RAKES "WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY"
 Agrospol Knínice near Boskovice, Blansko region (CZ) |
|
The Agricultural Association Agrospol farms 2,863 ha on the fringe of the fertile Haná region - approx. 2,500 ha of the land is arable. As far as livestock is concerned they have 365 dairy cattle and 250 calves. In addition, with 360 reared pigs approx. 600 to of pork is produced. The forage situation has been improved following the purchase of two EUROPROFI 3 L loader wagons, which have really proved their worth in silage harvesting. A Zetor 16045 tractor has proven highly suitable in providing pulling power. From the Pöttinger range, Agrospol Knínice also owns a EUROHIT 61 NZ tedder, a EUROTOP 800 windrower and CATNOVA 310 T CRW disc mower. A NOVACAT 305 H CRW and NOVACAT 306 F CRW disc mower combination plus EUROTOP 1251 rotary windrower with a working width of up to 12.5 m were purchased in 2005. |

"Even initial experience with the loader wagon back in 2001 demonstrated that we can save a great deal on labour. The performance is comparable with a harvester. Every day each silage wagon harvests approx. 30 ha, depending on the distance travelled, which is 6 to 7 km on average here. The wagons deliver excellent work. Compared to harvesters they have no problem on slopes or stony ground and they are much more cost effective. The advantages of the loader wagon include loading and chopping straw for the barn or delivered directly to the stalls. We have been operating the tedder and windrower for five seasons now, with minimal repairs – we have only had to change 15 tines so far. If you look after the equipment and set it up properly, the windrower operates reliably and trouble-free. So far we haven't had to repair anything – excellent performance as far as we are concerned. After buying two silage wagons, windrowing became a limiting factor. That's why we will need another machine to coordinate our machinery better and deliver forage to the clamp even faster. If we want to produce really top quality silage then we need to deliver the crop in as short a time span as possible. We transport the crop from fields that are various distances away. Previously, we were unable to harvest at all with older machinery if it was raining, or the forage produced was unusable. With the new high-performance technology we have virtually no losses and the quality is incomparable", explains the delighted Director, Ladislav Menšík. |

Josef Borák operates an arable farm, which is not one of the larger businesses, but for many years he has been a loyal and important owner of Pöttinger agricultural technology. He farms 18 hectares in Velké Karlovice; the area around Vsetín. He concentrates on grassland and his farm is around 600 metres above sea level. |

What helped me in my decision was the excellent advice I was given, plus the interesting options offered for financing the equipment. During a visit to the factory in Grieskirchen I was really impressed by the people skills and professional competence of the sales personnel and employees. |

In autumn 2006 Pöttinger organised a number of demonstrations in the region of Rostov, where I saw the Cat Nova 310 T ED mower unit and the rotary windrower Eurotop 651 A in action. I was so impressed, I made the purchases immediately after the demonstrations! This season I have already used the machinery for two cuts and am completely satisfied with the work and the results. The quality of the cut has even made an additional cut possible. This would have been impossible before. I'm also delighted with the Eurotop 651 A. I fit both machines to MTZ 80 and 82 tractors. The machines work to perfection – so much so that I am now considering buying a Pöttinger loader wagon as well to optimise the harvest chain. |

"I have been working with Pöttinger grassland machines for years. We run an ERNTEBOSS 2H '95, a EUROTOP 380 '01, a CAT 260 Alpin '98 and a brand new EUROHIT 54N. So far all implements have operated to my complete satisfaction. In our area Pöttinger is well in the lead for forage harvesting. There is no alternative if you ask me!" |
