Mr. József Maász, Manager
Our fi rm cultivates 600 hectares of soil and we provide agricultural services
on another 300 hectares every year. We need to cultivate these areas with
suffi ciently effi cient and reliable machines. Thus, we bought the Duolent
DX 300 N chisel cultivator in 2009. We operate this machine with a New
Holland TE 190 tractor, with the power suffi cient also for pulling Duolent
at a working speed of 8–10 km/h during deep cultivation as well (28–30 cm).
Deep cultivation is an important operation for us as our target is to
decrease the frequency of ploughing by using cultivators. Duolent has
fulfi lled our expectations and using the machine instead of a plough
allows us to reach double output (20–25 ha/8 hours) and decrease the fuel
consumption almost by 40 %!
Further advantages are the fi ne lump creation and the evenness of the soil
surface thanks to the levelling disks. We were surprised at Duolent’s very
good handling of a big amount of plant residues, its eff ectiveness
destroying large weeds and its great mixing eff ect without clogging the
space between the ploughshares.
I have to mention two further advantages of the Duolent machine: fi rstly
the spring security of shares, which allows continuous work even in hard
soil conditions and secondly the widia plates on the top shares which
have got an excellent wearing quality. Duolent is not the only one Farmet
machine we have – our fi rm has been operating the carried Kompaktomat
K 400 NS for ages with satisfaction.
