Why are you receiving this letter?
- We know you own, or are considering buying, a Manitou telescopic loader. Manitou is versatile, reliable machinery that has changed life on most of the farms where it works.
- We know you own, or are considering buying, Challenger machinery. Challenger offers the widest range of agricultural machinery in Ukraine. This includes tractors, combine harvesters, self-propelled sprayers, balers, seed drills and soil-cultivation equipment.
Who are we expecting at “Astra Show”?
|
We invite your operator or operators to take part in the I All-Ukrainian olympiad, where Ukraine’s best Manitou telescopic loader operators will be determined through fair competition. We’ve prepared interesting, not overly complex tasks. Exercises are scored in points and timed. The overall result is made up of these two measures. We’re waiting for operators who work with a Manitou telescopic loader every day and are ready to compete for the “Olympiad Champion” title. |
We invite your tractor operator to take part in the competition, where Ukraine’s best tractor operators working with Challenger machinery will be determined through fair competition. We’ve prepared interesting, not overly complex tasks. Exercises are scored in points and timed. The overall result is made up of these two measures. We’re waiting for operators who work every day on Challenger tractors, or on other tractors, but who are interested in the powerful, modern, economical machinery of a leading manufacturer, and who are ready to compete for the “Best Tractor Operator” title. |
We’d be glad and grateful if farm managers and their family members could find the time to come to the show and cheer on their team or their operator.
We hope to see the ladies among the show’s participants too! An exclusive prize will be presented to every woman who wishes to take part in the competitions.
By popular request, on the first day there will be a meeting with the press, and with anyone wishing to study the course and the tasks.
