Since the Williams family threw open their barn doors to the public in June 2016, Raglan Farm Park has quickly grown to become a firm favourite for young and old alike, recently being voted ‘Best Family Day Out in South Wales’.

The task of maintaining the 40 acres of Monmouthshire parkland and keeping it spick and span for visitors calls for dependable machinery and when the Park needed new tractors T H WHITE Agriculture rep Joe Woolley gave them a demonstration of the New Holland T6.180. Father & son team Keith and Gareth Williams agreed the T6 was the tops and ordered two. Gareth is seen here taking delivery of the tractors from Colin Davies – together with a line-up of somewhat smaller tractors to get the youngsters thinking along the right lines!

Logic, well known for building the toughest trailed flail mowers on the market has announced an all new model MFP flail mower, taking this popular model a step further.

Already featuring a tough cutting deck and a powerful 16hp V twin engine, the 2019 MFP now has the added advantage of a single lever to engage the drive belts. This delivers the most efficient drive to the flail rotor through a simple pulley tensioning three belts to give incredible performance.

It’s available in two cutting sizes, 1.2m and 1.5m, with a choice of rough cut or fine cut flails.

If you would like to know more or arrange a demonstration, please contact T H WHITE Logic specialists Simon Knight on 07860 712963 ( Marlborough), or Tim Rochfort 07973 911934 (Toddington).

T H WHITE Agriculture has become a supplier of MacDon’s Draper series of combine headers. These exceptional headers offer unrivalled harvesting performance, delivering outstanding results and productivity.

Available in sizes up to 13.7m (45ft), MacDon FlexDraper® and Draper headers benefit from more than 70 years’ experience making harvesting equipment for farmers on the rich prairie lands of Winnipeg and Manitoba in Canada. A world-leader in harvest technology, MacDon works directly with producers and harvesters in some of the toughest conditions around the world to ensure that its headers deliver worry-free harvesting performance with any crop, in any conditions, with any major brand of combine harvester.

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.

These 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 @THW Agriculture. If you would like to demo a new MacDon header this season, speak to your T H WHITE rep or contact us through the website. We think you will be impressed…

The weather was kind and the competition intense. Congratulations to Piggy French on winning the 2019 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials on her horse Vanir Kamira!

The action drew huge crowds and the T H WHITE stand enjoyed some very busy days and super orders, reflecting the fact that it’s becoming increasingly important for the smaller landowner to be independent in terms of maintenance machinery. The team mounted an extensive display of Honda ATVs, Logic attachments and Robotic mowers. The most popular items sold this year were related to paddock care, in particular, rollers, harrows and sprayers.

All eyes will be on the new sponsor for next year (as yet unannounced) as Mitsubishi Motors step down after an incredible 28 years as title sponsor.

Väderstad has long been considered the market leader, concentrating on ‘getting the best from your land,’ a purpose shared by T H WHITE Group.

WE HAVE ‘READY-TO-GO’ KIT IN LIMITED QUANTITIES – RESERVE YOURS TODAY!

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

The Tempo TPF8 planter is the new generation high-speed planter, delivering unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters in all conditions. Equipped with hydraulic support wheels mounted between the row units, this avoids any tilting in hilly conditions and the wide tyre profile maintains the working depth irrespective of soil type. This 8 row model has four support wheels coupled as a hydraulic unit ensuring an even load and smoother ride further improving planting precision. Fitting most tractors Tempo has low hydraulic requirement, self-sufficient electric power and requires low draught force. This drill is offered with E-Control or ISOBUS control system and the option of a fertiliser kit, disc markers and hydraulic weight transfer.

The Väderstad Rapid RDA600S 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.

This NEW Väderstad CR500 Carrier with 470mm discs is a true multi-tasker designed for high speed tillage and seedbed preparation with a wide range of front tools, discs and packers germinating all in its pass. Versatile in handling ultra-shallow to deeper cultivation, the Carrier saves passes, decreases machine cost per hectare and provides the best start possible for the coming crop.

We also have a Carrier 525XL (ex display at £38,150) – a trailed disc cultivator with a 5.25m working width and adjustable discs. This larger work-horse is well suited for deeper cultivation or breaking up pastures. Carriers can be configured for five main tasks; stubble cultivation, incorporation, seedbed preparation, small-seed drilling and pest prevention. A full range of disc sizes are available from ultra-shallow tillage at 2-3cm depth up to 16cm working depth. The conical shape of the disc produces fine tilth and mixes residues evenly ensuring the same working angle is maintained irrespective of wear and working depth.

This superb EX-DEMO TD400 TopDown Cultivator at £52,000 is the ultimate high intensity multipurpose cultivator, performing both full-scale shallow cultivation and a deep cultivation in a single pass. A TopDown reduces passes, preserves ground moisture, increases capacity and lowers costs. 12.5cm spaced discs on individually suspended disc arms, creates fine tilth by cutting and mixing the top soil. The 27cm spaced tines then loosen and mix the soil and crop residues down to 30cm working depth. In the final two working zones, the leveller and packer then concludes by ensuring an even and fully reconsolidated surface. To adapt to varying soil conditions, the working intensity of the discs can be adjusted from the cab on the move.

Despite gathering storm clouds, T H WHITE Agriculture held its first customer open evening at the new Hereford Branch on 2 May.

The evening saw around 150 guests visit the depot, both existing and potential customers from the surrounding farming community. They had the opportunity to see behind the scenes at the branch, view our extensive range of machinery and meet our major suppliers including New Holland, Manitou, Kverneland, Lynx, Väderstad, McConnel, Sparex, Jensen, Kramp, MX Handling, HiSpec, Hardi and PLM alongside AgXtend.

Welcoming everyone to the event, T H WHITE managing director Alex Scott explained that the Hereford branch represented a new chapter for T H WHITE, taking on new staff and a new customer base, and he explained a little of the history of the family and staff-owned company, how diversity had been a core strength over the years, and that we intend to remain in Hereford for a long time. He went on to thank all the manufacturers at the event, in particular New Holland with whom we have had a relationship for over 100 years, and Kverneland who are new to us. Thanks also went to general manager James Ashworth and everyone involved in making the evening a success, supported by the excellent food from Haven Hog Roast and local craft beers from the Wobbly Brewery.

As well as collecting for Hereford’s St Michael’s Hospice, a raffle was held with an exciting collection of prizes. The first one out of the box, picked by Pat Smith, New Holland Business Director for UK and Ireland, was a pair of tickets for the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed. This was won by Anthony Dale of Hainstone Farm.

We hope that the evening’s conversations and networking lead to strong T H WHITE customer relationships in this new territory.

The range of technologies available to farmers to increase efficiency and profitability while also improving sustainability is growing all the time.

To bring together the best-in-class, easy-to-use technologies, New Holland has launched its new aftermarket precision farming brand, AgXtend. Initially, five innovative solutions will be available through AgXtend, all of which can be fully integrated into New Holland Agriculture’s existing PLM precision farming platforms.

CropXplorer is a highly advanced biomass sensor which uses exclusive features and algorithms to determine fertilization rate based on crop needs. It’s simple to use, requires no calibration and can be mounted on a standard 3 points hitch or front weight.

SoilXplorer allows users to discover the full potential of their soils using a contactless sensor to measure soil conductivity at four different depths. This results in accurate soil mapping, identifying areas of compaction allowing tillage implements to work at full depth only where needed.

The new crop NIR sensor can be mounted on all types of equipment: forage harvesters, combines, balers and tankers. It allows farmers to determine yield moisture as well as crop constituents.

Xpower is the electro-herbicide that allows farmers to replace chemicals with electricity for weeding and pre-harvest desiccation of crops, and the package is completed by the new FarmXtend App, a smart weather application working with a complete set of connected sensors.

Full details of the AgXtend offering are available from our specialist Andrew Collier on 07769 931553, or at agxtend.com where there are also downloadable brochures on each of the components.

The new Manitou MLA-T range of articulated loaders, previewed in the December 2018 issue of White’s World and presented to customers at the LAMMA show in January, is now available from T H WHITE Agriculture with the top-spec model – the MLA-T 533-145 V+ offered until the end of April with a terrific 0% finance deal.

The MLA-T range comprises eight models perfectly tailored to agricultural handling needs, such as dairy cattle or beef farms. The tipping load varies from 875kg to 5 tonnes with a lifting height between 2.5m and 5.20m, and all models in the range are easy to manoeuvre with excellent 360-degree visibility.

Manitou 2700V skid Steer loader

Another Manitou star at LAMMA this year was the 2700V skid-steer representing a family of 16 compact loaders new to the UK. For many years the Mustang and Gehl brands have enjoyed a high profile in the USA and Europe, having a reputation in skid-steer loaders going back to 1965. These machines are now being brought to the UK in Manitou’s red and black colours.

The 2700V sits in the middle of the range boasting a lift capacity of 1.225 tonnes and a lift height of 3.31m, powered by a 72hp Yanmar diesel engine. The smallest skid-steer in the range is the 1350 R (lift capacity 0.612 tonnes; lift height 2.746m), while at the other end of the scale is the world’s largest skid-steer, the 4200 V (1.906t; 3.647m) – powered by a 120hp Deutz engine.

With such a range of capabilities the Manitou skid-steers will have many applications across agriculture, construction and industry.

We understand that new machinery isn’t the right choice for everyone so we are also offering deals on a selection of quality used Manitou equipment. Contact your T H WHITE Agricultural branch or local sales rep for full details.

Research has shown that spring application of slurry is far more beneficial to grass than summer spreading, so with the season now upon us the one thing you definitely need is a reliable slurry pump.

The Austrian-built Bauer Magnum SX is a tough, no-nonsense unit with a 140m head and a capacity of up to 300m3 per hour. Its high cutting and chopping performance is exactly what is needed when lifting slurry from a lagoon as it will cope with up to 12% solids and is largely insensitive to solid particles.

As well as a long service life, you can expect this pump to deliver low operating costs with easy maintenance. The cutting blades are easily adjustable to maintain the ideal cutting gap while the impeller is a high grade casting of an open design well suited to liquids containing straw or grass. The flange ensures enormous suction capacity and the shafts are sealed with a double-acting mechanical seal with an oil reservoir.

Three drive options are available with couplings for a tractor PTO, a stand-alone diesel engine or electric motors, and there are five mounting variants – a pump trolley, a hoisting frame for three-point linkage, a trailer with Diesel engine, a mobile unit with Diesel engine, as well as a base plate with electric drive motor.

Our slurry specialist Bob Gallop can explain all the options to ensure you get the configuration that’s right for your needs. Call him on 07831 883734 or email rg@thwhite.co.uk.

Good preparation is a key factor in ensuring a successful grass harvest and work is now well under way.

Many farms suffer from poor quality swards and limited yields even if they plough and re-seed regularly. Often this is caused by soil becoming compacted which limits water flow through the soil and reduces air interchange. Reasons for compaction can vary from gradual soil slump to the impact of heavy machinery. Over the years silaging and slurry spreading equipment has become larger and heavier, often causing deep compaction, while shallow compaction can be caused simply by the weight of animals on the soil.

This is where the Opico Sward Lifter Grassland Subsoiler can make a real difference, being specifically designed to break up hard pans and surface compaction while lifting and opening up the subsoil creating improved drainage. The Sward Lifter features a cutting disc at the front to open up the turf, allowing the subsoil leg to travel through the sward without soil bursting onto the surface. Each of the Grassland Subsoiler’s legs are fitted with shear-bolt or hydraulic reset to prevent damage. Spring loaded rollers are then employed at the rear of the unit to press the turf closed, leaving a surface that is level and ready for use.

Opico Grassland Sward Slitter

Aeration is just as important as good drainage, and the Opico Grassland Sward Slitter improves aeration of plant roots in the upper soil surface which stimulates grass and clover growth.

Aeration of the sward root zone is critical for a healthy ley. Slitting allows oxygen interchange through the soil surface and also encourages evaporation of moisture in the surface layer of soil so that it dries out more quickly to promote earlier growth in the Spring.

Although slitting or spiking of grassland is not new, OPICO has taken a fresh look at the design of the Grassland Sward Slitter’s blades and incorporated a chamfered trailing edge. This limits the turf damage when each knife comes out of the soil, leaving a better finish.

For help on preparing for improved grass yields contact any of T H WHITE’s Agricultural branches where our specialists are ready to give impartial advice.

T H WHITE Agriculture has been named ‘New Holland Hay and Forage Dealer of the Year’, reflecting strong success in forage harvester and baler sales.

The prestigious award was announced at a meeting of New Holland’s UK dealers at Chateau Impney in Worcestershire on 23 January.

Commenting on the award, New Holland Business Director UK and ROI, Pat Smith, said “I am thrilled to be making this award to T H WHITE. It really is a well-deserved recognition of top performance and delivery of New Holland targets.”

That’s not something you often hear these days, but exactly what the owner of this Kawasaki Mule declared!

Following retirement from a career in National Hunt Racing, Ed Cookson returned to the Cotswolds last year to become a partner on the family farm near Bourton-on-the-Water.

Some of the farm’s kit was getting old and after many years of owning an ATV, Ed decided that a UTV might be a more versatile replacement. He contacted Tim Rochfort at T H WHITE Toddington to arrange a demonstration of the Kawasaki diesel Mule Pro DX. He had already tried competing brands but found the Kawasaki Mule was better value and offered more space, both in the cab and in the rear bed. A deal was done!

Ed and his team said they couldn’t be without it now. The Mule has become an essential piece of equipment for each working day, taking feed to the shoot hoppers, fencing work, moving jumps and towing – which he said it’s particularly good at. Best of all he loves the frugal nature of the powerful Yanmar engine and the quiet, warm cab which keeps everyone dry and happy, including his dog Bengal.

Ed has just ordered and fitted a new Logic snowplough to the Mule… does he know something we don’t?

Rapid Tempo from Väderstad

Väderstad Tempo 6-7

The Väderstad Tempo is a new generation high-speed planter, designed to deliver exceptional precision at double the speed of traditional planters. No-till, min-till or conventional tillage – Tempo performs exceptionally in all conditions.

Traditional planters allow the seed to fall freely through the seed tube from the seed meter down to the soil. When vibrations arise as the speed increases, the seed bounces in the seed tube and much of the precision of the seed meter is lost. The Tempo has a pressurised Gilstring seed metering unit which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil; removing gravity from the equation means that vibrations or slopes don’t affect the precision of the seed metering, so speed is not an issue.

Taking high speed planting to the next level has also involved addressing the issue of skips and doubles. Skips in the rows mean fewer yield-bearing plants at harvest time. However, doubles can be equally detrimental. Plants that are too close together compete for sunlight and nutrients, resulting in uneven maturity and reduced yield. Using Tempo will ensure the same conditions for all plants, with consistent plant spacing resulting in a crop that matures at an even rate and is more likely to yield to full potential.

Excellent in all crops

The small seeds kit, which includes suspended stop wheels and the ability to adjust the angle of the closing wheels, ensures great results when planting small seeded crops, such as oilseed rape and sugar beets. This improves yields and extends the applications of the high-speed planter.

Whatever the crop – maize, sugar beet, soya beans, sunflower, oilseed rape, cotton, sorghum and many more – Tempo can plant a full range with excellent results. The row spacing and machine setup is easy to change for different crops and the result is increased efficiency and minimised machine costs per hectare.

There are five models of Tempo in the range with mounted machines from 4-12 rows and trailed machines from 6-24 rows. All the Tempo models offer a fertiliser option whether mounted to the machine or using the Väderstad FH2220 front hopper.

Full control at your fingertips

An iPad-based control system, Väderstad E-Control wirelessly delivers data about each seed that travels through the machine, including seeding quality, skips, doubles, distance in the row, and rate. You benefit from user-friendly remote set up and calibration, as well as easy, real-time monitoring and control.

Kuhn Maxima 3

Kuhn Maxima 3

Kuhn Farm Machinery has launched a new Maxima 3 range generation of precision seed drills. Available in 6 to 12 row versions and capable of drilling maize, sunflower, beetroot, sugar beet, peas, beans, onions and other crops with row spacings from 37.5 to 80 cm, the range comprises 12 models in configurations including telescopic, trailed, foldable and telescopic with adjustable spacing.

The Maxima 3 drill uses an improved seed selection and ejection system which enables accurate seed placement at working speeds of up to 10 km/h. A new coulter pressure system, delivering up to 180 kg of downward pressure also augments seeding accuracy by ensuring consistent depth control. An electrically-driven seed metering system allows application rates to be adjusted manually on the move.

The Maxima 3 can be controlled via Kuhn’s intuitive KMS 548 control panel, and is also compatible with Kuhn’s Isobus CCI 50 and CCI 1200 terminals, the latter allowing two different control interfaces to be viewed simultaneously on the same screen.

Each of the seeding unit’s settings (depth, ground pressure, furrow closing, etc.) can be adjusted easily and quickly by hand and without the need for any specialist tools. This not only makes setting the machine up more efficient, but also cuts time spent on maintenance.  We can also offer growers targeted cultivation solutions using the Kuhn Striger strip tillage cultivator. This incorporates an opening disc which prepares the way for the tine, followed by a star-shaped trash remover, a tine, two deflector discs and a tamping wheel. For improved ground contour adaptation and easier passage in stony conditions, all units have independent non-stop safety features. The tine is also equipped with NSH safety with adjustable pressure ensuring a constant working depth. The inter-row cultivator is designed to increase soil structure, retain humidity and rain infiltration to minimise nutrient run off and increase traffic carrying capacity – an ideal tool to use prior to planting using RTK.

As well as offering targeted cultivation before drilling, the Striger also has the option to apply both granular and liquid fertiliser. There is also the option to incorporate slurry digestant within the cultivated row, decreasing overall production cost and encouraging fast plant growth.

Until 31 March 2019 most Kuhn farm machinery products can be purchased with 0% finance, either 2+22 monthly payments or 1+2 annual payments. Call us now for details of this and other offers.

A new T H WHITE Agriculture branch is open in Hereford following acquisition of part of the JG Plant Ltd business.

New Holland dealer JG Plant entered administration on 12 December 2018. The company had depots in Hereford and Bridgend and T H WHITE acted swiftly to acquire some elements of the Hereford operation to ensure continuity and a seamless transition for customers. All 16 staff at Hereford – including general manager James Ashworth – have transferred to T H WHITE, meaning that customers will continue to deal with people they know.

To underpin the deal T H WHITE has taken over the New Holland agricultural machinery franchise for Hereford, a move which is fully supported by New Holland’s Business Director for UK & Ireland Pat Smith: “T H WHITE is one of our longest-standing dealers and it’s great to see them growing in this way,” he said. “Their long history and experience with the brand will bring new stability and confidence to the Hereford operation.”

T H WHITE managing director Alex Scott commented: “Adding Hereford to our already strong agricultural sales region brings a great opportunity. We are delighted to welcome the new staff and we will be working hard to deliver an enhanced experience for customers.”

The new branch is located at The Beech Business Park, Tillington Rd, Hereford HR4 9QJ, Tel: 01432 352333.

Before we know it the grass cutting season will be here and if you are thinking of preparing with new machinery, delivery lead times mean that now is the moment to be placing an order.

As the new season gets under way, the importance of soil cultivation, fertilisation and seeding becomes paramount. T H WHITE Agriculture is an official dealer for leading brands that can help arable farmers maximise efficiency and profitability in these key areas.

CULTIVATION
Väderstad’s Top Down cultivators are available in widths from 3m to 9m, defined by the model numbers 300-900. Designed to perform both a full-scale shallow cultivation and a deep cultivation in a single pass, the Top Down models truly are multi-purpose cultivators. 12.5cm-spaced discs on individually suspended disc arms create fine tilth by cutting and mixing the top soil. The 27cm spaced tines then loosen and mix the soil and crop residues down to 30cm working depth. In the final two working zones, the leveller and packer then concludes by ensuring an even and fully reconsolidated surface. You benefit from preserved soil moisture, low soil compaction and high capacity.

The most popular models are the Top Down 400 and 500, but the whole range can be adjusted for varying soil conditions, the driver being able to adjust the intensity of the hydraulic levellers with millimetre-precision on the move.

Also from Väderstad comes the Carrier range of disc cultivators for high speed primary tillage and seedbed preparation. The wide range of front tools, discs and packers enables Carrier to handle the challenges from ultra-shallow cultivation to a deeper incorporation. Depending on the discs fitted, the Carrier can be used for ultra-shallow tillage at 2-3cm depth, right up to 16cm working depth. The versatility it brings saves passes, decreases machine cost per hectare, and provides the best start possible for the coming crop.

Kuhn also supports our tillage line-up with a wide range of mounted and semi-mounted reversible ploughs, all practical, robust implements designed for long life as well as safe and easy use.

If you are looking for a wide roller, the King roller from He-Va would be difficult to beat. With working widths of 12.3m, 15.3m, 16.3m, 18.3m or 20.3m, the King roller also features supreme contour-following to ensure consistent, high quality results across the field. To give some idea of efficiency a 15.3m set of Rolls travelling at 6km/hr with a driver driving at 90 per cent field efficiency, will cover 8.25ha or 21 acres per hour.

When it comes to a minimal tillage regime there is a comprehensive range of solutions available from Pöttinger. Synkro tine cultivators, with a working width of 4-6m, are famed for their ability to cultivate at a consistent depth whilst ensuring all soil is moved and root structures cut clean through. These versatile cultivators can operate down to a depth of 30 cm and can be configured to suit the seasonal conditions and the job at hand. You can check this out for yourself as T H WHITE will be operating a demo Synkro 4030T Nova this season.

For shallower high speed cultivation the rugged Terradisc range of compact disc harrows is available. Featuring working speeds up to 18kph and patented Twinarm technology, these innovative disc harrows incorporate large 580mm diameter discs with excellent clearance for working large amounts of chopped straw and stubble. Reliable, even with high levels of straw and mulch, the Terradisc is able to incorporate harvest residues without blockage. Unrivalled mixing, combined with a level finish, ensures the best conditions for subsequent operations. Models range from 3m to 10m and we are operating a demo Terradisc 6001T.

FERTILISATION
Fertilisation now accounts for a major portion of costs on all arable farms, and thus has a considerable influence on profitability. Accurate application is the key to success and Kuhn – long-time market leader in spinner fertilisation – pioneered hydraulically-driven machines with its EMC (Electronic Mass Flow) which can now be PTO-driven. The Kuhn Axis models feature an enormous working range from 12m to 50m and a capacity of 1,000 to 4,000 litres, with the mid-range 30m to 40m implements being the most popular. Advanced technology means that the fertiliser dose on each spreading disc is regulated second-by-second according to the torque detected on each disc. The EMC detects and corrects flow variations instantly, effecting the greatest economy and eliminating the risk of clogging. Even distribution is exceptional thanks to the CDA system common to all AXIS fertiliser spreaders.

The many hi-tech aspects and precise delivery offered by Kuhn spreaders mean that thousands of pounds worth of savings can be achieved when treating large acreages.

Another economic route to effective fertilisation is offered by Hardi sprayers. The line-up includes trailed and mounted versions with fixed or folding booms in widths from 12m to 42m and a variety of capacities up to 4,000 litres.

SEED DRILLING
Speed is important when seeding large acreages and the Rapid seed drill from Väderstad carries out seedbed preparation, levelling, drilling and re-consolidation in one pass. At the heart of the Rapid is an ingenious depth control system, adjustable from the cab. The system uses each packer wheel to control the drilling depth of two seed coulters, while at the same time applying re-consolidation. Thanks to this, Rapid is able to create an even emergence in all conditions.

The single disc seed coulters penetrate the soil with a very high coulter pressure upwards of 150kg, resulting in an exact seed depth even at high working speed. The Rapid places the seed at a greater depth than the working depth of the cultivating front tools, providing important seed-to-soil contact and ensuring that the seed is surrounded by undisturbed soil, providing all-round water absorption. Behind the seed coulters, the large packer wheels effectively close the seed slots, creating optimised seed-to-soil contact in all conditions.

The Sky EasyDrill is the result of 39 years of product development and is one of very few direct drills that can truly be regarded as a direct drill, a mintill, a grassland and a cover crop drill. It’s low disturbance disc coulter and press wheel not only ensure minimal weed seed germination, they also keep the horsepower requirement to a minimum. For example, a 3m EasyDrill typically needs only 90hp to pull – considerably less than many other implements – which reduces fuel consumption, tractor weight and therefore damage to the soil structure when drilling in damp conditions.

Seed drill technology is also a key part of the business at Pöttinger, ranging from the simple mechanical Vitasem models, to the technologically-advanced Aerosem mounted pneumatic range and the range topping Terrasem – available in working widths up to 9m. Full variable rate control is a standard feature across the Pöttinger drill range.

Terrasem models can be specified with conventional cultivating discs or the all-new Wavedisc low disturbance system and a choice of row spacings at 12.5 and 16.7cm. Models can also be specified with a fertiliser option which allows simultaneous exact placement of fertiliser in rows adjacent to the seed.

You can find out more about all the machinery listed here by contacting any T H WHITE Agriculture branch – we would also be very pleased to arrange demonstrations so you can be sure you are choosing the right equipment.

Väderstad is currently offering a subsidised finance deal 1+ 1@0% (one payment, and balance one year later at zero percent interest) – don’t delay!

The task of maintaining an estate, as well as transporting people and loads across rough country is made much easier by a tough, reliable UTV. That’s particularly true now that the shooting season is well under way and UTVs don’t come with better credentials than the Honda Pioneer.

In many ways the Pioneer, available in two or four-seater models, was the obvious choice for Alex Hogg, gamekeeper on a 7,000-acre estate in Peebleshire. The land he manages ranges in altitude from 800ft to 2,200ft, well up into the snowline. The estate has walked-up grouse, driven pheasant plus fallow and roe stalking.

“We already had a Honda ATV, so it was a natural decision to go for a Pioneer when it came to a utility vehicle,” said Alex. “I have to admit that I was apprehensive at first as to whether a utility vehicle would be as nimble as the ATV, but I need not have worried. It’s well-geared for the hills and just as grippy as a bike, if not more so. I hardly ever use diff lock, even on our hills.”

What really sealed the decision for Alex was the question of reliability. “Hondas are just second to none when it comes to starting first time, whatever the weather.”

He did add on a full cab as well as a heater, which he says is a blessing for keeping warm and demisting the windscreen and the all-important binoculars when out stalking. He also opted for a load carrier in the back. “We often use it to clear up fallen trees, often packing it full of wood and tools. It’s great to be able to take the load liner out and still have clean seats.”

Alex has also found the Pioneer to be economical. “It hardly uses more than an ATV, so it doesn’t burn as much fuel as you’d think.”

One of the main advantages of running a vehicle such as the Pioneer is how light the vehicle’s footprint is. “It hardly leaves a mark, yet it has the room to carry folk and plenty more.”

The Pioneer is used every day on the estate, to fill feed hoppers, take stalkers out on the mountain or to ferry guns around on shoot days. “We have the four-seater model, which is just great for taking up to three guns out to their pegs easily and quickly, especially those who are a bit older.”

The ATV is still used to spin out grub for the birds, but most other tasks are now done with the Pioneer.

It’s easy to see from Alex’s experiences on a particularly challenging estate just what a boon the Honda Pioneer could be on land in Wiltshire, Somerset, Gloucestershire or Berkshire! And the really good news is that the Pioneer is available now from T H WHITE with 0% finance. What’s more, if you buy a Pioneer before 29 March you can also get a genuine Honda half cab for just £999+vat – PLUS a TraKKing device fitted as standard to all new Pioneers with a free-to-download app.

Want to know more or try out a Pioneer? Just contact our ATV/UTV specialists Tim Rochfort (07973 911934), or Simon Knight (07860 912763).

Manitou’s new pivot-steer telehandler, the MLA-T, combines bags of sheer tear-out force with exceptional levels of comfort and durability, and is available now from T H WHITE Agriculture and Construction.

Designed in-house from the ground-up, the MLA-T features a tighter turning circle than competing machines and, unlike many pivot-steer handlers, it shuns standard torque converter transmission for Manitou’s own hydrostatic M-Vario Plus transmission, which is more commonly found on higher-spec, rigid-frame machines.

Powered by a Deutz 4.1-litre, 143hp diesel engine, the MLA-T has plenty of ‘grunt’ for all the construction and agricultural tasks that it will be required to perform. On the road it can be driven at up to 40kph, but a number of advanced technologies are built-in to deliver maximum power at slow speeds with the engine driving two separate axial piston motors, one of which is automatically disengaged above 20kph to reduce oil displacement, assist cooling and reduce fuel consumption.

An eco-mode can also result in a fuel cost saving of around £440 over 1,000 hours when full power isn’t needed.

Built for hard work in harsh environments, the MLA-T features a heavy chassis with widely spaced top and bottom pins to mitigate stress on the pivot joint and the prop shaft runs inside the chassis for maximum protection.

Matching equivalent rigid machines, the MLA-T can lift 3.3t at full articulation and up to 5t for a straight tipping load, while optional ‘intelligent’ hydraulics offer three most useful automated functions – Quick Lift which combines raising/lowering with extension/retraction; Bucket Shaker saves the operator from making repetitive movements; and Return to Load to automatically return to a pre-set position.

Completing the package is a comfortable working environment and brand new cab design with easy control via a JSM joystick and a digital display dash. Maintenance is easy thanks to a central greasing block.

We think you’ll love the MLT-A, particularly for livestock farming and construction applications, but you don’t need to take our word for it. If you would like to see and try the machine for yourself, please contact your T H WHITE Agriculture or Construction representative.

As colder weather approaches be ready with our professional, stainless steel LOGIC road/rock salt gritters.

Choose either towed or deck mounted configurations, from a variety of models such as the wheel-driven 270ltr GDS 150, suitable for towing behind an ATV, compact tractor or UTV.

The GDS Salt Spreader uses a moving-floor conveyor system similar to highway-sized salt spreaders to deliver the salt to the spinning disc system. The hopper will hold 270 litres (approx. 335kg) of road/rock salt and is capable of spreading all types of material, including wet rock salt, grit and sand. A unique agitation system and conveyor floor ensures wet or dry material can be spread effectively and accurately by a spinning disc. Working speeds of up to 15mph and road speeds between sites of up to 30mph mean wide areas can be covered quickly and efficiently. Road and non-road versions are available with prices starting from £5,930 plus vat.

The deck-mounted PDS150D, (suitable for applicable UTVs) is powered by a Honda engine and is ideal for roads, pathways, city centres, cycle routes, car parks etc. At a spreading rate of 10g/m2, on a road 3m wide, 11km can be covered with one load. Prices start from £6,795 plus vat.

Additional models are also available – forklift-mounted or to fit to a tractor 3-point linkage.

For all the details please contact T H WHITE Agriculture or Groundcare: Tim Rochfort on 07973 911934; Simon Knight on 07860 912763; or Stuart Fry on 07774 212926.
