Machinery designed to work with the soil

Since the government has seemingly failed to promote the SFI as a transition for farmers into regenerative agriculture, direct drilling and no-till practices, Fentech Agri said it felt compelled to share its support for farming and regenerative agriculture.

“Although we are ‘just another machinery manufacturer’, we whole heartedly believe in regenerative farming practices and encourage conventional farming business to move into a more sustainable approach,” the company said.

“Our machinery can be used in all circumstances, but really excels into cover crops, direct into stubbles and rejuvenation of grassland.

Moving soil where required to get a successful chit, but not too much in between rows to help discourage weed seeds.

“The tine over disc debate will never end, but it’s the ongoing financial benefits of the Simtech tines which needs to be considered.

“Longer drilling windows, less affected by weather extremes, able to penetrate the hardest ground, but also suitable in the wetter end of the season by keeping overall drill rig weights down and offering solutions such as front hoppers to maximise the capability of lower hp tractors.”

Options such as wet weather kits and compaction rollers when required which are all modular and interchangeable allow a level of bespoking of a machine to suit the soil conditions.

Fentech added: “If we can’t find a drill that will function on your land, your land shouldn’t be farmland!

With minimal wearing parts and low maintenance, Fentech Agri machinery is built to help you get on when you need to. Less downtime, consistency across all crops and less in season stress.”

All machinery is designed to work with the soil and improve biology, reduce the need for artificial fertilisers by mineralising nutrients in the seeding zone via vibrating action of the tines.

The more work nature can do, the less you have to.

Tine seeders for arable and pasture in various widths and mounting options give the flexibility to find the right machine, with pneumatic and mechanical options available depending on the level of accuracy required.

Groundswell has a wealth of information available on best practice and Fentech can offer its input to help steer your decisions in the right direction.

“Please come and have a chat, even if it’s not machinery specific, we are more than happy to help.

“Find us on demo plot DW5 where we can showcase some of our extensive range with live demos and practical explanations of key components,” the company concludes.
