William and Alison Skea from ScanStone visited Fairlie Fresh, to see James Fairlie and his father Ian, and find out how they got on with their 2 new 5 Webber destoners after an uninterrupted season.
QUICKLY UNHITCH THE HOODS AND AT TACH THE BED FORMER
Most of our potato ground is reclaimed land, so we don’t destone. Using the ScanStone hoods is great because we can quickly unhitch the hoods and put on ridging ploughs for the areas of land which we do destone. The best thing about the ScanStone hoods is that they have depth and pitch adjustment which we found to be at a massive benefit.

INCREDIBLY LOW REPAIR COSTS
‘Separating 500 acres a season with the ScanStone 5 Webber resulted in incredibly low repair costs; After 2 seasons and 1000 acres with the machine, the only repairs were a couple of joining rods, the odd joining kit and one digger web. Downtime was kept to a minimum as well which delivered maximum output during the busy spring season.’
