2013 is second mutual business year for Stokker Agri and Bednar FMT. So far only machines up to 6 m wide were introduced to Estonian farmers, so sale of first 10 m machine was important event. \u201cIt happened that quite few big farms are currently looking for either replacements to their big tillage kits or stepping up from 5-6 m machines,\u201d says Ergo Viil, Product Manager of Stokker Agri. \u201cLast few years proved that weather may make quite unpleasant jokes to farmers and time one has for tillage and seeding might be very, very short. Hence need for productivity, therefore wider machinery, is on a rise.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Why Bednar?<\/h2>\n


\nThe farm that SwifterDisc XE 10000 went to has over 1000 ha under cereals.\u00a0 Unlike other colleagues, they grow a lot of rye, thus already many years are carrying nickname of\u00a0\u201cKings of rye\u201d.\u00a0 Hans Kruusam\u00e4g, the owner, explains how he came to decision to purchase namely Bednar machine:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s design of the machine that swayed me to this brand.\u00a0 Many competitive machines looked like stretched 6 m models, while this one seems to be constructed as big unit from scratch.\u00a0 I expect to last it long on my farm.\u201d

\nOver 70 ha done in first two half-days, in rather small fields with plenty of obstacles and while still learning the machine.

\nThere quite few such rocks pointing out in the middle of the field in this parts of Estonia.

So far, so \u2026 Brilliant!<\/h2>\n


\n\u201cBrilliant!\u201d\u00a0was the response from tractor driver Veljo Pihlak when asked what he could say about his new disc cultivator.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIt does not jump!\u00a0 Yesterday I was sometimes drove 17 km\/h and, unlike the old machine I worked with, it flows smoothly over the field no matter what\u2019s the speed,\u201d\u00a0he speaks excitedly.\u201d\u00a0Simple machine, simple adjustment, depth adjustment from the cab, easy folding and unfolding,\u201d\u00a0lists further advantages.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI like it,\u201d\u00a0adds \u2026 with a wide smile which was still probably not really wider than ones on the faces of owner.

\nQuite unusual task was performed: zooming in would show barley seed laying on soil.\u00a0 It was spread with fertilizer spreader.\u00a0 SwifterDisc then mixes them into the soil.

\u201cI like it too\u201d<\/h2>\n


\n\u201cI like it too: what it does, how it does and how farmers respond to that\u201d\u00a0Ergo Viil says while walking off the field.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThere is always some anxiety when delivering new machine, but I am completely confident now.\u201d\u00a0 Ants Tust adds:\u00a0\u201cThis farm is opinion leader in this area.\u00a0 They have never purchased anything from us before.\u00a0 I see bright future for Bednar!\u201d
