Dit is ‘n fantastiese artikel in die ProAgri-tydskrif in Mei 2019 oor die gebruik van ons Amazone UF 1801-spuit met die bykomende FT 1001-tenk. Die artikel gaan oor die plaasbestuurder, Mauritz de Beer, van Rilu Farms, ‘n groot melkplaas naby Kroonstad, en sy sukses met die spuit, insluitend die skoonmaak en instandhouding daarvan.
Falcon, together with many national and global agricultural mechanisation and journalism communities, are mourning the loss of Joe Spencer (86), who passed away recently in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal, after months of battling ill health.
It is well understood that when small scale and emerging farmers adopt mechanisation into their farming practices, a significant increase in yield is realised, resulting in a higher income for the farmer. The multiple benefits, including labour saving technologies and improved farm productivity, contribute to our countries overall improved food security, as well as reduced migration to urban areas as farmers, continue with a career in farming.
One of the most essential parts of keeping turf healthy is regular mowing. The simple advantage of mowing grass regularly is that it increases the quality of the turf. In general, most turf requires mowing once a week and increasing to twice a week in the faster growth months.
This is a fantastic review by a farmer in the Bethal area, of his successful use of our Amazone 1801 field sprayer, with a front tank, from the October 2018 issue of ProAgri SA.
Falcon has become known in the agricultural industry in South Africa as the benchmark for quality, durability and safety of locally manufactured rotary cutters. As a company, it stands firmly behind the slogan for the brand: “Falcon stands the test of time, generation after generation.”
With the current climate of farmers focusing on improving efficiency on the farm, and with one of the biggest costs for farmers being fertiliser and spreading, extensive savings can be seen when using a precision spreader which offers improved and accurate spreading efficiencies. In addition, using a quality implement with a long life-span enables a significant amount of money to be saved over a long-term period.
One of the most common questions we are asked by farmers is to explain the differences between our Slasher and Haymaker® range. Many farmers will use one rotary cutter for a range of operations on the farm, and although both our implements are built specifically for versatility, it is important to know the differences to ensure you choose the implement that is most suitable to your needs.
The ability to operate a ZA-V, or ZA-TS, fertiliser spreader mounted up front is a very interesting option, particularly for those users who are looking to spread two different types of fertiliser in one pass. As oppose to spreading blended fertilisers through just one fertiliser spreader, this option offers the opportunity to set up each spreader optimally to the properties of the relevant fertiliser and thus to achieve the perfect lateral distribution for both fertilisers. Now, for the first time, Amazone introduces this possibility of twin fertiliser utilisation.
