Two brothers - two sprinklers: The story of Ivan and Alexander from Polski Izvor! - part 1

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 story of Berthoud began on the farm of Ivan Atanasov 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. However, his story does not end there, because already in the same year in which he received his new machine, he shared the technology with his brother, helping him with spring spraying, which he himself managed to cope with faster than expected.So a year and a half later in the neighboring farm in the village of Polski Izvor, the one in which his brother Alexander worked with his sons Veder Celine and Hristo, equip themselves with another self-propelled sprayer Berthoud Raptor - already from the updated model with a facelift of the cabin and new possibilities for precision farming. What did Veselin Atanasov, who works in the family farm ZP Atanas Veselinov Atanasov, tell us?

The farm cultivates 6,000 acres of land and is rather categorized as a small family farm. However, despite the small size, the conservation of crops and proper care for them is their top priority. Here comes the place of the Berthoud Raptor 3240 self-propelled sprayer, which they bought 4 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTtcVAWYCM Undoubtedly, such a purchase is not made blindly and in this case it is the result of precisely the confidence that Berthoud's Raptor series of self-propelled sprayers is designed with a focus on comfort of operation and spraying efficiency.

“The reason we stopped at Raptor 3240 is that my uncle. He bought the same sprayer a year before us. We tried it and we really liked it.”

After acquiring the more technological sprayer on the farm in a short period of time they return all the invested funds, thanks to the savings on sectional control. The configuration of the Raptor sprayer allows work on tall crops, as it has a ground clearance of 1.60 m, whichfully meets their needs. What precision farming systems does the sprayer have?The sprayer, which Alexander tells about in the video, has a Norac system that controls the height of the rods, tracking the contours of the terrain and the height of the plants, a Trimble navigation display and Autopilot control with 2cm. accuracy of operation.

Apart from the low maintenance costs, one of the biggest advantages of the sprayer that impresses Veselin is that the entire spraying process is made easy and requires almost no effort.

“So far we have had no other expenses except for consumables such as oil and filters. With 3 tons of water we spray 200 decares of land to absolute accuracy. The sprayer is very nice. I have recommended it to other colleagues as well.” Veselin also shares.
