Winning Siberia over!

The JCB 531-70 Agri telescopic loader has started its victory march in Krasnoyarsk Krai. AgroCentre has conducted demo shows of the legendary machine at 8 farming enterprises of the western and eastern districts of the region.

‘We have covered the entire region’, says Mikhail Kovalenko, Head of Krasnoyarsk branch of AgroCentreZakharovo. ‘Test-drives have taken place in Balakhta, Sharypovo, Nazarovo, Achinsk, Kansk and Rybinskiy districts, and a demo road show is starting in the south of the region soon. The accomplished work has produced its first results already: two delivery contracts for JCB 531-70 Agri loaders have been signed.’

One of the loaders is headed to Agrosphera, Achinsk district. According to Gennadiy Sudarkov, Sales Manager of Krasnoyarsk branch of AgroCentreZakharovo, the decision-making was fast. It only took them two KAMAZ truckloads of grain to realise that no other machine could do the job better.

Among those reluctant to give the loader up were also agricultural producers of Mogucheye, Balakhta district.

‘JCB 531-70 Agri satisfies our requirements in full’, says Valeriy Nesin, Head of Mogucheye. ‘With our small storage facilities, bulky machinery would simply be unable to turn, whereas this loader is small, swift and delivers tenfold efficiency.’

Aleksandr Kaufman, Head of Cheryomushka, Balakhta district, shares his opinion:

‘JCB 531-70 Agri is unsurpassed when it comes to grain storages’, says the grower. ‘If you ever decide to buy a loader, go only for this one.’

The 531-70 Agri model is the most compact machine in the entire range of full-sized JCB products. However, this does not hinder it from having an impressive lifting capacity, great power and increased stability on soft ground. Four-wheel steer means superb manoeuvrability of the loader. Standard equipment includes telescopic and front attachments. With its telescopic boom, the loader can lift cargoes weighing up to 3,000 tonnes up to 7 metres high. Moreover, the LiveLink telematics solution is fitted as standard.

The LiveLink terminal is integrated into the machine and sends data to the owner’s cell phone enabling them to monitor the performance and location of the loader as well as its maintenance history via LiveLink.

‘Every manager should know what their machinery is busy with at any given moment’, says Alexey Yevdokimenko, Head of Chistopolskiye Nivy, Balakhta district, ‘and LiveLink provides a 100% guarantee that all operations are performed properly.’

The enterprise is engaged in dairy farming and crop production. They grow oats and barley and make their own forages. A loader like this would come in handy. The same goes for neighbouring enterprises: such a manoeuvrable and versatile ‘farm hand’ is indispensable virtually everywhere, according to Alexey Yevdokimenko.

‘Many farmers complain of poor service and high routine maintenance costs’, says Mikhail Kovalenko. ‘This does not hold true for us, our service is both affordable and of superior quality. Our service technicians are available for customers 24/7.’
