Cultivation well covered
Well known for making power harrows, rotary hoes, sub-soilers, mulchers and combination drills, Alpego has for 45 years used Swedish steel in delivering machines of high quality and durability.
A new name in disc harrows and chisel plows has arrived here with the release of Gascon International. Products include disc harrows with V-shape offsets to X-shape tandems in working widths from 3.0m fixed frame up to 6.0m hydraulic folding versions.
Pottinger Novacat rear mounted disc mowers from 2.62m up to 4.3m cutting widths will be on display. New features will include hydro-pneumatic suspension and an optional hydraulic ram fitted to the left hand lower link for easy attachment and removal from the tractor.
The new X8-ED double rear mower-conditioner with new 'vortex' conditioners will interest operators looking for high capacity, along with Pottinger's popular Alpha Motion front mounted mowers.
New twin rotor rakes from 6.9m to 7.6m working widths will be released along with a 1252C four rotor swather rake.
A new range of mounted and fully trailing tedders from 7.81m to 13.2m working widths have a unique headland lifting system, and newly designed tine arms which produce an even spread pattern to maximise productivity and increase forage quality.
Also on display will be Pottinger loader wagons with automatic knife sharpening said to save up to 5L fuel per hour.
Alpego power harrows are available in working widths from 2.5 up to 7.0m with 400hp rated transmissions. And this maker's Roto-Pick one pass rotary cultivator, with automatic leveling board, leaves a smooth no-ridge seedbed.
This machine is reckoned ideal for one pass cultivation direct into existing pasture or after crops, to save time and cost.
A new Cambridge ring design (Plus Ring) has extra weight added to the roller for improved soil consolidation. Its castings are stronger to improve reliability and service life.
A three year warranty underscores this improvement.
Rollers from 5.3m up to 8.3m widths, with hydraulic folding frames down to 2.5m transport width, are available.
Two Hatzenbichler model seeders will be on display with from 8 to 16 outlets to suit 2.5m to 12m working widths, and suitable for fitting to any power harrow, cultivator or roller. They offer a versatile and cost effective way to quickly sow forage crops, turnips and grass.
Hatzenbichler seeders use a positive cog belt and pulley seed drive system, and come in manual or electric variable drive options. They seed as low as 1.0kg/ha at speeds of 2km/h.
Bogballe GPS controlled twin disc fertiliser spreaders suit dairy, cropping and drystock farming; Bogballe's noted 4x overlap accuracy is renowned.
Bogballe uses environment-friendly border spreading controls that are simple to calibrate and adjust with optional variable rate controllers with or without weigh scales.
Manip tractor front loaders will be on site, showing new designs and features. Models and sizes are available to suit all tractor makes and models.
