Berthoud is not just a sprayer, Berthoud is a collection of technologies that make spraying easier!

Ivan was convinced of this first, and then his brother Alexander from the s. Polish Source.

“The investment in the self-propelled sprayer has almost recovered in the 5 years that I have owned it” - shares Ivan Ivanov.

The story of Berthoud in the s. A Polish spring started on Ivan Atanasov's farm in 2016, when he first encountered the self-propelled sprayer Berthoud Raptor.Quickly she wins him over with her technologicality and maneuverability, and he decides to buy it. Satisfied with his choice and decision, he recommended the machine to his brother, who works in the same land. The farms of the two brothers are located on both sides of the main road that crosses the village. In both bases, Berthoud self-propelled sprayers find their place. First, however, the French brand was trusted by Ivan Ivanov, who worked as a farmer in the region for many years. His experience shows that modern technique pays off quickly, and the results of working with it are more than good. Purchased in 2016, the Berthoud Raptor sprayer is the first sectional control sprayer they own on the farm. It is also the first machine with high technology in spraying, but to arrive at this choice, the farmer considers the purchase for a long time and makes a thorough study of the alternatives. After all, the choice is categorical, and this is Berthoud Raptor.

For a farm, the purchase of a self-propelled sprayer is a serious choice and a big step in the direction of modernization, and in the case where the brand is Berthoud - a step in process automation as well. In this type of decision, the team that will subsequently maintain the machine also has a significant influence, and from the beginning Ivan is convinced that NIK is the right choice. Fortunately, the durability of the machine and the good care of it, make Ivan's meetings with the NIK service team quite rare, and as he shares mainly about regular preventive visits and engine oil changes. In practice, the biggest, and in this case the only, costs that farmers Ivan and Atanas make for their machines are related to replacing the nozzles and changing the oil. Farmer Ivan sprinkles with the self-propelled machine only his own areas - 8000 acres and knows that at any moment he can count on a robust and reliable machine working with automatic sectional control thanks to EC Tronic systems and Trimble GPS navigations. For the period in which he owns the machine, the total sprayed area of the sprayer is 150-160 thousand acres.

For complete equipment of the machine with precision farming technologies, Ivan once again trusts NIK. Self-propelled sprayer works with GPS display for navigation Trimble CFX-750and automatic control system Trimble Autopilot. This combination of technologies makes the machine much lighter to operate and minimizes the load on the operator during spraying. Work overlap has been completely eliminated, and the workflow has become much faster and easier after the implementation of the Berthoud self-propelled sprayer with Trimble precision farming equipment.
