FIMA 2016. Durán Maquinaria Agrícola S.L.

Whenever we visit the Durán Maquinaria Agrícola S.L. stand we feel at home. The fact is that meeting Antonio, Alberto,… is a great pleasure. Besides, they show us their machinery.

Durán Maquinaria Agrícola introduced their the most important brands that they commercialize: Pöttinger, Mc​H​ale, Pichón and Caruelle. Without any doubt all of them are brands of great standing.

We could see the complete range of Pöttinger implements: soil preparation, seed drill machine and ​grassland machine… that is the key product of Durán Maquinaria Agrícola and one of the best brands of the market. Last summer, we speak about the Pöttinger Terradisc 3501 disc harrow… In FIMA we could see the disc harrow Terradisc 6001 T, which has 6 working meters, equipped with a transport chassis, needs less power than the same attached model. The Aerosem seed drill machines are also a product that we would like to highlight… Hopefully, we could test that machine working and therefore we could share our impressions with you, our followers.

As well, they had a large variety of Caruelle sprayer. It is clear that they are machines of high quality designed for the most demanding farmers. The Pichon slurry tankers surprised us for their size and robustness. Regarding the McHale Variable Chamber Round Baler​,​ the more we see, the more we like. You can find different configurations and different sizes for any kind of explotation. As you can see in our pictures, the machines are of high quality and besides they are supported by a really good after-sales service.

Antonio, Alberto,​...​ thank you very much for serving us so kindly.

FIMA 2016. Erme

Another company we consider really interesting to visit is the French branch Erme. As you know, we are farmers specialized in garlic cultivation and Erme, without any doubt, owns the best machinery for it, since it was a pioneering company in manufacturing this kind of machines and, nowadays, it continues to offer great quality and innovating machines.

Their stand was really small, and we only could see the ​garlic harvester binder of only one row. Also, we could see some novelties like can be a video about the expected cutting machine. Doubtlessly, it will be an authentic revolution in this field, because it is the only task that currently still continues being done manually.

It is sure that this year we will publish post dedicated to this machine. Furthermore, they exposed some parts of their famous pneumatic planter (we talked about it in this post). We should highlight that this machine is giving them magnificent results.

Finally, they launched their new website, which has been updated and it is sure it will be a meeting point for many farmers ... we liked it so much.

Patricia , Jonathan ... thank you very much for your comments.

FIMA 2016. Bellota Agrisolutions

This time, we are speaking about one stand where their people are friendlier. For us, it is a great pleasure to can visit the Bellota Agrisolutions stand... We always learn something new.

Bellota Agrisolutions is a Company that, since decades, has invested lots of means in apply the best techniques and R&D (Research and Deployment) in the manufacture of discs​, tines​,​… they explained us that many farmer visitors tell them their grandfathers already used Bellota tools in their time… For them, this is one of the most important reasons and the best incentive to continue investing and working in the same way.

Their great novelties for this farm fair was:

• Vortex Disc: which have been designed to work at great speeds (about 15k​m/h) in vertical jobs.
• Duratop product range​. We spoke about it in the last summer.
• Long live discs: inPHInium (with a perfect balance between hardness and toughness).
• LUR Discs: which have been devised to carry out tillage aggressively and energetically to shred and mix even the most resistant waste with disc harrows in both dry and wet soils.
• Super-Sharp Discs: a​n​ original concave dics with 20 waves and a special super sharp edge, in order to get the maximum cut and introduction into the ground.
• AKER Disc Blade with eighteen tangential waves: The new AKER disc is a specially-designed disc for ploughing the soil and preparing the seed bed, with excellent stubble cutting capability in all soil type. Their eighteen tangential waves produce and excellent cutting capability with minimum vertical force.

Thank you very much Arantxa, Eduardo, Julio, Bakarne,... it was a great amusement to spend some time with you.

FIMA 2016. CEREA Autosteer GPS

Automatic guidance system CEREA debuted in FIMA, which is the most important farm fair of Spain, and the results didn’t disappoint. Under our point of view, the stand was too small for how big the project is. This was one of the most commented and visited stands in FIMA, without any doubts.

We could visit it and we meet all of their inventors, besides, they explained us the latest news of this magnificent auto guidance system. The most important news were:

• The autorotation of the vehicle in the headboards, which are capable of complete the established contour (of the ​field) without touching the steering wheel any time​.​
• And the integration and control of the sprayer directly with the CEREA system.

According to our opinion, this system is really good,… we owns this system since years (we could speak about it in this post) and every day we like more and more.

Cesar, Kiko,… thank you very much for all the work you are carrying out.

One more time, Twins-farm brothers visited FIMA and obviously we spent some time in the stand of one of the best Spanish manufactures of implements for soil preparation: Gascón International. There, we could see the exposed latest news in disc harrows and subsoilers, which we would like to highlight the subsoiler with the hydropneumatic system of. This brand has available implements of every sizes and working widths, therefore any farmer have different options regardless of their holdings.

As you can see in our pictures, we could see different configurations of their ​fast ​disc harrow called Otho and the different arms that they use for their mixer ​stubble ​chis​s​el. Also, we could appreciate the subsoiler with the hydropneumatic system… we ensure you that in the near future we will post about this impressive subsoiler. Without any doubt, these implements are tools of huge quality at very competitive prices.

Thanks to Malgarí, Alfredo, Artemio,... for your availabity and your attention during our visit.
