Another Scottish farmer delighted with his new OPICO tined harrow is Graham Burnett who farms 374 acres.

He purchased the 4.5 m mechanical model after using a demonstrator on three-quarters of his grass acreage in the spring.

"On the older pasture in particular the results have been extraordinary with double the usual quantity of grass and clover. The tines did a great job of ripping out the moss, opening up the ground, and letting in more air."

"But there's been a marked difference in all our fields and we find it a quick and easy tool to use. It also gets rid of the molehills. We've tried the chain harrow in the past without anything like the same benefits."

Graham, a son of the former Scottish National Farmers' Union president, Mike Burnett, keeps a herd of 50 beef cows - mostly Limousin and Hereford crosses - as well as 260 breeding ewes. The farm also grows 150 acres of malting barley.
