Whether you’re looking for three-point hitches, PTOs, rubber track systems, tine weeders or other farm essentials, be sure that your supplier is up to the challenge of consistently exceeding your expectations.
Farmers have some of the most demanding jobs in the world. Along with the arduous task of growing crops, maintaining cows herds to feed thousands of people, they need to fight against mother nature, deteriorating equipment, and the stress of putting food on their own table.
Having a reliable team to support farmers and help ease pressure of producing quality food. One of those team members is a farm equipment supplier. Canadian farmers need implements that work, and work consistently. Taking a few days off to troubleshoot and fix a problem simply isn’t an option.
That’s why farmers need to put their trust not only in the products they purchase, but also in the supplier that’s backing them up.
We’ve seen it happen too many times over the years: someone decides to offer farm equipment in Canada with dollar signs in their eyes, only to realize that there can be significant missteps if they don’t properly understand the needs of farms and the processes one must go through.
With a long history of selling farm equipment in Canada, suppliers fully understand the past and present challenges, and have a clear understanding of where the industry is going in the near future.
Selling a product is one task; supporting it is something completely different. Not only must the supplier have knowledgeable technicians on staff that fully understand the inner workings of the products, but replacement parts must be in stock at the moment a farmer needs it.
There isn’t a piece of farm equipment that will never break down, so when it does, farmers need to be reassured that they have immediate/friendly/knowledgeable support. By speedily communicating with farmers, shipping replacement parts and even playing a role in the equipment replacement process, the supplier must know that the situation is being resolved.
In today’s digital age, farmers have pivoted to use websites and social media outlets for clear and reliable information regarding the industry. Suppliers too are online, and likely have strong websites and active social media profiles. But those resources can be skewed since they manage that information themselves.
What about its reputation? What are other farmers saying? Ask your social media friends, call up your local dealer, speak with other farmers in your niche – whatever it takes to get a full and comprehensive view of the supplier.
There’s nothing worse than having an amicable relationship with a supplier who only offers cheaply made products.
Farmers need reliability, durability and ease of use in every area of their farm, especially crucial equipment like PTOs, hitches, tracks and maintenance gear. Every experienced farmer knows that the cost of failure on the field is too great to even consider products with low quality and poor reviews.
When you’re making a significant investment in your farm, you need to be assured that your supplier has the stuff it takes for you to perform at the best of your ability. Choose suppliers that can save you time, money and energy.

Successful farmers need to make the most of their time, energy and equipment. The best way to do that is by relying on high-quality equipment that saves you time and energy.
If you’re still farming like it’s 1950, then you’re doing something wrong. Today’s tractors are designed and built to deliver incredible power and efficiency for a wide variety of uses. Front hitches and PTOs help to transform today’s tractors into versatile machines that have the ability to do practically anything that requires extra effort.
Zuidberg’s three-point hitches and PTOs make tough Canadian operations easier, and can maximize the power of your tractor by performing two important tasks at the same time. Here are some of the most frequent ways that Canadian farmers use Zuidberg innovation on their farms:
Cut your time spent on the fields, and reduce soil compaction by using a rotavator on the front of your tractor, with a cultivator on the back.
A Zuidberg front PTO can be set up with a rotavator and give you better control over your tractor as you prepare a seed bed. The rear implement can plant your crop, all in one pass.
Every farmer has experienced the frustration of excessive tire slippage and tire wear because of improper weight ratios. Increase your productivity, increase the lifespan of your tires and make your work easier with ballasts on your tractor’s front end.
Use your mowing attachment at the front with a Zuidberg PTO, and at the rear (extended out to a side) to reduce the time spent mowing by up to 50%.
Push snow with your herculean Zuidberg three-point hitch, while you use your optional grader blade at the rear to clean up the rest.
Whether you’re clearing small driveways or entire roads, rely on Zuidberg’s front PTO to be there when you need it most.
Why lug your cumbersome chipper out to the bush, when you can simply attach a wood chipper to your versatile Zuidberg PTO? Hooking it up is easy, and within minutes you can be ready to transform dead branches into valuable wood chips.
All that weight on the back of your tractor can make a simple task like manure spreading far more challenging than it needs to be. Adding on a Zuidberg counterweight can make manure spreading at least a little more bearable.
Vineyards are unique agricultural properties, and require equally unique equipment to make your job easier. To improve your grapes air circulation, expose your fruit to more sunlight and improve grapes’ flavour, connect a fast and delicate leaf remover to your front PTO.
As you can see, the applications for three-point hitches and PTOs are practically endless.
To learn more about having your Canadian farm work smarter, faster and better, trust the implements manufactured by the leader in front PTOs and hitches: Zuidberg.
Zuidberg is available across Canada via Frontlink, your Canadian importer and distributor of Zuidberg front hitches & PTOs, Zuidberg tracks, Einbock tillage equipment and Homburg tile drain cleaners.

Weeding in winter cereals
As soon as the soil is dry enough in spring, the first weeding operation can be done in winter cereals. Attention: patience is required here; it should be really dry! Weeding in spring with the AEROSTAR family has some advantages: Breaking the crust in spring ensures the soil is aerated and warms up faster. This means the vegetation can start earlier, the stalk develops better and tillering is stimulated. If the soil is very hard and crusted, a rotary hoe ROTARYSTAR can be used before weeding. After working with the ROTARYSTAR the soil is crumbly and therefore optimal for the next weeding pass. After the first operation, weeding can be carried out up to a crop height of 30-40 cm, if necessary. So you mobilise nutrients, control late-germinating weeds and prevent diseases, as well as create well-balanced growth conditions for the crop and microorganisms.
No weeding when there is a risk of frost!
For weeding in Spring, it is important to make sure that no late frosts during night are expected a few days after weeding. Weeding reduces frost resistance of the crop and therefore it can have a bad effect on the plants when there is frost some days after the weeding.
