On September 12, farmers from Chernihiv region gathered in the town of Ichnia to watch a demonstration of the best and most powerful equipment from the German brands Fendt and Horsch. The event took place on the land of “Ichnianske” LLC and became a useful platform for meeting Chernihiv region’s farmers, getting acquainted with our equipment, and a chance for farm owners to get a bit of a break mid-season.
On display, both at work, were flagship machines that have already worked on the farm for years and once again proved their effectiveness, as well as 2019’s new arrivals. Even if you couldn’t make it to the event, we’ll introduce you to the equipment that was on display:
An entirely new Fendt design, oriented toward the individual requirements of large farms and contracting enterprises worldwide. Countless technical highlights, an extensive package of connection equipment, a relatively low own weight and a stylish new design are the key to broad applicability and worldwide popularity.
Every component of the Fendt tractor (engine, gearbox, fan, hydraulic system, etc.) was optimally matched to each other at the design stage and built on the “high torque – low engine speed” principle to ensure minimal fuel consumption.
The compact, universal Valtra А95 tractor – one of the best solutions in its category: a highly efficient AGCO Power engine, a repeatedly tested and reliable gearbox, a sturdy frame design all let you make optimal, full use of the tractor for every kind of work.
The Horsch Joker RT disc stripper stands out for excellent performance thanks to its high working speed – up to 20 km/h. The Horsch Joker RT harrow is optimally suited for shallow stubble tillage, stimulating volunteer-seed germination, breaking soil capillarity, mixing in crop residue and surface preparation of the sowing horizon.
The 4-row Horsch Tiger MT cultivator consists of a 2-row disc harrow (ø 68 cm) and a 2-row cultivator, which together excellently shred and mix a huge amount of crop residue, even long stalks (corn or grain stubble), on any soil type
Uncompromising efficiency in this new arrival from Horsch. The machine has an autonomous, high-performance hydraulic system, independent of the tractor’s hydraulics, as well as a lightweight design to reduce ground pressure and low rolling resistance. Large wheels mean lower ground pressure, along with the unique BoomControl boom-guidance system and a modern polyethylene tank.
A universal planting system for working under any conditions after a plow or disc harrow. The Pronto principle (seedbed preparation, compaction, sowing, packing) lets you place seed material precisely under any conditions at high working speed. Seedbed preparation, soil compaction, sowing and packing – in a single operation.
This is a fundamentally new machine with phenomenal capabilities. Horsch Focus TD universal planters let you handle every question around sowing grain crops with 15/30 cm row spacing, or row crops with 45/70 cm row spacing. 4 work zones: tillage, hollow discs, a soil packer and seeding coulters.
Horsch Maestro row-crop planters ensure ideal metering and seed-singulation precision, and are optimally suited for sowing corn, soybean, sunflower or sugar beet. Three features make the Maestro a machine of its own kind: an innovative metering system – a compact vacuum meter – a seed-placement monitoring system.
Guests got to see 9 pieces of equipment working at once, taste delicious food, listen to the band “Crème Brûlée” and win valuable prizes.
Thank you to “Ichnianske” LLC for such a warm welcome, and to everyone who came to see us!
