Excelent Premium 6<br />
Owners’ Experience<br />
Farma Kozlovský, Býškovice<br />
430 ha<br />
Ing. Rostislav Kozlovský, Owner<br />
Our farm manages 430 hectares of arable land. Before purchasing any<br />
sowing technology, we decided to test the Excelent Premium 6 machine<br />
by Farmet and to compare it with a similar type by Amazone. In autumn<br />
2009, we executed the trial sowing and we decided to purchase<br />
the machine for our farming needs with regard to the positive resu<strong>lt</strong>s. One<br />
of the greatest advantages is the system of front and rear rollers ensuring<br />
precise depth control of the sowing shares which helps us obtain evenly<br />
germinated growths with the same sowing depth in the entire working<br />
coverage and thus the entire area sown. Also, the machine can also sow in<br />
soil that is not easily processed, such as after ploughing, in a single passing<br />
and it also gives excellent resu<strong>lt</strong>s under more humid conditions and in<br />
heavy soils.<br />
We use the Excelent Premium 6 machine for sowing various crops in<br />
spring, such as barley, pea or soya, and in autumn for wheat and rape. We<br />
have used the machine for sowing on an area of about 700 hectares. The<br />
actual operation under actual soil conditions clearly shows the low<br />
demands of the machine for service also thanks to the service-free<br />
movable parts. The operators thus focus their time mainly on productive<br />
work. Thanks to the low tensile resistance, the machine also signifi cantly<br />
contributes to fuel savings in the order of tens of percent depending on<br />
the tractor. The short construction provides excellent tracing, small<br />
turning radius at the headland and thus better processing of the entire<br />
area to the edges while minimizing screening.<br />
The provision of service by Farmet as well as the cooperating company<br />
Navos is at a professional level. We will defi nitely address Farmet from<br />
Česká Skalice before buying other machines planned for 2011.<br />
