SPRING IS UPON US!
20th March, the day that is considered as officially being spring, is only round the corner. It’s also a busy time of the year for farmers and anyone working in the agricultural sector. Although harvesting doesn’t take place until the later months of August, September and even October, the prep work needs to be started.
The majority of the prep work for the upcoming harvest isn’t generally started until March time. During the month, farmers will begin breaking up earth, and fertilising the ground, ready for seeds to be sown.
In April, potato crops are planted, as well as peas, and cereal crops such as wheat, rye and barley. It is a very time consuming, and strenuous task for farmers to keep up with. The UK grows 61% of the food it eats, according to the National Farming Union (NFU).
Come May, farmers are still busy enriching land and spreading muck to ensure the survival and growth of their crops. Building and fence repairs are also carried out during this time. These areas are often used to house livestock during the winter, and for shade during the warmer months. It is important that this is done every year.
Why not complete the jobs at hand, and make it easier and much more time efficient?
GET READY FOR THE HARVESTING SEASON
Any large farming business, and individuals that own a vast amount of land will have already invested in plant machinery to make their jobs easier. They will also have invested in plant accessories in the form of attachments to further develop their land. We understand that a combine harvester is used in most scenarios, but here’s how we have assisted companies in the form of excavator attachments.

RIPPER
As the name suggests, the ripper is a fantastic attachment that is used to rip materials with ease. Most operators will use the ripper to remove any tough, unwanted tree roots from the ground, and to even break up hard ground. This would be effective when tackling the ground after the cold winter months. Additionally, if a bucket was used to complete the same task, it would save any unwanted stress trying to dig up a solid surface.
View our recent blog post and find out more about using a ripper attachment. It could be a life changing attachment for farming and agricultural work.
ROOT PLATES
The Masterhitch Root Plate is a relatively new attachment. Initially, a customer contacted us to create a bespoke root plate attachment to fit their Komatsu PC210. However, since then we have others also show interest in this attachment for the purpose of landscaping. Despite it originally being used to dig below roots and transplant shrubbery and bushes whole, it can also be used for plenty of other tasks including:
- Moving large loads of livestock feed
- Picking up and transporting animal faeces
- Transplanting crops
- Removing a large amount of ground dirt ready for seeds to be sown
We can make the root plate attachment to fit a range of excavators. Get in touch with us today to get a quote.
RIDDLE BUCKET
As the ground prepping gets underway, there will undoubtedly be a lot of land to cover. The soil needs to go through rigorous checks and plenty of fertilisation to ensure it is the best quality for growing crops. The Masterhitch Riddle Bucket will efficiently sort through any material that has been dug up. Brick, concrete, stones, vegetation and other debris can be separated from soil using this particular excavator bucket.
We can make these buckets to fit a 7, 14, 21 and 30 tonne excavator. Anything outside of our standard sizes, we can also make a bucket to fit your machinery. All of our buckets are made using the best, top grade components ensuring durability and longevity.
