Triolent TX 300 N
Owners’ Experience
In summer 2009, we tested the Terrano cultivators by Horsch and Triolent
by Farmet in our company. We evaluated the practical results of soil
processing by both machines as comparable and of the same quality. We
decided for the Farmet Company on the basis of our experience with two
machines of the same make as well as due to the fact that it is a Czech
product and due to the off ering price.
At present, we cultivate 400 hectares of arable land out of the total 770
hectares. We purchased the Triolent TX 300 N machine in September 2010,
equipped with a rear double roller. We have processed 95 hectares so far.
In spring, we are planning to use the machine for the preparation of about
10 hectares in an erosion-protected zone and then for other areas before
sowing rape and cereals, which we process up to the depth of 17 cm
at regular working speed.
Triolent is the third machine by Farmet we have bought. The fi rst one was
the G 300 N share breaker-up. Due to the rocky land we had to equip
the machine with an automatic share spring protection after fi ve years,
which upgraded the machine to GX 300 N.
The need for creating a higher quality seedbed forced us to purchase the
Kompaktomat K 450 PS I/A presowing combinator. We have owned
it since 2007 and we are now planning to add other equipment to it:
the rear additional cross-kill roller, which is better for disintegrating
the dry ploughed-up autumn soil.
