On 12 March, AGCO Corporation, with support from ASA “Astra” and other dealers, held a field demonstration in Crimea of two new agricultural machines for Ukrainian farmers.
The Challenger MT 765 D tracked tractor, rated at 382 hp, shares its main specifications with its predecessor, the Challenger 765 C model, but is fitted with a new engine, an updated transmission and updated running gear.
The second new product was the Challenger 6630 vertical-tillage cultivator. This was the implement’s first field trial outside North America.
The machinery parade was held on one of the fields of “Ekonomiks Company” Scientific Production Enterprise, near Drofyno village (Nyzhnohirskyi district).
The event felt like a large-scale Field Day. Around 100 people took part, including representatives from England, the Netherlands, Belarus, Russia and Mongolia.
Besides the new products, other Challenger-brand agricultural machines relevant to the start of spring field work were also demonstrated: tracked and wheeled tractors, soil-cultivation implements, and seeding equipment.
