From ploughs to space technologies!

The Voronezh Field Day celebrated its 10th anniversary. The exhibition demonstrated its high class, surprising Russian farmers with both the number of guests and the variety of modern agricultural machines.

The anniversary took place in Liski district, Voronezh oblast. Remembering the very first trade show, Viktor Shevtsov, Head of the district, noted that the first exhibition had also taken place in Liski district.

‘At that time, we searched for the best cutting-edge machines for demonstration addressing all dealership centres', says Viktor Shevtsov. ‘Back then, even a plough produced by some foreign manufacturer seemed to be space technology. Currently, there are plenty of machines and intelligent solutions, in which the space is used for the benefit of the agricultural sector.’

Some of these ‘space technologies’ were demonstrated at the booth of AgroCentreLiski. The Trimble Navigation system operating via an RTK-station allows achieving a 2.5-centimetre positioning accuracy. Several tractors can work with the system simultaneously, the coverage area of the station is 60 km.

AgroCentreLiski demonstrated 25 machinery units. All the visitors unanimously went straight to the Fendt 936 Vario (300 hp) tractor as soon as they entered the booth.

‘Currently, there are many good tractors on the market’, says Mikhail Petrov, Sales Manager of AgroCentreLiski. ‘But only Fendt combines cost-efficiency and outstanding comfort.’

At the demo show, the guests especially liked soil tillage performed by the Vadesrtad Opus 6-meter cultivator.

‘It is a more powerful “brother” of the famous TopDown, only without discs. Instead, it has a number of roller options’, says Pavel Vilchinsky, Regional Representative of Vaderstad. ‘This package makes the machine even more reliable, allows operating on waterlogged soils and handling large amounts of residue.’

AgroCentreLiski presented the FAE mulchers and cutters to the farmers of Black Soil region. The mounted equipment implements had proved their efficiency working fallow fields.

The company was awarded the Golden medal of the Jubilee Voronezh Field Day for the diversity of machinery and innovations.
