About

Forestry Commission awarded a contract to Paul Vidgen Forest Machines Limited for the supply of a tractor-mounted ground preparation machine designed for planting, capable of removing heavy brash, mulch, and soil to create a clean trench for tree planting.

The machine is compatible with standard agricultural tractors (Valtra, Case, Claas, John Deere) with power outputs between 120 and 200hp, features heavy-duty construction for rough terrain and large stumps (60-90 cm diameter), adjustable width control for plant spacing of 1.9 to 2.5 meters, hydraulically powered discs, and hydraulic downward pressure to reduce the number of passes required.

The contract includes UK parts and service support, on-site operational support at delivery in the New Forest, Hampshire, a 12-month manufacturer's warranty, and delivery within 6 months of ordering.

The contract value is AUD 74,450.
