“An early bird” on the Andreyevsky Meadow

AgroCentre has participated in the Svenskaya Fair 2014 traditionally held in Bryansk oblast. Put on display here were the technology bestsellers popular in the region. 

On the Andreyevsky Meadow, the company set up a line of Challenger, JCB, Vaderstad and Kverneland self-propelled and towed equipment. The indisputable favourite was the Challenger 685D wheeled tractor fitted with Kverneland RN 100 semi-mounted swivel plough. The eight-furrow plough has a shear bolt protecting the machine during ploughing. The maximum ploughing depth is down to 35 cm.

“Today most of the Bryansk farms work using the traditional technology,” said Yevgeny Lazutin, sales manager of the Bryansk branch of AgroCentreLiski. “This is particularly true of potato growing farms, where ploughing is indispensable. The Kverneland plough assures even and regular ploughing without disturbed furrows.” 

The most popular drill in the Bryansk oblast, Rapid Vaderstad, was also displayed at the AgroCentre exhibition stand. The 8-metre drill was partnered by the powerful and reliable caterpillar tractor Challenger 765С, 350 hp. The farmers say the machine needs no introduction. This is what they define as “an early bird” coming on the field in spring before all other machines and remaining there till late autumn, operating even in wet weather.

The JCB 531-70 telescopic loader, with a lifting capacity of 3.1 t, lifting height of 7 m, attracted not only farmers, but also ordinary citizens. The machine’s multiple capabilities and hydraulic performance earned well-deserved applause. Its colleague, a small truck JCB WORKMAX, caused quite a stir. Both adults and children sought to test drive it. These trucks are fitted with Yanmar three-cylinder diesel engines, 14.9 kW. Weighing a mere 710 kg, they provide a total lifting capacity of 600 kg.

“These compact and manoeuvrable all-purpose machines are designed for a variety of jobs on the farm, forestry or apiary,” said Yevgeny Lazutin. “The machine gathers speed of up to 40 km/h and can easily cover short distances.”
