Background

Oli Robinson is a second-generation sheep and arable farmer at Stoneton Moat Farm, a family-owned and operated enterprise. With a deep-rooted passion for farming and a commitment to advancing the farm's productivity. In 2019, Robinson invested in a new New Holland T7.315 tractor, opening the doors to higher horsepower opportunities and allowing him to take on demanding tasks with greater efficiency.

The Challenge

Robinson needed a reliable and efficient solution to manage the autumn stubble cultivation on his farm. The task required a cultivator capable of handling tough soil conditions while ensuring optimal soil preparation for the next planting season. Efficiency, versatility, and robust compatibility with the new tractor were critical factors in his decision-making process.

The Solution

Robinson opted for the Väderstad TopDown 400, a flagship product of Väderstad and a key offering in AMTEC’s extensive inventory of new and used farm machinery. This versatile cultivator is renowned for its soil cultivation prowess, making it an ideal choice for his requirements.

Implementation

Behind the New Holland T7.315 tractor, the Väderstad TD400 made light work of the stubble. Its advanced design allowed for efficient soil preparation, effectively breaking up and mixing the soil to create an seedbed. The robust engineering of the TopDown ensured that it could handle varying soil conditions with ease, maintaining consistent performance throughout the operation.

Results

The implementation of the Väderstad TopDown 4m resulted in several key benefits:

• Efficiency: The machine’s ability to perform multiple cultivation tasks in a single pass significantly reduced the time and effort required for soil preparation.
• Versatility: The adaptable design allowed it to handle shallow and deep tillage, ensuring consistent results across the entire field.
• Reliability:  The robust construction and advanced engineering of the machine ensured dependable performance, reducing the risk of downtime and maintenance issues.
