  • Reduced reliance on concentrated feed

  • Increased daily liveweight gain and faster finishing times

Is your machinery holding you back?

Even the best grass can be compromised by poor cutting quality, worn parts, or unreliable machinery. Peak grass performance requires machinery that operates efficiently when timing matters most.

Order your harvest plastics today - net wrap, bale wrap and clamp film - with 6% savings and no payment due until September. With global plastic supply tightening due to tensions in Iran, UK stocks are under pressure, so locking in your supply early has never been more important.

Used in equipment such as aerators and cultivators to penetrate and work the soil. Due to constant contact with the ground, they naturally wear and may bend or dull over time. 

Critical for cutting and maintaining grass. Regular use causes them to become dull or damaged, which can affect the quality of cut and increase strain on the machine.

Support rotating parts within the machinery and are subject to continuous movement and load. Over time, wear can lead to noise, vibration, and reduced efficiency. 

Transfer power between engine components and cutting or drive systems. With prolonged use, belts can stretch, crack, or slip, reducing machine performance.
