McCarthy Contracting runs a seven furrow, Vogel & Noot reversible plough. Vogel & Noot ploughs are known for their ability to plough very hard ground where other ploughs have difficulty. The plough has hydraulic vari-width which means that we are able to plough furrows ranging from 16” to 21”.
Being a European plough, a better finish is achieved, including better weed control through trash being buried properly. This is a reasonably large plough, which enables us to cover more ground quickly without having to increase tractor speed. A better ploughing job means less cultivation is required before the crop is sown.
In most cases once ploughing has been completed, a final seedbed can be achieved with one pass of our three-metre Alpego power harrow and cambridge roller.
For different terrain and soil types we operate a range of other cultivation equipment including:
Our experienced staff are able to look at the ground to be worked and decide what cultivation options are the best for the final result that is required.
We offer both direct and roller drilling as mentioned on our drilling page to compete the job.
In other words we have ‘different tools for different tasks’.
