New Holland supplier Kemper makes some of the best rotary maize headers in the business. Fit one to a New Holland Forage Cruiser and you have a powerful combination.

For 2020 T H WHITE is running an FR650 Forage Cruiser with a 10 row Kemper header attached as a demo unit.  It will be available from mid-September for demonstrations anywhere across the counties covered by T H WHITE, so if you would like to experience it in action just contact your local sales rep who will book a demo for you and offer guidance on the options.  Be prepared to be impressed!

Two of the most versatile Manitou telehandlers have just landed at T H WHITE Agriculture, in stock and ready to tackle a huge variety of tasks on your farm. 

First up is the new Manitou MLT 737-130 PS+ ST4. Dedicated to agricultural material handling, it has a lifting height of 6.88m and a lifting capacity of 3.7t, as well as being designed for COMFORT! It has a completely new cab featuring easy access, optimal visibility, a JSM^® (Joystick Switch and Move) mounted on a floating armrest, Double Switch Buttons (DSB) and soundproofing ideal for long periods of use. Strong performance is delivered by the 129 hp Deutz engine and Powershift Plus transmission. Limited slip differential, ground clearance of 41 cm and automatic dust removal system for the radiators are perfectly adapted to intensive agricultural use.

Another all-rounder is the Manitou MLT 635-140 V+ which scores on many of its technicalities, too – such as its 3.5t lift and 6m lift height from a compact frame, plus the same JSM^® joystick control as its larger brother.

Anyone who has tried a Manitou telehandler will testify not only to the rugged performance of these machines, but also to their incredible adaptability. The secret lies in the huge range of Manitou attachments which can literally make your telehandler the most useful piece of kit in your yard – all of which can be obtained through T H WHITE.

Among the useful accessories is the  Big Bag Handler which makes it easy to lift and load heavy bags in safety. Other easily-fitted attachments include specialised forks for every kind of bale, silage or manure, clamps, grabs, jibs with hooks and lifting platforms. There’s even a selection of scrapers, sweepers and cleaners like the powerful Pickup Sweeper.

You can see the full range of attachments at manitou.com/en. To try Manitou MLT telehandlers, speak to your sales rep or request a demo at thwhiteagriculture.co.uk/get-in-touch.

James Bell has built a reputation around the Tetbury area for doing things a little differently and taking an innovative approach to farming.

As well as running his own farm at Shipton Moyne where his family has farmed for around 40 years, he has grown the business through a series of amalgamations, providing what he likes to call ‘Farming Solutions’ to other farms in the locality. It’s a form of contracting, but not in the usual way.

Instead, James offers his services where other farmers may be struggling to cope with the workload in a particular season, or perhaps where seasoned farmers want to stand back a little but not retire completely. It’s a system that has worked efficiently, enabling farmers in the area to make the most of their land without the investment needed for machinery that may not be utilised full time.

To support his activities James has built up an impressive line-up of machinery and has been a customer of T H WHITE for many years. Much of the equipment in his shed today has been supplied by T H WHITE through Knockdown-based sales rep Andy Taylor, including two Väderstad Tempo maize drills, five New Holland crop cutter balers, as well as New Holland combine and forage harvesters.

Sometimes an item from T H WHITE’s extensive selection of quality used machinery fits the bill perfectly, and this was the case recently with a Ziegler hydraulic folding maize header. In typical pioneering spirit James is planning to use the header on his CR9080 tracked combine instead of his forage harvester, a trend that is becoming increasingly popular.

“With a forager the whole crop is harvested,” says James, “but with a combine you can just take the grain from the cob and leave the rest in the field. That gives you a quality feed to add to forage.

“Using an adaptor plate the same header can be fitted to the forage harvester and the cob can be chopped for maize silage. Either way you can get the yield you want from the maize crop, which also makes a good break crop instead of growing rape”

If you have a maize crop ready for harvest this autumn anywhere within 30 miles range of Tetbury you might like to ask James to bring it in for you. Call him on 01666 502486.

And, if you are looking for top value, quality used and stock equipment, why not take a look at what T H WHITE has on offer? There’s a selection on the back page of White’s World and you can view the whole stock at www.thwhiteused.co.uk.

Big kit has long lead times and by thinking ahead you will be able to ensure not only that machinery you need is built and delivered on time, but ordering early will allow you to specify all the exact options you want.

And, because early orders also help our business planning, we are able to offer some great discounts, finance plans and other incentives that won’t be available later.

If you want to be at the head of the queue, talk to your T H WHITE sales representative now who will be happy to advise on the best choices for your business and ensure your machinery is reserved on the very best terms available.

New Holland has set a new benchmark for mid-range combine harvesters with the introduction of the CH7.70 – the first in a new line that introduces the concept of ‘Crossover Harvesting’.

By bringing its outstanding Twin Rotor^® separation technology together with its proven large diameter threshing drum, New Holland now offers users the best of both worlds in a machine designed to deliver up to 25% higher throughput than a conventional combine in this segment. The two-drum threshing system features a 600mm diameter drum for gentle threshing that delivers very high grain and straw quality.  The real benefit comes in combining this with a specially designed new version of New Holland’s Twin Rotor^® separation technology. The 21-inch, 3.45-metre-long Twin Rotor system provides the largest separation area in the segment, at 2.9m².

Pioneering the Crossover Harvesting brand, the new CH7.70 sits between New Holland’s mid-range conventional, and flagship rotary models, with a machine that is equally at home in all crops and conditions, delivering consistent, high performance in all conditions for arable farmers and contractors alike.

The CH7.70 features the proven Cursor 9 engine that develops 374hp – 34hp more than the CX6.90 – for powerful and fuel-efficient performance in all conditions. Patented HI-eSCR 2 technology enables it to comply with Stage V emissions standards too. With only four greasing points, daily maintenance is quick and simple and the large service door on top of the straw hood door provides easy access. 

Only minimal changes in threshing setting are needed when switching between different crops, which can be carried out in less than 20 minutes.

The CH7.70 can be equipped with a range of Varifeed™ headers of up to 9.15 metres, including a brand-new 8.53-metre Varifeed version specifically developed for this range. The front face of the feeder housing can be mechanically adjusted to ensure perfect alignment with the header, thereby optimizing the angle for each different header to deliver smoother, layered crop flow, ensuring the best flow whatever the crop.

The cleaning capacity of the CH7.70 is perfectly matched to its high threshing and separation throughput. It features the unique New Holland Triple-Clean™ cascaded cleaning system, which boosts cleaning capacity by up to 15% with the addition of an extra cascade in the centre of the grain pan. The double flight cross auger also transfers grain to the elevator faster

Working on sloping ground is no problem for the CH7.70 either, thanks to the SmartSieve™ system, which automatically compensates for side slopes up to 25%. For sustained performance in hilly conditions, a Laterale version, which uses a robust automatic levelling system, provides transversal slope correction of up to 18% on both sides.

Driver comfort and has not been overlooked either. The 3.12m³ Harvest Suite cab is much larger than its nearest rival, and you can enjoy all that space in sound-insulated and air conditioned comfort. The wide, curved glass area offers a perfect view of the entire header and unloading spout.

Like all New Holland combines, the CH7.70 is covered by the standard three-year extended warranty (1,200 engine hours) which applies to the engine, driveline and after-treatment system. Protection like that is enormously valuable in providing peace of mind for the user, not only in terms of confidence in the exceptional quality of the product, but also in providing clear ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ for the buyer.

If you would like to find out more about the Crossover Harvesting concept and why the New Holland CH7.70 could be right for you. you, contact your T H WHITE sales representative

As the days shorten heralding winter weather, we have gathered this round-up of some of our leading brands that can help to make your life easier while your animals are indoors.

First off we have two of the most useful Manitou telehandlers for which we have highlighted some of the key features. A tough and reliable telehandler is a basic essential whatever size or type of farm you operate, but especially for livestock farming. Whether moving bales, loading feeders or straw blowers, clearing muck, or for a host of general uses, one of the most versatile machines is the Manitou MLA-T 533-145 V+ pivot steer.

Since its launch at Agritechnica in 2017 it has proved its worth as a powerful, highly manoeuvrable machine offering exceptional levels of driver comfort. Its slim dimensions and small turning circle allow it to enter confined spaces, while excellent boom control and powerful tearout force place it among the most capable telehandlers in its class. Some of the points we think set it apart are shown here, but you really need to try it for yourself!

There are times when simple is best, and that can particularly apply to the challenging conditions in which agricultural machinery often has to operate.

The Manitou MLT 630-105 is a rugged, rigid chassis telehandler capable of lifting a 3,000kg load to more than 6m. Four-wheel steering makes it highly manoeuvrable. A single piece cab door offers easy access to the well thought-out cab which features armrest-mounted joystick control.

The 101hp Deutz Stage IV diesel engine is mounted on the right side making it possible for a single opening panel to give access for easy maintenance and filter changes.

Kuhn Primor straw blowers and all-fodder feeders are available in hitch-mounted or trailed models with capacities from 2m³ to 5.5m³.

One of the larger models – the Primor 5570 M can be loaded with up to three large round bales (max 4ft 11in diameter) and is quick to load thanks to the hydraulically-operated tailgate. All Primor machines are equipped with an all-fodder feed rotor which is equally efficient in distributing all types of feed including hay, haylage and even silage without any ‘milling’ effect.

Even with a 60ft range for blowing straw for bedding, the Primor always delivers an even quantity of straw per unit of bedding area which reduces the risk of litter overheating. The straw structure is preserved, thus maintaining full absorbency and extending litter life for cow comfort. The rotating chute can be fingertip controlled through 300 degrees from the tractor cab to reach awkward areas.

Kuhn Profile TMR mixer wagons are among the most advanced in the business.

Not only will they rapidly chop whole bales and fibrous product down to the optimum length specified by nutritionists, but they also mix quantity of each ration component using an accurate weighing system to match the precise needs of each animal. The perfect mix of rations results in a healthier herd, reducing metabolic disorders. Available in capacities from 4-20m³, the Profile range features either a single or twin auger depending on size, designed for high performance when chopping long fibres, as well as preserving wetter fodders such as maize silage.

The PROFILE 2CL DL mixer wagon features Kuhn’s K-NOX technology as standard in which the mixing augers are built entirely from an alloy containing stainless steel and Ferrites. This makes them highly resistant to acidic material, wear and abrasion. K-NOX augers are an option on the 2 CS mixer wagon.

For more information about Manitou telehandlers, Kuhn Primor blowers and feeders, or Profile TMR mixer wagons, either contact your T H WHITE sales representative who will be happy to guide you through the choices or arrange a demo, or request a demo online at www.thwhiteagriculture.co.uk/get-in-touch.

From Kverneland, the trusted and long-established Norwegian manufacturer of agricultural implements, sold from our Hereford branch, we have selected the 863/864 range of bale chopper feeders and the Siloking trailed compact diet feeder range.

The Kverneland 864 bale chopper (above) has grown its dimensions in all aspects with a massive 4.2m³ chamber size. It handles 2.1m diameter round bales and its longer body design provides even better support and stability for large square bales.

With a completely redesigned drum and flywheel configuration, it offers significantly higher throughput than earlier designs and is capable of impressive blowing distances of up to 25m.

Kverneland Siloking trailed compact diet feeders (below) are ideal for use in more constricted spaces where their short chassis makes them highly manoeuvrable. With a capacity up to 15m3, they use a single turbo auger to chop and mix the feed.

While these compact models are perfect for smaller livestock farms, Kverneland also produces much larger diet feeders with two and even three turbo augers, including truly massive feeders up to 45m³ capacity suited to units of c.600 cows. Completing the range are self-propelled diet feeders.

Kverneland feeding and bedding equipment is available from T H WHITE Hereford only. For more information on any Kverneland item, or to arrange a demo, call Ben Linton on 07495 114479, Will Farr on 07495 114325, or go to www.thwhiteagriculture.co.uk/get-in-touch.

The many variables in arable farming today present a constant round of challenges to the farmer. No sooner has the final field been harvested than thoughts turn to autumn tillage and seeding to make the most of stubble to create well-prepared, fertile seed beds. Quite apart from the unpredictable weather which seems to be here to stay, there are the issues of soil type, topography, the crop being planted and increasingly aggressive weeds.

Well, we are pleased to say that we’re here to help. We supply an extensive range of ploughs, power harrows, precision seeders and seed drills, all from the world’s leading quality brands. Many of the implements you are likely to need we already have in stock, so talk to any of our sales reps, or contact any of our Agricultural branches and we’ll guide you to the kit that’s right for you. We can arrange demos too, so call us today.

Here are some of our top selling items so you can see what has worked for many of our key customers…

Kuhn power harrows are characterised by robustness and build quality. Available in working widths from 1.2m to 8m, they can be used solo or combined with a seed drill. A wide selection of tines and equipment, in addition to a large range of rotor speeds, make these power harrows implements that you can rely on in highly variable conditions. Most Kuhn power harrows are equipped with duplex gearboxes, allowing you to choose the rotor speed most suited to your needs, while the entire driveline is protected by a cam type cut-out clutch.

Kuhn Venta integrated pneumatic seed drills can be used in combination with Kuhn’s power harrows and disc cultivators. They can be set up easily for various seeding conditions and many settings can even be adjusted from the tractor seat while working.

A turnbuckle on either side of the drill makes it possible to control seed depth accurately to working conditions. Seed rate can either be adjusted from the cab, or controlled by an application map.

Väderstad’s reputation has resulted from the company’s focus on essential drilling and cultivation tasks. Väderstad designs its machines to create optimal soil conditions to maximise yields. Build quality and durability are key factors in the Väderstad offering, which spans an extensive range of cultivators, harrows, rollers and rapid, precision seed drills. One of the most popular drills is… The Väderstad Rapid RDA600S. This is the seed drill that carries out seedbed preparation, levelling, drilling and re-consolidation in one pass. This model comes with the hardy System Disc Aggressive, track eradicator tines, bout and pre-em markers, interactive depth control, a tramline kit, reinforced tyres, work lights, wireless Gateway technology and E-control as well as Väderstad’s SeedEye – a unique calibration system for seed counting and monitoring.

New Holland’s range of PHV ploughs offer outstanding all- round performance. Compatible with tractors of up to 225hp, this range is equipped with a heavy duty headstock and 150mm diameter pivot shaft and needle bearings. All models are equipped with a hydraulic alignment cylinder as standard and the working width can be adjusted between 30-50cm – on the go if desired.

The intelligent use of field stubble can bring significant agronomic benefits to arable farmers, and transform what was once considered a waste product into something highly nutritious for the soil. 

The incorporation of stubble, straw and other plant residues assists in speeding up decomposition for quicker nutrient release. Furthermore, it enables farmers to utilize soil moisture just after harvesting to establish an optimal climate in which microbes can thrive and work best.

Employing shallow cultivation directly after harvest encourages lost and dormant seeds to germinate, enabling a seedbed to be established for intermediate crops such as mustard and radishes. At the same time it removes the main source of nourishment for slugs – thereby acting as a pest control measure.

The New Holland STC300RS heavy-duty stubble cultivator has a 3m working width and offers numerous advantages, including rigid tines for an even working depth of between 6 – 25cm and is fitted with wing shares, to ensure a full cut across the entire working width.

The HE-VA Stealth  is a medium depth, low disturbance subsoiler. Its scalloped, straight, front cutting discs cut through the surface ahead of the low disturbance legs to minimise soil burst and in turn grassweed germination. Legs are staggered in 2 rows to allow residue flow through the machine, reducing the tractor HP requirement. Leg spacing is standard at 500mm but can be altered to 450mm, 500mm or 550cm for differing soil types and conditions.

Unique to the HE-VA King Rolls is the SAT system which ensures the adjustable weight transfer is spread evenly across the full working width. It’s available in widths from 12.3m to an incredible 20.3m, yet when folded for transport has a width under 3m.

The Kverneland Accord E-Drill Compact is designed for seedbed preparation, re-compaction and sowing, all in one pass. With a hopper capacity of up to 1,400 litres, the E-Drill compact has a centre of gravity close to the tractor to reduce the lifting power requirement and is available in 3.0, 3.5 and 4m widths – from our Hereford branch.

The Sky Easy Drill is specifically designed as a no-till drill but works equally well in minimum tillage conditions, on consolidated ploughed soil and when drilling into cover crops.

This model has three hoppers allowing three different products to be drilled at two different depths. Individual coulter selection, choice of seed spacing and alternative seed distribution are all controllable from the cab and the 3.5 degrees coulter angle dramatically reduces soil disturbance retaining as much moisture as possible in establishment. With 250kg of coulter pressure, this drill more than lives up to its direct drill nature and speed and accuracy is better than ever!

Bednar is a new franchise for T H WHITE – part of a new alliance with Case IH – available from our Frome and Stockbridge branches. The brand is already proving highly popular across the UK.

One of the implements that has really taken off is the Bednar range of Omega seed drills, which are not only versatile in terms of various crop types, row spacings of 12.5cm or 16.7cm and seeding quantity variation, but also feature a lightweight construction concept to minimise soil compaction. The Bednar Omega OO_L (grain only) model is available in widths from 3m to 8m.

Stepping up to the Bednar Omega 00_FL there is the ability to direct drill, strip till drill, min till drill and for full cultivation sowing, making this a drill that really meets all needs. It is currently available in 4m and 6m working widths.

Pöttinger’s Austrian-built implements are a true favourite with our customers, especially the Pöttinger Terradisc compact disc harrows which are available as mounted or trailed models in 3m to 10m working widths. They are designed specifically for stubble cultivation as well as seedbed preparation and working depths between 5 to 15 cm are possible. The compact design, and aggressive disc position ensure a good soil penetration and a thorough mixing of crop residues.

Pöttinger also offers beautifully built Lion power harrows for medium and heavy duty use up to 6m working width, mounted and semi-mounted ploughs, as well as mounted and trailed Synkro stubble cultivators.

Available from Case IH ProAgri in Frome and Stockbridge.

Don’t forget that all new Case IH machinery is now covered by the Safeguard Warranty, which extends the standard 12 month warranty by three years to 4 years or 4,000 hours, whichever comes sooner.

This is one of the best packages in the business, especially as it’s an in-house scheme rather than being insurance-based. That gives you the peace of mind to know that Case IH will handle all claims directly to speed the process and keep your kit in action.

To initiate the Safeguard extended warranty the contract must be signed by the customer at the time of purchase. As long as manufacturer guidelines are adhered to the correct service history is maintained, all claims with a value of £300 or more will be valid.

If you would like to know more about the Safeguard Warranty, just contact our Case IH specialists at Stockbridge or Frome.

The vigorous growth of hedgerows this year will mean it’s important to get under way with the hedgecutting season in September. 

To help you get the job done in the tidiest, most efficient way, McConnel has added two new 60hp Power Arms models to its popular 55-Series hedgecutter range – both in stock at T H WHITE. 

The new PA5555-60  and PA5755-60 models come with reach of 5.5m and 5.7m respectively – a useful increase of 0.4m and 0.3m compared to the standard PA5155 and PA5455 models. They also benefit from an additional five horsepower increase to a 60hp hydraulic system.  As well as the boost in reach and hydraulic horsepower, the three-point linkage mounted power arms gain an integrated oil cooler for increased longevity, redesigned rear guards to facilitate easier service access and high-visibility LED road lighting.  

McConnel’s signature features –parallel-arm and Hy-Reach geometry  – are a standard part of the design, as are seam welded c-section arms and fully bushed pivot points to reduce stress and ensure greater durability. 

Hydraulic Power Slew is another standard feature which enables safe, compact transport, also providing operators with the flexibility to cut precisely in tight corners. 

Both the new PA5555-60 and PA5755-60 are available with either cable controls or Motion Control – McConnel’s popular electronic proportion control system. 

Cutting attachments include a selection of flailheads from 1.2m to 1.5m, rotary heads, cutterbars and sawheads. A heavy-duty ditch and grip cleaner can also be specified.

The new models are available now with prices starting from £15,500+VAT from any T H WHITE Agricultural branch.

The extreme and unpredictable weather earlier in the year has cast doubts over the likely success of this year’s harvest – a factor that makes it more important than ever to maximise productivity in 2020. 

MacDon’s Draper series of combine headers have been designed with exactly that in mind. Best of all, they can be used  on ANY make of combine, to harvest ANY crop, in ANY conditions. Given the wild climate swings we have experienced over the last few years, a MacDon header could be just what you need to get the most from your crops this harvest.

Sounds too good to be true? You need not worry, as this is a rare case of a machine that really lives up to its promise…

At the heart of MacDon’s designs is the instant response Active Float System which provides 4.8 degrees of lateral float and 178 mm (7in) of vertical float independent of the combine feeder house. That means you can cut extremely close to the ground without pushing soil. The operator has On-the-Go Control – from the driving seat – of ground pressure, cutting height and fore-aft header tilt, while Active Crop Flow gently places crop on the side drapers heads-first and swiftly moves it onto the feed draper, where it’s scooped up into the combine’s feeder housing. This promotes peak combine efficiency by saving fuel, improving threshing action, creating better straw distribution, and allowing for a more productive harvest overall.

Available in sizes up to 13.7m (45ft), MacDon FlexDraper^® and Draper headers benefit from the company’s 70-plus years’ experience making harvesting equipment for farmers on the rich Canadian prairies. 

These MacDon models are true multi-crop headers that are able to harvest cereals, oil seeds, beans – just about any crop in any condition. You can see a video of MacDon headers in action at thwhiteagriculture.co.uk or our Facebook page @THWAgriculture. If you would like to request a demo of a MacDon header this season, just speak to your 

T H WHITE rep or contact us through the website – thwhiteagriculture.co.uk/get-in-touch.

Harvest is upon us and one of the things that can tip the balance between success and failure is having the right kit. Although combine harvesters are big ticket items they don’t have to break the bank – T H WHITE is currently offering a good selection of pre-owned combines, including some just coming out of our demo fleet, at highly attractive prices.

Take the superb New Holland CR8.90 Tier 4B combine in the photo above. This 2017 combine has been well cared-for and has only 900 engine hours and 691 threshing hours.

Today’s combine harvesters, tractors and implements are complex pieces of kit incorporating many features and advanced technologies. 

These can be a real boon for operators, but getting to grips with the possibilities can sometimes seem daunting. Now, to provide clear, step-by-step instruction on routine and more complex tasks, we have compiled an Operator Video Library available on the T H WHITE Agriculture website at thwhiteagriculture.co.uk/servicing/operator-video-library.

The videos cover a wide range of topics focusing on machinery set-up, technology and software settings, as well as answering FAQs. The growing library currently includes videos from premier brands New Holland, MacDon, Hardi, Väderstad, Pöttinger, Kverneland and Sky. Take a look!

New Holland has developed two smart phone apps to help operators get the best performance and efficiency from their combine harvesters – Harvest Excellence and a Grain Loss Calculator.

The Harvest Excellence app supports farmers when setting up their New Holland combine harvester. It guides the operator through various steps to collect all the information on their machine and field conditions including combine model, soil, crop, yields, moisture, straw length, slope, presence of stones and wheeled or tracked combine. Once the configuration is finalised, the app will then work out the recommended settings. The operator can then tweak the settings based on field experience. The app also offers an issue resolution tool that guides the operator though suggested actions.

The Grain Loss Calculator app supports farmers operating combines from any brand or model, through a quick calculation that optimally adjusts the combine harvester for maximum efficiency. 

Farmers can determine the combine’s grain loss in three easy steps:

1. Enter the brand of the combine, selecting header and show widths.

2. Select the crop from a choice of 30 types and enter the yield.

3. Insert the grains counted on the ground in a limited area.

The app will instantly calculate grain loss, showing the percentage and quantities per hectare.

Both apps can be downloaded free from the Apple Store or Google Play.

The prospect of long hours harvesting just around the corner means that the one thing you really need to rely on is your combine harvester. 

Like any complex piece of machinery, a combine harvester needs professional maintenance – more so as it is suddenly pressed into a period of intensive use. 

A pre -harvest combine check and service can go a long way to help avoid an unwelcome breakdown plus heartache and expense in the middle of the busy season. Talk to your local rep or any T H WHITE Service Workshop for details of combine servicing and to book your machine in.

A 22 per cent increase in bale density, a 29-knife CropCutter™ system and the unique SmartShift™ gearbox – winner of the Agritechnica silver medal – make New Holland’s BigBaler 1290 High Density the most efficient large square baler in its segment.

Denser bales significantly reduce transport and handling costs, increasing profitability. The new MaxiSweep™ pick-up feeds crop into the large 4.05-metre baling chamber at higher rates, where the high-energy plunger achieves as much as 58 per cent more force than previous ‘Plus’ baler models. Because the compression process is controlled by a clever hydraulic system full bale density is achieved within the first bales, even when starting up with an empty bale chamber.

The SmartShift™ gearbox delivers a soft start-up, contributing to greater operator comfort as well as overload protection for the tractor’s driveline. Smooth operation is also enhanced by a heavy 1080mm diameter flywheel which maintains a maximum flywheel speed of 1,440 rpm at full tractor PTO speed.

Patented Loop Master™ knotting technology uses a loop-style second knot to deliver up to 26 per cent more tensile strength – best-in-class solid binding which produces plastic-free forage and protects the environment by eliminating twine offcuts.

The 2.35-metre MaxiSweep™ pick-up is perfect for the widest swaths left by today’s high-capacity combines, making the BigBaler 1290 High Density ideal for large scale farming where there is a lot of ground to cover, or for contracting. The new baler too with a heavy-duty frame designed to manage higher density loads and a new gearbox mounting. The low cost of ownership resulting from a long life, plus increased productivity and efficiency means greater profitability.

We recently turned the spotlight on the acclaimed Kuhn Merge Maxx 950. Now Kuhn has extended its swather range with the addition of a larger Merge Maxx 1090 model, and a smaller 760 model. 

Both the new models will be available from the beginning of September and, like the 950, they lay the swath to the left, right and in the centre (selectable on the move). The pick-up with cam track and the leading crop press roller ensure uniform swaths.  

The 760 model groups 5.50 metres of work into one side swath and 7.50 metres into a central swath. The top 1090 model gathers 11 metres of work into a central swath and more than 8.80 metres into a side swath. Pick-up and swath width can be adjusted to suit the quantity and type of forage material being harvested, thus enabling the number of passes and associated costs to be reduced. For lateral swaths, the width can be varied between 1.00 and 1.50m. For central swaths, it can be up to 2.20m in width.

Auto-regulating rollers at the front and side of the pick-up unit self-adjust their position according to crop thickness. These in turn pass a consistent and constant supply of forage to the merger belts, thus allowing a uniform, airy and faster-drying swath which makes it easier for the subsequent baler or chopper to collect large volumes of grass. For forage harvesters this can equate to a 2-3 km/h increase in forward operating speed.

A variety of forage types can be handled including the most delicate crops, always preserving the full nutritional value of the harvest. Compared to a conventional grass rake, the Merge Maxx offers an increase in working rate, with the greatest time savings to be made when handling wet or heavier forage crops.

The pick-up unit is guided by two large articulated skids mounted near the pick-up. Their large surface area and effective suspension reduce the weight on the ground, thus protecting the plant cover. By adapting to the terrain they minimise uptake of debris, ensuring good forage quality and less time and money spent on replacing blades and other working parts on the forage harvester or baler.

To learn more about the Kuhn Merge Maxx range or to request a demo please contact your T H WHITE rep or visit www.thwhiteagriculture.co.uk.

Steve Dixon is typical of the smaller-scale farmer who prefers to carry out his own baling when it suits him without relying on a contractor or anyone else. 

He farms 80-plus acres of grassland and last season he purchased a New Holland Roll Baler RB125 from Will Farr at our Hereford branch.

Steve has made good use of his new roll baler from day one, and it has impressed him on a number of levels, starting with its performance: “It’s much faster than my older baler and the mechanical design is excellent,” he says. 

Since purchasing the baler Steve has produced 1,600 bales; 1,000 for himself and a further 600 contracting. Working in very wet conditions baling silage, hay and straw. “The RB125 was easily achieving 55 bales plus to the hour and even in poor conditions it was achieving 20 bales to an acre in wet grass. It just ate it up!”

In terms of bale production, Steve has been impressed by both the shape and density of the round bales. “The RB125 makes a tremendous bale, even when it’s not on full density. It packs it in very well and there is good cover right over the edge of the bale.” Steve has also benefitted from the option to select 20 knives: “I feed a lot of animals by hand and the smaller forage size makes it easier to feed”.

The RB125 has also proved simple to use. Steve admits that he is not computer savvy, but he has found the IntelliView IV monitor both user-friendly and easy to understand. The pick-up has also worked well for Steve, with no jamming like so many other balers. “It’s a very capable baler which has kept me going right through the season on all conditions” says Steve. “Another benefit has been the auto lube system which keeps maintenance requirements very low.”

At the end of May we undertook some impressive drilling near Toddington, Glos, with our 6m SKY Agriculture Easy Drill Demonstrator powered by a New Holland Agriculture T7 tractor.  

Our Sky Easy Drill is specifically designed as a no-till drill but works equally well in minimum tillage conditions, on consolidated ploughed soil and when drilling into cover crops. This particular drill has three hoppers allowing three different products to be drilled at two different depths. Individual coulter selection, choice of seed spacing and alternative seed distribution are all controllable from the cab and the 3.5 degrees coulter angle dramatically reduces soil disturbance retaining as much moisture as possible in establishment. 

With 250kg of coulter pressure, this drill more than lives up to its direct drill nature and speed and accuracy is better than ever!

Keeping your paddocks looking tidy and weed-free at this time of year can be a challenge and finding someone available to do the work for you, even more so. Investing in your own machinery gives you the freedom and independence to carry out your own maintenance – at a time that suits you. Here’s a small selection of essential  products from Logic and Honda that are a joy to operate, as well as being reliable and effective.

Logic TRM150/120 Rotary mowers: Choose from the  wide 1.5m or 1.2m cut and 13hp or 16hp engines. These capable toppers will power through long grass and weeds leaving a wonderfully neat and tidy finish. We recommend the easy-to-use electric start versions, with adjustable 20mm to 160mm height control and drawbar offset feature. For safety, a cut-out lanyard stops the engine in an instant and the TRM can be towed by an ATV, compact tractor, UTV or 4×4.

Logic MFP Flail mowers: For fast and effective cutting of rough grass, weeds, brambles, maize and woodland, there is no better machine than the Logic flail mower. High speed rotary flails will relentlessly cut through overgrowth as well as being able to cut short paddock grass. Featuring a height adjuster, drawbar offset and safety cut out lanyard, you can choose from 16 to 18hp Engine sizes, 1m to 1.2m cutting widths and three types of flail to match your conditions.

Logic OBS sprayer: No need to lug a Knapsack around when you can spray from your ATV with the rear rack mounted OBS640. It fits in seconds and the powerful 12v pump provides pressure to a 10m hose and hand lance. The operator can choose from a 1.5 or 2m adjustable spray boom with up to 6 nozzles.

The TRX520FA6 Foreman is Honda’s flagship ATV, incorporating every feature you could wish for. Powerful liquid cooled engine, 2/4wd and difflock, power steering, independent suspension, disc brakes, hi and lo range and fully automatic transmission with unique push button gearshift control. All backed by a 2 year warranty and Optional Free GPS tracker.

New Holland’s Service Plus extended machinery warranty is now 100% backed by New Holland itself rather than being based on an insurance policy, meaning that customers can be sure of a fixed cost of ownership plus peace of mind regarding any unexpected repairs.

This gives loyal New Holland customers a clear advantage over many other brands as it eliminates delays or uncertainty regarding reimbursement. The warranty benefits are also transferable – if a machine is sold on the new owner will qualify for exactly the same benefits during the period of coverage, thus enhancing residual values.

The standard Service Plus offer on tractors, which is activated immediately the base warranty expires. is for a warranty extension of an additional 2 years or a total of 3,000 hours over the full 3 year warranty period, although Service Plus cover for tractors can be extended to a maximum of 5 years/5000 hours, allowing clients to vary cover based on greater projected hours or additional years 4 and 5 cover.

For the flagship CX7/8 and CR rotary combines,  two further years of Service Plus cover are available beyond the basic warranty of 1+2, 1,200 hours.

Some of the options require a small customer repair contribution, others don’t, but the New Holland specialists at our Agricultural branches will be happy to explain all the possibilities.

Andy Symes has joined T H WHITE as Case IH Sales Manager reporting to Case IH Dealer Principal and head of our Agriculture Division, David Rapkins. Based at Stockbridge – a dedicated Case IH branch for T H WHITE – Andy will combine team management with sales and business development championing the Case IH brand together with its associated franchises (Pöttinger, Manitou and McConnel). He will be responsible for his own sales territory while also managing the sales team day to day. He will also support the service workshop and parts function based at the branch.

Andy studied agricultural engineering and brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Starting out as an agricultural engineer in Salisbury, Andy gained early experience with Massey Ferguson, Fiat and Renault tractors along with Claas combines. He trained in electronics and hydraulics and quickly learned all about tractor systems. He then spent 13 years in pig farming followed by a short spell maintaining large cargo and passenger aircraft before moving back into the agricultural sector as an engineer for the Peter Noble dealership at Ringwood. Here, he demonstrated equipment and got the sales bug, before moving on to territory sales management for a Claas dealer business. 

Before joining T H WHITE, Andy worked at New Holland UK as Area Sales Manager and then as Harvester Sales Area Manager for South West  England and Wales, where he was successful in increasing the company’s combine harvester market share. Being from the local area, when the position was advertised Andy recognised there is much opportunity to grow the business while working closer with customers and the product. David welcomes Andy to the team commenting that he brings not only valuable and relevant harvest product experience, but also a culture of creating positive relationships and an attitude to deliver a first-class customer experience – values the team at T H WHITE also share.

The latest Pöttinger Torro Combiline loader wagons are combined loader/top-fill wagons for both silage and harvesting, featuring six rows of tines with a large swath roller with crop transfer rods to ensure perfect crop flow and a loading speed.

Designed to handle power from tractors up to 300bhp, the new Torro Combiline wagons deliver a 10% improvement in output compared to previous models. The pick-up is controlled from both ends by a steel cam track and as the forage is not dragged through, meaning there is less longitudinal alignment of stalks. The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and their pressed serrated edge ensures a precise chop. The steel profile panels are fully enclosed, right to the top, while the large surface area of the forage compression flap ensures the best compression of the crop and maximum use of the loading chamber and can be controlled from the tractor cab to enable a rapid change between pick-up loading and top-fill loading. We have a 6010L Combiline ready to go and can supply all others from the range. Call us today!

The Kuhn Merge Maxx 950 is a 9.5m wide belt-merging silage rake which has been specially developed for contractors and large-scale farm producers seeking to achieve maximum productivity in high quality harvesting of grass and other forage crops.

At the heart of the machine are  two adjustable, variable width and bi-directional merger belts to swath a maximum of 9.5m, guaranteeing high output with very high quality forage harvesting.

Nothing is more effective than having homogenous, regular windrows. The unique design of the pick-up and windguard-with-roller produce regular forage pick-up and transfer to the conveyor belt – prerequisites for perfect windrow formation. A regular, homogenous windrow prevents jolting during harvesting and can increase working speeds by up to 2 or 3 km/h.

As an increasing number of UK farmers recognise the benefits of protein-rich alfalfa (Lucerne) as a forage crop which can be harvested three times a year, the MM950 is the ideal machine. Its gentle pick-up means that leaves remain on their stems, thus preserving protein content and nutritional value in the forage. The same applies for harvesting cover crops at the end of autumn: forage is lifted, uncontaminated by wet, sticky soil. 

With the MM 950, you no longer have to choose between a central or side-delivery rake. This rake is capable of adapting to all types of usage, forage volumes and harvesting methods thanks to its many delivery options:

• Central delivery with variable width,

• Side delivery with a view to grouping different working widths together,

• Central and side delivery simultaneously for very high forage volumes and to suit harvesting methods.

The Merge Max 950 provides a practical solution for contractors who offer a variety of services to different customers as the configuration of the machine can be modified easily with the hydraulic control valves. The days of belt-fitting are over and work output is improved.

To learn more about the Kuhn Merge Maxx 950 or to request a demo please contact your T H WHITE rep or visit www.thwhiteagriculture.co.uk.

Ever since Väderstad was founded in the 1960s the company’s development has been directed at ‘getting the best from your land’ – a purpose shared by T H WHITE Group.  

Today considered to be the market leader, Väderstad’s edge comes from its focus on essential drilling and cultivation tasks, creating the optimal soil conditions to maximise yields. Build quality and versatility also sets Väderstad apart, delivering amazing efficiency and productivity.

Planting is a key part of the cycle and the latest range of Tempo high speed planters deliver unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters in no-till, min-till or conventional tillage.  The crops gets the best start possible which results in an even emergence.

On traditional planters, the seed falls freely through the seed tube from the seed meter down to the soil. When vibrations arise as speed increases, the seed bounces in the seed tube and much of the precision of the seed meter is lost.

This is where Tempo, with its pressurised seed meter, stands out from the crowd.

Thanks to the PowerShoot technology, which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil, gravity is removed from the equation so speed is not an issue for Tempo. This means that Tempo planters can achieve an unmatched planting precision in three dimensions – Length, depth, and width:

1. In-row precision – exact distance between each seed in the row.

2. Depth precision – exact depth of each seed.

3. End-of-row precision – individual row shut-off of the seed, fertiliser and micro granulate.

Equipped with hydraulic support wheels mounted between the row units, tilting in hilly conditions is avoided and the wide tyre profile maintains the working depth irrespective of soil type. Designed to fit most tractors, Tempo has a low hydraulic requirement, self-sufficient electric power and requires low draught force.

The Väderstad Tempo is available in models from four to 18 rows, meaning that there’s one for every size of farm and application. A huge variety of crops can be accommodated too, including maize, sugar beet, soya beans, sunflower, oilseed rape and many more. The row spacing can be changed easily for different crops, while seed discs can be changed in a matter of seconds without tools.

T H WHITE can supply the full range of Väderstad Tempo planters, but we have 6-row and 8-row models in stock, ready to go. Contact your Agricultural sales rep for full details.

Diesel bug is not something you want to experience. 

This brown/black slime looks rather like frogspawn and has a pungent, eggy odour. It can grow in diesel fuel tanks where water is also present due to wet conditions or air entering the tank and causing condensation. Before long, it will block your fuel filters.

The answer is to treat your fuel with Exocet Anti Bug Kill – 1-litre will treat 5,000 litres of fuel. Within 24-36 hours it will kill microbiological infestations, eliminating plugging of filters and gauges and maintaining combustion and emission quality.

Exocet Anti Bug Kill is in stock at all T H WHITE Agricultural parts stores at £46.50 + VAT.
