"Product progress for sure; we are contented"
From 2001, Agrar GmbH Lichterfelde - Golzow have been using the Splendimo Triplo 801 C combination for mowing their 800 hectares approx. of grassland. All material harvested from the grassland is processed as silage and hay, which is fed as roughage to the 400 milk cows, 300 breeding cows and 200 bulls. In total, the farm includes 2,000 hectares of land, on which - in addition to forage - cereals and maize are grown.
In the spring of 2007, operator Jörg Haarbach used a Splendimo 900 MC mower combination with a working width of close to 9 metres as a demonstration machine over a number of days. This demo machine was made available by the farm's dealer, Meyer Landtechnik in Lichtgerfelde - Buckow. Throughout the operation of this machine combination, Jörg did not fail to notice a number of features that clearly set the new Splendimo 900 MC mower combination apart from the Triplo 801 C that he had used before. "Despite the fact that the 900 MC unit works one metre wider, its weight is significantly less. This means that the wetter fields can be dealt with earlier in springtime, in addition to the fact that the machine allows easier manoeuvring in the field." The simpler construction with fewer gearboxes and drive shafts means less need for, and reduced costs of maintenance and servicing. The Splendimo Clip quick knife change system - fitted as standard on the machine - means a major step forward as compared to the previous knife fixation. Despite the fact that the knives can be exchanged considerably easier and faster - pretty significant when all 48 knives of the combination need to be changed - the knife fixation is still as reliable as ever. The built-in stops for raising the cutter units on headlands provide increased ground clearance to the Splendimo 900 MC, which is also favourable when it comes to manoeuvring.
Agrar GmbH Lichterfelde - Golzow also operate two Splendimo 320 T mowers for their smaller fields. Tedding of the crops is done by a Lotus 675 Stabilo tedder, while a Hibiscus rake 735 Vario is used to rake the crop together; for harvesting they use a forage harvester or a Welger RP 220 or 235 round baler. Between them, the two Welger round balers turn out a total of 10,000 round bales a year.
