Project

For Maramarua dairy farmer Kelvin Barker, reliability is everything when it comes to effluent management. And for over three decades, he’s trusted one brand to get the job done: Williams. One of the things Kelvin has always appreciated is how simple and easy the Williams Deluxe is to maintain. With minimal maintenance and rock-solid performance, his original unit has delivered outstanding value over the long haul.

What we did

With changing regulations, higher pressure demands, and a need for lower application depths, Kelvin recently decided to upgrade to the new Williams Deluxe model, and he hasn’t looked back. The four-speed gearbox allows Kelvin to fine-tune application depths for better nutrient distribution and compliance, while still maintaining the simplicity and reliability he values

From a 30-year-old workhorse to a modern, high-performance upgrade, Kelvin Barker’s experience with Williams irrigators speaks for itself. It’s a brand that delivers long-term value, practical design, and trusted performance season after season.

By the numbers

Here how the impact of Willliams Effluent Solutions system design brought results for Atiamuri farm.

"We’ve had our original Williams Deluxe for around 30 years, and it’s been absolutely bulletproof- it’s still going strong as our backup unit. I’ve always admired how simple and easy it is to repair, but honestly, it just keeps pulling its pipe up the paddock without a fuss. With rising pressure demands and the need for lower application depths, we upgraded to the new version with four travel speeds, and it’s been magic!"

Kelvin Barker – 30 years of trust in Williams irrigators

As an off-farm owner, I ultimately chose Williams Effluent Solutions due to their proven experience and the fact that they have the resources to manage the entire project from start to finish. Their ability to take full control of the process gave me peace of mind, knowing that the project would be completed to a high standard. Williams delivered on their promises and made the whole experience stress-free. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and professional team.
