KEITH RENNIE MACHINERY TESTIMONIAL
KRM M35W Anthony & William Birkett
Anthony Birkett and his son William of Birkett Farming have an 800-acre mixed farm . Their farm , near to Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders , consists of crops , suckler cows and fattening cattle . They wanted a new
fertiliser spreader and consulted with Neil Douglas , their sales representative of Rickerby ’ s Cornhill branch , who talked it through with a KRM representative .
Anthony said , “ They were very helpful and informative about the range of KRM spreaders , and we decided to
purchase a KRM M35W . We have found the machine easy to set up and use . Louvred vents have been added to the top guard controlling the air stream to the spreading discs giving improved spreading performance .”
KRM have also re-designed the chassis to make servicing
and cleaning easy . Hinged guarding and fold down lights and slide out mud guards give access to areas once hard to reach . Anthony concluded , “ We have been very satisfied with the performance of the KRM M35W . and look forward to many future seasons with it .”
