Georgi Ivanov: The advantages of Berthoud Bruin are many

Cooperative “Bezmer”, Bezmer village, Dobrich region, cultivates 41,000 decares of agricultural land. It grows traditional crops — wheat, corn, sunflower and rapeseed. The farm is an example of a modern cooperative, in which the organization is at a high level, the requirements are high and the results are on the face.

In the fleet of the cooperative, two self-propelled sprayers of the Berthoud brand are distinguished. One has been working on the farm for 10 years, and the other is the latest model BROWNpurchased this year.

Georgi Ivanov, chairman of the cooperative, talks about his experience with the machine and gives an answer to the question — why he decided to bet on this brand for the second time when choosing a plant protection technique.

“The first self-propelled sprayer we bought was Berthoud Raptor. The machine has been working with us for 10 years. For its time it was something unseen, with great productivity and did a very good job for us. For all the time we have used it, and so far the machine has processed about 500,000 decares, it has not caused us any problems. This was one of the main reasons for our second self-propelled sprayer to be of this brand”, explains the farmer.

Georgi Ivanov: The advantages of Berthoud Bruin are many.

Here are all the advantages of the self-propelled sprayer that are most valuable to the chairman of the Bezmer JSC.

“Starting from the conditions of the mechanizer, which have been improved at times, the interior of the cabin is different. The engine of the machine is larger, which allows easier operation in our rough terrain, which increases the productivity of the machine”, says Georgi Ivanov.

In fact, sprinklers Berthoud Brownare designed to meet the requirements of high-intensity farming. The machine is available with a tank capacity of 4200 liters and several types of rod models with lengths of 28 m, 30 m and 36 m.

The model has the patented, biturbine, centrifugal pump Omega with two working cycles and a capacity of 550l/min at a working pressure of 3 bar.

“A great advantage is the switching off of each nozzle separately when overlapping already sprayed areas. This increases the accuracy of the introduction of the preparations and in combination with 2.5cm working accuracyis essential,” said the chairman of the Bezmer cooperative.

And more with Berthoud Brownyou can easily make a combination of tank volume and rod length that will give you maximum productivity relative to the size of your fields and farm.

One of the most valuable qualities of the machine is its ability to work “nozzle by nozzle”, thanks to technology SprayTronic. Another important advantage is the impulse modulation of the spray.The high-frequency pulses allow a huge range of single-nozzle operation, sparing detergent, and nozzle-by-nozzle operation results in immense precision when spraying.

We can't miss the system either VT Tronic, which brings spray control to a new generation due to simpler navigation and spray control — with just one terminal. As well as the ability to automatically turn off sections and VRA.

“Another advantage of this model is the hydraulic unfolding and retraction of the wheel. In the new machine, the lifting of the sprayer is also hydraulic, unlike the old one, in which it is done manually. The width of the sprayer is also larger, which in our crossed terrains leads to greater stability of the machine”, added Georgi Ivanov.

The farmer has been working with NIK for more than 17 years.

“The very fact that I have been working with NIK for so many years and we are even increasing the volume of joint activity speaks for itself. We do not have any problems with the service and maintenance of the machines. This is important because the machines are very high-tech. Both their products and services are at the right level,” concluded Georgi Ivanov.
