Quality job at a fair price
The purchase of a Heath QM bale chaser will help keep N P Davies Agricultural Contractors ahead of the field this season. Based near Claverley, Bridgnorth the business was established in 1981 to offer customers in Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and West Midlands areas a first rate quality job for a fair price.
Nigel runs a mix of grassland equipment; including Claas reverse drive triple mowers, tedders, twin and four rotor rakes, six Massey Ferguson balers and several McHale square bale wrappers.
The introduction of a Heath QM bale chaser will enable bales to be collected and stacked quickly and efficiently, reducing ground compaction and leaving fields clear for the next cultivation .
A vast amount of hay and straw is baled for customers and Nigel is always looking for straw to purchase in the swath.
Massey Ferguson large square balers of various sizes provide a good quality dense bale in all crop conditions. They are fitted with moisture meters and the trained operators are supplied with hand held moisture meters to ensure that each bale is the same consistent quality.
A substantial quantity of haylage bales are made and sold each year, distributed to local and nationwide equestrian yards.
N P Davies also harvests a significant acreage of grass, wholecrop and maize servicing farms and anaerobic digesters using a Claas Jaguar 900. A specially imported corn cracker with two sets of processors is fitted to produce an exceptional sample in wholecrop and maize.
The forager runs with Bailey 16-tonne trailers on huge 650 flotation tyres to reduce ground compaction and fitted with ABS load sensing for increased safety in the field and on the road.
A recent new investment in a heavier and more powerful JCB 416S loading shovel and heavy duty buckrake has been made to ensure maximum compaction in the silage pit for a high quality feed.
Nigel runs the business with wife Julie at the administrative helm and a regular team of six self-employed drivers.
N P Davies has a comprehensive in-house maintenance programme which helps provide a reliable service, reducing in-season breakdowns.
The business operates a fleet of Fendt Tractors from 180 to 330hp and also has manure spreaders, cultivation and drilling equipment including ploughs, power harrows up to 6m wide, combination and maize drills with optional granular and micro granular fertiliser application. N P Topping, mulching, wood chipping, ground clearance services and road and track restoration services are also offered.
