Jones Engineering products

Years of development have gone into designing a single rotor Bedformer that will allow growers to achieve a ‘bed’ of consistent quality and uniformity on medium to light land or de-stoned land. Jones Engineering Bedformers are fitted with special ‘no panning’ blades to create a fine tilth without smearing. Soil is held in the machine by a specially developed adjustable hood, which ensures that soil is distributed evenly across the whole of the bed, followed by a crumbler roller to prevent capping.

The Twin Rotor Bedformer is as the name suggests two rotors, The front rotor is the same as the single rotor machine breaks down the soil using the special “no pan” blades. The contra rotating rear rotor has welded on hardened teeth which breaks up the remaining clods, levels and compresses the soil. This process grades the soil leaving the fine tilth on the top for drilling small seeds into. This produces a structured bed creating correct drainage and even germination.

The Jones Engineering Triple Bedformers are designed for the larger grower or contractor. The three bed, hydraulic folding machines are easily powered by a medium sized tractor on destoned land, yet big enough to withstand large tractors on heavy land, allowing high daily work output.

The Jones Engineering Marking Out Tool has been designed to mark out the field with small ridges so that all other activities such as fertilizer spreading are in controlled wheelings, reducing compaction in the area the crop is grown, it can also be fitted with some small tines to open up the bed to assist drying.

The Jones Engineering Triple Potato Planter has been designed to enable three beds to be planted at once by a medium sized tractor speeding up the process at the time of year when time is short. Comprising three individual planters mounted on a hydraulic folding frame with a central hopper for easier filling.

The Jones Engineering Polythene or Fleece layer features a hydraulic ram to allow easy loading, with shares or discs for opening and closing the furrow. Other features include adjustable depth wheels, easy maintenance, 1.5m to 2.25m wide wheelings, heavy duty robust British manufacture, guides to prevent soil being thrown onto the layed polythene, spare polythene roll carrier, adjustable tension and sprung loaded arm for easier loading. All Jones Engineering Polythene layers can be tailored to suit the customers requirements as a single bed machine or a hydraulic folding triple bed machine.

Jones Engineering front or rear mounted heavy duty Polythene Removers are hydraulic opening for easy unloading. Equipped with electro-hydraulic speed control so the removing speed can be matched to the forward speed of the tractor. They can be used offset for a straight pull for clear polythene or angled for removing black polythene from strawed over wintered crops. Jones Engineering also manufacture Fleece Removers.

The Jones Engineering Straw Remover has been designed to remove straw from overwintered crops such as Carrots and Parsnips. The Straw remover will work in all conditions removing straw from the bed and the wheelings chopping the straw and spreading it evenly on previously harvested ground.

The Jones Engineering Harvester has been designed for share lifting Carrots, Parsnips, Onions and other vegetables all year round, it is heavy duty and gentle on the crop.

The Jones Engineering Windrower has been designed for lifting a variety of crops such as Onions, Beetroot, Parsnips, Carrots, Potatoes and Bulbs for drying before harvesting. Windrowers can be fitted with either a rotating bar share and paddle or a normal share and gate depending on the crop and soil conditions.
