produce a reliable machine that
will perform effectively, but be
relatively simple and cost effective
to operate and maintain,” says
sales manager David Main.
Promising superior performance
and boom widths of up to 42m is
the new 900 series Campo sprayer
from Maschio Gaspardo. Capacity
ranges from 4,500 to 6,600 litres
and even distribution is ensured
thanks to the central unit which
has been newly designed to
absorb shocks from uneven
ground while keeping the bar free
at all times – allowing it to react
and reposition itself.
Slurry equipment
Whether you’re looking for
spreaders, sprayers or spinners,
it’s easy to get inspired by the
varied options when it comes to
slurry distribution.
Joskin will be debuting its
Volumetra slurry tanker at this
year’s event – recent winner of the
‘Machine of the Year 2017’ award.
Despite a tank capacity of up to
26,000 litres, Volumetra is a
compact tanker with a self-
supporting structure, designed to
minimise its total weight. It is
designed specifically for
volumetric pumps so it can be
efficiently fitted with both spiral
and lobe pumps, while limiting the
overall dimensions; however, a
vacuum pump can also be
installed.
Joskin will also be presenting
two new slurry injectors that are
set to aid precision application.
Solodisc XXL has a spacing of
18.75cm, allowing users to
improve the distribution of slurry
and adjust the injection depth. To
keep the weight of the machine
the same, while increasing the
number of discs, Solodisc XXL
features discs made of metal and
NBR nitrile rubber, making them
twice as light as previous models.
The Exacta TLX GEOspread
spreader is the latest product from
Kverneland making its debut at
Cereals. The spreader has a newly
designed CentreFlow system with
8 capacity vanes on each disc for
a perfect overlap – regardless of
speed. With 2 metre sections, 4
load cells and a reference sensor,
it can do high speed spreading,
under all circumstances. It is
ISOBUS compatible and AEF
certified and can be operated in
combination with the Kverneland
IsoMatch Tellus, IsoMatch Tellus
GO or any other ISOBUS
compatible tractor terminal.
Tyres
Environmental efficiency is
becoming increasingly important
with pressure on farms to reduce
carbon outputs. Alongside
choosing the right tractor, farmers
can now opt for an eco-friendly
tyre sealant which is proven to
reduce both puncture costs and
downtime.
“The new heavy duty range of
sealants help to maintain the
correct tyre pressure meaning fuel
costs are reduced and tyres last
longer,” says Alex Burnand,
director at Air
