We can also help you move outdoor equipment on the farm or if you're moving from farm to farm, for example:

• Farm equipment

• Water tanks

We can plant any kind of crop, with whatever drill is required at the time.

We have three types of Drills:

• Roller Drills - which drop the seed into cultivated ground and then roll over the ground.

• Direct Drills - which drill straight into the ground without needing to cultivate first.

• Maize Planters - these can either direct drill or conventional drill.

Examples of crops we plant include: Turnips, Swedes, Rape, Kale, Chicory, Lucerne, Barley, Oats, Triticale, and all types of Grasses

Preparation is the key to a good crop, from Ploughing or Tandem Discs to Power Harrows with a touch of 6 mtr wide Leveling. If necessary, we can also use an Aerator to rip up any compact ground, either before or after a crop depending on the time of year.

We have access to our own Certified Quarry, supplying fines from 55 mm for drainage chip and overlay drains, down to "superfines" which are 0mm - 6 mm in diameter - good for tracks and races, avoiding the problem where larger fines get stuck in the hooves of your animals and make them lame. One of our customers recently went from 20 lame cows in a season to zero lame cows the following season after putting down our superfines on his races.

Also, because we don't wash our fines the clay remains which helps bind the fines which then sets hard.

Our Quarry Services include the following:

• Hough

• Digger

• Blading

• Levelling (3mtr) and adjusting the camber so water runs off it.

• Rolling

• Truck and Trailer Cartage of metal to spread on tanker tracks and driveways.
