Where Vintage Meets Modern

If you’re a fan of vintage tractors, Grange Farm in Grandborough is the place to visit. They have a remarkable small private collection showcasing these historic machines. While these vintage tractors were advanced for their time, farmer Henry Evans now relies on the high-powered Case Quadtrac for his modern farming needs.

Managing Clay Loam

Earlier on in the year, heavy rainfall compacted the soil at Grange Farm. To address this, so a Sumo Trio was used to lift, aerate, and dry out the soil before the drilling season began. The clayey loam of Warwickshire can form large clumps, which pose challenges for drilling if not properly managed. To create an even seedbed, a disc cultivator like the Väderstad Carrier, a Horsch Joker, or a Great Plains X-Press, can be used to break up the lumpy soil effortlessly and ready for the drill.

One crucial factor for Evans was ensuring that the used cultivator could withstand the power of the Quadtrac. For this, he turned to his trusted farm equipment supplier, AMTEC, to explore both new and used equipment options.

No Jokes about this Cultivator

Horsch became the standout choice for Evans due to the following key features:

Size Range: An 8-meter working width that is both compact and capable of keeping up with the Quadtrac.
Height Clearance: Reduces clogging.
Operational Speeds: Can be pulled up to speeds of 20 km/h.
Hydraulic Power: Adjustable depth and levelling control on the go.
