TEDDERS "WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY"
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. |
Within just a few years Koloscha Valerij Petrovich turned his privately-owned breeding operation in Peski / Chernigov into one of the finest in this area. He farms around 3,000 hectares of arable land and has more than 800 dairy cattle. |

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. |
"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!" |
