Kidd Farm Machinery will be showcasing a selection of products from its WRAG and Bushpig brands, spearheaded by the Bushpig Gen 3 Netter at APF 2026.

The Bushpig Gen 3 Netter and the extensive range of tracked, tractor-mounted and excavator-mounted post drivers on show have been designed to improve productivity, performance and operator efficiency across forestry, agricultural and land management applications.

The Bushpig Gen 3 Netter has been designed from the ground up by the KFM R&D team for high-output fencing operations. It has the ability to carry two rolls of netting up to 500 metres in length and features an innovative three-function hydraulic working head that incorporates clamping, tensioning and tilt functions. In addition, it has been designed for operator comfort as the system reduces heavy lifting and unnecessary movement,  while improving efficiency when erecting stock fencing.

To complement the Bushpig offering, a selection of WRAG machinery will be displayed on the stand. The WRAG range will be led by the  WRAGTRACK Tow-It and WRAGTRACK Opus tracked post drivers.  The WRAGTRACK Tow-It combines road-legal transportability with post-driving performance. This combination is achieved with the help of the 36hp Yanmar Tier 5 engine and a heavy-duty UK-manufactured chassis, ensuring the user has the power to handle a multitude of terrains alongside the manoeuvrability to access hard-to-reach locations with ease. In addition, the 180-degree mast swing, Powertilt mast and up to 300kg hammer option ensure the user has the ability to tackle a wide range of fencing applications efficiently.

Providing solutions to varieties of problems

The WRAGTRACK Opus is the most advanced tracked post driver in the WRAG product portfolio, and the combination of the 48hp Yanmar Tier 5 engine, 300kg hammer, 200-degree swing and telescopic beam functions ensures demanding fencing operations are completed in a timely manner.

To complement the tracked post driver options, the Hector excavator-mounted range and the Diadem, Opus and BXL tractor-mounted post drivers provide solutions across multiple machine platforms. The compact Hector 1 is designed for 1.4 to 2.5-tonne excavators and is ideal for restricted-access sites, while the heavy-duty Hector 4 is suitable for excavators up to 25 tonnes and offers a wide range of hammer configurations and optional attachments to suit different working requirements, as each job site and job has its own specific requirements.

Among the tractor-mounted models on show at APF are the flagship Diadem line-up, which is used by professional fencing contractors. It features a 400kg hammer option, a 200-degree swing, a telescopic beam extension and lift functions, and WRAG’s beam clamp design. This ensures it maximises productivity across challenging fencing projects, including deer fencing and jobs that require installations on steep banks.

Compact Design

Alongside the Diadem range, visitors can also explore the WRAG Opus and WRAG BXL. The Opus line-up has a compact design that incorporates the WRAG technology suitable for use on 90-100hp tractors. The BXL range bridges the gap between farm use and contractor specification work with its fully hydraulic operation and telescopically extending beam and 90-degree working area, which makes it easier to position the posts. In addition to heavy-duty work, the hammer can be upgraded to the 300kg option, so there is less downtime for the machine.

Chris Gordon, operations manager at Kidd Farm Machinery, says, “APF is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the breadth of our product range and show visitors how our machines are helping contractors, estates and land managers improve productivity in the field. At the show we also want to highlight our ongoing commitment to designing and developing innovative machinery that can meet the constantly evolving needs of users across a multitude of sectors, and our  technical team is looking forward to hearing about attendees’ job requirements and directing them to the right products, and arranging a demo, as we know it is always best to showcase what our products can do in their natural environment.”
