On 17 July 2015, Astra Field Day was held in Nepedivka village, Kozyatyn district, Vinnytsia region, becoming a real platform for exchanging experience and promoting innovative technology. “Svitanok” Agrofirm LLC (director Mykola Melnyk), which has been successfully cooperating with “Astra” for several years already, provided their fields for the modern equipment.
Speaking at the Field Day’s opening, ASA “Astra” LLC general director Ihor Hubariev talked about the company’s main lines of business and the wide range of machinery, service and financial services that “Astra” has been providing Ukrainian agricultural producers for 17 years now.
Around two hundred farmers from Vinnytsia and neighbouring regions saw at work and assessed the advantages of the machinery supplied by “Astra”.
It was right here, at this Field Day, that the first field demonstration took place of the new Challenger MT 865 E tracked tractor model (this tractor was introduced in Ukraine during the “AGRO-2015” exhibition).
For the first time, our company demonstrated the new Fendt 936 Vario G3 tractor at work (introduced in Ukraine in February during the Fendt demo tour).
And one more premiere: farmers were able to see the Horsch Leeb trailed sprayer at work.
Besides these new products, guests saw the following machines at work: the Will Rich cultivator, the Horsch disc harrow, cultivator and seed drill, the Gregoire Besson plough and disc-shank harrow, Berthoud trailed sprayers, the Kuhne heavy disc harrow, the Manitou telescopic loader, the Bogballe spreader, the Fliegl overloading trailer, and the Oros corn and sunflower header. Everyone interested was able to get detailed information on the machinery’s specifications from “Astra” specialists.
The Field Day wrapped up with a reception with an interesting programme and a prize draw of valuable gifts from our suppliers.
