3. Easy Petrol Post Driver (classic 35) with post driver adapter
Where to find it: Hall 7, Stand 610
What it costs: £1785.00 (+VAT)
With the aim to make fencing less time and labour intensive, the Easy Petrol Post Driver has the ability to handle any size of post up to four inches in diameter. A portable and lightweight tool, it aims to make it easy for a solo operator to get the job done safely and quickly.
Made in Australia, with a five year warranty, the high-impact hammer runs at 1720 BPM to ensure that posts are driven into the ground quickly and easily, even on steep or difficult terrain. The light and reliable Honda 4-stroke engine options allow operators to use the machine all day without fatigue.
4. Plug&Cool 2.2 KW Grain Cooling Fan
Where to find it: Hall 8, Stand 500
What it costs: £534.03 (+VAT)
Plug&Cool is the largest supplier of grain cooling fans in the UK, with an expanding product range. The Plug&Cool 2.2kW fan is the biggest and most powerful fan within their range with claims that it can cool grain piled up to 12 metres. Aimed at arable farmers who require optimum performance from fans, whether they have a lot of grain to cool or need grain conditioned as quickly as possible.
The brand boasts incredible energy efficiency across all its products and also offers a five-year warranty when the fan is combined with its starter (£49.68 ex. VAT). When combined, the fan has a thermal cut-off switch, to maintain the fan and avoid any damage.
5. The SPOT Trace Tracker
Where to find it: Hall 18, Stand 445
What it costs: £138.00 (+VAT)
This small, inexpensive bit of kit can be found on the Global Telesat Communications stand. Attending LAMMA Show highlights the increasing cost of kit and, with rural crime levels on the rise, it may be time to consider using trackers on expensive equipment.
The SPOT Trace Tracker utilises advanced satellite technology to provide real-time tracking, notifying the owner via email or text when movement is detected. Compact and IPX7-rated for water resistance, the device is durable and discreet, making it suitable for various environments.
