The architects of victories

The 21-st BelgorodAgro trade fair has demonstrated that in these tough times, agriculture has become a locomotive of the Russian economy. The exhibitors showcased the latest developments and novelties from Russian and foreign manufacturers.

One hundred and eighty companies from 17 regions of Russia, the Republic of Belarus and Poland displayed their developments in livestock production, veterinary medicine, animal science, crop production and farm machinery.

The trade show was dedicated to new technologies. The Belgorod branch office of AgroCentreLiski generously displayed the most innovative technologies at its booth. The Massey Ferguson 8690 tractor and the JCB 531-70 telescopic loader, leaders in their segments, were presented to the visitors. Both machines won the hearts of farmers with their reliability.

All MF 8600 series tractors are equipped with the latest 6-cylinder turbocharged SISU POWER 8.4 litre engines with the intercooling system offering an increase in power and torque in a wide range of speeds. The engines guarantee high performance characteristics and minimum fuel consumption, which, in its turn, makes it possible to cut down on costs.

The JCB 531-70 loader was also very popular with the guests of the event.

‘The primary benefit of the JCB 531-70 telescopic handler is the unique integrated Powerboom’, says Artem Uzhik, Sales Manager of AgroCentreLiski.

Welded joints are the points susceptible to breaking. Their absence enhances reliability. This quality was very important to Sergey Shumskiy, Director of Dolzhanskoye Farming Enterprise, Belgorod oblast. The volume of work on the farm is tremendous. The total herd size is 2,400 head. Around 17 tonnes of milk is delivered to the processing plant every day. As many as four loaders were purchased in order to handle all the work.

‘The value of things is better seen through comparison’, says Sergey Shumskiy, ‘we visited workshops, observed and compared different options. We chose the JCB 531-70 and never regretted our choice! These loaders handle both fodder and grain exceptionally well and even remove snow. At first, we bought just one machine but quickly saw that it was not enough, then we purchased one more – still not enough, so, finally, we settled on four loaders.’

The JCB 531-70 loader was a real hit at BelgorodAgro. So it is not unlikely that thanks to the trade show, these versatile machines will become an indispensable tool at many farming operations.
