"RoGator 618 with Inuma sprayersystem"
 

Since 1994 our company Altenburg-Waldenburg e.G. Agroservice is doing business with Ag-Chem Europe BV. The first machine was a Terra-Gator 1703. The machine was bought for the distribution of Carbo lime. Making a decision for, even in that time, a very specialised machine was not without any risks. But afterwards one can say we made the right decision. Through it's high performance, robustness and high speeds the machine operates very well until now. The machine has 7400 hours on the clock now and did an average of 1000 hours per year.

In May 1997 we decided, in consult with Ag-Chem Europe, to expand the 1703 with a combination of GPS and a Falcon-controller. This combination gave us the opportunity to spread our products site-specific. Already we had a good relation with AUA Jenna, with SGIS-software also a client of Ag-Chem.

In January 1998 we started of with injecting manure for our customers. Therefore we bought a Terra-Gator 2205, 5 wheeler and a year later a Terra-Gator 3104.
With both machines we inject appr. 170.000 m3 manure per year.
Less down time, low fuel consumption and low services costs confirmed that we made the right decision and strengthen our confidence in the company Ag-Chem Europe BV.
We have traded the five-wheeler in at Ag-Chem for a Terra Gator 3104, four wheeler, with dogwalk.
The higher capacity and reliability of the Ag-Chem machines compensate the price-difference with other machines in the market. Calculating in costs per ha or m2 you will see that they are even cheaper.
Besides the high technical performances of the 5 machines from Ag-Chem Europe, the co-operation with the their salespeople and service-engineers is very pleasant.

We must say that the co-operation with Ag-Chem had/has a positive effects on the development of our company and activities. Last year we decided to invest in two RoGators with Inumasystem.

The performance of these machines made us decide to buy another RoGator. To expand the flexibility, the machine is equipped with a Bredal spreader change system and GPS.
The perfect co-operation between Inuma, Ag-Chem Europe and our company, convinces us that we choose the best solution in crop-protection for our company and our customers.
