After first seeing the OMEGA drill at LAMMA show in January and then following an intensive demonstration of a OO 6000L<\/a><\/span> Grain only drill in mid April, Gary Clarke from Clarke Farms Ltd, near Nottingham was seriously impressed by its capabilities and commenced discussions with the family if the Bednar drill, really was a serious contender to their existing trailed drill.<\/h2>\n

\nDrill operator, Ollie Clarke found that their existing drill was despite being a good workhorse over the previous 10 years, difficult to work on when there was a problem. Ollie also commented that \u201cthe Omega was easy to operate as well as fine tune for all those varying conditions we face every drilling season\u201d. The flexibility of a farms primary machine, such as a drill is vital, especially when soil types and seasons are so different of that of a spread out farming operation like what Clarke Farms traverse. Ed Clarke insisted that \u201cthe modern, forward thinking farmer needs to consider more operations in one pass, including that of placing fertiliser where it is needed, helping the common agriculturalists quest to become carbon neutral, with the hope to future proof their system.

\nGary Clarke repeated his positives of the OMEGA with a simple sentence, \u201cthe Bednar machines are not over engineered, they are engineered well\u201d, and continued with \u201cthere has clearly been a lot of thought put into the design of the drill, with wide consolidation tyres, pressurised hoppers and X-formation of the cultivation discs, set the OMEGA<\/a><\/span> apart from other brands\u201d. Sharmans Agricultural salesman, Andrew Channing confirmed the order with an \u201celbow\u201d so he, and the Clarke family could maintain safe social distancing.
