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