Other equipment experience

I have spent the majority of my career as sprayer operator specifically: an AgriFac Condour 5, 40m with 2 line, 163 individual nozzle control and pulse width modulation. Other sprayers have included Bateman RB-16 24m and RB-35 32m, John Deere trailed sprayer R900I 36m and a RB-35 with Avadex adaptation. All of these included precision farm equipment.

Regarding crop cultivations, I have experience using mounted and semi-mounted ploughs with furrows up to 4 and 12. In terms of other methods of cultivation I have used: minimal till, disc cultivating, power harrows, tined cultivators, subsoiling, pressing and rolling.

Whilst drilling I have used combination, tine and direct drilling. However, this was mainly direct drilling, using a Vaderstad Rapid 6 and 9 meters and for other types of sowing a Khun 3m combination and Weever tine drill 6m.

In addition to this I have also qualified as a class 1 and 2 HGV driver.
