Steve Jones chose Vogelsang

He uses the SwingUp Slide and other spreading systems to differentiate himself from contracting companies

My relationship with Vogelsang equipment started in 2012 when I purchased our first trailing shoe system with Vogelsang distributors. We noticed that our direct competitors were offering splash plates as their service, I felt that we needed to stand out from them and offer something different. So, we looked into a more direct and precise way of applying the liquid manure.

My business is based in the heart of Cheshire and we cover a large area of surrounding ground for farmers. Most of the ground we tend to has been grazed and therefore makes it very uneven, the SwingUp Slide trailing shoe system is perfect to run along the ground and follow its contours.

Since using Vogelsang equipment we have been able to offer customers a more economic and environmentally friendly way of manure application. The product is spread below the plant leaves, this method offers significant reductions in odour and contamination, as well as ensuring maximum nutrients are applied to the ground. My customers have been impressed with the reduction in fertiliser costs because of the minimal nitrogen losses and accurate application from the Vogelsang system. We are definitely providing a high-quality service for our customers and a large part of that is down to the machinery we use.
