AgroCentre-Zernoviye Tekhnologii has been cooperating with GSI, the North American manufacturer of after-harvest equipment, for two years now. Over this period, the concern’s products have become quite popular with Russian farmers. This year the company has supplied seven GSI dryers to agricultural enterprises of the Central Black Earth Zone.

The new product of Vaderstad, Carrier XL disc harrow, was to be sent this autumn for a demonstration tour on the farms of the Black Earth Zone. However, after the very first demonstration the Carrier XL remained at one of the farms of Belgorod oblast, where it entered into permanent service.

Today in terms of sophistication, tractor equipment comes close to that of a spaceship. Therefore its servicing must be appropriate. Just a sledge hammer and a couple of expressive idioms won’t fix a technical problem. So, when buying equipment the farmers carefully think over how it will be serviced and by whom.  

This autumn AgroCentre held a number of equipment demonstrations in different regions of Russia. Challenger and Massey Ferguson high-end tractors, self-propelled sprinklers, grain combine harvesters and a number of towed tools underwent a real test in action on the farms of Lipetsk, Tambov, Orel, Kursk and Penza oblasts. 

Valtra, a widely known brand of AGCO, has put on the market new series T tractors. AgroCentre specialists were the first to familiarise themselves with these novelties. AGCO Corporation arranged a dealers’ trip to Germany where the machines were presented.

AgroCentreZakharovo has staged a real tractor battle on the fields of the Kurganovsky LLC, Penza oblast. The prime movers of the world’s leading manufacturers competed to see which could prepare the soil for spring seeding faster, better and more economically.   

AgroCentre familiarised Russian farmers with Massey Ferguson equipment for the first time at the company’s tractor works in France. A year has now gone by. Today our partners shared their impressions of how the tractors of this brand operate.

Even though the farming season 2014 ended quite recently, farmers are bracing for the next year. As the 19th Voronezhagro agro-industrial exhibition showed, the farmers put their bets on cost-effective equipment.

AGCO opens a new customer support facility in Russia, the Fuse Contact Centre.
