Hiller Engineering is a division of Hiller Farms Ltd

The Hiller Engineering Polythene layer has been specifically designed to cover high raised beds made by the Hiller Engineering Bed former.   It can however be set to cover a multitude of different shaped beds and is not limited to covering Hiller beds.

The Hiller Polythene layer combines high productivity (with an operational forward speed of 6 MPH) and high quality engineering.

The polythene layer uses discs to remove soil for the edge of the polythene to be laid at the bottom of the ridge and a further set of discs to cover the polythene behind angled press wheels.

The polythene layer is equipped with 2 polythene carriers, providing operators with the option of carrying 2 rolls of polythene and facilitating a fast change over when a roll runs out mid field. The machine has been designed to be self-steering this keeps the machine in line with the bed, easing the operation for the tractor driver. There is an option of fitting drip tape application equipment on the polythene layer capable of laying one or two lines of tape.  The poly layer can lay polythene or “Mypex” ground cover up to 2 metres wide.
