Before you head over to the nearest machinery supplier, you should first consider the size and scope of your project. Construction Machinery like excavators, backhoes and loaders are perfect for accomplishing big tasks. Modern machines also come in different sizes so you can get the same results that you need even when working on tight spaces.
VERSATILITY AND ADAPTABILITY
Choose machines that offer more than one function. Inter-convertible machineries are your best bet so you can use it for multiple types of jobs whenever possible.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND AVAILABILITY OF PARTS
The origin of the equipment plays an important role when it comes to sourcing replacing parts for your unit. Some brands from overseas take a longer time to ship replacement parts that might push your deadlines far behind.
SERVICING AND AVAILABILITY OF SPECIALISTS
While older models come at a lower price than new ones, the availability of specialists to repair them might come as a challenge in the future.
SUITABILITY TO LOCAL OPERATIONS
Special equipment may perform better than your previous models but imagine how troublesome it would be if the machine is difficult to use? Try to find construction equipment that can be used easily by your local operators.
EXPERTISE IN HANDLING
In choosing equipment, stick to the ones that are already familiar to handle. But if that is not the case for you to hire a professional who can help your team operate it to ensure that you can maximize its features and prevent possible accidents.

The word whisk(e)y is the anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic word “uisce” which comes from “uisce beatha” of which “uisce” means “water” and “beatha” means “life” and is pronounced as “ish-ca baa-ha”. While the Irish translated “water of life” as “uisce beatha”, the Scottish translated the spelling to be “uisge beatha”. And that is the deal with that bracketed “e” in the word whisk(e)y. Whisky and whiskey are one in the same. However, certain countries have certain preferences on the spelling.
A quick little trick is to remember that which is which:
Countries with the letter “e” in them (e.g. United States + Ireland) spell it whiskey (and the plural whiskeys)
Countries without the letter “y” in them (e.g. Scotland, Canada + Japan) spell it whisky (and the plural whiskies)
Irish monks first invented whisk(e)y around the 15th century after learning distillation techniques from the east. Monasteries began to use distillation to create the water of life as a medicinal healing tool for things like smallpox. At this point in time they hadn’t figured out that aging it in barrels makes it taste a lot better. The rough, fresh off the still, undiluted distillate would often be drank straight. So monks and farmers would put other ingredients like honey, herbs, berries, spices, or to use the more fancy word, botanicals, to smooth it out and make it drinkable.
WHAT WHISK(E)Y IS MADE FROM
Whisk(e)y is made from four key ingredients: cereal grains, yeast, water, and time (spent aging in barrels).
The most common cereal grains used to make whisk(e)y are Barley, Corn, Rye + Wheat with the majority of whisky around the world having a base of either Barley or Corn.
Whisky is made by extracting the sugars from raw grains and distilled from fermented grain, typically barley, corn, wheat or rye. It is aged in wooden casks, which helps give whisky its amber color, and must have a minimum alcohol by volume (ABV) of 40%. Different types of whiskies are distinguished from one another based on where they originated, the blending process, the type of grain used and the aging process. While different brands will have unique flavor profiles, in general whisky is known for its warm, caramelly, spicy, sweet, or toasty taste.
BOURBON
According to US regulations, in order for something to be considered a Bourbon it has to meet five requirements: it has to be made in the USA, made from at least 51% corn, distilled to no higher than 160 proof, put into a barrel at no higher than 125 proof and is put into a new, charred oak container.
There’s no aging requirements and doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky. There are a few things to note:
If you want to call your bourbon a “Kentucky Bourbon,” it needs to be aged at least one year
If you want to call your bourbon a “Straight Bourbon,” it needs to be aged for at least two years
TENNESSEE WHISKEY + RYE WHISKEY
While Tennessee Whiskey technically falls under the “bourbon” category as Tennessee whiskeys meet the five requirements to be a bourbon, the main differences are that (1) it’s specifically produced in Tennessee and (2) it undergoes the “Lincoln County Process” in which the whiskey is sugar maple charcoal filtered before it is put in barrels to age.
Rye whiskey made from at least 51% rye and other can be corn. Rye whiskey is drier, and you can taste the sharp taste of notes.
SINGLE-MALT WHISKY
Single-malt whisky only uses one type of malted grain (typically barley) in its production and comes from a single distillery. The final liquor bottle may combine whisky from different barrels. They must be must be made from 100% barley, must be filtered at least 2 times using Pot Still method, must be aged 3 years in oak barrels and must have a minimum alcohol by volume (ABV) of 40%.
Single-malt whisky tastes like oaky, woody, roasted grain alcohol, often with caramel, vanilla, fruit, or nut notes. Single malts tend to amplify and mellow these flavor characteristics simultaneously, so the drink is superiorly smooth. In the case of scotch, there’s also a peaty, smoky nuance.
BLENDED WHISKY
Blended whisky is when two or more types of whiskies are blended together to create the final product. While the definitions for what a blended whisky varies depending on country, typically to create a blended whisky, a “base whisky”, which is less flavorful but cheaper to produce, is blended with a “flavoring whisky” which is higher quality but more expensive to produce.
In Scotland, there are three types of blended whiskies: Blended Malt, Blended Grain and Blended Scotch Whisky. Blended Malts are when two or more Single Malts from different distilleries are blended together. Blended Grains are when two or more Single Grains are blended together from different distilleries. Blended Scotch Whiskies are when a Single Malt from one distiller is blended together with a Single Grain from another distillery. For Blended Scotch Whiskies the “base whisky” is typically a Grain Whisky and the “flavoring whisky” is typically a Malt Whisky.

If you are preparing for planting, you should think about inspecting and servicing your seeding machine before the work begins. This process is important because the equipment can fail over time due to continued use or even long-term storage. If it is not tuned up, the seeds might not be delivered into the soil as desired. Consequently, the yields might be lower. Here are simple tips to keep in mind when servicing your seeding machine for better performance.
CLEAN THE EQUIPMENT
You should clean the seeding machine before using it for your planting operations. This will promote the efficient placement of seeds on the farm. When cleaning the equipment, you must not overlook the metering components. If these are left clogged with dirt, they will not release seeds optimally. As a result, some areas on the farm might remain bare and others might have unnecessarily more seeds. The belts in the unit should also be washed to ensure flexibility and smooth movement.
REPLACE THE DISC BLADES AND OPENERS
The disc blades and drill openers are critical components in seeding machines because they are designed to form trenches for seed placement. If they are damaged, it will be difficult for them to form good furrows for planting. Therefore, you should check on their condition before the intended day of use. If the blades have experienced wear and become shorter and blunter, it might be time for replacement. Purchase good blades which are compatible with your equipment and the intended crop.
THINK ABOUT THE DEPTH
The depth of seed placement is a critical consideration when planting most crops. If the depth of placement is not optimal, the growth of the plant will be compromised. This could result in lower yields. Therefore, it is advisable to ensure that the components which are designed to regulate the soil depth are in a good state. For instance, the planter unit must be adequately weighted. Also, the depth wheels should be serviced by changing washers and replacing the wheel arms as needed.
TIGHTEN LOOSE PARTS
The components of the seeding machine will fall out of form due to heavy usage in other planting operations. Moreover, if the equipment has been in storage for long, some parts might have become loose. Therefore, you should take some time to inspect the machinery and identify such anomalies. For instance, seed tubes and guards, firmers, row cleaners and wheels should be tightened. This will improve overall performance during planting.
