Machinery & Equipment
The right machine, at the right time, used with care
Practical access to equipment and responsible equipment use are central to the association's interests.
Agricultural machinery
Cultivators, seed drills, sprayers and harvesting equipment represent major investments for any farm. Many are needed only for a few days or weeks each season.
Forestry equipment
Forest work requires its own tools — from trailers and cranes to road maintenance equipment — and safe, competent use.
Equipment cooperation
When equipment is shared, each user gains access to better machinery than they might justify alone, and machines spend less time standing idle. Clear agreements about booking, transport and responsibility keep cooperation fair.
Responsible equipment use
Shared machinery should be returned clean, in working order and on time. Users should know the machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions and report any faults promptly.
Maintenance awareness
Regular servicing, correct storage and early repairs extend machine life and improve safety. A simple log of use and maintenance helps everyone who relies on the same equipment.
Efficient resource management
Matching machine size to the job, planning routes and combining work passes saves fuel, time and soil structure.
