A partnership tested by time

In 2020, “ABA “Astra” marks 15 years since the start of its cooperation with a key Hungarian partner – the company FraMest KFT.

In 2005, imports of FraMest FraKomb pre-sowing cultivators into Ukraine were established. The first unit was sold that same year to a farm in Mykolaiv region. Improvements to the cultivator have never stopped: covering materials, the technical side, individual parts and equipment.

Since then, FraMest has grown considerably, but hasn’t strayed from its principles: communicating directly with farmers who use FraMest equipment, and always listening to clients’ wishes for improving it.

Over the whole period of cooperation, “ABA “Astra” has supplied cultivators, subsoilers and heavy disc harrows. The FraMest FraKomb pre-sowing cultivator has become a “bestseller” on the Ukrainian market. This is confirmed by reviews from clients who’ve bought these cultivators, and by the results of the equipment demonstrations we run, competing against rivals.

Features of the FraMest FraKomb cultivator

Configuration.
Frame strength.
The best seedbed uniformity.
Ability to work in wet soil.
Optimal price-to-quality ratio.

Now let’s look at the listed features in more detail.

The configuration’s distinctive feature lies in combining the front row of tines across the cultivator’s full width, a front tubular roller, and a rear double ring-and-spur roller, mounted in a staggered pattern. Only “ABA “Astra” can offer this configuration.
The frame’s strength is ensured through the use of high-quality steel from British manufacturer “British Steel”. This is confirmed by cultivators that have been working across Ukraine for 10 years, without a single additional weld seam.
The best seedbed uniformity on the market is achieved thanks to the ability to adjust each section of the cultivator, and even weight distribution across the cultivator’s full width.
The ability to work as early as possible in spring is achieved thanks to the combination, in the configuration, of a 400 mm-diameter front spiral tubular roller and a rear double ring-and-spur roller mounted in a staggered pattern, which reduces clogging when working in wet soil.
So, at an absolutely competitive market price, the client gets an exclusive machine that lets its owner make optimal use of their time, save on fuel and lubricants, and prepare a seedbed suited to absolutely every crop – from poppy to corn.
