Owners’ Experience
Kusowo Agricultural Company, Poland
1 050 ha
Mr. Stanisław Paprocki (on the left), Chairman
Our company was established after transformation of the former Kusowo
Agricultural Works in 1989, which used to be the largest agricultural
company in the territory of the former Bydgoszcs province. At present, we
cultivate 1,050 hectaers. The machinery included large as well as quite
modern machines.
In mid-90s, we had to purchase new machines for soil cultivation. In 1996
we decided to buy the GX 300 N share breaker-up by Farmet with regard
to the experience of other satisfi ed users and in 1998 we bought the
Kompaktomat K 600 PS presowing combinator. As a signifi cant producer
of sugar beet, we thus acquired a reliable machine that enables us to work
in the depth of 1 – 2 cm and that can be also used for cultivating fi elds
with rape, cereals or corn.
We appreciated the reasonable purchase price of the machine as well as
the off er of spare parts. The 3-year guarantee provided by our dealer from
Bydgoszcz was a signifi cant incentive.
After using the machine for several years, I have to recognize the high
quality of the Farmet machines as well as their low operating costs. The
proof of the long lifespan and of our satisfaction is the fact that we have
not replaced the GX 300 N plough-harrow for the larger GX 460 NS after
9 years and Kompaktomat K 600 PS for the newer K 600 PS after 12 years.
We received the 3-year guarantee for the new machines from our
dealer again and he also bought out the older machines from us for a very
good price.
