Along the Bell River near Wellington, Michael Horton, an irrigated lucerne farmer was facing a familiar challenge: keeping up with small bale production through the peak of summer. With hot days, heavy lifting and long hours in the paddock, their operation relied on multiple workers to keep things moving and the physical strain was becoming a real bottleneck.
Horton wanted Australian-made machinery that was proven to work in local conditions. With Jadan gear, they were investing in robust, practical equipment that would deliver season after season.
“Nothing has been a hassle for Jadan whenever we contact them with an enquiry.” – Michael Horton
From the very first call, Horton and his team found the experience straightforward and supportive.
The impact on the operation was immediate. Manual handling was dramatically reduced, allowing the same workforce to achieve higher productivity, even during extreme summer conditions.
Michael also found the support experience with Jadan straightforward and reliable.
“Nothing has been a hassle for Jadan whenever we contact them with an enquiry,” he says.
With smoother workflows, less physical strain and faster bale handling, the operation became easier to manage, safer for staff and far more sustainable in the long term.
“Jadan has completely lifted the efficiency of our hay operation. We’re getting more done in less time with far less manual handling. I’d strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve productivity.”
For Michael, the Jadan difference is about practical equipment that genuinely makes the job easier. The Small Bale Accumulator & Grab has proven its value where it matters most – reducing physical strain, improving efficiency and standing up to Australian summer conditions.
Combined with approachable, responsive local support, Jadan has helped create a more productive and sustainable hay operation. That’s the confidence that comes from equipment built for Australian farmers, backed by people who understand the job.
