News about agriculture, farm machinery, agricultural machinery and new technologies for the land
Next week, I hope will have here an used combine harvester for sale, a CLAAS Medion 310, with 5,10m cutterbar with CLAAS autocontour.
machine was made on 2005 and it has around 2500 hours engine. More info and pictures as soon as the machine comes here.
We have sold another lexion, I will try to put some pictures of the machine over the truck before unloading.
The dominator 98 VX has been sold in Cyprus.
As soon as I have a few minutes I will make a big update of the blog
This week I am at CLAAS Iberica learning more about news of combines for this new season, and learning more about repairing so.. please i can not answer to all the emails so wait until I come back home so I can answer everybody 🙂
We are watching from a few years to now a big desire for big farms.
Probably behind there are a lot of goverments looking for a need of food if necesary. Also I have seen some big BIOFUEL companies investing a lof of money into big projects in Africa.
Farms of 20.000 Ha are usual for BIOFUEL production. The projects are complex. In example, a project I designed for Gambia, for a 20.000 ha farm. The company will plant trees but in lines separated 3 metres. in that space, the company will plant maize for 5 years, and after nothing. Combine harvester need to me compact and small, and if possible with AXIAL system or TAF such as Crop Tiger from CLAAS.
Working for this projects are complex. We have as China as producer of very cheap combines, not very competitive machines, but cheap.
In my opinion, this should be focused from other side, creating small enterprise with small machinery working these enormous farms. This will generate profit for everybody.
100% of economic discarge, with benefices for renting machinery
100% free of mechanical problems in the machinery.
a work for the local people who can buy small machines and work for these farms.
a profit market for small micro credits for all the finance system around, or World Bank if we have not got bank local bank around.
African Agriculture Blog
I have decided to link some blogs about farm machinery. I think it is important to have a global knowledge of what happends in the world.
Sometimes Africa in forgotten by us. I have thought somedays about doing something to help. I would like to get involved in some project to improve the african farms, but I would need some NGO working there or some project to apply .
Anyway I have added to my blogroll The African Agriculture Blog
It is not possible to add comment to maybe we can comment some interesting news here
Lindner Tractors
During last months we are lookig to this nice tractor we are finding everywhere we go. Linder, a tractor made in Austria and with a nice finish.
new serie 4 out. check it at his website LINDNER
in german, what a pity!
Ex Demo farm machinery
We are thinking about create a new enterprise in order to sell high quality second hand machines and Ex-Demo machines.
We could get some tractors from shows with 10-100 hours. It is difficult to find the exact model you wish but you can contact me to try get it at a very very nice price 😀
This is only a concept depending the demand of these machines.
CIMAG 2009
These days I will go to CIMAG, International Agricultural Machinery Show. A small show in the north of Spain. I do not have machinery to show there, but probably a lot of my customers will be there so I have to keep in touch with them.
For the moment is not an important show. This is the fourth year but is a nice show. If you are near, come to CIMAG
Thanks to lift-loaders.ru
They are helping us to contact some enterprise at Ukraine and Russia to create a Joint Venture or a strong collaboration in order import to those countries large quatities of farm machinery.
