Innovative, versatile technology from WSB
Farmers are facing a unique set of challenges. After recent drought conditions, many regions are now experiencing the effects of sudden and substantial rainfall. This weather has created a pressing need for effective and adaptable solutions for fertilisation and weed control. WSB Distributors, with its focus on innovative agricultural technology, is stepping up to help farmers navigate these difficulties.
At the forefront of WSB Distributors' offerings are two key pieces of equipment: the Marshall Multispread and Goldacres trailed sprayers. Corrie, Group Sales Manager at WSB, explains that the Marshall Multispread has become the leading all-purpose fertiliser spreader in Australia due to its unmatched versatility. "It caters to a variety of agricultural operations," says Corrie, "from large-scale dairies to small orchards and broadacre cropping."
This versatility is crucial in the current climate. As Corrie points out, "The recent weather patterns have presented unique challenges. After a prolonged drought, the sudden rainfall can make it difficult to determine the right time and method for spreading fertiliser." The Marshall Multispread, available in two series with varying functionalities, offers a solution for every farmer.
What sets the Multispread apart is its innovative D3 Spinner design. This technology, a testament to Roesner Pty Ltd's commitment to research and development, allows for impressive spread widths – up to 36 meters for granulated products like urea and superphosphate, and up to 16 meters for non-granulated products such as lime, gypsum, and manure. The D3 Spinner design ensures efficient and accurate fertiliser application, regardless of the material. This minimizes waste, promotes optimal crop growth, and reduces environmental impact by preventing over-application and run-off.
Additionally, effective weed control and liquid fertilisation are essential for optimal crop production, and Goldacres trailed sprayers are designed to excel in both "Goldacres has a long-standing reputation for manufacturing high-quality agricultural sprayers," says Corrie. "Their trailed sprayers are renowned for their durability, performance, and innovative features, making them a popular choice among Australian farmers."
The unpredictable shift from drought to sudden rainfall can trigger explosive weed growth, impacting crop yields. Goldacres sprayers are built to handle these conditions, providing farmers with the tools for effective weed control and precise liquid fertiliser application. Features like high-capacity tanks, durable booms, advanced spray systems, and user-friendly controls ensure efficient operation, maximising productivity and promoting crop health.
Alan Bennett, a farmer in Western Victoria recently upgraded to a Goldacres Prairie Pro Series 2 sprayer and has seen significant improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. Alan highlights the benefits of the larger tank capacity, wider boom, and advanced features like auto boom height control and the 3TS rapid fire system. "The increasing technology in these boom sprayers in the last ten years is astronomical," says Alan. "Goldacres have actually listened to the operators and built a sprayer to suit."
With the Marshall Multispread and Goldacres trailed sprayers, WSB Distributors is empowering farmers to overcome challenges, maximise yields, and cultivate a thriving future for Australian agriculture. The team is ready to assist farmers in selecting the perfect Marshall Multispread and Goldacres trailed sprayer for their unique needs, ensuring they are well-equipped to face the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.
