OUR PRODUCTS
We offer a wide range of high-performance farming machinery, including the Evolution M-Mounted Drills and Hybrid T-Trailed Seed Drills for efficient seeding and fertilising or choose the Straw Harrow, TerraStar, and TerraBlade for effective solutions in stubble management, weed control, and soil preparation.
The new Claydon Evolution tractor-mounted seed drill range takes affordable farm machinery to the next level. It builds on the company’s 20+ years of experience with this technology, featuring the time-proven leading tine technique, and combines it with new operational functionality to enhance direct drill seeder performance.
This combined seed drill allows farmers to drill directly into stubble, min-tilled or ploughed land while applying fertiliser in the same pass in a choice of locations. A comprehensive range of options is available on this trailed range for every drilling scenario.
The Claydon Straw Harrow provides high-output straw management and weed control with minimal soil movement. This essential and versatile farm and groundcare implement is a multi-purpose implement for controlling slugs and creating tilth to support optimal seedbed preparation.
The TerraBlade inter-row hoe is a low cost, mechanical method of controlling weeds in combinable band-sown crops. The use of this machinery in agriculture reduces the potential for carry-over into subsequent crops.

A farming family
The Claydon family have farmed the heavy clay land of Suffolk since the early 1900s. Jeffrey and Frank Claydon are the third generation to farm the land now under the E.T. Claydon and Sons family partnership name. The brothers started out in 1970 and still farm the land today. The manufacturing side of the business began in 1981, when Claydon Yield-o-Meter was established to sell its yield monitoring system.
Claydon machines are developed on a working farm by farmers for farmers. All of our cutting-edge farm machinery is truly tried and tested in real farming conditions in a real farm environment before they are brought to market. Our focus on agricultural machinery provides innovative solutions that enhance soil health while supporting sustainable farming practices.
We are also committed to conservation farming, helping farmers improve yields while maintaining the long-term health and productivity of their land. We don’t just listen to the end user – we are the end user.
