Love at first sight

The first Massey Ferguson 6713 tractor in Siberia is heading off to Omsk. The proud owner is Zemledelets enterprise managed by Sergey Lepshiy.

It was love at first sight. The initial encounter took place in February at the Massey Ferguson manufacturing facility in France, which Sergey visited during a customer trip arranged by AgroCentre.

‘As soon as I saw the Massey Ferguson 6713, I knew it was cut out for us’, says the farmer, ‘we were looking for a machine of that class — within a 130 hp -140 hp power range — to tow our trailed combine harvester.’

Before purchasing the Massey Ferguson 6713, Zemledelets had another medium-powered tractor. But, according to Sergey, the machine failed to cope with the load. Due to numerous breakdowns, repair works took up money and time which is so precious during the season.

‘The old tractor could not handle the assigned duties and kept falling apart’, says Sergey Lepshiy. ‘I evaluated all the machinery of the medium power range on offer, read reviews, then I saw the MF 6713 with my own eyes and went for a test-drive. After consulting with the AgroCentre managers, all the doubts I might have had cleared. The decision was made to purchase the new Massey Ferguson 6713 for our farm.’

Sergey Lepshiy put a special focus on exceptional comfort of the Massey Ferguson. According to him, the tractor cab reminds of one in a luxury car.

‘We run a family farm’, says Sergey Lepshiy, ‘my sons work alongside me, and it’s only natural that I want them to work in comfort. Now I don’t have to worry about it anymore!’

The close family team of Zemledelets was handed the keys to the tractor in a solemn atmosphere, with wishes to achieve their most ambitious goals with the new farm hand!
