Customer Testimonial: Total Tillage Contracting
“The job the Discordon has done has been most impressive and we’ve had great support from Waringa Distribution. It leaves a better soil bed leading into seeding programs, can handle all soil types, and gives us a tidy finish every time. It’s more versatile than anything we’ve used before.”
John Davis, of Total Tillage Contracting & Hire, has taken delivery of a Gregoire Besson Discordon One-Pass Finisher to meet growing demand for soil amelioration work across the WA Wheatbelt.
Based in York, WA, John operates a busy contracting service covering approximately 5000 hectares over 12 months. His business services growers from sandy soils near Dandaragan to heavier country in the eastern wheatbelt—many of which are non-wetting and require lime incorporation.
John says the Discordon’s independent tine and disc system allows for depth adjustments on-the-go, giving him flexibility for shallow stubble ploughing to deeper subsoiling. With two rows each of independent tines and discs, plus a crumble packer, the machine effectively rips, mixes, and reconsolidates—all in a single pass.

With land values the way they are, it often makes more sense to fix what you’ve got than to buy more. This machine helps bring underperforming areas back to productivity—and that’s real value for our clients.
The Discordon’s performance, ease of use, and support from Waringa Distribution have been standout features for John.
Out of the 5000 hectares we’ve done, we’ve only had one complaint—it’s a machine that just works. We even ran it through night shifts in the middle of summer because the demand was so strong.

“The draper front combined with the air makes for a clean cut and gets it into the header quick. It was awesome through the crabhole country, we didn’t have to touch a button.”

“We were cutting the canola high and it was great. We also had a lot of lodged barley that we were picking off the ground and we just ran it in hinge flex mode (with rigid cutterbar). It followed the ground better and there was less dirt getting in the front than our other fronts.”
