Crop establishment company gears up for LAMMA
- Grange Machinery presents a number of new innovations at LAMMA 2025, held at the NEC Birmingham from 15-16th January
A family-run company based in Holderness, East Yorkshire, Grange Machinery manufactures agricultural machines and wearing parts that offer affordable solutions to farmers across the UK, Europe and as far afield as New Zealand, recently launching in Australia.
The Grange Machinery product range helps lower the cost of crop establishment whilst improving soil structure and efficiency in the field.
Grange machines are highly adaptable and can transform existing systems that may already be on the farm, offering greater flexibility and efficiency.
A brand new development is the Front Mounted Disc Bar, designed to be fitted to the front linkage of the tractor to allow the user to add pre-cultivation pass ahead of a drill or to aid in a primary cultivation system.
The Front Mounted Disc Bar consists of a full width set of wavy discs, able to cut through trash and cover crops in front of the drill, clearing the path for the drill to both improve seed to soil contact and aid in trash flow. It can also prevent crop residue adhering to the coulters and causing blockages. More details of this useful new tool will be unveiled at the show.
Grange Machinery is renowned for working closely with farmers to refine and enhance its products, which has led to the development of a new point design, as Managing Director Rhun Jones explains.
“We are always driving to offer wearing parts of the best quality and durability that provide customers with the most competitive £/acre ratio.
“Having machines spread over several continents, all with varying soil types, has led Grange to develop point technology further. The addition of tungsten tiles and a slight change to the angle of the wings has allowed the wearing part to perform even better in some of the most challenging and abrasive soil types that we see machines working in.
“The combination of tungsten paste and tiles now sees the wearing part durability increase significantly. It will also offer the key elements of low disturbance loosening, that is positive soil uplift with minimal surface disturbance.”
Grange Machinery will also show its new Tine-Drill Toolbar, designed to work with a variety of different front tanks supplying seed and fertiliser to the drill coulters. Unique features include individual ground contour technology, hydraulic seed depth control, the option of a hydraulic levelling board system and rear double harrow.
The very first production machines have proved themselves in the field during this very tricky season.
Also fresh from being put through its paces for the first time this year is the new Top-Tilth Cultivator. This features a dual disc system that is hydraulically lifted/lowered into work independently of the frame to offer a 3-in 1 cultivation implement. It can be used as a low disturbance loosener with the discs lifted out or as a full width shallow disc cultivator with the legs hydraulically lifted out or as a seedbed preparation tool with all components engaged. It has also been put to good use with a seeder.
Full details of all these important developments can be obtained by visiting stand 18.520.
