From our point of view we’ve also been told that we have to sanitise machines after anyone has put a finger near them……looks great from a customer relations point of view……new customer comes to stand and we have to whack the anti bac out over anything they’ve gone near 🤣

There is currently rumblings of it being postponed again given everything going on. 
we’ve been told that stands must not be over crowded with machinery to allow more people space than normal amongst a host of other restrictions from the organisers. 

Yes, we (Agri Market Insight & Access) will be having a stand there, currently sorting out machinery for it.

To be honest after seeing all the vehicles and equipment available, I'm disappointed that not much of the machines from the Alpine Farming dlc didn't make the cut into the new game, considering they were new tooling not too long ago.

I think you’ll find that there will be some big mod drops with the missing kit in just like with the previous versions. 

It’s releasing for Mac but not mobile platforms the same as all previous PC/Mac/Console versions. 

I know that there are several players on here of Farming Simulator 19, with FS22 launching over the next 24 hours depending on what platform you play on and where in the world you are, what are your thoughts on it?

One of my other hobbies is YouTube and I do run an FS based channel, I got a shock Friday morning when I was granted early access to the new game and all I can say is that if you’re sitting on the fence over buying it after what FS19 was like then don’t, yes there have been one or two glitches but it’s way better than 19 was at launch. Definitely worth getting in my opinion but here’s a few screenshots from it as a taster. 

Anyone else remember the Beetiegate affair 🤣

No, it only uses 330ml per metre so not enough to have that effect on them. Works out to around 1200-1300 litres a hectare which is nothing really when it comes to watering a crop. 

I’ve been over near Tenbury Wells carrying out another demonstration of the Caffini Grasskiller in a different situation this time. Had a different design of Kubota tractor on the front of it to what we’re used to seeing as well!

Looks like you need to be an accurate driver otherwise you might be strimming down the bushes

Won’t be strimming down anything with that, uses 1000 bar of water pressure to destroy the weeds. Arm is able to swing around the plants when it comes into contact with them. 

Today I carried out a demonstration of a Caffini Grasskiller for a local black currant grower who would like to get away from chemical use for weed control

Been a busy couple of weeks with work but it’s not just farm machinery we sell at work. Took this 4 inch capacity tracked chipper out on demo yesterday, they were so impressed with it that I didn’t have to bring it home again!

Would that be classed as a fogger or a sprayer Gavin, Or maybe even in winter a snow maker,???

Regards

Joe.

It’s a mistblower or turbine sprayer Joe. It has 10 nozzles pointing into the air canon which fires the droplets around 50m to either side or 40m vertically. Me and my mates have Nick named it the crowd control sprayer! 

This is a sprayer that I sold earlier in the year for a very specific job. It’s the first one of its kind sold into the U.K. market by Caffini, they actually double checked if I’d got the right machine prior to placing the order. Off to see them again tomorrow so we’ll see how they’ve been getting on with it.

i cant even see your old topic gav,  but  i did un archive barry’s weise toys one a while back , if you have a link i will have another go for you , as it wasnt straight forward and took me a few goes .

i am assuming most of this new kit is itallian made by the names?? 

I tried a few times to alter its status but it kept locking up again so will stick to this one now. 
 

Yes we do sell a lot of Italian built machinery and some very niche market ones as well. 

Still lurking, can’t remember the last time that I bought a model though, had other priorities thanks to Covid wiping most of my business out. 
collection is still here but looking to probably sell a lot of it off as it’s all in boxes, will just keep what I have in the display cases.

Given the original topic is archived and despite being able to dabble in the dark arts of moderation in here not being able to change its status…..there’s been a few changes in my work life since the last topic was posted in. 
 

Thanks to Covid just about wiping out my business as an agricultural training instructor I’ve had to seek work elsewhere. Luckily through a purchase I made last year I came into contact with a company called Agri Market Insight & Access down in Devon. I now work a minimum of 4 days a week for them as their product specialist for Caffini Sprayers and HoneyBee swathers & combine headers along with involvement with cultivation equipment as well. I also do a lot of video marketing, brochure production and photography for them across the whole of the UK. 
 

Here’s a few pictures from the past week of our Nardi Fast Gladiator cultivator at work at the Normac event here in Norfolk and also my demonstration Caffini sprayer. 

We finished the PDI and set up of our demonstration sprayer today and had a play with it to make sure that it was ready to head off to Scotland next week for some demo’s
