Winter is slowly ending, and for several days now we’ve all been feeling spring approaching: the snow is melting, it’s getting warmer outside, and thermometers in most regions are showing above-zero temperatures. Operators are tired of sitting at home – they’re already itching to get behind the wheel, start the engine, and head out to the field to prepare the soil for sowing. The equipment has been serviced, everything’s ready for the season to begin.
Before the start of the season (February 16–17), the company «ASA «ASTRA» decided to hold a repeat, pre-season training for operators who work on Fendt 936 Vario tractors. The training was held at ASA Astra’s central service center in Chabany and at the Vinnytsia regional service center. Operators came to us from Cherkasy, Kyiv, and Vinnytsia regions. «ASTRA»’s lead service engineer, Viktor Karpenko, taught the guys how to properly operate this powerful equipment, how to carry out daily maintenance, how to correctly choose operating modes for different tasks, and how to work with the tractor’s onboard computer – Variotronic.
In turn, the operators who came from different enterprises had the chance to share operating tips for the Fendt tractor with our service engineers and with each other.
The training ended with an exam, and after running this training we can confidently say that not only is the equipment ready for the season, but so are the people who operate it!
