    Agricast launches its strongest grassland point

    After great success with the Grass Land Extra (GLX) point, Agricast has introduced the GLX Ultra – said to be the strongest grassland point in the range.

    It features a Tungsten Chip Hard facing on the shin, a large Tungsten Tile on the nose and tiles on the leading edge of the wings, with chrome hard facing on the nose and wings.

    “The last couple of years have been particularly challenging for farmers with prices rising dramatically across the board,” says William Robinson, Agrcast’s managing director. “When it comes to wearing metal, we’ve listened to our customers who are looking for the best combination of price, value for money and durability. We’ve designed the new GLX Ultra Point to be strong, resilient, and attractively priced.”

    It is 245mm high, 260mm long, 115mm wide and weighs 5.5kg. It is been offered at a special launch price of £89.70 per point.

    One farmer who has been pleased with how Agricast’s GLX points have performed is Thomas Witter of R and J Witter Farms in North Lincolnshire.

    In fact, as well as using the original Agricast GLX point, Thomas was the first customer to order the new GLX Ultra.

    “We have used Agricast’s GLX points on 350 acres, and the point and wings are still in very good condition. They’ve surpassed any expectations we had, and they’re fantastic value for money, especially when you compare them to some OEM points we used—they only did 100 acres, and were totally worn!” said Thomas.
