Innovation is our future…..

By James Hudson23 September, 2018Simple Post Layout

Farming never stands still, over the years the cost of production and income have not increased inline with each other. In order to be sustainable, agriculture has continuously innovated to increase production from less resources, more livestock or acres per labour unit, machines have increased in size and technology has stepped in to take on tasks where automation is possible.

In November I will be going to Eurotier to see the newest innovations in livestock farming, one particular machine that is of interest is the Schuitemaker Innovado automatic feeding machine. Schuitemaker Innovado Automatic Feeder

This was launched at Eurotier 2014 and I have been watching its development ever since. In my opinion, this is one of the better options for anyone looking for automatic feeding for livestock.

I am sure there will me even more exciting innovations to investigate, admire and potentially be instrumental in their introduction into UK agriculture as I have been over the last 15 years…

A day for looking outside Agriculture and learning…

By James Hudson30 June, 2018Simple Post Layout

On Thursday we visited Hillhead 2018, the event is a biannual show in a quarry in the hills of Derbyshire displaying all that is involved with quarrying, mining and associated industries. With some massive kit, impressive professionalism and insight into a industry that, like farming, doesn’t stand still it was an enjoyable day. Certainly some interesting approaches to problem solving that may be suitable for use in Agriculture. Click the link to see more.

CAD n Cut service “Delights” another customer.

By James Hudson28 June, 2018Simple Post Layout

This week we delivered another CAD n Cut project to a North Yorkshire farmer who said he was “Delighted” with the results. Alex Chapman was looking to fit a row of tines to the front of a recently purchased second hand press. The tines are intended to knock the top of the ploughing which can cause issues with drilling using GPS in certain circumstances. We look forward to seeing the tines fitted. I you have a project you may need help with, get in touch, call James on 07803 765440.

J F Hudson Ltd use Solidworks to get it right first time.

Agricision OnTrak customer feedback very positive!

By James Hudson14 June, 2018Simple Post Layout

As a dealer for the Agricision OnTrak GPS guidance system for agriculture we have been working hard throughout the beginning of 2018 to get systems installed on farms in Yorkshire and the North East. Being as most were sold using the app’s simulation mode during a static demo in farm yards and farm buildings we are now hearing from customers how they have been getting on. Some of the feedback includes, accurate, great value for money and one customer said he ‘loves it!’ Other advantages include being able to operate at times of day which was previously not possible with one customer saying it had ‘transformed fertiliser spreading’. To say we are pleased would be an understatement. Agricision fits very well with our business and the support from Adam and his team helps us deliver a service we can be proud of.

Pumpkinator goes to work….

By James Hudson12 June, 2018Simple Post Layout

J F Hudson Ltd Pumpkinator Pumpkin Weeder

The prototype pumpkin weeder we built has been set to work on a farm in Shropshire for it’s second season after further development and reconditioning. Pumpkins are very delicate and weeds can overpower them quickly in the right conditions. Traditional weed control methods like spraying are not an option and that leaves manually hoeing which is time consuming and tedious when you have 4 acres to do. The Pumpkinator made weeding quite satisfying and I even ended up with tan lines!

Solidworks helps us get it right first time…

By James Hudson06 June, 2018Simple Post Layout

A busy afternoon drawing excavator attachments on Solidworks. With 3D modeling we can accurately design attachments and products to minimise the fabrication time in the workshop. We can also export the different parts to a file that is easily interpreted by a laser cutter to cut the steel to the exact dimensions we require.
