Under the current conditions, the purchase of Kherson grain harvesters looks more promising than the purchase of foreign agricultural machinery. Moreover, both in terms of cost and in terms of further operation.
The debate about which agricultural equipment is better to buy, domestic or imported, does not subside until now. While some are breaking lances in disputes, others are working and producing domestic grain harvesters of high performance that meet international standards. We are talking about the Kherson Machine-Building Plant, the only manufacturer of sophisticated agricultural machinery in Ukraine.
The plant's products are well known in the CIS. At the moment, KhMZ , together with the Ministry of Industrial Policy, participates in the state program for the development of the domestic combine harvester industry. The implementation of the program is designed for 2012-2016, and according to its results in Ukraine by 2017 at least one and a half thousand combine harvesters should be produced per year.
Already today the plant can offer agrarians a self-propelled SKIF harvester , available in four versions. It is intended for harvesting ear and grain crops, and with special devices it can be used for harvesting legumes, oilseeds, cereals, grain corn, sunflower, rapeseed, etc. Two more modifications of the SKIF combine are currently under testing. Their serial production is scheduled for 2013-2015.
By the way, "SKIF" has shown itself to be excellent during the 2012 summer season in Ukraine. Experts noted the unique ability of KhMZ machinery to collect literally every spikelet, every grain, which allows minimizing yield losses. As you know, the annual loss of grain in Ukraine, associated with the imperfection of agricultural machinery, amount to 7-10 million tons.
In addition to the agricultural machinery of the above model, the Kherson Machine-Building Plant produces grain harvesters "Slavutich", headers for harvesting corn, grain crops, sunflowers, platform pickers, etc. Farmers are given the opportunity to purchase combines and headers on credit on favorable terms ... For agricultural enterprises of the Kherson region there is a special offer for the purchase of "Slavutich" combines with a 15% discount.
In the current conditions, the purchase of Kherson grain harvesters looks more promising than the purchase of foreign agricultural machinery. Moreover, both from the standpoint of cost and from the point of view of further operation. Each customer is provided with a full service package for warranty and post-warranty service.
