Picture 1: Russian farm machinery company Rostselmash had this self-propelled silage harvester on show. The harvester is powered by a 380hp engine, comes with a fully hydrostatic transmission and, for the show, was fitted with a Kemper-style rotary header.
Picture 2: New Holland had this prototype I40 tractor on display, but it was mounted too high for closer investigation. There was little available on the New Holland stand in terms of information, except that there would be more news in the future.
Picture 3: Basak has upgraded the bodywork and has a new cab for the newer design 90hp BE90 model, in an effort to modernise the range.
Picture 4: The Solus range, manufactured by Sonalika in India, was on show. It is a range we can expect to soon see in Ireland, but with a cab. This 75hp model uses a Bosch fuel system and is rated as a Euro Stage III engine for compliance purposes. It has a 12 forward and 12 reverse speed gearbox and an economy pto drive option.
Picture 5: The Erkunt tractor range will soon be sold in Ireland. This newly-styled 100hp model uses a 4.4-litre Perkins 1104D turbo-diesel engine, rated at 102hp and has 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds, with a full electro-hydraulic three-point linkage control system.
Picture 6: The Chinese LS tractor company had some larger-powered tractors at the Konya show. These included a new 97hp tractor, powered by an Iveco turbo-diesel engine. The LS Plus 100 has a power shuttle and powershift gearbox with 40 forward and 20 reverse speeds.
Picture 7: This Harmak chopper square baler was fascinating and something we don’t see in Ireland. The machines are offered with three knotters to tie the chopped bale.
The Turkish tractor market is interesting because it’s huge, with sales of 60,000 tractors per year.
Small tractors dominate the market, with average powers of closer to 70hp and growing. New Holland is the market leader, with Tumosan in second place.
Turkey is now one of the leading tractor manufacturing countries in the world. There are a large number of tractor brands that are not yet available here in Ireland. Hattat and Tumosan are two tractor brands that we are only now getting familiar with, but for Turkish farmers, where average farm sizes are small, there is a wider selection on offer.
