Techneat Engineering is looking to increase access to its range of products by introducing a new hire scheme.
Launching at Lamma, the scheme will enable growers to try products, including the latest Weed Wizard – which will also be on the stand – before making a capital investment.
“Hiring equipment direct from Techneat brings all the convenience and flexibility of owning a machine for a required part of the season, without the capital cost or upkeep when it’s not required, and no commitment if future cropping plans or agronomy systems should change,” explained Rui Santos, hire manager.
“For time sensitive applications, such as nematicide application during potato planting or Avadex herbicide granules, you’re not dependent on waiting for a contractor and can apply when convenient, in the optimum conditions.
“Using Techneat Hire to supply a Maxicast or Multicast applicator, for example, you will always have the most up to date machine, that has been fully serviced by specialists in the factory and ready for work.”
He adds that growers will be able to pre-plan machinery requirements for the season using the online system, and that the company will have a stock of machines available for last-minute needs or replacements in the case of breakdowns.
