One of the things we enjoy most about compiling White’s World is the opportunity to meet and interview so many of our customers. Refl ecting the diversity of our business, they operate in many di� erent sectors, but it’s remarkable how often we end up talking about leisure pursuits. Since T H WHITE became an Ifor Williams Trailers dealer in 2009 we have been aware just how many of our customers keep horses and are active in equestrian events. Ifor Williams horsebox trailers – especially the latest Eventa model with integrated accommodation – have proved immensely popular, but many other customers are also passionate about motor sport, classic cars and motorcycles.

ground clearance an optional pair of ramp skid extenders are available. A very useful option is the electrically-operated winch which can pull the vehicle on board rather than it having to be driven in. This has a sliding bracket to allow the whole assembly to move from side to side, thus accommodating variations in the vehicle towing eye position. Side track restraints with lashing holes every 60mm mean that it’s easy to restrain vehicles securely once loaded and Ifor Williams o� ers soft link adjustable wheel straps for the purpose. These can be used in conjunction with the adjustable wheel-stop kit which provides accurate repeatable positioning for a variety of vehicles to ensure optimal weight distribution. Large doors on either side of the trailer give easy access for working on or restraining the vehicle. An optional adjustable tyre rack or hinged workbench with tyre rack can be fi tted to make the Transporta into a useful workshop, while storage cabinets are designed to carry jerry cans or other equipment. Like all Ifor Williams trailers, the Transporta is built to last, using galvanized steel construction which provides unbeatable corrosion protection. The Transporta also features an exclusive beam axle and a leaf spring suspension system which has been developed for a safe and stable ride. Similar systems are widely used on commercial vehicles, where performance under load is essential. Known for its durability and ease of maintenance, the Ifor Williams beam axle system contributes to the low depreciation of these trailers. As a fi nishing touch, Ifor Williams can apply bespoke vinyls to the Transporta’s exterior panels, branding for teams or

Members of the T H WHITE Projects team spent two days at Cereals 2017  – the leading technical show for the UK arable industry which was held this year held on 14 and 15 June at The Old Rocket Site, Boothby Gra� oe, Lincolnshire.  After recently attending the three Camgrain open days at Stratford, Kettering and Cambridge – plus the Fengrain event at Wimblington and Fordson centenary Tractor show in Devizes – the event team moved on to Cereals, a high profi le national event that attracts numerous exhibitors from the industry.  T H WHITE Projects stand, comprising two white marquees on a 10m2 plot, was erected ready to host many of the show’s expected 25,000 visitors in some excellent hot and sunny weather conditions.  More than 500 organisations were

promoting their products and services at the show with trade stands, crop plant areas, static equipment, plant and working demonstrations.   The T H WHITE stand contained displays explaining the capabilities of the Projects Division as well as other relevant Group Divisions, portraying our diverse businesses and maximising our presence whilst generating a lot of interest and discussion from the passing tra� c.  The sunshine held good throughout the show and with the Projects marquee stand o� ering plenty of welcome shade the team was able to meet with numerous existing and new customers, plus many of the suppliers and contractors also attending the exhibition.  Next year T H WHITE Projects will be attending more shows and exhibitions in the UK, starting with LAMMA 18 in January. We look forward to another series of successful events.

Managing Director Lubomir Dvorak, was one of the Spider operatorswho helped to reproduce Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic image

We all know that spiders are capable of some amazing things, but no spider has ever done anything like this before! Of course, we are not talking about the eight-legged variety, but rather the remarkable Spider remote-controlled slope mowers, now exclusively imported to the UK by T H WHITE Machinery Imports. In order to showcase the capabilities of Spider mowers, the Czech-based manufacturer Dvorak decided to replicate Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa portrait on a giant scale, mown on a hillside at Slemno in the Czech Republic. The portrait, on a steep grass canvas measuring 210 metres x 250 metres with a gradient of no less than 45 degrees, was created over a period of three days: two days of detailed surveying and one day mowing, using the company’s Spider ILD01 and ILD02 mowers. The whole process was fi lmed by the creative motion picture and digital agency, Mustard, based in Prague. A scale drawing of the Mona Lisa was used to transfer reference points to the hillside using laser surveying technology and then the skilled Spider operators – including the company’s Managing Director, Lubomir Dvorak – mowed the 50,000 square metre image taking directions from the video producer, who could view the whole scene via a drone-mounted camera. Pavlina Novakova, Spider’s International Marketing Manager,

T H WHITE Agriculture has sold the fi rst Kuhn Merge Maxx 902 in the country to Mike Sainsbury. Mike and his family farm 1,100 acres on the Cotswolds where they milk 240 organic cows. “We bought the Merge Maxx,” said Mike, “ because we were getting a lot of stone in the silage from the open sward of lucerne and red clover which led to a reduction in milk yield”. This belt-merging silage rake has been designed to deliver the absolute maximum in terms of working speed and forage density.The new model incorporates new pick-up suspension for better balance, improved ground hugging at high speeds, a new higher capacity conveyor and the possibility of adding a windrow curtain for precise windrow calibration, especially when working with narrow pick-ups. There is also a choice of forage transfer and pick-up systems, with a new windguard incorporating a casing and low roller for improved operations in low-density forage, light but abundant forage, or when picking up whole crop and straw. This technology o� ers a great many advantages: gentle working with fragile crops, high output capacity, cleaner forage, stone-free windrows, and less wear on pick-ups, chopper cutting components and loaders. You could be the next farmer to benefi t from the Kuhn Merge Maxx 902 – Contact any of our Agricultural branches for details.

The fi nal of the T H WHITE customers’ mixed skittles tournament was held at the Old Royal Ship, Luckington on Wednesday 24 May. The fi nalists were the Better Half from Dauntsey Lock, captained by Frank Collingborn, and Watts Wonders from Foxcote, captained by Bob Watts. In the match, Watts Wonders took victory, winning by 8 points to 4 and 17 pins. Petronas sponsored the event this year and Alex Scott and Pat Smith presented the prizes. The male players were presented with engraved glass tankards and the ladies were presented with engraved wine goblets. This year the highest individual score was won by Bob Watts who plays for the winning team Watts Wonders with a top score of 60 pins. I would like to thank Paul Derrick for keeping the score and to Helen and her team of Sta� at the Old Royal Ship, for a good night.We would also welcome new faces next year, so if you would like to have a go, start planning your team now. We start the draw in September so give me a ring on 01454 238181 or email [email protected] if you would like to join in. Sharon Minty

explained how the project was developed, “We wanted to make a video to raise the profi le of our product range and our company on a global stage. The germ of an idea was put forward at one of our regular marketing meetings and was gradually developed over the following six months. We looked for an iconic image that would be recognized around the globe and decided on Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous work. Not only was da Vinci a great artist, but he was also an exceptional engineer. That connection dovetailed perfectly with the innovative technology in our Spider mowers. “We realised that we would need professional help, so we contacted Cream, a creative communications agency, also based in Prague who, along

with Mustard, took the project forward. “First, we had to fi nd a suitable location, obtain permission from the landowner and then wait for perfect weather conditions. We did consider doing it close to a motorway, but this would have removed the element of surprise for the campaign, as we were convinced many people would take photographs of the completed image and post it on social media before the o� cial launch. “We are delighted with the fi nished video and are hoping it will go viral,” Pavlina added. “So many people were involved in the production and it was a great experience for all of us at Spider to be part of it.” The completed video can be viewed at:

https://youtu.be/_Z9RmTR_P3Y . Spectacular as it is, ‘Mow-na Lisa’ illustrates only some of the applications for Spider mowers which are ideal for golf courses, local authority open spaces, parks, water and river management; roads, railway embankments and highways, waste management sites, airports and military installations, national heritage sites and solar farms. The new Spider Mini now also brings the slope mowing technology to larger gardens and small estates. The Mow-na Lisa fi lm is certain to leave you wanting to know more, so for the full story you can contact our Machinery Imports team on 01264 811260, or visit www.slope-mower.com.

In a tribute to the original Fiat 124 Spider, which won the Costa Brava Rally in 1972, a crew from Fiat has driven the latest 124 Spider on a Costa Brava road trip, taking in some of Spain’s most rugged and beautiful coastal scenery. With the top down and wind in their hair, the Fiat team set out from the city of Girona towards the coast. First stop was the exclusive S’Agaró resort, a Mediterranean gem built at the beginning of the 20th century by architect Rafel Masó and now designated a place of outstanding cultural interest. Leaving S’Agaró, the Fiat 124 Spider headed out along the coast on the GI-682. This ‘road of 1,000 bends’ emphasised the pleasures of driving the Fiat, both in terms of handling and performance. Credit must go in part to the brilliant four-cylinder 1.4-litre MultiAir turbo engine that delivers 140hp

It may look similar to the previous model, but more than 40 per cent of the parts on the new Fiat 500L have been completely redesigned. Fiat’s family SUV has consistently been at the top of the stakes in its sector and is now focussed even more strongly on ‘making room for the next generation’ – not just people but their luggage with 455 litres of boot space in the ‘Urban’ and ‘Cross’ variants, and a capacious 638 litres in the extended ‘Wagon’ version which is also available as a 7-seater. Cubby holes abound for all the kit that a family needs when travelling.

There is a choice of three petrol engines and two diesel engines, as well as three trim levels, and standard features include a panoramic roof, climate control, 7-inch touchscreen Uconnect™ HD Live infotainment system, DAB radio and ambient lighting. Try it at the T H WHITE Fiat Group Brand Centre, Swindon, 01793 393524.

(103 kW) and a peak torque of 240 Nm, available from just 2250 rpm. Rear-wheel drive, near-perfect weight distribution and a low centre of gravity add to the driving dynamics.. Next stop was Tossa de Mar, a beautiful Medieval fi shing village near the French border, today frequented by intellectuals and artists. At the end of this road trip, heading back towards Girona, the sweeping bends and smooth tarmac of the GIP-6821 provided a complete contrast to the twisting coast roads, once again demonstrating the dynamic capabilities and sheer driving pleasure o� ered by the Fiat 124 Spider. With summer in full swing it’s time you experienced the joys of the Fiat 124 Spider for yourself. Pick a fi ne day, book a test drive with T H WHITE’s Fiat Group Brand Centre at Hillmead, Swindon, and put the top down. The car awaits, the open road awaits – just call 01793 393524.
