What could be tenderer?

At the YarAgro 2012 agro-industrial exhibition, specialists from the Yaroslavl branch of AgroCentreZakharovo introduced farmers to Challenger and Kverneland equipment, the globally renowned machines for a variety of agricultural operations. They also held consultations on various farming jobs and technologies.

The guests named the Challenger MT765C caterpillar tractor (320 hp) the gem of the exhibition. Compared to its wheeled counterparts, the caterpillar model treats the soil "tenderly", i.e. applies to it the least possible pressure. Its draught is higher, but skidding is lower. The tractor can operate at a speed of up to 40 km/h, saving up to 15% of fuel.

It is no surprise that this yellow tractor caught the fancy of the many farmers who are eager to acquire such an efficient tool for their farms.  

“The caterpillar tow tractors are real ‘work horses’ on the fields”, says Andrei Serikov, head of the Yaroslavl branch of AgroCentreZakharovo. “They operate perfectly on soft and wet soils, assuring an earlier entry of the tractor onto the field in spring. This is particularly important for regions with a short crop production time”.
