Three reasons to renew your fleet this fall

Reason 1: Better sowing

The quality of any sowing is important, but in the fall it is especially important to sow your autumn seeds at the right time, catching the right amount of moisture in the soil so that the seeds germinate quickly before the weather has set in and there is a risk of freezing the seeds.However, quality sowing does not necessarily mean having an expensive planter. Quality autumn sowing can also be achieved with a smaller size planter, also suitable for smaller and medium-sized farms. Important here are compact dimensions during transportation and a good dosing apparatus that can sow seeds of different sizes. Thus, you will ensure the same result in different varieties of wheat and sorghum, as well as when sowing rapeseed, sorghum and other small seeds.An example of exactly such an inventory is given by Ranko Mihaylov:

Reason 2: More precise fertilization

Fertilization is undoubtedly the most expensive operation in agricultural production, and its price is increasing with the current trend of increasing the price of fertilizers. A good mower guarantees you both accurate application of fertilizer in the field and the possibility of saving on fertilizers through sectional control and application of a variable rate. Sectional control helps to avoid overfertilization, which can harm the crop, as well as from fertilization outside the plot. Fertilizer savings when fertilizing using sectional control reach up to 15% for various shapes and sizes of the block. Analyses show that the savings in a relatively small block of 300-400 decares with only 4% overlap (i.e. 4% savings through sectional control) amount to more than 250 BGN.

“Multiply it by the number of entries in this block, and then by the number of blocks in your farm and you will get an amount for which it is worth thinking about whether you do not need a new mower for this season,” says Ranko Mihaylov.

CL is an abbreviation of compact line, which gives a sign that the machine can also be hitched on smaller tractors. GEOSPREAD, however, speaks to the high level of technology that the mower possesses — the possibility of precise fertilization using sectional control, variable fertilizer application, edging system and the technology for evenly spreading fertilizer over the entire width of the field, even on an incline — CentreFlow.”— specifies Ranko Mikhailov.More about saving when using a variable fertilization rate and how it can reach up to 90% of your plans can be read in this article.

Reason 3: Better quality plowing

Despite the trends of transition to conservation agriculture, plowing occupies a traditional place in the calendar of agrotechnical events of almost every single farmer. Its qualitative performance is key to the prevention of weeds and slugs, while at the same time it has a beneficial effect on the soil by burying plant residues inside the depth and.The traditions in the production of Kverneland plows date back to the company's founding 140 years ago, and the reversible pruners marked their 50th anniversary in 2021. Provoked by the needs of the market in Eastern Europe (including Bulgaria) in 2021, the company launched a new model of working body - №38, which is a combination between the well-known in our country №9 and №28 and performs excellently when plowing at a depth of 35 cm.

“It is with this working body model that the 150B plows that we offer this autumn to farmers are equipped with” — says Ranko Mihaylov

The model 150Bis available with both 3 and 4 pairs of working bodies. A characteristic feature of it is the bolted protection of the working organs, which is extremely easy to maintain, does not need adjustment and at the same time is very reliable. The new model body and scoreboard ensure smooth plowing with excellent soil turning.Information about the machines mentioned in the material can be found on the following page.
