A new wider 5.5m trailed Combi Disc will be on show at LAMMA 18, extending this versatile and popular range of multi-purpose cultivators.

Entry level VIP Rollers have been added to the HE-VA range of rolls, offering high output rolling, whilst retaining many of the features of the well regarded larger models.

The NEW Giga Vitesse 02 range has a 2.25m pick up, new side augers and 44 knives feeding a 1.54m rotor to give a 35mm chop. 

Adding a forage wagon into the fleet may be a relatively new move for some silaging contractors, but, operating with two forage wagons, a Yorkshire business requires less labour and less fuel than self-propelled forager and trailer systems.

The machine is ideal for use in badly poached fields which require restoration.  It can also be used - minus the seeder - for harrowing grassland to remove trash and stimulate grass growth, and for molehill levelling.

OPICO Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Cooks Midlands to their Strautmann dealer network.  Based at Stanton under Bardon in Leicestershire, the new dealership is ideally located to support OPICO's existing Strautmann customers in the Midlands.

As well as costing less to mix rations and feed the herd on a daily basis, this machine comes with a bespoke, monthly, serviced hire package which replaces the need for capital investment.

Farmers wanting to upgrade their drying facilities should look to recirculating batch dryers which have the added benefit of boosting bushel weights. Two different dryer ranges are available from OPICO: the diesel-fired Magna range and the gas-fired GT range.

Act now to remove soil compaction in grassland,and gain in the spring from an earlier turnout and increased grass production, advises agronomist Ian Robertson of Sustainable Soil Management.

OPICO’s range of diesel-fired Magna grain dryers now have even better longevity thanks to modifications to components in corrosion-susceptible areas.

Three years ago, Somerset farmer & Verti-Mix owner Darren Coombes switched from using an off-the-shelf parlour concentrate to one tailor-made to balance the TMR and support higher milk yields without fertility loss. 

Strong build, a high level of specification for the money and consistent seed placement put the Maschio Alitalia top of the list for Wiltshire arable and beef farmer Derek Robinson when it came to selecting a new power-harrow combination drill. 

Strautmann self-propelled diet feeders bring opportunities to improve efficiencies in time, labour, fuel and more accurate ration mixing.  Uniquely OPICO is offering a contract hire package which negates the need for large capital investment and instead spreads the cost monthly over 3, 4 or 5 year terms.

The EasyDrill can operate on consolidated ploughed land, within a min-till regime or as a direct drill and into stubble or grass, but its ability to operate in heavy trash and standing crops means it offers extra possibilities for cover and companion crop situations.  

Designed to be more manoeuvrable on narrow rural roads, the machine hydraulically splits into two vertical sections which, at a 2.13m transport width,make turning into tight gateways a much easier task.

At the Grassland and Muck Event, OPICO will be launching a 6.3m hydraulic folding version of its HE-VA Sward Rejuvenator. Designed for overseeding grassland, but also suitable for the reseeding of cultivated ground, this new wider machine, coupled with an Air 16 seeder, enables higher work rates to be achieved.

"One particular machine stood out for its versatility – HE-VA’s Combi-Disc. The simple fact that everything on it is hydraulically adjustable means it can be run as a straight sub-soiler or disc-harrow or any combination of the two.”

OPICO has appointed Chris Carter in a new role to expand the technical and sales support.

HE-VA has launched a further upgrade of its popular trailed Combi-Disc.

HE-VA has added an ultra-low disturbance Subsoiler seeding package into its line-up of cultivation kit.
