Agricultural Farm Contracting by Grays Farms Ltd
We are able to carry out most aspects of arable farming using our GPS equipped JCB fastracs and Fendt tractors with well maintained equipment including a 32-meter boomed trailed John Deere sprayer.
It is often more economical for farmers to hire a contractor than buying machines. We can offer a full programme of farm services down to one off jobs.
Our main base is in Colchester Essex, we run a low loader transport company so we can travel county to county with our work, we also have an agricultural 20 ton, 30ft tri axle low loader for those more local movements. We are happy to price and advise on any work to be undertaken, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Digestate Management
We offer accurate application of digestate using the most advanced equipment run by highly experienced operators. Digestate in the form of a by-product from an anaerobic digestion plant, available on a supplied and spread basis. We can offer a complete digestate management package including arranging haulage of digestate to the field, storage in our nurse tank and spreading, using our state of the art SlurryKat tankers, JCB fastracs, Fendt tractors and our own artic lorry tankers keeping everything in house.
Application is by dribble bar booms with 24 meter working width which mean fewer wheelings on the ground, making it suitable to spread on all crops. The dribble bar system not only helps reduce smell and losses to the atmosphere but also means nutrients can be applied to crops at later growth stages when they have a greater requirement for it. Flow meters allow accurate rates to be applied depending on crop and customer requirements. Rates from as low as 8m3 can be achieved right up to 50m3 as required per hectare.
