SpreadPoint launch entry level spreader
SpreadPoint showed its new entry-level MQ dung spreader range at the show for the first time. The new range consists of an eight-tonne (t) MQ-800 and the 10t MQ-1000. The new range of rear discharge muck spreaders complements the higher-spec MK range, but is designed at a lower price point.
The MQ features manual tensioning chains, whereas the MK features self-tensioning chains.
The MQ features helical rotors, in comparison to the hardox used in the MK range. The MQ features parallel sides, versus tapered sides in the MK range, while the MK range has a suspended drawbar and the MQ has a fixed drawbar.
The MQ range starts at £22,950 (€26,600) plus VAT.
The central delivery model offers telescopic working width adjustment from 6.80-7.70m.
Irish SIP importer, Farmec showcased the first Star R 770/24TC twin-rotor rake model to arrive into Ireland at the Northern edition of the AJS Spring Farm Mahcinery show series at the Eikon Centre in Lisburn last week.
The latest central delivery model offers telescopic working width adjustment from 6.80-7.70m, and a quoted ability to rake up to 10ha/h. Swath widths from 1.20-2.10m can be formed to suit a range of balers and foragers.
Each rotor features 12-tine arms while rotor height is mechanically adjusted as standard. Meanwhile, mechanical rotor suspension and electro-hydraulic rotor lift is also optional.
Displayed was the range-topping 120hp 3.120 model which features a 3.6-litre four-cylinder FPT engine.
Northern Ireland Claas dealer, Erwin showcased the latest from the Axos range of compact loader tractors. Aside from additional horsepower, the updated series offers longer service intervals (600 hours) and a new cab.
Displayed was the range-topping 120hp 3.120 model which features a 3.6l four-cylinder FPT engine.
The range is offered with either a 40km/h six speed, manual transmission and manual shuttle as standard. However, a twin range 24F/12R Twinshift transmission comprising six manual gears and two power shifts and a left-hand shuttle can be optioned.
A 60l/min hydraulic pump is fitted as standard which can be optionally increased to 90l/min by means of a twin pump configuration.
Rear lift capacity tops out at 5,300kg. The roomier cab features improved visibility thanks to the low-profile bonnet design and slim cab pillars.
Other options include a panoramic roof for improved loader visibility, LED worklights and 38in rear wheels. The range starts from €83,000 plus VAT.
New Q-Bed diesel and electric cubicle bedder models
Plant Mec showed its latest Q-Bed 324 E electric battery power model alongside the new 326 models.
Armagh-based self-propelled cubicle bedder manufacturer, Plant Mec, showcased its latest Q-Bed 325 E electric battery power model alongside the brand new 326 models.
As an alternative to the trusty 10.2hp Hatz diesel engine, the Q-Bed 325 E electric model is equipped with a heavy-duty 100Ah lithium-ion battery, which allows for one hour run time on a full charge. Total charge time is four hours using a standard mains power supply.
The unit features a switchable low-power and high-power mode. Otherwise, dimensions and performance of the 3WD machine are identical to its proven diesel counterpart.
The new Q-Bed 326 model was also on display. It replaces the widely popular 324 diesel model and includes a number of subtle updates. The more prominent updates include the ability to engage the brush independent of the hopper auger and blower as well as a switchable 1WD and 3WD transmission.
BEF 55 cubic metre nurse tank
Features included a bidirectional hydraulic steering drawbar.
Clover Agri Sales once again exhibited a wide range of slurry handling equipment from its range of brands including a Bartlett Engineering and Fabrication (BEF) nurse tank.
Although a brand, unheard of by many, BEF has been manufacturing nurse tanks for almost 10 years now.
The 55 cubic metre (12,000-gallon) model on display was kitted out on 560mm flotation tyres and a commercial axle, full length side tubes front and back, black two-pack external paint and an internal chemical resistant paint to help prevent corrosion.
Other features included a bi-directional hydraulic steering drawbar, galvanised access ladders, LED lights, and the ability to mount an umbilical slurry pump.
Fleming presents new V2 tanker range
The model on display was the ST2000C, black edition, fitted with a 7.5m Fleming Agri trailing shoe.
Fleming Agri Products exhibited its brand-new V2 range of slurry tankers at the event. The model on display was the ST2000C, black edition, fitted with a 7.5m Fleming Agri trailing shoe.
Not only are all tanks full seam welded inside and out, Fleming says it paints all tankers internally as well as externally for better corrosion resistance.
The 6mm-thick barrel is also internally baffled for added strength and come dribble bar/trailing shoe ready as standard.
Other specifications of the black edition model on display included a full commercial,10-stud stepped axle. Meanwhile, 2026 V2 models will be equipped as standard with galvanised mud guards, a galvanised PTO rest and a beacon.
Available in 7.5m and 9.2m working widths, the Agri trailing shoe is equipped with the proven Truflo macerator. Core to the applicator’s design is the patent pending cantilever lift system which allows maximum clearance for transport.
Fleming says that its bi-lateral float system ensures constant contact with the ground even in undulating ground conditions.
Kverneland shows new generation drill
The refreshed range is available in 3m and 4m working widths.
Kverneland’s new generation one-pass mounted seed drill, which replaced the popular DA and S drill models, was on show. Named the Saterra, the refreshed range is available in 3m and 4m working widths and further builds on the heritage of its predecessors which originally started in 1982.
The Saterra range is fitted with the well-known CX-II coulters which allow individual pressures up to 50kg. The CX-II coulters can be optioned without press wheels. The Saterra offers a hopper capacity of 750 or 1,000 litres while the mechanical metering system allows seed rates from two to 380kg/ha while accommodating all seed sizes. A full range of optional equipment is available such as pre-emergence markers and following harrows etc. Extending its flexibility, the Saterra can be mounted on existing Kverneland power harrows and any other soil preparation tools.
