PÖTTINGER at the Durán Days in Spain
Impressive demonstrations with high output agricultural technology
Durán Days took place for the first time on 16 and 17 September 2016 in Santervás de Campos in the Spanish province of Valladolid. The event was organised by Durán Maquinaria, one of Spain's largest importers and a successful PÖTTINGER dealer for almost 25 years. Their demonstration field days took place on around 26 hectares of land.
Although the weather was not ideal with cold, rain and a strong wind, the sun came out right on time for the opening of the event. Around 3,000 then turned up over the course of the two days.
In the morning and afternoon of both days there was a presentation with subsequent field demonstration of the entire PÖTTINGER product range, with machinery featuring grassland, tillage and seed drill technology.
The following machines were on display:
- NOVACAT 301 CLASSIC front mower
- NOVACAT 351 ALPHA MOTION front mower
- NOVACAT X8 RC COLLECTOR mower combination
- NOVACAT 352 CROSS FLOW rear mower
- HIT 6.61 tedder,
- TOP 1252 C S-LINE rake
- SERVO 35 S PLUS plough
- SYNKRO 3030 NOVA stubble cultivator
- TERRADISC 5001 T trailed disc harrow
- LION 303 power harrow and AEROSEM 3002 ADD drill combo
- TERRASEM C6 ARTIS PLUS, the flagship seed drill
The absolute highlight was the first presentation of the IMPRESS 155 V PRO round baler, which attracted an enthusiastic crowd during all four demonstrations. Farmers were seriously impressed with the tidy work performed by the IMPRESS, which is equipped with 32 knives and an overhead rotor. The bales that were made during the demo had an extremely hard core.
Many thanks indeed to Durán Maquinaria for planning, organising and hosting this excellent and highly successful event!
