Jonny says the Rotoking cuts down on the tractor use, considerably. And it’s not too hard on the tractor itself either.

“In our situation, it saves a fair bit of time. And anything I can do to save on time is valuable.”

Scott Croft farms 250 ha of crops, 650 Perendale sheep, and Angus cattle in heavy country at Lakeside, Canterbury. His crops include wheat, barley and grass-seed, Watties peas, and radishes.
Scott says his previous plough was simply getting a bit old for the task of turning over more than 80ha a year.
A fan of ploughing; “It’s a good way of breaking up the ground here, especially where there’s a bit of compaction”, Scott says he got his 5 furrow Agrolux from FarmChief for a demo to see what it could do. “It ended up staying here.”.
Scott says he’s had no problems with the plough and it has proved its worth, burying stubble and crop residue and giving a clean finish.

“It goes really well. The big diameter packer roller just keeps working through.

I had the horsepower, so I decided to go for it. It certainly covers the ground. All around, a nice, reliable machine.”

Although it was the advanced hydraulics that first drew Colin to his Veenhuis Profiline 16,600L Slurry Tanker, he is also acutely aware of the need to successfully manage environmental issues and soil fertility. The tanker enables him to recycle the nutrient-dense manure and reduce odour in one go.

His tanker injects the effluent back into the soil providing a great start for barley, wheat, and pasture and removing the nuisance normally associated with conventional “broadcast” systems.

“It was amazing. What used to be 5-6 hours work was done in just 2 hours with one stirrer, and with less horse power.”

Frank said he used to rely on top-dressing to keep production up but now finds the effluent recycling does the job for him.

“It’s a great system and very easy to use. And FarmChief are good people to deal with.”
