With an unprecedented technical deployment and a 40-hectare property converted into the technological epicenter of the sector, the dynamics of forage machinery was the closing of ExpoAlfa Centro in the city of Villa María.
With a hot day, three hours of irons that allowed us to know in detail the operation of each machine, and it was also possible to see not only the irons in action but also solve problems, the real problems that happen in the field while various tasks are carried out with machinery and the camaraderie of the rest of the brands to collaborate in solving the problem.
After the talks, for the closing there was the possibility of seeing the “irons in action” working in real time on the lot. Mowers, rakes, baling and rotary baling, manipulators, a roll wrapper and a drone are what could be evaluated first-hand: speed, cutting precision and operational efficiency.
Intelligent innovation and precision in the field
This year’s dynamics made it clear that livestock farming and precision agriculture go hand in hand. Among the aspects most commented on and valued by the public, the following stood out:
The demonstrations allowed us to see how AI applied to forage machines optimizes operational performance, adjusting variables instantly according to crop and lot conditions.
Technologies focused on maximizing nutritional quality allowed us to show an alternative for those who constantly seek to reduce losses and raise export standards.
The beginning of the day was with the cutting and there was a significant number of mowers that allowed the market alternatives to be shown. Firstly, Massey Ferguson and the Agro GM dealership tested a WR235 self-propelled mower and a center draft mower, model MC 1376.
Then it was the turn of John Deere, with the Agrotechnology Sala dealership, with a C400 mower. On this occasion it was also possible to see what can happen while working in real time. A bolt on the lance broke and all colleagues quickly made themselves available to try to solve the problem (demonstrating camaraderie and good relationship), which allowed us to show the operation and performance of the machine.
From the Gauss dealership they launched a Krone TC500, while YOMEL presented the Moscato 3770.
From Mojón Uno, together with Kubota, they presented a DMC 8536 R model mower with merger, while Mainero, with its dealer Cristante Hermanos, showed the operation of the Bora 360.
The Craisa Agritech firm representing SIP in Argentina showed a Silver Cut disc R 340 S RRC and a Silver Cut Disc HD 1500 T RRC.
Once the alfalfa is cut, it is time to rake. There the proposal was also varied. From Massey Ferguson they showed an RK 1002 TRC PRO rake, while Craisa Agritech presented a SIP Star R 930 28T.
From Entre Rios, Gauss put his Krone TC 880 to the test while Mainero showed his Maschio Gaspardo model rake
After this cutting and raking process, when the climate, humidity and conditions are optimal, it begins to be made. In that sense, Bertone made prismatic bales with his baler.
And then the round baler show with a Magna 940 25 from Yomel, while Cristante Hermanos with the help of Mainero presented the model 5834, Massey Ferguson the RB 41800, from Gauss they were present with a Krone Varipack V190 and John Deere through the Sala Dealership the model 461 R.
Here we worked so that all the rotos come out at the same time, collect material for a roll and can release it all together in front of the public.
At the end, Yomel showed its MistraL 680 for haylage, Toolkin with Casa del Tambo put into motion an LGMG HA735 manipulator that loaded rolls to an Anderson continuous wrapper distributed in Italy.
To close, NFM Agrosoluciones and Agromass launched a DJI Agras T100 drone that made it possible to map the area, and perform a flight simulating an application.
