Christmas has come and gone, and Santa is finally taking a well-deserved break after another busy year! For farmers, it’s that rare time when the pace slows down just a bit – the bare minimum of tasks are completed, cattle and sheep are checked and fed, and preparations are made for the New Year ahead!  

At Scot Agri, the work doesn’t stop! While the festive season may be quieter on the farms, we’re still keeping busy. Machines continue to get used, and parts and service remain in high demand!  

This week, I wanted to highlight something that’s essential to many farms: the KRM Bogballe fertiliser spreaders. At Scot Agri, we supply both the KRM Bogballe L Range and KRM Bogballe M Range. With 9 different models, these machines are built to last and are designed for efficiency, providing an effective and reliable way to spread granules across the fields.  

At Scot Agri, the most common fertiliser spreaders we provide are the three-point linkage models, available in a variety of sizes to suit different farm acreages. Whether you’re working a small family farm or managing larger operations, Scot Agri has the spreader to meet your needs!
