In mid-June, under the motto “Fendt Goes East”, sales engineer specialist Jan-Christoph Hoffmann set off from Marktoberdorf (Germany) on a Fendt Vario 936 tractor. His destination – a large agricultural enterprise in Ukraine, spanning around 300 thousand hectares of land. To get there, over the following four weeks he’ll need to cover about three thousand kilometres – through seven countries. And on agricultural enterprises in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine, he’ll carry out pre-seeding soil preparation, work on pastures, haul cargo, harvest crops, and even take part in construction and forestry work.
Together with Profi, a magazine dedicated to agricultural machinery, AGCO/Fendt is sending along a film crew – to have an exciting new film about the “Fendt Goes East” tour ready in time for the Agritechnica 2013 exhibition. The tour’s logo is the sun – because the sun rises in the east. It’s the goal the tractors head toward each morning, and it’s reflected in the rear-view mirrors each evening, after a long day’s work.
According to plan, the Fendt Vario Power 936 tractor arrives in Ukraine on 11 July, with filming taking place 15–17 July.
ASA “ASTRA” LLC is the Fendt factory and Profi magazine’s main partner for this project in Ukraine.
