A matter of skill

AgroOmsk 2017 agricultural forum welcomed its guests with warmth and pleasant treats. One of the key highlights of the trade show was displayed at AgroCentre’s booth.

‘One can say that this machine is the cherry on our cake’, says Denis Tyurin, Executive Director for Siberian Region, AgroCentre-Zakharovo. 'The ultrapowerful Fendt 1000 Vario is ready to bring your fields to perfection!’

The Fendt 1000 Vario is equipped with large 900 mm wide tyres, intelligent ballasting and tyre pressure regulating system and unique variable four-wheel drive, which enable the machine to deliver the right amount of grip in any situation – along with outstanding manoeuvrability. Those who drive a Fendt 1000 Vario no longer have to bother themselves with the best engine speed ranges. The tractor always runs in the maximum torque range for the lowest specific fuel consumption, which means that high power is already delivered at low engine speeds.

‘It is not just a tractor, it gives you status’, underlines Denis Tyurin. ‘Just like a BMW as compared to other passenger cars.’

The tractor became a gold winner of iF Design Award 2016 in the category ‘Product’ and received a Red Dot Design Award 2016 for its excellent design. The criteria for evaluation included design quality, functionality, craftsmanship, degree of innovation, user-friendliness, brand design, safety and environmental compatibility. The machine was a real highlight of the exhibition.

The Massey Ferguson 9840В self-propelled mower was displayed in combination with the Massey Ferguson 5300 draper header. The mower features a 4.4 litre AGCO Power engine with the capacity of 137 hp. Low fuel consumption per hectare makes the mower very cost effective. The machine is a perfect match for the Massey Ferguson 5300 header.

‘The 5300 Series headers are designed to operate in the most challenging conditions’, says Denis Tyurin. ‘Their distinguishing features are the robust reel and the double hydraulic knife drive. The discharge window width is two metres.’

Sergey Krolevets, Head of Crop Production and Mechanisation Division of the Ministry of Agriculture of Omsk oblast, observed that the profitability of the farm and its income depend on modern machines. Last year, the region allocated around three billion rubles for the upgrading of farm machinery fleet.
