Services
Ploughing
Our ploughing services utilise advanced Kuhn Multi Master and Lemken Opal reversible ploughs for optimal soil turnover. These 5-6 furrow systems ensure efficient field preparation while maintaining soil structure. With GPS guidance and experienced operators, we achieve consistent depth and coverage across various terrain types.
Square Baling
Our Massey Ferguson 2170XD square baler produces dense 120x90cm bales suitable for straw, haylage, and silage. The high-output system enables rapid field clearance while maintaining bale integrity. We offer loading solutions for transport optimisation and seasonal storage requirements.
Round Baling/Wrapping
The McHale Fusion 3 system combines fixed-chamber baling with integrated wrapping technology. Producing 1.25m diameter bales up to 700kg, our solution ensures forage quality preservation through rapid wrapping and film protection options for silage storage.
Hedge Cutting
Our McConnel 6.5m reach flail cutter handles both routine maintenance and overgrown vegetation. The 1.5m head system efficiently manages annual hedge trimming while tackling larger growth through hydraulic power and precision control systems.
Fertiliser Spreading
The Reco Econov X40+ spreader delivers precision fertiliser application across 36m widths. Equipped with weigh cells and GPS integration, our system ensures accurate product distribution while maintaining environmental compliance through section control technology.
