieved using three leading support wheels at the front, and depth guide wheels integrated within the tine field. The 510mm leaf-spring mounted discs cut through trash and create a textured sub-soil profile. The discs work slightly deeper than the following tine feet, creating grooves in the sub-soil which prevents smearing and compaction by the following cultivation feet. The disc action also perforates the soil layer aiding water infiltration and surface drainage, and in medium to heavy soils
the disc action improves the soil crumb structure for subsequent seedbed creation.
Horizontal cutting The tine-mounted duckfoot shares can be set to work at depths from 2–12cm. The shares are 38cm wide and arranged symmetrically in three rows, giving 30cm spacing with a 2.5cm overlap. The horizontal cutting and lifting action just below the surface cuts through vegetation and provides thorough mixing across the full working width. Lemken suggests that where multiple passes are made, then the working depth should be slightly deeper each time. Carbide-tipped shares are an upgrade and expected to be fitted to most UKsupplied machines. The standard format includes a press roller and a single rear harrow at the rear but because the roller isn’t needed for depth control, the assembly can be removed and a four-row tine harrow with hydraulic tine angle adjustment fitted instead. Tine angle adjustment allows the working pressure to be varied for enhanced weed control and fine seedbed preparation.
Reduced chemical dependence Paul said interest from potential users has been for various applications. “For those currently tackling grass weed problems, or who have weeds under control but are remaining ultra-careful post-harvest, the Koralin’s cutting action makes it an effective solution. There are also growers who moved to reduced or zero-tillage systems a few years ago, but who have found that occasional cultivation is still needed. In this situation the Koralin allows the user to precisely control the depth of soil moved, and how much sub-soil movement is created. We have also had interest from farmers who see it as an advanced disc and tine cultivator, capable of achieving more soil movement close to the surface than their conventional models.” Paul commented that additional demand in Europe has been from growers preparing for tighter chemical use controls. “Many European
Farm manager Kai Koelle commented that he had given the machine a tough test in the hard dry ground conditions and unfit chopped straw, but that the Koralin 9 coped very well incorporating the residues and cutting soil across the full profile of the machine. He was pleased with the absence of blockages, and satisfied that a shallow pass with the Koralin 9, during which all the previous crop stubbles are chopped, would result in no loss of moisture – which is something he is keen to retain in the soil.
farms are already preparing for farming without glyphosate, or within stewardship schemes which limit total use and frequency of applications. Using the Koralin to replace glyphosate applications where possible might allow farms to keep back their glyphosate allowance for when its use is essential.”
No compromise performance For 2021 the Koralin 9 will be available in 6.6m and 8.4m working widths and a 12.4m version is likely to follow. The 8.4m UK demonstrator is fitted with front discs, tungsten-tipped feet, a roller and a single harrow and it has a price tag of more than £70k. Asked whether the Koralin offers advantages over cheaper straw harrows, Paul suggested that the Lemken solution is more effective and more versatile. “A key part of the Koralin’s design is achieving soil movement and mixing across the full width, even at shallow working depths,” he explained. “On hard, dry stubbles the rigid tines penetrate effectively and loosen and mix everything above, whereas in similar conditions a traditional straw harrow would struggle to create enough loose soil. The cutting action of the shares is important too, and rather than just raking between the weeds the Koralin’s horizontal blades cut them off at the roots. Cutting through the cereal stalks is an additional benefit as it reduces soil moisture loss.” FG September 2020 www.farmersguide.co.uk 73

Autumn Cultivations
Take control of costs, establishment and business security On the Mzuri trial farm, significant cost savings and yield uplifts have been achieved as a result of adopting a singlepass system.
With autumn drilling upon us, British manufacturer Mzuri explains how farmers across the UK and Europe are using its single-pass system to bring better establishment and more security to their businesses. In what are increasingly challenging times for growers, Mzuri says users of its single-pass concept are reaping benefits in four key areas: capital investment and depreciation; fuel and labour; soil health and erosion; and establishment and yield. By consolidating multiple machinery passes into one, the Pro-Til drill allows users to reduce their machinery portfolio whilst still achieving all the necessary steps for effective crop establishment. Mzuri says users typically find they
no longer use cultivation equipment they once relied upon, giving them the freedom to sell or downsize their fleet – saving tens of thousands each year. Fewer passes to establish a crop means less time in the cab, and less time spent burning fuel – both of which are a costly exercise. Compared with conventional plough-based establishment, the system dramatically reduces fuel and labour requirements per hectare, the company says. By keeping cost of production low, both per hectare and per tonne
of crop, Mzuri suggests its users are better able to withstand volatility in the marketplace and give better security to their business. The Mzuri Pro-Til only cultivates narrow bands of soil where it then places the seed, leaving the rest of the field completely untouched. This allows the soil to maintain its own structure, promoting good drainage, supporting microorganisms, reducing erosion, and encouraging healthy root growth. Part of the reason for its success is
the ability to establish crops into high biomass residue or cover crops. With a unique design, the Pro-Til handles surface residue with ease – supporting good soil health and reducing erosion through maintaining continuous, nutrient-rich ground cover. Mzuri says its users consistently establish crops across a range of soil types and seasons, throughout the UK and Europe. The combination of the Pro-Til’s front leg and central reconsolidation wheel produces the perfect tilth and nursery seedbed that promotes quick, even germination. On the Mzuri trial farm, the ProTil accounted for a 3.5t/ha wheat increase over the previous ploughbased system, amounting to an uplift of approximately 47 per cent over the past nine years. The benefits of switching to strip tillage can be almost instant, documented on the trial farm with a recorded uplift of 2t/ha in the first year alone, with many other users reporting similar impacts on yield throughout the UK.

Autumn Cultivations
Low pH compromises yield and quality, so plan liming now British Sugar’s LimeX manager, Richard Cogman, shares his advice on effective liming policy. Data from the 2018/2019 Professional Agricultural Analysis Group (PAAG) concluded that ‘there seems a need to address liming on significant proportions of arable and grassland areas’. The use of liming materials in Great Britain has decreased over the past two decades at an average rate of around 86,000t/year, to just over 2Mt. Furthermore, the PAAG survey showed that 57 per cent of grassland soil samples were at, or below, pH 6.0, and 41 per cent of arable soil samples were at, or below, pH 6.5. The five-year average data from the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) demonstrates continued low levels of liming in both arable and grassland rotations, as shown in Table 1, despite a small improvement in the year. These five-year averages are equivalent to liming grassland on a 30-year cycle and arable land on a 12-year cycle – however, this will not sustain pH or yield and profitability. Routine rotational soil pH testing is required to ensure an effective liming policy is in place to avoid consequential loss of yield and quality by maintaining pH at an appropriate level for the rotation – ensuring the efficient use of applied nutrients. Ignoring soil pH and available calcium can prove to be a very costly mistake even in the short to medium term (see Table 2). Table 2: The impact of low pH on macro-nutrient efficiency.

Simple ways to create the perfect chit Crop establishment company Remac UK says min-tilling the top 0.75in of the soil in order to keep up with black-grass production means the opportunity to get a cheap stubble clean-up is lost. Remac UK owner Howard shares his views on a cheaper, more cost-effective way to get a first-class chit within just a few days, by doing nothing for the first few days after harvest when the soil has been damp. He advises keeping all residue as close to the surface as possible: “The warmth of the soil after harvest, combined with surface residues keeping this environment humid, are ideal for creating the perfect chit. “Alternatively, use the Remac
soil loosener with a seeder planting a cover crop. Putting down roots will help build soil structure. “This is cheaper and more effective in the long run compared with incorporating. Soil structure is important, as good drainage encourages crop competition and at the same time discourages black-grass – this being a weed that thrives in marshy conditions.” Remac UK has expanded its range of affordable tillage products this spring, by adding a 2.4m soil loosener to its range of 1.5, 3, 4.8 and 6m looseners. From autumn 2020, a front-mounted seed hopper will also be available as an option, as well as the standard version. FG
Left: Starting of a good chit. Right: Good start for black-grass.
Product range aids drive towards min- or zero-till UK importer for the Guttler brand, Wox Agri, says it offers many products that are pertinent to the drive towards reduced and zero tillage. The tined Supermaxx cultivator has a working range from 3–12m, in mounted and trailed formats. Paddle options are available for the plough-based system, with five rows of tines and reinforced helpers as a standard fitment. Rear following harrows are fitted either before the roller or afterwards. The ability to run the machine on gauge wheels at the front of the machine or on a combination of gauge wheels and roller is important, as in many cases the weather will dictate the machine’s performance. The Guttler brand, synonymous with the Prisma ring profile, has in its range trailed rollers from 3.0–12.40m,
with adoptions of tines and seeders giving the perfect partner to the Supermaxx for re-consolidation, shallow harrowing and straw raking. Its ability to follow the rigs and ground contours cannot be equalled in the marketplace, according to Wox, with its unique pendular movement across the full width of the framework. Individual gangs of 1.5m allow for flexing and self-cleaning in difficult conditions, but in dry conditions offer optimum seed-tosoil contact. The 12.4m machine weighs 6,500kg, going up to 8,600kg with the harrow system. Air brakes, plus wheel and tyre equipment of 15.0/55-17 10PR give the machine a long-term position in any farm’s inventory, says Wox. FG

Are you working your soils correctly? Kverneland cultivator tines are designed to suit various soil types, working depths, soil movement and residue management, in both primary and secondary cultivations. David Holmes, Kverneland’s commercial product manager for arable systems (pictured), says the ability to work as deep as necessary, and also vary the depth of operation, is vital to managing residue, while repairing and restructuring soil profile during cultivations. “It’s why we offer Triflex and Reflex tines with a choice of 10 shares, allowing maximum flexibility with soil disturbance at depths from 3–20cm,” he explains. Triflex has five share options, from a 25cm wing for shallow operation, to an aggressive 6.5cm wing for deeper loosening. The Reflex tine includes knockon points from 24cm wide, narrowing to a 5cm share, again for deeper operation. Where the Reflex 200 tine
suits light-to-medium soils with its 200kg penetration force and high frequency vibration to aid shattering, the more rigid Triflex 400 and 700 models can withstand greater force in heavier soils – typically, 400kg and 700kg respectively. Triflex tines feature a dual working angle, for controlled soil movement. This combines deep loosening and shallow mixing in one operation. Kverneland’s Turbo cultivator can now be equipped with the heavier duty Triflex 400, offering greater strength and rigidity than the Reflex 200 tine. In this application, the Reflex tine is held in place by the proven Kverneland auto-reset leafspring system. FG

Fully adjustable subsoiler Keeble Bros has announced a new subsoiler, which will be added to its cultivation products line-up later this year. The subsoiler is available in working widths of 3.5–6.0m and with 5–11 subsoiling legs, and Keeble Bros director John Keeble explained that the main advantage for users is the ability to set up and adjust all tillage elements to suit the working conditions and result required hydraulically from the tractor seat.
Hydraulic adjustment At the front of the subsoiler, two rows of hydraulically adjusted leading discs cut through trash and break up the surface. Pressure and working depth are fully adjustable, and the discs can be raised out of work when they aren’t needed. John explained that 600mm discs were chosen for their ability to penetrate ground effectively, even in hard, dry conditions. The subsoiling legs are also fully adjustable and can be raised or lowered hydraulically, independent of the discs or rear press. Standard or low-disturbance legs are available, and John expects the low-disturbance option to be selected by the majority
of users. A single rear packer with spikes or a ring roller can be specified, and this can also be lifted out of work with depth control transferred to the large transport wheels. The new subsoiler uses a similar chassis to the long-established Progressive cultivator, and the two wings fold hydraulically for transport, to achieve an overall width under 3m.
Flexible operation “We will be demonstrating the cultivator this autumn and taking orders for delivery in 2021,” explained John. “The subsoiler is designed to suit the latest generation of larger wheeled, tracked and halftrack tractors of 400hp+, and was developed in response to requests from potential customers. “The new subsoiler complements our current Progressive, Atlas and Crossover models, and the ability to adjust all the cultivation elements individually on the move makes it extremely flexible, so it can be used
equally well during autumn and spring cultivations in a wide variety of working conditions – from deep soil loosening, to working land down after ploughing. There has been a lot of interest from traditional arable farms and vegetable growers throughout the UK, and we expect to be busy carrying out demonstrations this autumn,” he confirmed. FG

Record sales for innovative subsoiler Sales of an innovative subsoiler system have rocketed in the last year, with Agricast reporting a sharp increase in pre-harvest orders. Replacement wearing parts provider Agricast launched its Low Disturbance Xtra system at TillageLive in 2017, and sales have grown each year since. So far this year, the company has converted a further 10 machines to use its LDX system. The LDX was an evolution of an existing popular penetration point and wide swept wing. As well as being backwards compatible with some OEM legs, the low disturbance
system can be fitted to any brand of machine using deeper cultivation or subsoiling legs. Last year, Agricast added tungsten carbide protection and advanced hard facing to the two most popular sized wings; 125mm and 175mm, ensuring maximum wear life. A high chrome steel casting combined with full frontal tungsten tiles ensures maximum wear life for the point. Like all of Agricast’s subsoilers, the LDX range is manufactured to strict Rockwell hardness standards for maximum abrasion resistance. General manager William Robinson says: “I think we’ve benefitted a lot from word of mouth with satisfied customers talking to their friends and neighbours about how they’ve saved money over OEM parts and received a more durable product... Even when opting for our premium tungsten option, farmers are enjoying a low cost per acre and low draft for easy pulling.”FG
New narrow tine harrow point for heavier soils Vaderstad has launched a Marathon 15/25 tine harrow point, which has been designed to maintain a constant working depth in heavier soils. The 15/25 is a modification to the Marathon 25/35 introduced in 2018. It is smaller than the 25/35 and, despite having a narrow tip of just 15mm, it is extremely tough and can work in challenging conditions – penetrating even the toughest soils. Each 15/25 point can be individually adjusted in five different height positions – a feature which is especially useful in helping to remove compaction from tyres and heavy equipment. The Marathon point has a tip
NOW IN STOCK
made of wolfram carbide mixed with nickel or cobalt to produce one of the toughest and most durable materials on the market. As such, working life expectancy can be 10 times longer than a regular point. “Maintaining working depth is extremely important and shouldn’t be underestimated, since it has a direct impact on the seeding results and thus the emergence,” says Vaderstad marketing manager Andy Gamble. The Marathon 15/25 became available on 1st June 2020, for the NZ Mounted and the NZ Aggressive. It is also available for the Concorde. FG

Overcoming the challenges of zero-till
Another tool in the armoury against weed infestation Garford offers inter row hoes, from small manually-guided machines up to 18m trailed machines with Robocrop Precision Guided High Speed Systems. Specialised equipment can be added, such as fertiliser or spraying systems, for efficiency and economic benefits. The company can supply rigid or hydraulic folding frames up to 18m working width, front-mounted or rearmounted versions. Category 2 front linkage is available for frame sizes up to 6m, and category 3 is also available. The Garford System can work as close as 8–10 mm from share to crop. Travelling with guidance system speeds of 12–15kph is more than possible. For night shifts, a work light is applied to the camera pole.
Diamond class tine frames are easily adjustable, so the machine can be used in multi-cropping areas or when the crop canopy closes. Machines have an 11-hole tine frame, with the option for various attachments and blade configurations, along with stainless plug-in assemblies and tine hangers. Tine raisers are an optional feature for headland and overlap management and field curves. Using GPS can help to avoid overlap or cross hoeing in the crop. The inter roe hoe allows for breaking the soil cap of 1–2cm depth to make nitrogen locked in the soil available to the crop. This allows for drainage and, if irrigating, allows access for water to the crop. FG
The agricultural industry is seeing a rise in the use of cover crops and zero-till methods and, considering the agronomic benefits, it is no surprise growers are deciding to use these techniques. Yet the transition to zero-till can be daunting and challenging; yield can suffer in the first few years if the land is not ready. Eventually, crop rotation and a healthy worm population will take the place of tillage, but initially, J.J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd says its NG System can improve soil structure to prepare for the change of practice. For the zero-till method to be successful, the soil must be free of compaction, have a healthy worm populace and plenty of organic matter. Direct drilling requires the seed to be placed directly beneath the residues of the previous crop, with minimal soil disruption. Worms help aerate the soil and reduce compaction, therefore they must not be disturbed. The low disturbance NG system is the perfect transitional subsoiler point, the company says.
The NG System has the ability to relieve compaction without mixing soil zones – it creates fissures through the soil, allowing air flow, water and nutrients to penetrate. The narrow shin retains the summer tilth, providing good seed-to-soil contact, which is essential for germination and keeps the disruption of worms as low as possible. FG

Front tank combination replaces self-propelled sprayer A Vicon iXter front and rear spray tank combination has replaced a self-propelled sprayer for one Gloucestershire contractor. Jeremy Wheeler (right), based at the 140ha Bulley Farm, Churcham, Gloucestershire, covers around 12–15,000 acres each season, applying sprays and liquid fertilisers for customers. His sprayer of choice is a Vicon iXter B18 mounted sprayer with 24m boom, working in combination with an 1,100-litre iXtra front tank, supplied
by Severn Agricultural. “It’s proving to be a superb combination, at a fraction of the cost of a self-propelled,” he says. “And it means I get the comfort and convenience of my Claas Arion 640’s cab.” He has also added Isobus wiring to his tractor, so he could benefit from the latest control terminal technology, improving
accuracy and efficiency for all applications. The 24m unit is equipped with auto-section control and Boom Guide levelling. It also includes ErgoDrive, which automatically raises and lowers the boom at headlands. He opted for iXclean Pro, which runs filling, spraying and tank agitation from the cab, and the benefit of one-touch, high-
efficiency cleaning. And Vicon’s ISOmatch Grip – a customisable joystick – simplifies overall control. “I do treat the combination as two separate tanks, but liquid management is very easy,” he says. “An electric transfer pump takes care of tank balancing, and allows me to keep weight in the front tank for longer, when on those steeper gradients, or I can simultaneously spray out from both tanks.” “The entire outfit offers a much higher level of technology and with far simpler control, than my previous sprayer,” he adds. “And with Vicon’s Tellus Pro dual screen terminal, I can run guidance on the top part of the display, with sprayer functions on the bottom. It’s brilliant.” FG

Power harrow range set for UK demos Featherstone Machinery and Celli Spa will be demonstrating the full range of Celli power harrows throughout the UK, as part of this year’s demo programme. According to Featherstone Machinery managing director Jon Featherstone, Celli’s large range of power harrows can provide high quality, cutting edge power harrows to any size of operation. “We will be offering demonstrations throughout the country, and really look forward to showing our customers the quality of work and design quality of our power harrows,” he says. “We are also looking to recruit dealers throughout the UK and would welcome a conversation with those interested in becoming an exclusive Celli agent.” Celli has five models in its fixed body range. The lineup starts with the MiniGo – with working widths of 1.07–1.80m and a maximum hp requirement of 80 – and progresses up to the Go, which consists of four
models and has working widths of 1.8–2.55m. For tractors up to 110hp, Celli has manufactured the Ranger rotary power harrow. Its robust four rotor per meter design means that optimum ground working is achieved with less horsepower requirement. Next is the Energy – a power harrow with working widths of 2.5–4.0m and a maximum hp rating of 200.
Options on this model include a four-speed gearbox, quick-fit tines, hydraulic roller adjustment and, as with the other models, a selection of packer rollers. Last, but not least, is the largest of Celli’s fixed body power harrows – the Maxi, which has a maximum hp rating of 250 and, like its smaller cousin, has four rotors per metre and a large range of accessories and packer options available. Folding power harrows are an important part of Celli’s machinery programme and it offers four models – starting with the Agile, which has working widths of 3.5–4.5m and
Later the better
a maximum hp rating of 160. Next it offers the Ranger, with a maximum hp of 210. Like other machines in the range, it has four rotors per meter and a working depth of 28cm. For larger operations with tractors up to 260hp, the Energy model is perfect, Featherstone says. It has working widths of 4.0–6.0m and offers options of oil cooling kits for the gearboxes, hydraulic packer adjustment and quick fit tines. The largest machine in the lineup is the Maxi P. The range offers an optional 450hp maximum rated gearbox and has all the options available in its siblings’ ranges. If you are interested in a demo, contact Featherstone Machinery. FG

Cultivation machinery range brought to the UK A range of cultivation machinery from Polish manufacturer Awemak is now fully available in the UK from PFC Agri Solutions, formerly known as PFC Forage Solutions. One machine in the range is the Ares HD, which comes in five sizes to suit different farm sizes and power requirements, from 3–6m. It uses a 120mm x 120mm x 8mm box frame, providing industry-leading strength and longevity, PFC says. The Ares comes as standard with two rows of reinforced legs, carrying 560mm x 6mm discs with German-
built, NSK-reinforced, maintenancefree hubs. This allows the Ares to work in the harshest of conditions from heavy clay, flint and shale soil types. Straw tines aid levelling and spreading of large amounts of trash in the first pass to create a chit for stale seed beds. Breaker boards are another standard feature, which break down clods and consolidate and level the soil, allowing the discs to work more efficiently to create a final seedbed. Breaker boards passively move soils to provide levelling and cultivation. The consolidated soil presented to the discs enables them to do a better job of cutting and slicing clods before the roller option consolidates. Active side screens are a standard feature. Optional front depth wheels provide stability to enhance the consistency of the seedbed. Larger 610mm discs are also an option for high trash conditions. FG
New machine ‘perfect for autumn cultivations’
Building on the success of the Allrounder Profiline, Kockerling has developed the Allrounder Flatline for extremely precise cultivation and residue incorporation. The Flatline can be used as a primary or secondary pass machine, or into ploughing. The Allrounder Flatline can work from very shallow depths or up to 13cm. The working depth is fully hydraulic and adjustable on the move from the tractor cab. New heavy-duty double sprung elephant tines are spaced at 130mm over six rows, which gives excellent clearance for crop residue to flow around the tines and leave a very level finish – with organic matter evenly distributed even in the toughest of conditions. The Flatline has outstanding
contour following, based on four well-spaced depth wheels and the original double STS roller, Kockerling says. The wings will move independently to match field conditions, so the machine works reliably at the set depth. Available in two working widths (6 and 7.5m), the machine can be fitted with various point options from 60–200mm. You have the option of fitting either a front level board or a knife roller with a diameter of 360mm and six coiled knives; this is ideal for oilseed rape stubble to cut up the crop residue. Other organic residues and cover crops are also reliably cut. Both options are hydraulically controlled. Wheel mark eradicators can also be fitted if required. FG 73414

Autumn Cultivations
New drill feature allows direct drilling on corn stubbles JC Machinery exhibited the new Vredo Crop Drill System (CDS) at Lamma 2020 at the start of the year, and this autumn will see it put to work in the fields.
1
The well-known Vredo Agri Twin and Vredo Agri Air Series are now available equipped with the new CDS feature. CDS enables the Vredo to sow arable crops directly on corn stubbles without any tillage at a 15cm row distance. The machine keeps its well-known features for grassland overseeding (7.5cm), making it the only machine that can overseed on grass and arable land, the company says. The base of the machine remains a pair of slicing discs with an interrow distance of 7.5cm. To allow arable crops to be sown deeper, every second pair of discs can be pulled up hydraulically, creating a sowing distance of 15cm. The seed distributors can be quickly diverted from 20 to 10 exits, to withhold the
pulled-up elements from seed. Vredo has developed its own pneumatic seed hopper, which distributes very fine seeds or very large seeds to the seeding elements evenly. This system doesn’t cultivate the soil, it only slits the ground, meaning less machine power is needed – which brings savings on fuel and means you can work with one machine all year round. The soil is not processed, not even in advance, and retains its strength, moisture and structure. Stubbles only need to be mulched, e.g. with a knife roller or flail mower (combinable with front attachment). The soil retains the organic matter in the top layer, which gives you healthier plants, uses fewer chemicals and fertiliser and nitrogen stays in the soil. Other unique features of the system include a bigger fan and pipework to enable seeding up to 240kg/ha, turf guards with quick couplings that can be removed quickly in order to seed deeper and a working width of 5.8m in combination with a packer ring roller.

Italian manufacturer growing in UK
Disc harrows offer blockage-free incorporation The new Pottinger Terradisc 8001 T and 10001 T, with working widths of 8 and 10m, guarantees blockage-free incorporation of harvest residues and reliable operation in different operating conditions. High reliability plus working speeds up to 18kph ensures the enormous output of the Terradisc, Pottinger says. The uniform, shallow working depth and optimum packing effect produces a perfect seedbed. The compact design, aggressive disc angle and offset configuration of the tools ensure reliable penetration and excellent mixing in of soil and vegetation, even in dry conditions. The individual frame sections adapt to the ground contours to provide optimum conservation of the soil, and at the headland, the Terradisc T is raised onto the
suspension of the rear roller so its weight is distributed across the whole working width. The trailed Terradisc is therefore very light on its feet at headlands. Despite its large working width, it is compact during transport; the chassis features an integrated folding and transport system for safe road transport, with a transport height of 4m and a transport width of 3m. Air brakes or hydraulic brakes are available. An Isobus-compatible control system and load-sensing hydraulics are optional. Pottinger offers the new Expert 75 Isobus terminal – a convenient and intuitive single-hand control system with a touchscreen and scroll wheel – which can be used together with all Isobuscompatible machines. FG
Alpego is a well-established industrial reality, and the company says it is synonymous with quality and reliability in the agricultural sector. For many years, the agricultural machines of the Pegoraro family have been working continuously across many parts of the world. The machines have shown maximum efficiency and reliability through an increasingly wide range of products, including power harrows, rotary tillers, stone buriers, subsoilers, seed-drills, flail mowers, cultivators, front hoppers, short discs and combination drills. Alpego machines have a reputation for strength, quality, continued innovation and reinvestment, and the company
says is difficult to find other machines in the current market with the same characteristics. Alpego explains the values that have always distinguished it are: • High quality raw materials • Maximum reliability • High quality after-sales service • Constant innovation • Family business for three generations in the agricultural sector • Technology serving the customer. The Alpego machines are easily recognisable thanks to the intense yellow colour, are well-known within the agricultural markets as a global player and continue to grow in the domestic market with a UK-wide dealer network.

NORMAC
Demonstration day is ploughing ahead While the majority of 2020 events have been cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions, at the time of writing in mid-August, the Norfolk Farm Machinery Club is intending for its biennial NORMAC Cultivations Demonstration day to go ahead on 16th September, from 8am until 3pm – assuming the coronavirus restrictions continue to be relaxed over the next few weeks and unless any significant changes to the current situation occur. NORMAC county organiser Chris Thomas believes this year’s event could see a record number of exhibitors and visitors, given that it is the only agricultural show in East Anglia this year. He insists all necessary measures will be taken
to ensure the safety of visitors and exhibitors, in line with evolving government advice. The event, which showcases the latest machine technologies and farming techniques, will be taking place at its usual site near Downham Market. One change for this year is that the site currently features a green cover crop, so some exhibitors will have an emphasis on direct drilling machinery and will be on hand to offer advice on cover crop management. A significant proportion of the field will be used for cultivation and seed-drilling demonstrations, with discussion topics being soil health, compaction problems and tyre choice, among others. Visitor entry and parking is free. FG
The Doubleday Group will be exhibiting again this year, showing the latest equipment working, with the support of its product partners.
Harvesting | Transport | Cultivation
New tined cultivator arrives in the UK The Combi Expert from German machinery manufacturer Ziegler will be shown in the UK for the first time this autumn at NORMAC on 16th September. It will be shown by importers Abrey Agricultural Ltd, alongside the Disc Master Pro and Field Profi, which the Essex-based company brought to the UK last year. The Combi Expert uses a levelling board running ahead of four rows of tines that work from 3–15cm, to cultivate the seedbed. Six rear roller options are available to consolidate and finish it, leaving it ready for drilling with little or no additional passes. There are also 4m, 5m and 6m versions available (120–150hp). Options include double springs on the tines for
working heavier soils and harder conditions, and an APV seeding kit. The Disc Master Pro is available in a several formats between 3m and 7m. Discs are mounted on maintenance-free bearings, with rubber damping to maintain consistent cultivation depth and excellent contour following, letting them trip clear of obstructions and automatically re-set to working depth. The Field Profi is a tined machine in 3m and 4m formats that works to 8–38cm deep. Wide spacings between elements ensure good trash flow, even when working in high volumes and growing vegetation. Six designs of rear roller are offered, as well as a rear harrow and a seeding kit. FG

While chemical control is a key weapon in the sprout control armoury, varietal dormancy is also an available tool. AHDB SBCSR crop storage senior scientist, Dr Glyn Harper, and his team have undertaken a long-term trial of both chemical controls and natural varietal dormancy. The trial tested the efficacy of both approved and also near-market treatments on four UK pre-pack varieties, trialling them both alone and in combination. The active substances under the spotlight were maleic hydrazide (MH), CIPC (no longer approved for use), spearmint oil (Biox-M), dimethylnapthalene (DMN – AHDB expects approval for 2021/22) and ethylene. The four varieties in the trial were King Edward, Maris Piper, Melody and
Nectar – all in the top 20 for the UK market and all of differing dormancy. Plots were hand harvested, tubers stored at 4.5ºC and the samples were assessed over nine months, looking at both length of sprouts and weightloss of tubers. All crops were treated according to the needs of the variety that was most likely to sprout, using the maximum level possible, to ensure results were fair. Dr Harper commented it was clear to see even after nine months how much of an impact MH had on the sprouting of those varieties. Without treatment, King Edward and Maris Piper in particular were demonstrating significant sprouting, compared to the samples which had received MH treatments. Following on from this discovery,

varieties planted at both SPot North and SPot West. They were handharvested and then 50 tubers of each variety were stored at 15ºC at SBCSR, and sprout length assessed on a weekly basis. The results showed a range in dormancy covering almost 100 days, which Dr Harper considered to be significant. “As an example, the dormancy at 15ºC for Melody is 180 days, whereas for Mozart it’s 210 days so, for example, if it was a suitable exchange, you could use Mozart instead of Melody, and garner an additional 30 days’ dormancy in the store,” explains Dr Harper.

Biox-M and DMN. “After nine months storage, untreated is pretty sprouty at around 23mm sprout length, ethylene is having a good effect, but Biox-M and DMN are having a spectacular effect in the absence of MH,” points out Dr Harper. The second factor in terms of sprout control discussed was varietal dormancy – in particular, asking the question ’is it possible to improve sprout control and reduce costs by using equivalent varieties with longer dormancies’.

Guide to robotic palletising With much of the industry moving towards bigger and better kit, Granta Automation asks have you considered automating the palletising process? Palletisers are now simpler, more flexible and better value than ever before; with some systems such as
the Granta GA15 series so easy to program that anyone who can use a computer is able to do it.
“
There are many different automated palletising options available on the market, so Granta has put together a few key points for you to consider before investing in an automated palletising solution.
Palletisers are now simpler, more flexible and better value than ever before.
Ease of use:
Try before you buy:
How simple is the palletising system to use? Can it quickly be reprogrammed to palletise different bag or box sizes? Can your staff re-program it themselves? Be sure the system has simple programming software, as this enables your staff to re-program the palletiser quickly and easily, so you avoid having to call out an expensive robot programmer.
For your own peace of mind, make sure you have tried your product on a palletiser before you purchase it. Whilst palletising is a straightforward process, there are many factors that affect how neatly your products stack, and a trial is the best way to establish the best method. There are automation companies that will offer a free trial of your product on their palletiser before you purchase.
Ability to relocate: Ensure that the system can be easily moved. As systems evolve over time, the last thing you want is to end up with a palletiser stuck in the wrong corner! There are palletising systems available that are modular, which can be easily re-situated should the need arise. The modularity of these systems also allows you to adapt the palletising process to suit your needs over time by adding further processes, such as pallet shrink
wrapping, slipsheets, automated pallet feeding etc., at a later date.
Return on investment: Typically, the payback time for an automated palletiser is very quick as not only do you remove the manual labour element, but production can also continue to run throughout break times – thereby enabling you to improve your production speed. If you would like further information on the Granta GA15 Palletising system, please contact the team. FG

Sprout suppression for both fresh and processing markets Biox-M is a well-established and highly effective treatment for the control of sprouting of potatoes in store, in widespread use in the UK and on the continent on crops destined for both fresh and processing markets. With the withdrawal of CIPC for the 2020 harvest, many growers will be using Biox-M for the first time this season; and for many processors this will be the first season in which they will handle Biox-M treated crops at scale in the UK. Lessons have been learned from crops treated over the last few months, and it is important that growers and store managers pick up best practice and gain familiarity with the product. It is a relatively new treatment, which
requires particular attention to detail in store management. Biox-M has been approved for use as a sprout suppressant in the UK since 2012 and has been used on a wide range of British potato varieties with excellent sprout control. For crops destined for fresh and organic markets, this product is well understood and already in general use; it is part of the normal toolbox. Many of the lessons learned from use in the fresh sector have been
reinforced in the processing stores. Store integrity is paramount. Biox-M is a volatile compound and should not be allowed to escape from store. For optimum control of sprouting, the first treatment should be as eyes first ‘blink’; do not wait for sprouts to develop. Air circulation both during and following treatment must be adequate to ensure an even
distribution through the crop. Stores should be kept closed for at least 48 hours following treatment, and Juno Plant Protection Ltd reiterates that closed means closed. There should be no air exchange during the closed period. Part-filled stores or stores with substantial headroom should be closed for more than 48 hours following treatment. FG
Biox-M:
•
is 100 per cent naturally occurring spearmint oil, extracted from leaves of spearmint (mentha spicata) by steam distillation
•
suppresses sprouting in potatoes by causing local necrosis of the bud meri-stem with no visible damage to the skin of the tuber
•
is approved for use on organic potato crops, and can be used in multi-use stores
•
is widely used on crops grown for the fresh market, with longevity of control well in excess of normal commercial requirements
•
can be used on processing crops stored at up to 10ºC, thus allowing store managers to address concerns about the development of acrylamide
• • •
has no harvest interval and no MRL is applied to stores as a hot fog using existing technology leaves no residue in buildings or boxes.

Root crop specialist impressed by non-genuine roller
Demos available for haulm toppers and windrower Following the ban on diquat as a desiccant, orders for Baselier Toppers, solely imported into the UK by Standen Engineering, continue to grow – with orders placed for 2021. According to Standen, the most popular models have been the rigid front- or rear-mounted 4- and 6-row LKB, and the hydraulic folding front- and rear-mounted 6-row HFTLKB machines. There is also a fully rear-mounted hydraulic folding 6-row machine – the HFDLKB – which helps customers who do not have a tractor with front PTO. Nine-row machines are also available. Row flails can be fitted but, more commonly, toppers are ordered with bed flails and centre plate deflectors to place the haulm in the wheelings
– leaving the row-top clear for any following chemical application. Baselier Toppers are lightweight and the power requirement for a 6-row model is only 150hp, minimising damage to soil structure, especially in a wet season. Standen is able to offer Baselier demonstrations on farm in the lead-up to harvest. Standen is also taking bookings for demonstrations of its new QM Windrower, which can virtually double harvesting output, the company says. It lifts and drops potatoes into the neighbouring, un-harvested row, so growers only need to use one trailed harvester to lift and clean two beds-worth of potatoes in one pass. Contact Standen to book a demo. FG

Flexibility and versatility are key in difficult times Dealing almost exclusively with potato equipment means two very busy times of year, and two very quiet for Steve Thorley Potato Equipment Ltd. Steve Thorley says: “Sticking to what we know has got us to where we are today. Taking those skills and applying them in different areas keeps the lads busy between planting and harvest.” The company is currently fitting a Standen onion intake paddle to a Grimme harvester. “Our knowledge
brought together the right used harvester and, put with the correct paddle, made this machine perfect for our customer’s requirements,” Steve explains. “The paddle isn’t designed to suit the harvester intake, but some fabricated profiles and a sturdy box ensure it does now!” Also in the workshop is a Reekie Reliance destoner, which is being completely refurbished. It has been shot blasted and will be fully repainted. “Stripping back to the chassis allows
us to fully evaluate the machine and everything going back on will be in top condition. This will make a durable, long-lasting machine for a new owner. It’s a service we offer to customers, and is sometimes more viable than considering a new machine.” The company is available yearround for service work, general
fabrication and engineering, supported by a stock of specialist Reekie spares, general engineering items and an ever-growing machine shop. FG

Bag placers ‘do the heavy work for you’
Farmer invests in complete handling solution from one firm Cambridgeshire farmer Sam Markillie bought the complete potato handling system from PACE Mechanical Handling Ltd last autumn. After completing one season, he says he is pleased with the results. Sam runs a 1,000ha arable business, largely dedicated to cereals, but some years ago he started a 45ha potato enterprise. Being able to complete the entire handling process on-site has given him more control, reduced transport costs and allowed last minute orders to be completed quickly. Sam says he is consistently turning out 10t/hr, but there is scope to increase this. The PACE system includes twin head weigher, bag placer, stitching line and robot palletiser.
Sam chose PACE as he wanted a complete, integrated system from one manufacturer. The fact that the company is a family firm, run by three sons, was a key selling point, as he is always able to get hold of someone when he needs support. PACE has “lived up to its promise”, he says, adding that the back-up and support have been excellent. Innovative features include self-cleaning weigh hoppers with automatic tare function; a sack placer which picks up every bag; and a 6 electric motor robot that can vary the stack pattern with simple program change. Going forward, there are plans to implement a service system for remote access and monitoring of the equipment, to enhance reliability and performance. FG
Agrimech bag placers are the market leaders in sack placement, allowing users to operate a complete automated packing process from start to finish, the company says. Made from stainless steel for strength and reliability, the Genesis and the Nemesis are part of the multiple-award winning range of products made and maintained by the family-run British agricultural engineering solutions company. Designed to handle a variety of packaging types for a wide range of products, the sack placers do the heavy work so you don’t have to. Simply put the empty sacks onto the machine and let the machinery do the hard work, with the placer putting the sack onto the gripper head, making for a fully automated process.

Store controller helps with CIPC challenges As a result of the CIPC ban, growers have been turning to other sprout suppressants that require the store to be sealed up for a longer period of time. To balance this with the need to keep CO2 to a minimum, Farm Electronics offers a CO2 sensor that plugs into its Cropscan Controller so the customer can set a high- and low-limit set point. When the CO2 hits the high limit set point, a store purge program runs until the CO2 hits the low limit set point. The latest generation of Cropscan Touchscreen Controller is the most user-friendly store controller on the market, according
to Farm Electronics. Benefiting from in-house software design, it can be tailored to the customers’ needs quickly and efficiently. Working now on a PLC format, it futureproofs the hardware, as software can be updated just like any smartphone or PC. It has been designed to easily replace any previous versions of the Cropscan, keeping all the same connectors. As it can connect to the internet, growers can access the store remotely via a free app downloaded to a smartphone, tablet or PC. This allows for email alerts, email reports, datalogging and remote control of the store. The Cropscan can be wired into an existing router, or alternatively a modem can be provided with a monthly sim contract. FG Exported logged store data in an Excel format on a desktop PC.
New bespoke potato system for award-winning farm Colwith Farm near Lanlivery in Cornwall recently decided to upgrade its existing cleaning, grading and packing facilities and chose a bespoke system, designed and custom-built by Cambridgeshire-based David Harrison Handling Solutions Ltd. The line, producing a capability of up to 50–70t/day depending on requirements, is a mixture of brand-new machinery, including the weigher and palletiser, complemented by completely rebuilt and fully reconditioned sections. This includes box tipping, grading, and a dry-bagging line as well as a washed bagging line incorporating a destoner, which is a requirement to supply local processors. Both the dry and washed bagging lines are then palletised using the popular
Visser PM600 palletiser. The 600-acre farm is run by the Dustow family, including fifth generation farmer Chris Dustow and his father Mike and grandfather Clive. Chris, who oversees the potato side, commented: “Finding labour at busy times can be hard and investing in a palletiser has cut staffing down from 3–4 people to just one. We chose to include a destoner to ensure perfect, stonefree, potatoes for our pasty and crisp customers. We used to do this by hand as well, but now we have a machine that will do it for us.” Colwith Farm Potatoes produces high quality potatoes for a variety of markets and local processors, including their own farm shop, as well as supplying their award-winning Colwith Farm Distillery.

Suffolk farmers praise bed mixer for nematicide granule incorporation £3.6m manufacturing facility opens in Spilsby space, whilst simplifying the picking process, according to managing director Edward Tong. “At the touch of a screen, the storage system presents the correct ‘shelf’ to user level for quick and easy access to thousands of parts which can be stored by machine type or project, for very efficient retrieval of parts,” he explains. The company is now able to increase production capacity further by adding shot blasting and powder coating processes at the new facility, ensuring increased flexibility as well as quick turnarounds and the highest quality finish on all Tong equipment. The design of the second phase building is scheduled to be finalised shortly. FG
Tong Engineering’s new £3.6 million manufacturing facility in Spilsby is now operational. The first-phase building is part of a twophase project at the seven-acre site, and boasts significantly more production capacity than both of the company’s existing factories. Among the new site’s state-of-the-art facilities are two 5t overhead cranes, shotblasting and powder coating chambers, and an advanced stock control system with fully automated storage lift. It also features expanded office space, a new staff canteen and flexible meeting space for internal and client meetings. Tong has invested in a highly intelligent parts storage lift in the stores department, saving a “staggering” amount of storage
With thoughts turning to the spring potato planting campaign, Farmers Guide spoke to two farmers who shared their thoughts on Bye Engineering’s Bed Mixer, a frontmounted nematicide granule incorporator for bed planted systems. Mike Shapland, farm manager at James Foskett Farms, which grows 400ha of potatoes annually, says: “The Horstine Microband applies and the Bed Mixer incorporates the granular products, that we use to an even consistency over the depths that we want. It also allows us to incorporate tanks for liquid starter fertiliser.” Andrew Greenwell, owner of Capel St Andrew Farms, has two of the Bed Mixers, with Microband applicators and liquid fertiliser tanks. He says the machines, although simple, are well-built, and the service from Bye Engineering is good. “Our applicators are also fitted with electronic Wizard controllers which are automatic rate controllers and allow the operators to stop the application from the cab which, with all the Red Tractor stewardship
requirements associated with using these products, is a must.” Suffolk-based Bye Engineering has been manufacturing the Bed Mixer for nearly 20 years. Available in both single and triple bed and frontor rear-mounted, the Bed Mixer has been designed specifically to ‘mix’ and not cultivate. With the huge cost of nematicides, the system eliminates expensive errors with poor placement or incorporation. Bye Engineering advises ordering soon to ensure machines arrive in time. FG

New cradle brings further benefits to tipping trailers When compared to the twin tipping ram system, the single tipping ram offers faster tipping speeds, improved tipping stability and reduced chassis/body twist, according to Larrington Trailers. Notably, you have only one pump on the tractor, which is why Larrington says it has been fitting single tipping rams as standard to all its tipping trailers for more than 25 years. The company has now taken the single tipping ram one step further, by mounting it in an oscillating cradle. This new cradle allows the
cylinder to move freely in any direction, removing all sideways stress from the cylinder. Managing director Richard Larrington commented: “Our customers have all experienced the benefits of the single tipping ram, needing only 100psi/t is positioned to lift the body directly upwards, which is less stressful than twin rams trying to push the body off the chassis, along with your fork-truck. “This new cradle is a logical step forward in perfecting a system that is already extremely good.” FG
Using IPM to successfully manage PCN With diminishing chemical options, cultural control and integrated pest management (IPM) are the preferred solutions, but successes relying on IPM are scarce, says Dr John Keer of Richard Austin Agriculture Ltd. The exception is the control and management of potato cyst nematode (PCN). Detailed monitoring of field PCN densities (counts) is central to successful PCN management. Testing regimes of yesteryear were unable to accurately assess the distribution of PCN across a field. This testing, based on one sample per 4ha, produced average PCN densities which hid both ‘hotspots’ of high PCN and areas of low or zero PCN. Sampling with GPS at 1ha per soil sample has been very illuminating, and allows combinations of different PCN control measures within a field. Examples of the control measures deployed include resistant/tolerant varieties, rotation length and nematicides. The comparison of 1ha PCN density maps, between successive

potato crops, demonstrates the effectiveness of PCN management measures. The aim is to achieve falling PCN levels. The last two decades have shown gradually decreasing PCN levels, largely due to better information from more intensive soil sampling. The occurrence of ‘surprise’ patches of PCN damage in potato crops is now rare. To get the best results from PCN resistant varieties, it is vital to know the PCN species distribution across a field. Richard Austin now provides PCR speciation for identification of G.rostochiensis and G.pallida. FG

Why plastic screens are becoming more popular Plastic screens have been available for several years, but have only recently started to become the preferred choice among produce handlers, says Andy Hubble, owner of sole manufacturer, Hub4Parts. They are much lighter to handle, particularly smaller sizes, and if you change screens regularly it brings huge benefits for health and safety and reduced downtime, Andy explains. Plastic screens are also very gentle on the crop, with standard 12mm diameter plastic links – this diameter never changes due to the extremely high wear characteristics. Links hardly ever break, and if occasionally damaged by foreign objects, they are easily replaced. The finished screen is also very robust, so sizing accuracy

is maintained and there is no stretching or distortion. Repairs are also easy and relatively low cost. Modular construction means links, side pieces or clips can be replaced as single units and rods can either be reused or, if necessary, replaced in a standard workshop. Individual components can be bought singly or as a repair kit, keeping costs to a minimum, and very little space is needed to stock repair pieces. All parts are either food-grade plastic or stainless steel, so screens will never rust and the plastic compound makes it very tolerant to temperature variation. Typically, plastic screens have twice the lifespan of comparable screens and, although slightly more expensive to buy initially, offer great value for money, Andy concludes. FG

The key to accurate liquid fertiliser placement Fertiliser placement is not a new idea, but over the past 25 years the technology has moved on significantly and become widespread. Team Sprayers has been working closely with Richard Lapage and RWL Services for a decade to develop its liquid fertiliser placement products. Team’s Danny Hubbard says successful placement requires a combined effort from Team, the manufacturer and RWL Services for
the specialist on-site fitting and commissioning. Andrew Bagnall, of Cambs Farms Growers, operates an Agricola drill with a bespoke stainless split tank system, including Flow Guard nozzle blockage detection and Spraymaster automatic rate controller, supplied and fitted by RWL Services. It is used to inject a line of liquid fertiliser next to, and just below each row of conventional onions. The drill has a Horstine Microband fitted to it, also supplied by RWL Services, for applying micro granular fertiliser to organic onions. Andrew says both applicators are “easy to calibrate” and have been “a treat to use this year”, with the controls in the cab nicely situated. Richard Lapage says it is important to produce a “simple yet robust” system that is operatorfriendly, accurate and as automated as possible. He offers robust, simple systems that can be tailored to many applications such as potato planters, veg drills, rape and cereal drills and can include auto on/ off, automatic rate controllers and outlet blockage monitors. FG
Finding natural alternatives to CIPC As the loss of CIPC requires growers to take new approaches to potato storage, ethylene gas is an effective and widely used alternative. The Restrain system uses natural ethylene gas to keep potatoes dormant and prevent sprouting. Using ethylene gas means no residue will be left in the crop or storage facility, allowing growers to deliver potatoes that can be used immediately for processing. Starting at the right time is important – the crop needs to be dry, stable and at holding temperature before you begin. Restrain says the system is easy to use, ready to plug and play within five minutes.
The Restrain generator continuously distributes a low concentration of natural ethylene gas evenly throughout the store. A supplied sensor measures the ethylene concentration in the store and automatically adjusts the gas production. It is safe and suitable for organic farming. Key benefits of the product are that it works in all stores, requires no investment in machinery or waiting times. Excellent fry colours were seen in trials, according to Restrain, and it has a capacity for a maximum of 5,000t per system, coming at a similar cost to CIPC. FG

Farm manager “delighted” with destoner Whitewater Potatoes, at Derachie Farm in Angus, took delivery of a new ScanStone destoner in 2017 and the machine has now completed three seasons with farm manager, Graham Scrimgeour (pictured). Having previously used a different brand, Graham says he is delighted with the ScanStone machine, particularly the improved running costs. The machine is a ScanStone 4 Webber destoner with three equal length webs and a long rear web, complete with a hydraulically driven scrubber web. Growing 120ha of seed, the 4 Webber is extremely versatile for the conditions at Derachie farm. Coupled with the John Deere tractor it covers 6ha per day on straightforward fields. Equally important, the machine copes with difficult and testing conditions on upland farms with grass in rotation. All machines are very well maintained
out of season, but on the occasion of an in-season breakdown the “parts department up at the ScanStone factory couldn’t have been more helpful and there was always plenty of spare parts available,” Graham says. He went on to add that this was “the beauty of buying locally made products; all the spares you could ever need are always available”. The ScanStone team were very grateful to be sent a few bags of potatoes, courtesy of Whitewater Potatoes, which were particularly welcome given the recent Covid-19 shopping restrictions. Graham also runs a ScanStone 1.8m bed tiller as part of his potato planting operation. FG

CIPC ban prompts demand for new buildings Agricultural buildings specialist Johnstruct has seen a sharp rise in the number of growers seeking new potato stores since the Chlorpropham ban, which came into force on 8th January, with all existing stocks to be used up by 8th October 2020. Concerns over crosscontamination appear to be driving the increase in demand for new stores, as CIPC residues can remain in stores for long periods of time. Johnstruct managing director Mark Allen says the company is currently working on two potato store projects and has had three enquiries in the past three weeks alone. There has also been demand for future proofing of buildings to ensure they can be used for other purposes later, which is a big focus for the company. Another key challenge for potato stores can be planning permission, Mark adds, which the company can handle on behalf of the customer. Due to
Product development ongoing despite Covid-19 The coronavirus pandemic has hit many industries hard, with some businesses being forced to close their doors either temporarily or permanently in some cases. Clifton Rubber works closely with the farming and agricultural sector, which is now more important than ever, and as such it has kept its doors open and in full operation to ensure it is on-hand to supply customers. The company has been operating in line with government guidelines to ensure safety to all staff and customers during this difficult time. With agriculture and farming being the backbone of the country, Clifton Rubber has been on-hand to support clients’ needs from start to
finish and has developed a number of new products already this year, with more to launch in the coming months. The company says it is always seeking to improve its range to ensure it offers the best possible service to its customers. Its products are used in a wide range of plant and equipment, predominantly in the root crop sector. Technology in use with Clifton products includes stone separators, planters, cultivators, harvesters and handling equipment such as hoppers, graders and fillers. In addition to its universal products it also works with customers to manufacture bespoke products for new or existing applications. FG
Covid-19, all planning permissions with an expiry date of 23rd March to 31st December 2020, have been automatically extended until 1st April 2021. As environmental issues rise up the agenda, Johnstruct also provides assistance with offsetting the environmental footprint of building projects. Planning permission often now comes with ecological stipulations, Mark adds, such as managing water attenuation, wildlife surveys and creating habitats for flora and fauna. From initial enquiry through to planning, to site preparation and build, Johnstruct offers to complete the whole process. FG

Forestry & Hedging The U430 Unimog can operate with up to 16,500kg gross vehicle weight.
Power on the land The topic for this issue’s Power on the Land is hedgecutters and forestry equipment, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Well-maintained hedges are valued for the shelter they offer and as secure field boundaries on livestock farms, but they are also increasingly recognised as an important natural habitat. Much of the progress in hedgecutter development has come from British manufacturers, including Shelbourne Reynolds. Their Powerblade range covers four series and a comprehensive range of specifications, starting with the 400 series featuring a fixed boom, cable operated controls, 5.0m reach and 50hp hydraulics. Like all Powerblades, the 400 series has a reversible rotor, the cutting width is 1.2m with 1.5m as an option, and separate pumps power the rotor and arm movements. Hydraulic power increases to 70hp for the 600, 700 and 800 series, and fan-assisted oil cooling is standard instead of being an option on the 400 models. Main controls are proportional and are operated electronically by a digital joystick. The maximum reach is 8.0m on some 800 series models, with up to 2.5m of variable forward reach available to assist operator visibility, and rearward adjustment is also available to allow the cutting head to be moved behind the tractor wheels where width is restricted. A powered log-splitter is essential equipment for farms selling firewood or simply supplying logs for the farmhouse, and the splitter available in the Major Equipment range is tractor-powered and exerts up to 14t of splitting pressure. The Major LS3000G log splitter is designed for tractors with a Cat 1 rear linkage, and it can be used on logs up to 38cm long. Design features include a carbon steel splitting wedge, the finish is galvanised and, for safety reasons, the controls require the operator to use both hands.
Major is also a leading manufacturer of rotary and flail mowers, including heavy duty machines that can cope with demanding work such as cutting firebreaks and access tracks in woodland. The MJ24-230 AgriFlail Mower has a 2.3m cutting width with flails suitable for pasture topping and dealing with crop residues, as well as heavy scrub conditions. Major Cyclone rotary mowers and shredders are available in seven working widths from 2.0–6.3m, and they feature a patented double-chop blade design that economises on power and fuel consumption. Mowers and mulchers are a Teagle Machinery speciality, with 60 different models available in a range that starts with the Mini Garden Flail mower for compact tractors and includes Forestry mulchers for tractors up to 300hp. The Forestry models include the ECF and EFX series, both with 1.4–2.5m working width, featuring fully automatic belt adjustment and designed with a double chassis, allowing either front or rear mounting. Both series can be supplied as MD versions equipped with a single transmission, and there are also DT or dual transmission versions of both. The ECF design includes a cage rotor with swinging hammers, and the mulching action on the EFX models is provided by fixed hammers with tungsten carbide tips, giving up to 35cm cutting capability. Teagle’s Forest Mulcher range also includes a 2.5m model cutting up to 50cm
and featuring a dual transmission plus a selfaligning PTO shaft. All models are equipped with wear plates made of special Hardox steel. The long list of petrol-powered chainsaw models available from Stihl includes small machines to suit occasional use for cutting firewood or garden trees, and list prices in this sector start at about £189 for a saw with a 1.6hp engine. At the other end of the scale is the large selection of forestry saws for professional use, plus the exclusive arboricultural models reserved specifically for professional tree surgeons. Engine outputs in the forestry range are from 2.4–7.3hp, weights are 4.0–7.5kg, and list prices are currently from £744–£1,458. As well as the power and weight, the prices also reflect specification features which can include a quick tensioning system for the chain, Stihl’s M-Tronic engine management system, heated handles and quickstop chain braking. continued over…
This ECF series Forestry Mulcher from Teagle Machinery has swinging flails and 2.5m working width.

Other chainsaw options from Stihl include ‘cordless’ battery-powered versions with low noise levels. Reduced sound can be a benefit when working near houses, and it can also avoid the need for users to wear ear defenders. The Makita company has been making power tools and equipment for more than 100 years and offers a comprehensive range that includes chainsaws powered by petrol engines as well as electric models using either mains or cordless battery power. High output, petrol engined chainsaws for professional use include the EA7300P45E model powered by a 2-stroke engine with 79cc capacity and 5.5hp output. The net weight with a 45cm chain bar is 6.6kg and the design includes Makita’s Scavenging Losses Rejection or SLR exhaust system for improved fuel economy, vibration damping and no-tools filter maintenance. There is also an ‘easy’ start system that includes a decompression valve to reduce the manual effort needed. An unusual addition to the Makita range is the Telescopic Pole chainsaw for lopping small to medium growth – an option for clearing low branches around the headland to provide clearance for harvesters and other large machines. The 4-stroke petrol engine is 25.4cc and the cutting head is on a pole that extends to 3.9m. The first Mercedes-Benz Unimog arrived in 1948 powered by a 25hp engine, and since then it has become one of the world’s most successful work vehicles, available with 4- and 6-cylinder engines delivering up to 299hp. Forestry is one of the industries that can benefit from the rugged

versatility offered by the Unimog, with features that include permanent all-wheel drive with three diff locks and up to 90kph transport speeds, portal axles ensure generous ground clearance, and PTO drives front and rear can operate a wide range of powered equipment. Unimog customers can choose either two or three seats in the cab, and locating the driver at the front of the vehicle with a wide windscreen
provides excellent driving visibility. Operating versatility and efficiency can be enhanced by adding up to three external view cameras, and the options list also includes an automatic gearbox that allows gear shifting without using the clutch. Tyre options are available to suit mainly on or off-road driving. Yorkshire-based South Cave Tractors is a Unimog sales and service specialist. FG

Heavy-duty mulchers make their mark Land owners and contractors looking to reclaim productive land lost to scrub, or to rejuvenate woodland through active management to improve productivity, are apparently turning to TMC Mulchers from Spaldings Forestry. Spaldings says the machines – which are also capable of dealing with stumps and brash after clear felling in preparation for re-planting – have a reputation for heavy-duty build, innovative features and userfocused philosophy. Strategic use is made of highstrength steel for durability without excessive weight, while Hardox steel is used for the double-skin hood structures. The different tungsten tooth designs are all secured by two bolts set into deep recesses to protect them from wear and they work in conjunction with up to six rows of Hardox steel counter blades to thoroughly shred and mulch vegetation. Bi-rotation PTO on selected models provides the versatility to operate on
the front or back of a tractor, while oil-filled hydrodynamic couplings on the biggest machines provide loadfree PTO start-up, vibration damping and shock/overload protection. Another feature – the pivoting gearbox and parallel linkage hydraulic top link on selected models – ensures that the correct PTO shaft angle is maintained at all times for reliable power delivery. These high-performance mulchers are complemented in the Spaldings range by a wide selection of forestry hand tools, including chain saws, brushcutters, hand tools and climbing equipment. FG
New guide bar and saw chains offer fasting cutting Stihl has introduced a newlydesigned guide bar and saw chains for 20 per cent faster cutting performance, with lighter weight. As standard fitment on the MS 271 agriculture chainsaws, the Light 04 chainsaw bar features a new innovative slim contour design that means it weighs up to 200g less than the previous Rollomatic E bar, ensuring agriculture workers can benefit from easier manoeuvrability, improved balance, and less fatigue when cutting. The new guide bars weigh 10 per cent (40cm bars) to 20 per cent (50cm bars) less than previous versions, while the slimmer profile and bar tip allows for faster
plunge cutting. As part of the new chainsaw upgrades, the MS 271 will now come fitted with the .325” RM3 PRO saw chain as standard. The 1.3mm gauge chain, which matches the 1.3mm bar groove, offers up to 20 per cent greater cutting performance when compared to .325 RS saw chains, which are 1.6mm thickness. The faster cutting comes from the thickness of the cutter tooth that is reduced from 7.7mm to 6.8mm, meaning less wood is removed from the cut for more efficiency. The MS 271 is available now with the new Light 04 and new RS saw chains. FG

New forestry range for expanding company NCD Equipment was founded by Nick Dinsdale in 2014 after discovering the TMK Tree Shear through an internet search. Having spent many years working on embankments with a chainsaw, he recognised the value of the shear and quickly built up a relationship with the Finnish manufacturer, TMK. Since debuting at Lamma ’15, NCD continues to go from strength to strength, selling around 550 TMK shears into the UK market. It remains NCD’s core product, offering a safe method of hedgerow management. Nick explains: “From inside an excavator one person can cut 350–500m a day, quickly and safely.” The TMK range is also available for hire. Nick’s team has expanded
over the past four years to include his sister Emma Jones, his cousin Andrew Sell as sub-contractor, and new sales manager Keith Evans, who joined in January and brings a wealth of experience, not only in sales but within the market, too. NCD has not only expanded its team; its product range and services have also grown. Nick explains that NCD has been awarded official dealership status for the full Auger Torque range, which includes earth drills, hedge trimmers, stump planers and log splitters. He says: “Auger Torque is a global brand that offers quality products.” NCD has also invested in a new plasma cutting table, which provides the ability to supply headstocks to the broader market. FG

Ash dieback: Safe solutions for problem trees We are all aware of the huge impact of ash dieback on land use and safety. The brittle nature of the wood has meant that farmers, contractors and estate managers have needed a way to deal with problem trees quickly and safely. Specialist forestry equipment distributor, Marshall Agricultural Engineering, says it has recently seen a significant rise in the sale of mechanical felling and shearing heads. The company has teamed up with Westtech, an industry leader in technology for providing heads that will shear from 19–55 cm, on excavators from 3–30t. Marshall’s has developed a rotator to go on the CL 260, making it a far more versatile attachment for cutting hedgerows, trees and boundaries, as well as roadside work. It is a flexible and simple installation for small trees and bushes up to 32cm in diameter. Another popular attachment is the Vahva grapples with fixed rotators, with a five or seven tine for clearing up and re-handling of wood residue. Sawheads that can be mounted
on large rotating telehandlers such as Merlo or wheeled-based excavators make machines very versatile and Marshall’s also offers many attachments to clear and tidy after operations, or for reinstalment work. Other products include smalltracked carrier and trailer cranes, winches, hydraulic processors and a range of firewood processing and handling equipment, as well as a crane trailer range. FG
Quality Machinery
Speaks for itself
Doing more with less When it comes to forestry, a Unimog can do more with less, according to South Cave Tractors, the UK’s largest Unimog dealer. With a road speed of up to 56mph, it can take more loads and offer greater fuel savings – up to 40 per cent better than a traditional tractor with far lower emissions. It can also perform more yearround duties, such as powering logging cranes, tippers and hookloaders, front and rear chippers, flails and hedge trimmers. “We are starting to see more ‘new’ Unimogs going into the forestry sector as our clients begin to see the benefits to their profitability and to the profile of their business,” says South Cave
Tractors marketing manager, Andy Cooper. The modern 4- and 6-cylinder Mercedes-Benz power units in a modern Unimog provide Euro 6 levels of emissions, with power output from 180–300hp and service intervals of 1,400 hours. With a typical purchase price comparable to a that of a large tractor, balanced against a much lower whole-of-life cost, the Unimog makes real economic sense for the professional forestry operator, South Cave says, and it has never been easier to get a new Unimog with a range of flexible and competitive finance products available from MercedesBenz Finance.

New log splitter arrives on the market In preparation for the colder months approaching, Ceres Machinery has introduced its new Ceres Log Splitter. splitting height of 650mm. The base of the splitter is fabricated from checker plate, which prevents the danger of the wood sliding. It can be used as a single piece, or in conjunction with the optional heavy-duty table. The table makes a great addition, Ceres explains, as it increases the splitter’s efficiency and ergonomics, with a height of 710mm (28in) and a width of 1980mm (6ft 6in), which provides a working space of 740mm (29in) on either side of the centrally-positioned splitter, and a top thickness of 6mm (Ÿin). The heavy-duty table is particularly useful for processing large quantities of wood, as it makes the process of loading bags, boxes or bins much quicker and easier. The table also comes complete with Category 1/2 linkage mounting and two large box section feet for stability, as well as compatibility with forklifts and loaders. The splitter is easily detachable from the table, meaning that you have the choice of using the Log Splitter alone, so you can still gain access to challenging environments.
Both the Log Splitter itself and the heavy-duty table come painted as standard. Alternatively, they are available with a hard-wearing, galvanised finish, for increased longevity and durability. Due to the splitter and the table being separate components, you can choose whether to have both or either parts with the galvanised finish. FG

The Ceres Log Splitter is recommended by all levels of firewood processors and is suitable for agricultural and commercial use. It is able to cope with a wide variety of wood with ease, including knotted, twisted and burled rings, as well as root balls, according to Ceres. Powered by a hydraulic ram which produces 20t of pressure, the log splitter is operated by the safe and easy-to-use twin-handled operation, which meets all the latest safety requirements. The legally-required twin-handle operation works its own independent spool block, with the splitter only requiring a single-acting hydraulic feed from its power source. The Log Splitter has Category 1/2 linkage mounting for use with a tractor, but alternatively can be used with a hydraulic power pack or telehandler. Ceres says the central beam is robust and strong, limiting the possibility of any bending or twisting during operation, while the speciallyshaped splitting head slices through wood effortlessly, with a maximum

The Razorback Auto-level reach mower has been engineered to reduce operator fatigue, increase productivity, and reduce costs. Auto-Level Co-Pilot technology comes as standard and ensures the main frame of the machine remains level, irrespective of the tractor angle in relation to undulating ground. As a result, the requirement to make manual adjustments to account for the unevenness of the terrain is significantly reduced. Operation is simple and precise thanks to advanced electronic proportional controls which incorporate a 3-axis joystick. The main control box features rotor on/off, level sensitivity and Auto-Level CoPilot on/off functions. The range includes a 5.5m reach machine as well as a larger 6.8m telescopic model, both available with flail and rotary head options. At 1.5m-wide, the RotaryHead 150 incorporates SoftStart triple rotors with additional mulching
blades that maintain continuous contact with vegetation during their entire 360-degree cycle, resulting in a cleaner, faster cut. The rotary blade action mulches and contains debris within the hood, making for a cleaner finish and safer working environment. Users who prefer to use a flail head have the option of the Razorback FlailHead 120 & FlailHead 150. With SoftStart rotor, fitted with heavy duty forged hammer flails, the assembly resides in a uniquely designed hood that maximises intake for efficient cutting action and output. FG

up much of the design, allowing for hard raking in both directions, moving roots and tree stumps, and clearing rocks and rubble. Sales of the product have grown rapidly over the last two years, the company says, as word spreads of its versatility and strength. “For estate management it’s the ideal tool,” according to Albutt. “You can go from moving felled trees, to clearing ditches. It’s made to be used hard.” The Site-Pro is available in four models, from 5–8ft wide, and it is available to purchase through any of Albutt’s 1,200-strong dealership network. FG
New range of stockfences introduced MRT Fencing has announced the launch of its XK MRT range of stockfences to complement its existing extensive ranges of agricultural and industrial fencing products. Although suitable for all fencing applications, the XK MRT is particularly suited to the equestrian market due to the forgiving nature of the small, smooth and extra-strong knot with no sharp edges, which reduces the risk of hide damage and fleece removal. Manufactured to BS EN10244-2 with heavy galvanised wire Class A, the XK MRT is a high tensile
fence with increased durability and a continuous vertical stay to increase rigidity when installing. XK MRT fits perfectly alongside the Masterfence range of hinge joint stockfence, and comes with the extra Ecover coating on the bottom two horizontals for additional corrosion protection. Contact your preferred dealer for further details on this or any other products in the MRT range, including premium rabbit netting, weldmesh rolls, chainlink and security fencing panels; all of which are stocked at the distribution centre in the Midlands.

Take climate change seriously when business planning Covid-19, Brexit and climate change are inescapable facts of life. The first affects daily routines but all three should be taken into account in business planning. It is particularly important for farmers to take the long view, especially when it comes to water management, suggests a leading UK irrigation company. Briggs Irrigation points out that, while long-term weather trends are notoriously hard to interpret, the shift to more intense weather patterns seems undeniable over recent decades. Back in 2008, climate researchers were able to demonstrate that, over the previous 100 years, the intensity of UK
precipitation had increased during winter and, to a lesser extent, also during spring and autumn. This was accompanied by more frequent spells of very wet weather, and an increase in total rainfall – at least during the previous 40 years. More recent analysis by the Met Office shows a similar picture; in the
most recent decade, winters have been five per cent wetter than from 1981 to 2010. In light of these trends, February 2020‘s record-breaking rainfall should have been no surprise. It also means that, on average, annual rainfall is not declining – despite some very dry years, when there have been
fewer wet days in summer and less rain during those wet days. So-called ‘summer temperature anomalies’ may exacerbate the problem, especially in the east of England. Add the challenges to supply chains presented by Covid-19 and Brexit, and the need for advanced planning is even more pressing, points out Briggs Irrigation managing director, Adrian Colwill (right). “The climate data does not support the notion there is a shortage of water but it does show the need to think further ahead. Human nature means we are not in the habit of planning for irrigation when it is raining, but that is exactly what is needed. Our factory in Corby is taking steps to ensure we have adequate supplies of components such as engines for our pumps or wheels for our irrigation booms. But there are cost implications and it is in everyone’s interest for farmers to work with us to help manage future demand. Customers will also benefit from outof-season discounts.” FG

Mole drainer offers ‘the best of both worlds’
Now is the time of year to be thinking about mole ploughing your land, and machinery brand Ceres explains how its UniMole mole drainer has been designed to offer the best of both worlds for efficient, modern farming. Mole ploughing is an important part of making sure that the drainage system of a field is working at an optimal level, ensuring the health of the crops to be grown there. As the end of harvest approaches, the opportunity for mole ploughing arises.
Machinery brand Ceres says its UniMole Mole Drainer combines a traditional trailed beam mole drainer with the speed, manoeuvrability and convenience of a mounted machine. The UniMole creates minimal surface disturbance with its unique hydraulic entry and withdrawal
system, which allows its leg to run smoothly in and out of the ground. The hydraulic ram automatically extends and contracts, which reduces ground heave and lessens the pressure exerted on the tractor. The wide beam creates a high pressure point over the foot and bullet, to prevent premature lift and shatter and reduce ground disturbance. It also allows the ceramic expander to create an even force to consolidate the subsoil. The leg creates an open slit, which allows circulating air to dry out the consolidated substrate and create an even longer lasting drain. Risk of debris and trash buildup is greatly reduced – not only by the angle of the leading edge, but
also by the large 560mm diameter serrated disc, which has ample clearance within the frame to prevent congesting and aid free rotation. The UniMole is built with longevity in mind not only for long-lasting land drains, but also the lifespan of its components, Ceres explains. These include the Hardox 450 full-length skid, leg and headstock pin inserts, which offer up to four times greater life expectancy than mild steel. The leg is also protected by a choice of two sizes of shear link, which provides a safeguard when using the UniMole in unfamiliar ground. Both main pivots have greaseable sprung steel bushes with EN24 pins. The hard-wearing ceramic expander, which comes as standard, maintains its shape throughout wear by rotating freely on its axis, and it has a convenient stowing position when out of work. The Ceres team believes that the UniMole offers the best all-round performance, whether on grassland, stubble, pre-worked or in-crop conditions, bringing an over 100-yearold design up-to-date and making it suitable for efficient, modern farming and contracting applications.

Why mole draining should not be forgotten John Pease, of Covenbook Fabrications, says farmers should consider carrying out mole draining as part of crop rotation – particularly in light of difficulties caused by extreme wet weather last autumn, plus drought in the spring, as it could help to reduce the impact of similar events in future. “This harvest hasn’t been good, because the extremely wet period from mid-September onwards meant many farmers didn’t get their winter crops in, so winter wheat, for example, was down this year on the percentage
planted,” he points out. “Then, in the springtime when we needed the rain, we didn’t get it. “Mole draining comes in because it allows the water to get away from the land.” Covenbrook has built mole drainers for a number of years, exporting them as far away as Australia. One of the key features of the Covenbrook Mole Drainer is the low horsepower requirement to pull it – a 150hp tractor can pull it comfortably at 24in deep, and managing director John says this is what is done on his own farm. FG
Dealing with dirty water After spending many years trying to find a solution to dirty water, Wroot Water says it has found a cost-effective solution that is not only simple, but also has a low power requirement. The water company’s new system comes with a low capital cost, is easy to use and suits all terrain types. It also allows slow application rates to match ground infiltration. Being modular, it is also easy to expand. Operating at 2–4 bar pressure, using a 4–6mm size sprinkler nozzle, the system gives an output of 0.8–1.1m3/hr per sprinkler, with a diameter of 20–24m. Therefore, it applies 3–4mm/hr. The system is designed for clean
or dirty water, with large solids being removed by the Wroot Water Super Simple Filter, removing all particles above 2mm. It is also selfcleaning, making it relatively low maintenance. The well-known K-Line system from New Zealand is used to spread the water after the filter. It is a modular sprinkler system used mainly for irrigating grass, as it is easy to manage and economical. With very few moving parts, there is very little to go wrong, Wroot Water says. The company is now also offering the larger K-line Pods with sprinklers to handle larger solids, as these come with nozzles up to 12mm in diameter. FG

Growing shift towards long-term drainage investment
Mole draining to improve soil conditions Predictions that this year would be good for moling have so far proved correct, particularly on grassland and oilseed rape ground, says Hankins Engineering Ltd. On a rotational basis, mole draining can help to rectify poor drainage and improve soil structure. It can also be carried out on undrained heavy clay soils, providing it is possible to mole into ditches or a gravelled headland drain. Mole draining is an essential part of a min-till, low surface disturbance plan and will help to improve crop and soil health. Draining and moling can double the yield of a wheat crop, and go a long way towards recouping money spent on improving the soil. With
the move towards spring cropping, there is also the advantage of a larger window for draining, moling and ditching to help improve soil structure. Hankins’ Maidwell Moler range has strength, weight and a unique pitch adjuster to produce a perfect mole. It is a robust beam construction with replaceable wear skids and high ground clearance. Hankins now build single-, twin- and three-leg machines, mounted and trailed. Press wheels can be fitted to all Hankins molers, a popular addition this year as they help to level the surface for future cultivations and also improve the fissuring of the clay soil, allowing water to easily get down to the mole channel. FG
MAIDWELL MOLERS
Climatic events have played a major part in the fortunes of many over the past 12 months and questions are now being asked about how to mitigate the cost of similar events in future. Drainage specialist William Morfoot Ltd says it is seeing a shift in the prioritisation of land drainage investment, after excess rainfall last year became a critical issue for the countryside. James Frary, of William Morfoot, comments: “2020 has seen unprecedented levels of new enquiries relating to future land drainage investment. Many farms have been badly affected by excessive rainfall last year, which caused big problems with autumn crop establishment and root crop harvesting.” Mr Frary continues: “In the last few months, we have had a number of major UK farm businesses approach us to work with them to implement and deliver a 5–10-year drainage program. “The farms have recognised that they have underinvested in land drainage for a long time, and
they are determined to futureproof their farms for the post-BPS era. Protecting margins whilst also improving their soil structures going forward is a really important priority that we are repeatedly hearing at the moment.” William Morfoot offers a comprehensive and precisionbased scheme design and installation service for new land drainage schemes. It also provides ditch restoration and water course management services and operates across the whole of the UK. FG

Calf health plan boosts growth rates Wrexham farm vets have seen significant reductions in calf deaths due to scours and pneumonia, as well as higher growth rates, since introducing immunity-led prevention plans for members of its calf club. In less than two years, dairy farmers who have taken part in the Daleside Veterinary Group calf club in Wrexham have seen significant improvements in youngstock health, by prioritising immunity-led prevention. Veterinary surgeon Dr Lara Robinson says: “Not only are morbidity and mortality rates down from scours and pneumonia, but our members are also achieving higher growth rates.” As a result, one member has been able to reduce antibiotic use for treating pneumonia by 47 per cent, while another cut usage by 10 per cent. Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD, or pneumonia) is the number one
cause of calf deaths from weaning to 10 months of age, and research has shown that lung damage in the first eight weeks of life can decrease first lactation milk production by 509 litres. For example, in a 200-cow herd, assuming 50 replacements are entering the milking herd per year, at a minimal estimated infection level of 34 per cent, the production loss would be 8,653 litres in the first lactation. In the worst-case scenario, with an infection level of 83 per cent, 21,378 litres would be lost during the first lactation, costing £5,772.06. Daleside Veterinary Group uses MSD Animal Health’s Calf Health Checklist each year to evaluate
youngstock units and prioritise key areas for improvement. Airspace volume, building temperature and humidity, housing density, air flow, handling and mixing, transport and weaning all influence youngstock health and performance.
Time must be invested to make improvements to these areas, but Dr Robinson says immunity-led prevention can be accelerated through good colostrum management and robust vaccination practices. FG
TIPS FOR IMMUNITY-LED PREVENTION
• All calves should have a minimum of 10 per cent of their bodyweight
in good quality colostrum within six hours of birth, ideally within two hours. This should then be followed by a similar volume within 12 hours of birth.
• For pneumonia prevention (and to limit permanent lung damage), vaccinate calves as early in life as possible. Do so ahead of expected infection pressure to give the immune system time to respond.
• Follow instructions for
vaccine administration closely, otherwise the regime may fail to work properly.
• Measure the temperature
of your fridge and make sure it is working correctly.
• Always consult your vet for
help or training if you are not 100 per cent confident.

Colostrum quality starts with the dam Ensuring newborn calves receive enough good quality colostrum as soon as possible after birth is widely understood to be paramount for rearing a healthy calf. Wynnstay calf and youngstock specialist, Millie Hendy, says this all starts with the management of the mother. Understanding the quality of colostrum being produced allows you to work backwards and see where there may be issues with the dam, Miss Hendy explains. High quality colostrum can be defined as having
at least 50g/litre immunoglobin (IgG). Using a colostrometer or refractometer to measure the IgG is essential to ensure the calf receives enough passive immunity from its mother, she adds.
“It is also important that the colostrum is managed appropriately between collection and administration, reducing the possibility of bacterial contamination. Calves fed colostrum with extremely high levels of bacteria (>1,000,000cfu/ ml) have decreased serum IgG concentrations at 24 hours, whereas calves fed colostrum with higher bacteria levels (100,000cfu/ml) achieve better passive transfer. “Colostrum that is heat treated (pasteurised) at 60ºC reduces the bacterial count, preserving the IgG concentration, therefore increasing the calf’s absorption rate and ultimately reducing its risk of illness.” The process of colostrum production in the udder begins several weeks before calving and stops abruptly when the calf is born. The way the dry cow is managed can greatly impact the quality of colostrum produced. “When thinking about the environmental impact the dry period has on colostrum, stress is one of the biggest factors. Stocking rate, feed availability, temperature and group changes all have an impact on oxidative stress in the cow, which impacts
immunity and possibly the quality of colostrum produced. “Selenium and vitamin E are involved in immune function and have been proven to influence colostrum quality when they are deficient. Industry trials have shown cows fed a pre-partum diet are deficient in these, produce less colostrum and lower total mass of colostral IgG in comparison to cows fed the same diet but supplemented with injections of vitamin E and selenium.” It is important to supply adequate vitamins and minerals in the dry period, either through bolus, buckets or TMR minerals. Furthermore, whilst vaccinating dry cows for rotavirus, coronavirus and E. coli can improve the quality of the colostrum, it is essential that all vaccinations and boosters take place within the recommended time window, as evidence suggests those administered too close to calving can reduce antibody levels. “If you get the management and nutrition of the cow correct, you’ll reap the rewards later down the line with quality colostrum to get the next generation off to the best start,” Miss Hendy concludes.

New mixer unit allows greater control of ration Consistency is the key to a good ration mix and, ultimately, herd performance. To help achieve this, Bernard van Lengerich Maschinenfabrik (BvL) has introduced a low-cost control unit that allows both the mixing time and mixing speed to be displayed. The new BvL V-Connect Mixer Control is available across the complete range of BvL diet feeders and can also be retro-fitted to current machines in the field. The Mixer Control is designed to provide the operator with a simple system by which they can display both the mixing auger speed and total revolutions, in addition to displaying and controlling the mixing time. Plus, it includes an integrated hours counter. Typically, this functionality is only found on diet feeders fitted with higher specification control systems, often incorporating a weighing system and automated shut-off.
The display shows the mix ing time at the top, the mixing speed in revolutions per minute at the bottom left and the total number of revolutions at the righ t.

The BvL Mixer Control digital display is built into the electrical operation of the mixer wagon and shows the mixing times and speeds of the mixing augers.
Instead of having to just rely on the PTO speed setting, by being able to accurately monitor and adjust the mixing auger speed relative to load density, this gives the operator far more repeatable control of the eventual ration mix consistency, helping to boost and maintain herd performance. FG

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago Twenty five years ago in September 1995, the Farmers Guide previewed Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s 22nd Power in Action demonstration, where more than 7,500hp would be seen pulling at least 170 plough bodies, with power take-off and land wheel-driven cultivation machinery hard at work on the Otley clay soil. Tractors from almost every manufacturer and importer would be at Power in Action, including the latest models from New Holland, Fiat, Massey Ferguson, John Deere, Caterpillar, Lamborghini, Renault, Unimog, and the very latest JCB Fastrac.
Ernest and Percy Tapp formed County Commercial Cars, at Fleet in Hampshire, in 1929. Their first enterprise was to increase the load-carrying capacity of lorries and vans by adding a second rear axle and later, during World War Two, the company was involved in the development of lightweight army tanks. The first County tractor – the CFT crawler, based on the Fordson E27N tractor – appeared in 1948, and their first 4wd tractor – the County Four-Drive – was launched in 1954. Based on the New Fordson Major Diesel, the County Four-Drive was skid steered. The County Super-4, introduced in 1961, was the first of many County four
September was very much the month for field demonstrations, with the East of England Agricultural Society holding its Cultivations 95 event in Bedfordshire. The latest Dalbo Dinco stubble cultivator, imported from Denmark by Lawrence Edwards, was among a number of new machines at the event. A full range of tractors would be working on a mixture of medium and heavy land, and Fyfe Electronics would be showing their new moisture tester for hay and straw. For something completely different, two farming families near Ipswich held a vintage combine event, where eight old combines – some dating back to the 1940s – were put through their paces. An Allis Chalmers Allcrop 60 struggled to take most of its 5ft cut in a very
heavy crop of wheat where, among others, visitors were able to watch a Massey Harris 21, a 5ft cut Aktiv, a Claas Super and a Massey Harris 735. In Farm Machinery News, Flexicoil had launched a new 5m hydraulically folded drill combination, and Pan Anglia was offering a 6in heavy duty bench grinder for £48. One of the first John Deere 8000 series tractors, with a 210hp engine and a £75,000 price tag, had been delivered to a Bedfordshire farm, and a Cambridgeshire dealer had taken an order for 10 Case IH tractors and three axial flow combines. Farmers Guide correspondent Ernest Cozens objected to a letter published in a national newspaper which slated the Royal Show, suggesting that with all the non-
County tractors
wheel drive tractors to have four equal-sized wheels. The 65hp County 654, which replaced the Super 4 in 1964, was the first model to have a model number indicating the horsepower of the 4wd tractor. The FC654 version of the tractor had a front cab, rear load carrying platform suitable for mounting a sprayer or fertiliser distributor and rear hydraulic linkage. The 75hp County 754 (illustrated) and FC754, which replaced the 674 in 1968 and made for the next seven years, were based on the Ford Force 1000 range of tractors. The 4000-Four, also made between 1968 and 1975 was the first County 4wd
tractor with smaller front wheels. Select-o-Speed transmission was an optional extra for the 4000-Four, which was basically a Ford 4000 with a single prop shaft drive to the front axle. The FC 1006 was based on a Ford 5000 skid unit and a later model built on a Ford 6000 skid unit appeared in 1975. County Commercial Cars had produced around 40 different models of 4wd tractors when the business was taken over by the Benson Group, who also owned Bamfords, in 1987. However, by this time all the major tractor companies were building their own 4wd models, and production of County models continued
agricultural stands at Stoneleigh farmers should avoid the event. In reply, Ernest pointed out that the Royal had to change with the times and that non-farming visitors could improve their agricultural education. He also commented on the payment of £311 per hectare for set aside land and that oilseed rape and hemp could be grown on this land, pointing out that the crop could be used by the car industry. And finally... Farmers who needed to change tractor wheel widths would be able to benefit from an entry in the new exhibits and invention competition at the East of England Show. The Wheel Carter – a silver medal winner – was a device for the ease and safe handling and changing of large dual wheels. FG
on a limited scale until 1994, when the Benson Group was taken over by SEM Engineering Ltd at Basildon – but within a year they had ceased trading. FG
The County 754 model number indicated that it had a 75hp engine and 4wd.

Agrifac appoints new parts manager
Cargill UK strengthens ruminant team
John Lee has joined Agrifac to head up the parts team, overseeing and handling all Agrifac, Holmer and Zunhammer parts enquiries, stock and management. Since joining the team in July, John has got stuck into his new role, already implementing new procedures with the aim of improving and streamlining the parts offering to customers, Agrifac says.
Two new ruminant technical sales managers have been appointed to Cargill’s UK team. Based in South Yorkshire, Alex Goldthorpe is now responsible for technical sales support for Cargill customers in the east of England, from Northumberland to Kent. Alex has a background in a family feed milling business in South Yorkshire. She studied agricultural science at the Royal Agricultural College. Prior to joining Cargill in June, she had a technical and sales role with a feed additive company, responsible for training and account management.
He joins the company from a local machinery dealership and has a wealth of experience in parts management. Prior to parts management roles, he ran his own contracting business for more than 20 years. Agrifac says it looks forward to collaborating with John in the coming weeks to ensure the best possible service to customers. John is available on the normal office number: 01354 660552, or via email: j.lee@agrifac.com
New territory managers for Bednar Robert Wilmshurst and Sam Illingworth (below) have joined Bednar UK as territory managers, covering the south and north of England respectively. Robert, covering the south, was formerly employed by a major cultivator manufacturer and explained that he has joined Bednar because he believes the product range offers significant benefits for UK farmers. “Bednar products are designed to be flexible and versatile, and they suit all types of establishment regime and cope in a wide range of soils
and weather conditions,” he said. “They are attractively priced with low running and ownership costs and I believe the brand will grow rapidly in the UK.” Sam, covering the north, came to Bednar from New Holland dealer RD Webster, where he was the Bednar brand specialist. “I have a lot of experience of Bednar products, and feedback from customers when they were demonstrated was extremely positive, especially in terms of the performance and build quality,” he explained. “The attitude of the Bednar management team is excellent, and when customers or dealers suggest potential improvements, they always listen and often incorporate the modifications on future models.”
Limagrain expands commercial team Plantbreeder Limagrain has expanded its UK commercial team with the appointment of two new national roles. John Spence is the company’s new forage crops product manager and Tom Barker joins Limagrain UK as cereals and pulses product manager. John Spence brings nearly 20 years’ agronomy experience to the role. He joined Limagrain in 2006 and held the role of forage crops seed sales specialist in the Midlands and northern England. From a Lincolnshire arable
farming family, John studied agriculture at the University of Nottingham. He then spent five years with Eurofins UK as trials agronomist for arable and forage crops before joining Limagrain. In his new role, John will manage Limagrain’s grass seed brands; Monarch and Sinclair McGill. Tom Barker has more than 12 years’ trading experience in the UK arable sector and working as an assistant seed manager. He is from a Suffolk-based farming family. Based at Limagrain’s wheat breeding centre at Woolpit near Bury St Edmunds, Tom’s focus will be on growing the business with proven varieties such as; LG Skyscraper, LG Spotlight, Tundra and LG Diablo, and with the launching of new varieties.
Meanwhile, Helen Rogers is providing technical sales support to Cargill’s key customers in the Midlands, south west England and Wales. Based in Cheshire, Helen has a degree in bio-veterinary science from the University of Liverpool and a postgraduate diploma in ruminant nutrition from Harper Adams University. She was a ruminant sales specialist for feed and animal health companies in the north west and worked as a technical adviser for a national feed additives company, providing support for UK and export customers.
Territory manager role for Claydon Drills Claydon Drills, which designs and manufactures the Opti-Till direct strip till seeding system, has appointed Jacob Darby as territory manager for south east England and Scandinavia. As part of the company’s strategic development plan, Jacob will be developing new distribution channels and sales in areas where Claydon products have traditionally had a strong following. In the UK, where he reports to sales manager Rob Dunk, he will be supporting existing customers and dealers in Kent, East Sussex, and West Sussex. Jacob studied at the Royal Agricultural University from
2005–2008 before working as a trainee for potato producer NNPG. He went on to work for Norfolk-based Soil Fertility Services Ltd, then spent a year in Austria launching and running an olive oil manufacturing and retail business. Jacob joined Claydon in 2011 as assistant UK sales manager and was subsequently promoted to export manager. Commercial director Spencer Claydon says: “[Jacob’s] experience of our machinery, together with the requirements of UK and Scandinavian farmers will help us to increase our presence in these important regions at a time when the sector faces legislative, economic and weather-related challenges.”
Case IH makes two new appointments Two new members of staff have been welcomed to the Case IH team – Lucy Thompson as digital marketing specialist and Cian O’Leary as demonstrations assistant. Lucy started her new role in July after graduating from Harper Adams University with a first-class BA(Hons) degree in Agri Business. She was brought up on the
family’s mixed farm in Lincolnshire, where enterprises include beef cattle, sheep and arable crops. She is pictured at a Bednar demonstration day organised for Ernest Doe Power sales and service teams, at the dealer’s Ulting depot. Meanwhile, Cian O’Leary has taken up the position of demonstrations assistant, and is also training to become a Magnum AFS Connect specialist. Cian recently completed his BSc Cons Degree in Agricultural Mechanisation at Harper Adams and is from Ireland, where his family is involved in agriculture – enterprises include a silage contracting business.

About People Technical specialist joins Adama UK development of a pipeline of postpatent herbicide combinations and to launch Adama’s new ‘Alomax’ range of black-grass herbicides. Dr Lankford has more than 30 years’ experience in UK agriculture, the first 15 of which were spent in R&D working for organisations such as NCH Europe Ltd, Rhône-Poulenc Agriculture Ltd and Aventis. He has subsequently held commercial roles with Bayer and KWS. Dr Lankford’s appointment follows the promotion of David Roberts, Adama’s outgoing herbicide technical specialist, to the position of European product strategy manager.
Produce World and Burgess Farms’ chairman, William Burgess, has been appointed as the new BASIS chairman, and will formally take over from Chris Clarke after his seven-year tenure came to an end on 16th April. William originally trained and practised as a chartered accountant before joining the family business, becoming CEO of Produce World and Burgess Farms in 2000 and chairman in 2015. His new role involves networking with key
stakeholders, chairing board meetings, giving a strategic overview and offering insight into retail and consumer perspectives. Brexit and the incoming Agriculture Bill will pose a big challenge to BASIS members and its associated industries, but William hopes that this will also bring opportunity to help shape policy. “The UK has never had its own bespoke agricultural policy, so now is the time to ensure BASIS is known to key policy makers, while the government is more open to change,” he says.
Red Tractor appoints crops sector chair Guy joins Red Tractor after decades of experience as an advocate and leader in the British agricultural industry, and a background in practical farm business management and award-winning conservation. He has also served as NFU Governance Board Member and AHDB Crops Board Member.
