Ed Beckett on the MERLIN range

Durability and innovation are what makes our self-propelled sprayers the ideal addition to any farm.

Ed Beckett, a contract farmer from South Shropshire, has run a Househam Merlin Sprayer for four years and recently brought his second with the addition of LED lights to the front and sides of his Merlin to support night spraying.

“I’ve been really impressed by Househam’s technology. The FieldMaster controls 10 sections of the 36mm boom that gives us a near-perfect spray, even on my most peculiar shaped fields, and helps us save money in the process.”

His second Merlin includes the latest technology, including our unique control system, Total Machine Control (TMC), that was developed by Househam engineers specifically for Househam sprayers. The TMC comes with a built-in FieldMaster GPS field mapping that works in unison with the TMC touchscreen management system, using Light-Bar Guidance and Auto-Section Control.

One of the main reasons Ed chose a second Merlin was for the FieldMaster control, which is bespoke and made specifically to the sprayer, helping to minimise overspray.

“I’ve been really impressed by Househam’s technology,” said Ed.

“The FieldMaster controls 10 sections of the 36mm boom that gives us a near-perfect spray, even on my most peculiar shaped fields, and helps us save money in the process. Househam’s service and backup is also second to none. They have a brilliant, responsive local engineer.”
