One of the first features that impressed us was just how easy it is to set up", "You can put anyone on the seat"

"It was very easy to set up and communication has been faultless - my phone is more complicated."

"Accurate bout matching in the absence of tramlines and section control that minimises double dosing ensures that the best use is made of the fertiliser being applied."

"This precise on/off point is achieved by monitoring the tractor's forward speed, up to 10 times/second."

"The paint on these machines is really good, and this combined with extensive use of stainless steel, should mean used examples that have not been damaged ore stored out in the elements hold up well"

Headland spreading "The results were good with only 0.24% of the fertiliser falling beyond the boundary"

In field spreading "Bogballe's CV of 3.7% was the lowest uncorrected figure in the test"

"We have developed a program where you can Google your field, define your headland and the machine will decide where to start and stop"

"Bogballe remains devoted to building one product - mounted fertiliser spreaders"

"Summary: Spreading all the tested fertilisers to 24m the Bogballe/KRM and Rauch/Kuhn gave the best results with CoV's of 6% to 9% at the first attempt"

"Bogballe (KRM in the UK) has now introduced Section Control Dynamic (SCD) which offers automatic section control, headland stop/start and variable rate application"

"Bogballe is one of the first agricultural implement manufacturers to have developed an 'app' to allow its products to be operated by a tablet or a mobile smart phone"

"Changes in the weather and differences between batches of fertiliser can have a significant effect on the characteristics of a fertiliser, and therefore how well it spreads, and continuous weighing allows the machine to account for this"

"I've already applied some N with the spreader and it looks extremely accurate - on 464ha of rape I applied 8 bags and was just 10kg out. I could not have achieved that level of accuracy with our previous spreader."

"with the right technology it is possible to make the fertiliser spreader work harder and save valuable setting-up time, while improving accuracy of applications."

"Previous profi tests showed that in accuracy terms the M2W Plus performs very well. We can now add that in the field its easy to operate."

"Every £1 spent on fertiliser can return as much as £2.50 in higher grass yields. But only if nutrients are evenly applied by a machine which has been set to produce the correct spread pattern."

"Accordingly, the spreader spreads fertiliser over an area equivalent to twice the working width being fertilised. In doing so, it spreads fertiliser over the entire field with quadrupole overlap and the spreading pattern is close behind the tractor."

Each of the companies operators works autonomously, towing a trailer with a JCB Loadall telehandler on board for filling in the field, and with a spreader towed behind.

"The Bredal is robust, simple to operate and offers the capability of handling a wide variety of materials."

"We've saved a man and a machine and the integrated crane and bucket has allowed us a greater degree of flexibility; we can send the spreader out as a self-contained unit with a spreading schedule and don't have to worry about logistics."

"There is a high initial outlay for the Bredal, but we feel that the reliability and accuracy they give us in the application of both lime and Cropkare fertiliser justifies the decision."

"The two Unimogs and their modified KRM Bredal twin disc spreaders enable them to cover up to 500 acres/day with each machine."

"I have struck with Bredal as they are reliable and the manufacturer and our dealer provide excellent back up"

"The cranes are reliable and have low running costs" Mr Dutton says, "And they are faster then a telehandler; the fast slewing speed enables us to load our 10t spreader in five minutes, including clearing up."

"As a busy contractor he's found that the investment paid for itself quite quickly, both in saved time and the freeing of a second tractor or materials handler for other work.."

"We really wanted to move less soil and plant more accurately"

"The Sola can also operate in all cultivation methods; Direct, minimum-tillage or plough-based"

"The change to the Soladrill had definitely helped the black grass control because it drills the crop with very little disturbance to the surface soil,"

"The design of the elite tine coulters gave me the precise depth control I wanted."

"Easy to set up and use, the 4.5m Disc-O-Mulch stands out for its fine quality of work across a wide range of conditions and depths."

"We have close relationships with our suppliers, who accept our input to make the product better for UK conditions; we see then as our production companies, they see us as their sales team."

"Its been a great success for Ernest Doe and KRM and has meant good service and the best technology for farmers of East Anglia and the South East."
