Agriculture in Russia is developing. The main problem in rural areas is the lack of personnel. As for modern technology, it exists, and in large quantities. Private enterprises have long realized that in a competitive environment, the one who can do the job faster will win. He will plant seeds while the weather is good, apply fertilizers, and harvest. And the more powerful and diverse the technology, the better.
Should we give preference to foreign tractors, combines and trucks? There is no point in using equipment from famous brands to transport crops. You have to work in the countryside, you never know, it will fail. And where can I look for conditional parts on MAN? It's better to take KamAZ. It may break more often, but there are parts. And domestic equipment is adapted for difficult operating conditions. The “foreigner” simply cannot stand the lack of roads; he needs asphalt, preferably good one. The situation is approximately the same with tractors. There are world leaders in the industry that produce specific machines that do not have full-fledged analogues. Take the huge AMAZONE DMC 12001 seeder, which will be discussed on the LandTech channel. This technique will allow you to quickly complete the work. And in agriculture this is important - you can be the first to harvest the crop and sell it at a higher price while the market is not oversaturated.
