lime & fertilizer spreading
With our fleet of three self-propelled, high-capacity, low ground pressure machines, together with two tractor-drawn spreaders, we can be literally be in more than one place at a time; and with our highly skilled operators at the controls each machine has the potential to cover 400 acres per day.
To aid accurate spreading, each machine is fitted with the latest GPS guidance system ensuring consistent bout widths are maintained.
To allow the machines to run efficiently each spreader has its own loader, which is towed on a trailer, making each unit a ‘one man independent operation’.
As a result of our vast spreading experience we have the capability to spread a wide range of materials to a variety of surfaces, including road gritting and topsoil spreading to sports pitches. However, our principal aim in this field is the supplying and spreading of a wide range of liming and fertilizer products to the farming industry.
The Company is the regional distributor for Fibrophos P.K. Fertilisers . This cost-effective compound fertilizer is available in various grades
Other products available include:
A full soil analysis and fertilizer advice programme by our FACTS qualified staff is available. Should the proposed straw-burning power plant at Tansterne (see ‘Straw Baling’) be approved, another product potentially available for us to spread would be the nutrient-rich fertilizer in the form of ash from the combustion process. The concept of using straw as a power source and then returning the residue to land is an excellent example of renewable energy and sustainability.
