JUMBO parade in Czech Republic
Managing Director of Agrospol Mladá Vožice reports
Agrospol Mladá Vožice a. s. Co. Ltd. is involved exclusively in primary agricultural production. The association has 3,500 ha of which 3,200 ha are fields at a height above sea level of between 420 and 640 m. 1,200 to 1.300 ha is used for winter wheat, 700 to 800 ha is for rapeseed, 200 to 300 ha for summer barley, plus rye, winter barley, forage plants such as maize and clover as well as smaller quantities of potatoes. Crop production accounts for 70 percent of total sales. Dairy production involves 350 cows with an average annual yield of 9,000 kg.
Agrospol have been using Pöttinger loader wagons since 2000. The oldest wagon is the JUMBO 6600 L used together with a 200 hp tractor. They have had an additional JUMBO 8000 L in operation since 2005 and purchased the JUMBO 10000 L two years ago to work with a 360 hp tractor. The furthest transport distance for silage on this farm is no more than one kilometre. The wagons can now transport large loads at high-speed, reducing the unproductive time while the forage was transported away to the trough. For straw the furthest transport distance is three kilometres.
„The Pöttinger loader wagons are the best machines we know of this kind. Because these machines operate reliably and trouble-free, you don't need any spare parts. Each model from this manufacturer is even better with higher performance, new technical improvements and is capable of transporting even heavier loads. We handle 2,500 hectares of silage and straw on our farm with these wagons alone“, says František Dobeš, Managing Director of Agrospol Mladá Vožice Agricultural Co. Ltd. in Tábor.
