Gav836 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Gav836 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 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. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 I’ve been checking over and getting some publicity photos of a new Sator OT180 onion topper fitted with hydraulic depth control and electrical auto height adjustment. This is a new manufacturer to the U.K. market and they look to be well built machines 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 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!

Gav836 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
