PERFORMER
THE BERTI MULCHER HAS OVER 20 YEARS OF PROOF
THAT IT’S A CHAMPION PERFORMER IN NEW ZEALAND
CONDITIONS. BERTI INCREASES FARM PRODUCTION BY
PRODUCING BETTER PASTURE AND BY RETURNING WASTELAND
INTO PRODUCTION. THIS STRONG STURDY GOBBLER LET’S
NOTHING STAND IN ITS WAY.
Berti tops pasture at high speed leaving a
fine mulch and no build up of windrows.
All Brown Top, Cocksfoot and other low
producing grasses are eliminated to allow
high producing grass to rejuvenate. Gorse and
scrub are chopped in one pass for a quick
return of wasteland into pasture. It’s more
effective than spraying and much cheaper.
Berti also features a fully adjustable tailgate, a pre chamber that
creates the venturi effect for more effective cutting, and has the

problem. If your unlucky enough to be plagued by Kikuyu, both
the Hammer Flail and Y Flail units have been recommended by
the Kaikuyu Action Group.
Berti will withstand severe punishment with its heavy duty RHS
headstock and its double row self aligning bearing on a 60mm
stub shaft, one of the heaviest in the industry. Its high-speed
rotor (2300rpm) has drop forged flail lugs for added strength and
durability.
With the bearings fully embedded in the rotor, this cost effective
machine keeps maintenance costs low by providing maximum
protection from moisture and from dangerous foreign objects such
as wire. It also features a double skin in the mulching chamber for
rigidity and protection of the outer skin.

TESTMONIALS
MULCHER HANDLES
BIG TEST.
Northland kikuyu mulching “pioneer” Murray Jaggar has worked
this grass for 20 years, using a variety of machines. Finally he
has settles on a Berti TBM/Super 2m mulcher from Farmgard.
“We got the Berti about five years ago, starting first with a
smaller model, then moving to this bigger one.”
Jaggar says Kikuyu severely tests machines because of the
sheer volume of material being shifted, and it’s fibrous nature,
“especially in the autumn when it loads up”.
“Gorse and scrub are chopped off in one pass – more effective
than spray and much cheaper.”
TURNING WASTELAND
INTO PASTURE.
Kaikoura farmer Nick Seddon has been using Berti mulchers for
10 years to clear 100ha – 120ha of gorse – covered rolling hills
on his 1214ha property.
He says he weighed up the options between buying a Berti or
spraying the gorse–affected area. He decided on the mulcher
because it gave him a better chance of keeping ahead of the
growth.
The result has means an increase of production and better
pastures for his sheep and cattle on the gorse – affected
paddocks.
“We’ve got the pasture back again. The gorse is still there and
the grass goes up through the gorse once it’s been mulched, so
it’s good cattle food as opposed to having nine-foot high gorse
bushes everywhere.”
“With the first one I had, I was cutting some pretty tall stuff that
was higher than the tractor.”
While he doesn’t have to cut really heavy gorse anymore, Seddon
believes that the machine would do the job and recommends
it to any farmer that needs to clear non – productive land and
return it to pasture.

BERTI THE TICKET FOR
PASTURE MULCHING.
Kaitaia contractor Don Lilly has been so happy with his Berti
pasture mulcher that he’s never bothered trying any other
brands.
“I’ve had five Berti mulchers in total, ranging from 1.8m up to
2.5m,” Don says. “These two are a couple of years old now but
I’ve had Berti pasture mulchers over the past five or six years.”
Don says he has stuck with the Berti brand because the
mulchers haven’t caused him any trouble.
“As long as you keep them well maintained and greased they
just go and go. I haven’t really used anything else.”
“We can do a hectare an hour with topping in a reasonable
shaped paddock.”
“These Berti pasture mulchers seem to be about the most
robust ones that I’ve seen.”
THE BERTI MULCHER
IS NO ORDINARY
MULCHER.
Take Canterbury farmer Bill Wilson who purchased a Berti TSB
300.
He used it amongst stones and rubble and the Berti doesn’t
flinch.
“I can use if for topping paddocks and stones don’t affect it like
an ordinary mower; they don’t get thrown against the tractor and
it mulches the weeds very well.”
Bill talks with nothing but positive comments for his Berti.
“We had a paddock of Horehound and I used it on that in
amongst stones and it’s done a fantastic job.
“It can handle stones without knocking it around and it’s very
robust.”
That’s all we use it for and it’s working very well.”
