Abrey Agricultural Ltd say they have reached a significant landmark this year, notching up 100 sales of Ziegler header trailers.

Ziegler’s range includes a four-wheel steer trailer that the company say is selling strongly in the UK, particularly to farmers who have to negotiate narrow gateways, awkward road corners and tight farmyard accesses.

Toby Abrey says he believes the trailers could help users gain a number of important practical and agronomic benefits.

“Enabling the combine to tow and manoeuvre the header efficiently may transform what had previously been a job that needed two people and machines into a one-person operation, releasing staff and tractors for other tasks, which could be crucial during a busy harvest.

“As well as making it easier and quicker to move harvesting equipment around, that extra manoeuvrability might enable some farmers to considering investing in a bigger combine or wider header.

“That could increase their harvesting capacity and speed, which could help reduce both their labour costs and the risk of being disrupted by the weather”.
