The fields of Stor-Agro LLC, located in Brovary district, Kyiv region, have sandy and loamy soils that require a special approach to cultivation. Farm director Pavlo Petrov notes that achieving high yields is possible thanks to modern technology, with precise, timely seeding playing a key role.
Stor-Agro LLC farms 1,550 hectares, and to ensure even emergence it needs a machine that works fast and precisely. Pavlo Petrov chose the Fendt Momentum seeder for its ability to guarantee seeding accuracy above 99% even at speeds up to 20 km/h, thanks in part to its Vertical Contouring Toolbar (VCT) ground-contour-following system. This system maintains an optimal seeding depth even on uneven terrain.
The seeder can also apply up to four types of fertilizer at once with maximum precision, making the process even more efficient. Smart control via the 20|20® terminal provides real-time data visualization, letting the farmer adjust seeding parameters on the fly.
On the fields of Stor-Agro LLC, the Fendt Momentum seeder was tested seeding corn with 70 cm row spacing. Operating at speeds of 12 to 18 km/h confirmed no skips or doubles, along with even plant development. According to Pavlo Petrov, the seeder’s capabilities — such as placing seed at a perfectly uniform depth and adapting to “no-till” conditions — deliver stable, uniform emergence, which is the foundation for high yields.

Pavlo Petrov already has positive experience working with Fendt machinery. The farm uses a Fendt 1038 tractor, which has proven itself as premium-class machinery. This positive experience only reinforced his confidence in choosing the brand to further expand his equipment fleet.
Fendt Momentum’s innovative solutions — such as the DeltaForce® system for automatic pressure adjustment, vApply® modules for precise fertilizer dosing, and the Load Logic system for soil protection — help achieve high productivity and efficiency. As “Astra” product manager Maksym Dmytrenko notes, demand for the Fendt Momentum keeps growing, since the seeder combines the versatility and precision that modern farms need.
