Our thanks to Tony Higgins of W J Higgins and Son at Middlegate Farm for hosting an open day looking at the effects of changing machinery policy and reducing establishment costs on a Somerset farm.
Under scrutiny was how crops and agronomy are affected when reduced input establishment methods of the Sumo DTS are used. What was most apparent to the visiting growers was the quality of the crops following the DTS especially on headlands and fields that had previously had heavy traffic.
As a rough figure, this grower is saving around £20/acre in cost compared to his old system, another reason to choose Sumo!

Thanks to Tony and also Sumo Drill Specialist Marcus Ainley and Sumo Southern Area Manager Richard Hales for an informative and enjoyable afternoon.

David will be joining the Pottinger team again this year at the Grassland event at the Bath & West Showground on 07 May 2015.

The whole range of Pottinger grassland machinery will be on display, from mowers, tedders, rakes and forage harvesters to pick-up wagons. In conjunction with Berry Farm Services there also will be a Sumo GLS with seeder on display.

We look forward to seeing you there.

If you would like a demonstration of any of our Pottinger machinery please give us a call.

Our colleagues in France have just launched the new and improved Emily Mobile Rotor Bucket and Emily Rotor on Frame.

The new Mobile Rotor Bucket, suitable for front loader and telescopic handler, features a new drive system for improved efficiency and increased width available to up to 2.8m.

Meanwhile, the new Rotor on Frame, with the option of two hydraulic motors for higher performance, comes in a more heavy duty design with a chain driven rotor for optimal motor protection. Two models of rotor are available, Standard for maize and Intensive for maize, wholecrop and chopped grass silage.

If you are interested in an Emily silage cutting attachment or any of our other products please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01373 832228 or 07974 353633.

Despite continuing dreadful weather, we enjoyed a really good day at the AMES Show, and were very pleased to see such a large number of existing and new customers on the stand. Richard Hales from SUMO joined us on the stand to provide his additional expertise on Sumo products. Thank you to everyone who came in to see us. We look forward to seeing you there again next year.

On 11^th February we were very pleased to host ‘An Evening with Pottinger’ at the George Inn in Longbridge Deverill.

Following a welcome drink, the evening kicked off with ‘An introduction to Pottinger’ presentation by Shaun Groom (Pottinger UK General Manager), leading us through the fascinating history of Pottinger, and how they arrived where they are today. Rodney Dingle (Pottinger Area Sales Manager) then talked us through an overview of the impressive range of Pottinger machinery that we are able to offer you.

The evening was rounded off with a delicious carvery, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all. Thank you to everyone who attended, making this such a successful event.
