Danail Kotsev: Kverneland Accord - an indispensable assistant in sowing for more than 25 years!

What are the criteria by which we define one Planterlike a good one? The machine must be robust, easy to use, but also precise. To be affordable, quick in its work and ensure accurate and even sowing at the required depth, even with a large amount of plant residues.

Speaking of strength, precision and reliability, the Norwegian brand Kvernelandis unsurpassed in its characteristics. The machines offer high productivity, low fuel consumption, accurate seed placement and trouble-free operation season after season.

Danail Kotsev from Gramada, who has been working with the planter for more than 25 years Accord tells us more about his experience and why he does not think of parting with his planter! She is his faithful assistant in autumn sowing and in the past 2019-2020 agricultural year.

“Like every new farmer, we started with older farmers, and over time they became newer. From the beginning we use a Kverneland fused surface planter. Productivity is not bad, about 600 acres per day. Easy to service, anchor type, older model, but we are satisfied”.

Kverneland is the first choice for many farmers. Danail Kotsev is one of them. His first meeting with Kverenland took place many years ago. Since then, he has used nothing but the Kverneland planter on his farm.

“In 1989, my parent got one, and I met her even then. Otherwise, since 1995, I have personally started cultivating my land with this brand. The Kverneland planter is easy to maintain and that's why we've been working with it for 25 years now and keep going. First with 8 m, now with 6 m anchor type”, explained Danail Kotsev.

What plays a significant role in the choice of the farmer is the ease of servicing the machine.

“The service from the back is an anchor, there is nothing to wear and wear, it is not as complicated from a technical point of view as, for example, disc planters that have bearings. So we are used to it and we are satisfied,” Daniel said.

The planter Accordis specially developed for the needs of grain producers in Eastern Europe, taking into account the soil and climatic conditions in these countries, including Bulgaria.

Danail Kotsev also shares about the way he works in his farm and the precision technologies:

“All processing on our farm is carried out with navigation Trimble. We have been using navigation for 5 years and GeoScanthe crop monitoring system. I am also very pleased with the Kverneland mower, because with its help and with that of navigation we fertilize very precisely, “explained the farmer.
