SELF LOADING WAGONS "WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY"

Every year the Czech privately-owned farms association organises the "Best Farm" competition. The assessment of each farm is based on more than just economic factors – they also assess the appearance of the farm, how the family works together and any developments that are planned. In 2006, the fifth time the competition was held, it was won by a family-run farm in Borkovice near Tábor. The farm belongs to the brothers Zdeněk and Václav Frejlach, with other members of the family helping out as needed. |

At the moment they farm 300 ha, 220 ha of which is arable, 72 pasture and meadow and the remaining 8 ha forest. They grow primarily wheat, rapeseed, triticale, malting barley and forage crops. They breed 90 cattle, of which 48 are dairy with an annual yield of around 8000 kg of milk. "We have been lucky because we've always bred cattle, which puts money in the bank every month. That is how we were able to purchase machines and increase the size of our business" says Zdeněk Frejlach. "The first Pöttinger machine we bought was the BOSS 2 loader wagon, which we bought from Agrozet České Budějovice in 2002. We soon realised that this manufacturer produces powerful, reliable machinery and decided to continue buying their products. Today we own ten Pöttinger machines, practically a complete chain for forage, tillage and seed (SERVO 35 plough, TERRADISC 3000 compact harrow, LION 301 power harrow, VITASEM 301 A mechanical seed drill, TWIST 7001 F4 muck spreader, ROLLPROFI 3300 LSC round baler, ...). All we are missing is the tedder, which we intend to purchase next season. The most recent machine we bought was the muck spreader. We are very satisfied with all of the machines; working with Pöttinger agricultural technology is really something special because you get maximum performance and reliability." |

GREATER productivity gains and exceptional build quality are the biggest benefits Michael Silson sees in his new Pöttinger Torro 5100 loader wagons. As owner of Riverlea Contracting in Kaponga, Taranaki, Michael’s business covers a radius of 100km and cartage can account for significant amount of time and money for him and his clients. Moving up to the Pöttinger loader wagons last season has meant Michael has been able to increase his capacity and productivity by almost 33 %.
