Come and see these machines at Mystery Creek Fieldays
Tulloch Farm Machines cordially invites customers to visit at Mystery Creek and view the machines on display. Of particular interest we have the New Zealand launch of the new Krone Comprima CF155 XC and the Monosem NG Plus4 precision planter.
Krone - Comprima CF155 XC
We are all used to the terms fixed-chamber and variable-chamber when talking round balers. Well, Krone has come up with a world first - a fixed - chamber round baler that is capable of producing a range of bale sizes from 1.25m to 1.5m in 5cm increments.
Monosem - NG Plus4 Extend
Tulloch Farm Machines has recently been appointed the New Zealand distributor for the world-renowned Monosem planters from France and the USA. The model NG Plus4 Extend on display demonstrates simple yet innovative features to ensure optimum germination - and the high degree of versatility achieved by its ability to change row spacings from 45cm to 80cm in 5cm increments in a matter of minutes. For those interested in additional concepts in optimising maize yield: talk to us about synchronised twin-row planting from Monosem.

75 years of Einbock
Einbock celebrated 75 years of business in 2009. From humble beginnings when Leopold Einbock opened a blacksmith shop in 1934, the business has grown to the successful company it is today, headed by Leopold Einbock III.
Young vigorous pasture is key to successful farming today, and since 2005 when we first introduced the Einbock Pneumaticstar seeder it has primarily been used for sowing new pasture into prepared ground. Just recently we sold two units to farmers who want the machine primarily for pasture management and restoration — exactly which the machine was designed for. Taking a 6-metre machine into existing pasture and scouring it out and undersowing at 8kph makes a lot of economic sense. We will report the results in the next newsletter.
