| Give Yourself A Lift (Farmers Weekly, September 2005) |
|

A Recent Health & Safety Executive (HSE) survey revealed that one in three farmers and agricultural employees in the UK is affected by back pain, either all the time or on most days. A poll of farmers attending safety awareness days found that 80% admitted to having "a bad back". A painful back can cause considerable misery and can affect morale, productivity, family life and hobbies. A linkage-mounted crane provides a low-cost solution to many lifting problems for farmers.

| It Pays to Do It Right! (Dairy Mail - October 2003) |
|
| |
Pasture topping has always been an integral part of an effective grassland management system. The problem is, in South Africa, the grasses that are the most productive are often the most difficult to manage. Kikuyu with tough stems and the propensity to develop unpalatable growth, if not cut low enough, is one of these. A normal rotary slasher will cut it, but unfortunately, tends to leave the cuttings in a tight windrow that yellows and restricts the growth of new grass underneath it. Falcon Agricultural Equipment designed the Falcon Fieldmulcher specifically to tackle this problem. |
