James Cheney
“My name is James Cheney, I work for W.B. Daw & Son in Staffordshire. We grow potatoes, wheat, oilseed rape and beans, covering 2,500 acres of cereals and 1,000 acres of potatoes. We’ve been running the Condor now for some time now. She replaced two 4,000 litre machines and has filled the gap fantastically.”
Very little downtime
“Our Agrifac Condor has now clocked up 2,300 hours since we took delivery, with very little downtime apart from just the regular routine service. The machine has done everything with us, even last year, which was one of the wettest seasons on record, we sprayed every acre of potato on time with no issues at all. The boom ride, especially in the area with potatoes we’ve got is fantastic as is the comfort from the cab.”
Comfortable
“I suffer a lot with back issues in other machinery and tractors on the farm, but I can get off after an 18-hour day with the Condor and I feel as fresh as I was when I got on it. The machine is a pleasure to drive, really. Track width control is brilliant. Everything we do is on 1.83 meters but having the option of pushing the wheels out wider comes in very useful.”
After sales and service
“One of the big benefits we have noticed from working with Agrifac is absolutely the after sales, service and backup. Reducing to one self-propelled sprayer in the fleet, we needed it to be reliable and available to run all the time. The main concern when we went with Agrifac, because they were quite unknown in the area at the time, was could they cut the mustard? Over the years, they have certainly proved that they can. If we ring up with a breakdown, somebody is with us either the same day, depending on time, or the next morning very early and parts are always available, so we have very little downtime whenever the sprayer needs some TLC.”
