Choosing high-quality agricultural machinery is the key to high productivity and cost reduction

High-quality agricultural machinery will allow you to get a good harvest and high profit. The company «Hydromarket» has gathered the most interesting information to help you choose only the highest quality equipment.

Traditionally, Ukraine is considered an agricultural country where various agricultural sectors are well developed. Farming has always been respected here, as this work is quite difficult, and the result, that is, the harvest, largely depends on weather conditions. Reducing risks, increasing yield, and guaranteeing a good result every year, as well as significantly speeding up and simplifying technological operations, is helped by various agricultural machinery. A lot depends on the quality of machines and their performance, therefore it is necessary to choose them very carefully, preferably together with an expert.

Tractor — main agricultural machinery

Farmers and households engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry use various technical means, which can be: depending on the functions performed — specialized and universal, and depending on the type of movement — stationary, self-propelled, and attachable.
The main agricultural machine is the tractor — a universal self-propelled machine capable of using various attached equipment to perform all kinds of technological operations. This equipment differs by such parameters as:

• dimensions and weight (distinguish mini tractors, light, medium, and heavy machines, mowers);
• type and power of the engine;
• wheel configuration;
• coefficient of useful performance, productivity;
• type of hydraulic system;
• resource consumption per hour of operation;
• comfort of the operator's workplace;
• type of braking system;
• compatibility with different equipment.

Manufacturer — another important parameter, as the manufacturer determines the capabilities of the equipment, its cost, warranty period, service life, volume of work performed, etc. On the market, machines from domestic and foreign companies are offered, designed for processing both large areas and small plots.

Variety of agricultural machinery

In addition to tractors, farmers use other equipment, the range of which is very wide. This includes:

• separators, which clean grain, separate liquids and solid mixtures, increase the concentration of solid matter;
• fertilizer spreaders — trailer and hitch-mounted aggregates for applying organic fertilizers in various forms to the soil;
• feed grinders and grain crushers — devices for preparing feed for domestic animals and poultry from plants, root crops, cereal crops;
• seeding complexes — multifunctional aggregates that perform several operations in one pass (cultivation, fertilizer application, sowing seeds) and hydroseeding units;
• soil preparation equipment — equipment that allows performing pre-sowing soil preparation, crop care, and harvest (cultivators, deep tillers, plows, harrows, disk harrows);
• grain harvesting equipment — combines, reapers, mowers;
• grain conveyors — machines for transporting and loading cereal crops;
• seed treatment equipment — aggregates for preparing planting material before sowing into the ground;
• aggregates for transporting water and liquids
• loaders, hydraulic booms;
• transfer bulk storage bins and others.

All these machines have special construction, varieties, and technical parameters. They are produced by different companies, so compatibility with towing equipment (for trailer and hitch-mounted aggregates) and cost may vary significantly.

Features of choosing agricultural machinery

Choosing high-quality agricultural machinery is quite complex, as you need to consider first of all the technical characteristics of the equipment and the size of the sown areas. Important are the main technological operations that will be performed, as this affects the selection of specific aggregates and auxiliary tools.

You can find new and used equipment for sale, which is somewhat cheaper. Experts recommend choosing only new aggregates, as they will last longer, be serviced at authorized service centers within the warranty period, break down less often, and idle less (since their parts are not worn out or exhausted), and provide higher productivity with lower resource consumption. In addition, used items may have been previously serviced with low-quality fuels and lubricants, repaired with non-original parts, and subjected to overloading.

There is a lot of different equipment on the market, and unfortunately, not all of it is of high quality, and counterfeits are often encountered. If you wish to buy a reliable and long-lasting new aggregate, it is worth contacting a reputable seller who works closely with manufacturers, offers original products with all necessary documents (technical passport, conformity certificate, warranty card), and maintains a moderate pricing policy. It is important that their staff are well-versed in their products and can help the customer choose the optimal option. Such a store is "Hydromarket", which stands out with a wide range of products to suit any taste and budget, has its own direct supply channels, competent consultants and service center staff, and delivery throughout Ukraine and abroad.
