Owners’ Experience<br />
Statek Měrunice<br />
700 ha<br />
Ing. Josef Valenta, Owner<br />
We have had good experience with technology by Farmet. Since 2000, we<br />
have owned the Farmet BSK 600 sowing machine and we are satisfi ed<br />
with it. We only manage seven hundred hectares but we have started<br />
off ering services to neighbouring farms. To maximally use our effi cient<br />
Fendt 936 tractor, we decided to buy the Farmet Excelent Premium 8<br />
sowing machine. This decision was partially based on the patriotism to<br />
Czech products, but mainly on the good experience with the Farmet make<br />
from previous years and particularly the distinct advantages of the sowing<br />
machine. Under our conditions, the machine can process 100 hectares<br />
daily at the working speed of 15 km per hour and consumption of 4–6 l/ha.<br />
This consumption is also based on the use of a modern tractor with<br />
a variable gearbox. We sow a wide range of crops, such as winter rape<br />
and wheat, spring barley, mustard, soya, pea as well as fl ax and corn.<br />
Even though Excelent Premium cannot obtain the precise spacing such as<br />
special corn sowing machines, it is suffi cient for our purpose as we only<br />
sow corn for feeding purposes and on small areas. We have sown 1,500<br />
hectares of diff erent crops under diff erent conditions with the machine,<br />
both in stubble breaking and after ploughing. We appreciate the versatility<br />
of the machine, its ability to level soil and create a seedbed in one passing.<br />
The machine has great permeability for plant residues and it does not clog<br />
even when used on soils that are more diffi cu<strong>lt</strong> to process. We also like the<br />
resistance of the machine to sticking when working in moist soils. Many<br />
companies in our surroundings cannot sow with their machines when it is<br />
wet but we continue working and help them. At the beginning of the year<br />
we also purchased a new chisel cu<strong>lt</strong>ivator, Turbulent 5 by Farmet. This<br />
machine also has several advantages and it can work under extreme<br />
conditions and deliver high quality of work. We were the fi rst ones to<br />
fi nish fi eld work in our region thanks to the intense use of the cu<strong>lt</strong>ivator<br />
and the Excelent sowing machine and could thus provide our services<br />
to the neighbours.
