Potato growers choose Massey Ferguson

Svenskaya Trade Show has taken place on the bank of the Desna, near Bryansk, for the twelfth time. The event has attracted great attention of both the residents and the farmers of the oblast.

The trade show displayed a huge variety of agricultural products from family farms and farming enterprises of Bryansk oblast. Of course, potatoes were the most in-demand goods. Bryansk farmers are famous nationwide for their talent for growing the ‘second bread’ as potatoes are called in Russia. People were queueing up in front of the booths selling potatoes.

In their turn, potato growers from Bryansk were queueing up to see the Massey Ferguson 7624 (235 hp) tractor showcased at the booth of the Bryansk branch of AgroCentreLiski.

‘These tractors operate successfully on many potato growing farms of the region’, says Evgeniy Lazutin, Sales Manager of the Bryansk branch of AgroCentreLiski. ‘They perform exceptionally well with cutter heads or potato harvesters. The machines are also used for other types of fieldwork in combination with medium and small-size implements. Another important advantage is that this tractor is the most cost-effective in its class. The secret of the cost-efficiency lies in the cutting-edge AGCO POWER electronic engine control system.’

The Dyna 6 transmission automatically changes gears depending on the load in each range. This allows to optimise engine power for any type of fieldwork and, consequently, reduce fuel consumption.

Farmers from Bryansk oblast took a fancy to the heavy TopDown 400 cultivator displayed at AgroCentre’s booth. This hard-working Swede has been tilling the land of Russian farms for over 10 years already. Its main advantage is versatility. The machine demonstrates very good performance in various field conditions and copes with a wide range of tasks with equal success. In fact, it combines the advantages of three tools in one. The cultivator mulches and incorporates residue and tills soil in one pass. The working depth reaches 40 cm.
