GRASSLAND work is now being shaped by two things: tighter working windows and rising equipment costs. When conditions line up, you need to move - but being ready to do that has become significantly more expensive.

Machinery that was once a routine upgrade is now a serious investment. Mowers, tedders, rakes and balers are all common requirements during silage season. Slurry tankers and fertiliser spreaders are critical for nutrient efficiency, while reseeding machinery, rollers, harrows, toppers and compact tractors all play a role in keeping ground and paddocks in good condition.
