Make your bed
Two years after the first produced Hiller Bed Former made its first bed, it is still busy making beds with 15 near identical machines working the length and breadth of the country. Machines have been supplied by Hiller Engineering to Scotland, Wales, the Midlands as well as the South and East of England.
Feedback from growers is very good, all being very pleased with both the quality of the beds and the yields achieved from the crops. Hillers Farms themselves have achieved twelve and thirteen tonnes per acres from their main season Elsanta for the last two yeards an they are now looking to trial raspberries on high beds and are confident that the increased depth of soil will be of great benefit to the canes.
With the availability of "off the shelf" high clear tractors from Landini, Hiller Engineering looks set to go from strength to strength.
