FAUNAMASTER – A GREAT LITTLE MACHINE
The farmer can Aage Holst Pedersen from Kongerslev, Himmerland, who would definitely vouch for it. On his farm, it's attached to an ATV, and then it's ready to handle various tasks.
Aage sat and looked at Facebook for a bit, when he first came across a presentation of a Faunamaster seed drill.
“I just saw it and thought, I have to have it. It can do everything.” "smiles Aage Holst Pedersen.",.
Many different tasks
He quickly states that it at least covers his needs – and then some.
A tour around the company shows how many places Faunamaster has been a valuable tool for Aage. In the very last meter of the fields, towards the road, is sown Faunastriber, and it is a great pleasure for the many passersby in the neighborhood.
“I've heard many say that you just get so happy when you drive by and see it.” Siger Aage Holst Pedersen.
Before the fauna strips, it is also Faunamaster that has been used to sow a number of corn crops – and both fauna strips and corn are of great benefit to the area's animals and insects. Faunamaster turned out to be also a indispensable tool, as the large seeder suddenly failed.
“I used it to sow about half a hectare in the wheat field because there were problems with the large seed drill. And I have to say, sowing from an ATV is a completely different experience than from a tractor.” Siger Aage Holst Pedersen.
In short, the North Jutland farmer Faunamaster very much.
ARRIVING EVERYWHERE
Besides the ability to sow so many different kinds of seeds, Aage Holst Pedersen highlights the compact size as a major advantage for farmers in particular.
“It can get to places where I can't drive a tractor. Especially some of the low-lying areas, which I have quite a bit of. I also lent it to a friend who had to sow in clay soil, which wasn't possible with the tractor. It was simply too soft, and the Faunamaster was perfect for that.” Aage says.
Small machines are on the rise
Aage has today chosen to focus 100 percent in crop production, and partly for that reason the Faunamaster seed drill became an interesting tool. He's only had the machine for about a year, but it has already been of great benefit to the operation.
“I've been very satisfied with it, and it's also really easy to adjust. I've also used the included size chart, which has been a great help.” sighed Aage and continues: “It's a small ingenious machine because it has everything you need for agriculture.”
Even though tractors and other large machinery are also needed Agricultural machinery In the daily operation of the 225 hectares of land that Aage manages, he is very impressed with the small machines.
“You can do a lot with the small machines available today, and it's also much more economical to operate them. Small machines are becoming increasingly interesting – also in the future.” Siger Aage Holst Pedersen.
