Turnerland Knows Its Onions
Farmer's Weekly
|Farmers Weekly 1 June 2018
Turnerland’s equipment enables a producer to harvest onions with minimum labour, thereby reducing costs.
Turnerland Manufacturing has developed equipment that allows onion growers to harvest their crops directly from the land with minimum labour.
1 TL-170-ES Windrower The Turnerland Windrower is a versatile machine that can handle different onion cultivars. You can either windrow the crop, or lift it directly.
Dry onions can be harvested and packaged direct from the land; damp or wet onions usually require from two to five days to dry out in the windrow.
The gear pump for the hydraulic drive train is powered by the tractor PTO, and the system incorporates an effective cooling radiator to cope with local conditions.
