Creating the bespoke Korte 700 in the Kelvin Cave workshop
Kelvin Cave’s workshop in Somerset is gearing up for a busy summer as more and more farmers appreciate the need to be self-reliant and produce and process home-grown livestock feeds.
Modifying mills from Korte and Murska, and refurbishing part-exchange equipment, the company has built a reputation for high standards of fabrication, reliable support and bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs. Here, we show some of the processes involved in modifying a Korte 700 for a North Yorkshire farm.
