In a significant boost for the Australian agriculture industry, three Direct Seeding and Harvesting Equipment products have obtained the coveted Australian-made certification. The infamous Darryl Drill, NarrowFold frame, and Spyder frame are all now proudly displaying the Australian-made logo, a registered certification trademark, and a seal of authenticity. It’s only granted to products meeting the rigorous criteria of the Australian Consumer Law and the AMAG Logo Code of Practice. With this newly acquired certification, Direct Seeding’s Australian-made frames are now putting them on the local manufacturing map.
The Darryl Drill: Redefining precision seeding is The Darryl Drill. As the brainchild of the late Darryl Hine, this small no-till pasture drill uses the knowledge and products designed for broadacre farming on a condensed scale, for smaller farming enterprises. Designed and manufactured in Albany, Western Australia, the Darryl Drill is reliable, robust, and low maintenance. Offering enhanced precision and efficiency, it empowers farmers to maximise productivity and successful sowing while reducing resource wastage. The Australian-made certification signifies that the Darryl Drill adheres to strict quality standards, with the sticker thereby reaffirming its authenticity.
Narrowfold Bar Frame: This Australia-made custom frame is designed for farmers chasing the balance between value and capacity. Presenting an elegant folding solution, the NarrowFold frame enables farmers to achieve efficient seed placement, minimise soil disturbance, and conserve resources with pilot-free transport. Designed to withstand the harshest of Australian conditions, the NarrowFold frame is proudly designed and manufactured in Albany Western Australia, and built from 9mm RHS. Now with the Australian-made certification, this seeding frame receives an official stamp of authenticity.
Spyder Frame: The Spyder frame is a game-changer in the world of seeding equipment. The first of its kind on Australian soils, the Spyder frame is designed by K-Hart Australia and manufactured by the Direct Seeding team in Albany, Western Australia. Advanced folding technology enables it to achieve one of the narrowest transport widths on the market for larger toolbars. The Australian-made certification for the Spyder frame will not only reinforce confidence in its durability but also support local economic growth with each frame manufactured. Moreover, procuring certified Australian products ensures compliance with rigorous safety, environmental, and ethical standards, fostering a sustainable and responsible agricultural sector.
The recognition of the Darryl Drill, NarrowFold frame, and Spyder frame through Australian-made certification is a significant milestone in the evolution of Direct Seeding and Harvesting Equipment. The Australian-made certification enhances economic growth in our region and supports both the local and wider community. By promoting the use of locally manufactured equipment, the certification drives economic growth in the region, supports local businesses, and creates additional employment opportunities.
Addressing the challenges of modern-day agriculture with innovation and quality product solutions, Direct Seeding’s manufacturing division and newly certified products will hopefully allow the benefits to extend beyond individual farms, positively impacting the national agricultural landscape and ensuring a prosperous future for Australian agriculture.
