Last autumn, AgroCentreLiski arranged a competition on fields of the Russkoye Pole LLC, Voronezh oblast, between the Fendt 933 (320 hp) tractor and its wheeled counterpart of a different model. Aleksandr Lynov, the servicing engineer of the enterprise, told us about the competition results and why the Fendt tractor became the headliner on the farm.

The Avangard-Agro agriholding has acquired a batch of twenty-five Challenger caterpillar tractors from AgroCentreLiski. This is the world’s biggest deal for the supply of caterpillar machines.
According to the estimates of experts, over recent years the Russian caterpillar tractor market has grown significantly.

The current year brought records to the Kursk farmers. They became the Central Federal Region’s champions in grain harvesting. The grain total of the oblast came to 4 million tonnes, for which it was awarded the Grand Prix of the Golden Autumn 2013 All-Russian Agro-Industrial Exhibition. At the Farmers’ Day, the agrarians received congratulations they well deserved.
It is possible to save on buying certain spares for farming equipment. One should remember, however, that using components from suppliers other than the original manufacturer can seriously damage both the equipment and the farmer’s pocket. That is why experts from AgroCentre strongly advise farmers not to take risks buying substitute components lest they learn the hard way why the miser pays double.
The Russian farmers had a stroll around Buckingham Palace, watched Big Ben and visited the largest JCB loaders’ manufacturing plant. This opportunity was provided to them by AgroCentre Company, organisers of the trip to England.
AgroCentre introduced its customers to the Massey Ferguson brand when they visited the company’s tractor assembly plant in France. Every farmer in Europe knows this brand. The company’s logo, “a trebled triangle” has become for them a symbol of success. AgroCentre believes that this will also bring success to our farmers.
