A new Bredal fertiliser spreader and a walk around New Holland's tractor plant
Bredals new F10 trailed spreader proved its accuracy in fertiliser when Alistair Chambers tested it. We also report from Basildon Essex on how New Holland tractors come to life.
In this week’s machinery section we take a look at the Bredal F10 trailed spreader. To most farmers and contractors, Bredal is known for its lime spreaders but, as Alistair Chambers proves, this specially designed fertiliser spreader does exactly what it is built to do.
The combination of technology in both tractor and spreader results in remarkable spreading accuracy. Sophisticated automation takes care of most operational aspects of both tractor and spreader.
Tractor factories are different all over the world. This week we travel to the New Holland plant in Basildon, Essex, to see how one of the last remaining tractor plants in the UK assembles its 14 different tractor ranges on its 100-acre site.

Changes
The plant’s long association with Ford and latterly New Holland has seen a lot of changes to tractor size since it first started producing them in 1964.
The all new Volkswagen Touareg will arrive in Ireland later this summer. Alistair Chambers got to drive it in Austria this week before it gets to these shores. At the car’s first public viewing, he found it to be full of technology and handy for finding lost animals at night.
For all those who have made it to FTMTA Grass & Muck today, we would like to welcome you to our stand located at plot number 66.
