OUR SERVICES

Crop Spraying

Spraying is undertaken using 2 self propelled Househam sprayers Harrier 4000 and a Merlin mk2 4000.

Having 2 sprayers maximises timing and minimises wash outs.

A water bowser can be provided if needed for larger jobs.

Both sprayers are equipped with 24 meter booms and high clearance for taller crops eg. Desiccation of Oilseed Rape For low ground pressure both machines are fitted with Michelin 600 Xeobib tyres which travel very well in wet conditions.

The machines are both equipped with gps shut off to minimise overlaps and auto steer.

 

Baling and Wrapping

We are able to offer the following baling services:

• Round baling up to 5 feet in height
• Square baling 120cm x 90cm , 120cm x 70cm and 80cmx 70cm

Silage and Haylage can be baled with all balers. All balers except the 120cm x 90cm can offer chopping too.

All bales are wrapped using our Kuhn wrapper. Wrap can be supplied or use the customers own wrap.
