Tim Hopkins
Manawatu, New Zealand
Tim Hopkins uses the Tow and Fert Multi 4000 as a central part of their nutrient management approach. Rising fertiliser costs, tighter margins, and increasing environmental scrutiny prompted a review of how nutrients were being applied.
By shifting toward foliar application with the Tow and Fert, nutrients are now applied more precisely and at lower overall rates. Dissolving fertiliser improves distribution and uptake, helping reduce waste while maintaining pasture performance.
The machine’s ability to apply multiple products in one pass has simplified operations and reduced the need for multiple pieces of equipment. This has improved labour efficiency, reduced fuel use, and increased the overall responsiveness of their nutrient programme.
For Tim, the Tow and Fert Multi 4000 supports a more flexible, efficient, and resilient farming system, aligned with both production goals and long-term sustainability.
