“A fantastic finish”
In addition to the good experience gained from their existing AMAZONE machinery and a previous Vogel & Noot plough, the choice of plough body convinced the owners of Düfelsiek Farm to buy a Cayros XMS V. They were not disappointed. On the contrary. “The Cayros has always ploughed exceptionally well and leaves a fantastic finish on our farm, even when directly incorporating the harvest residues after grain maize (without any pre-mulching)”, said the operations manager. In his
opinion, this is particularly due to the “great share”. Another factor, according to their operations manager, is the extremely good furrow clearance of the plough body, which enables ploughing with 710 section tyres. The easy pulling of the plough also makes its use extremely economical. The day to day work is lightened by the easy adjustment of the Cayros. “I can send any of my workers out with this machine,” the operations manager adds.
