Bunning returns to AgriScot this November showing its popular Lowlander 150 HBD, equipped with weigh cells running through ISOBUS helping operators to precisely apply and record every tonne of product.

The Lowlander 150 on display is part of Bunning’s horizontal beater and spinning discs (HBD) range, from 8t up to 40t. The twin dynamically-balanced horizontal beaters feature Boron shredding cutters to break down bulky material to an even consistency. The 1.1m large diameter spinning discs have five adjustable blade positions to apply the product evenly across widths up to 24m and beyond.

Bunning’s UK and Ireland sales manager, Ben Johnson, says: “Scotland is an important market with a broad mix of farmers, growers and contractors who all need to spread manure at the correct times, and with the required accuracy, to maximise applications.

“The Lowlander 150 HBD on stand is an ideal contractor machine but is also an option for larger dairy farms and arable producers requiring flexibility to control applications in-house.”

Bunning will highlight how its full spreader range can achieve an even and targeted application with every tonne. Manure is a valuable input, rather than a waste product as it may have been considered in the past, so having the ability to apply it accurately, at consistent target rates, and at desired widths, is essential for all farmers.

Ben continues: “With weigh cells, operators can enter a target rate into the controller, which the spreader achieves by controlling the floor speed in relation to the tractor’s forward speed. Weigh cells are a factory fitted option on all Bunning spreaders and support with setting up and maintenance is handled by Bunning and its dealer network.”

Bunning will be on stand 221.
