Another year, another LAMMA and the popularity of the NEC venue seems to be sticking around. Besides anything else, most visitors, hauliers and exhibitors would agree that a LAMMA 2020 at the East of England Showground may have been a muddy one! After two years, we can certainly say that the new venue has raised the profile of the event, leading many agricultural suppliers to kickstart their year at LAMMA with big machinery launches and impactful stand layouts.

Agri-Linc Ltd are pleased to announce that we are returning to the NEC for LAMMA 2020! 2019 has been a mammoth year for farmers. With the dry heat of Harvest 2018 now a distant memory, many farmers face swamped fields and all the difficulties that accompany the vast quantities of rain we’ve seen in recent months. A new year is a fresh start, and LAMMA 2020 presents a great opportunity to discuss your requirements and plan for the forthcoming year.

In this age where space is scarce, the shipping container is really coming into its own, if not becoming fashionable. Besides serving their more obvious purposes of security, self-storage and transportation, they become bars, art galleries, student accommodation, offices, home gyms and disaster shelters.

How a hay baler works depends on which type of baler it is. There are two main types of hay balers – Cylindrical (Round) and Rectangular (Square).

Both shapes of bale have their own benefits and uses. Round bales, due to their shape, can be left in the field as they are more weatherproof (rain runs off them), and can also be rolled out in the winter if used for bedding.

It’s the right time of year for farmers to start thinking about silage and hay solutions. A quick glance at the Farmers Weekly Inventions Competition latest entries shows a host a homespun bale handling confections. What does this tell us? Well, demand for bale handling equipment is certainly there, but perhaps farmers are having to seek their own, purpose-built, low-cost alternatives to meet their requirements. This, besides anything, wastes costly time on the farm.

On the 1^st April, we acquired the Brock Parts division of J Brock & Sons, a renowned machinery dealer based in Essex, which resulted in us opening our new Agri-Linc Thaxted Depot.

On Wednesday 12th & Thursday 13th of June, we are hosting a 'PROFORGE® in Action' event at the Bourne Agri-Linc Depot. This is a one-off pre-season opportunity to see PROFORGE® Harvest and Tillage equipment in action and secure your machine from stock, with exclusive finance options now available (subject to status).
