Firstly about the company: Farmgard was established in 1975 by Mr Ben Capper as a

Grass care needs throughout the country, some of which are included in the following pages.

WELCOME AND THANK YOU

WITH THANKS TO BERTI FOR PROVIDING THE MARKET WITH IT’S RANGE OF SKILFULLY DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED MULCHERS, THEY’VE GOT YOUR ANSWER; FROM PRUNING’S TO BRANCHES, THESE MACHINES EAT IT ALL.

Farmgard, Berti’s sole nationwide distributor prides on importing these Italian built mulchers

that has resulted in customers relying on nothing but Berti.

New models are constantly being released and Farmgard now stock a “bigger than ever”

range of mulchers specifi cally for Orchards, Vineyards, Growers and Greenwaste. Models

range from 1 – 2.5m widths and horsepower requirements varying from 35 – 130 HP.

This Berti fl ail mulcher range has many benefi ts for you, which include:

■ An exceptionally even discharge so there are no clumps of grass or unsightly

windrows■ Less scalping as the Berti Flail Mulcher follows the contours very closely■ Due to the unique design of the fl ail, it gives a cleaner cut for longer, which results

in a better job■ You can save time by using the Berti Mulcher, as it has a wide cutting width, and

electronically balanced high speed cutting rotor which takes very little horsepower to

drive■ The Berti Mulcher is optimized for exceptional balance between ease of use/drive

and the fi neness of cut, which means you can achieve a perfect job with ease■ Farmgard and Berti offer service and support that is second to none - more peace of

mind for you.

Tough terrain and harsh New Zealand conditions don’t fl inch Berti’s. They’ll mulch up to

10cm diameter branches in one go, mulch bushes, scrub, brushwood, pruning’s – they’ll stop

at nothing.

Take a browse, and enjoy.

WHAT THE OWNERS SAY ““

CENTRAL OTAGO ORCHARD OWNER JOHN TAYLOR SAYS HIS BERTI TFB/Y MULCHER IS “GOOD AS GOLD.

“It gives us the versatility of cutting grass,

sticks and pruning’s in the orchard and putting

everything back into the ground.

The hydraulic movement on the arm is a lot

better system than the previous one that just sat

at one direction.”

“Ours isn’t an easy property because we’re up

and down.”

“It was robust enough to stand up to that

treatment where the older mower we had

weren’t.”

THEY’RE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! WE’RE ON THE STONES HERE, SO WITH TRADITIONALMULCHERS WE WOULD GO THROUGH 5 SETS OF BLADES PER SEASON TO MULCH UP OURPRUNING’S.

We’ve still got the original set in the Berti here

having done 2 seasons

of mulching.

I would say the picker would last 10 times longer

than a traditional mulcher.

It gives a fi ner mulch – all in all I reckon it’s

marvellous.

HAWKES BAYVINEYARD MANAGER

“I’VE HAD A FEW BRANDS OVER THE LAST 14 YEARS THAT WE’VE USED; PROBABLY WHAT I FIND WITH THE BERTI’S IS THAT GENERALLY THEY ARE RELIABLE AND STURDY.

They just seem to do a fi ner job on bigger

pruning’s, and what I like about it is the big

wide lugs that they have on the rotors.

When you equivilate the amount of acreage

they’ve got to go through, we’ve got to be very

reliant on the machine not breaking down. They

actually provide us with very minimal down

time.”

ORCHARDIST

“IT’S BEEN A VERY RELIABLE MACHINE, VERY GOOD.

It’s convenient after pruning for tidying up the

orchard, and it’s more convenient than getting a

contractor.

They’re good reliable heavy duty machines.”
