EkoNivaSibir has showcased a wide range of machinery from a skid-steer loader to a plane at the largest trade fair in Siberia – the Siberian Field Day 2023. The company's booth featured over 20 units of cutting-edge farm and road-building equipment. Besides, EkoNiva-Semena presented 70 varieties of field crop seeds at the event.

This season, new brands constitute 70% of the dealer's portfolio, and the guests managed to have a closer look at them.

The highlight of EkoNivaSibir’s booth was LiuGong road-building machinery. This brand with a 65-year history is the flagship among construction equipment manufacturers in China and is in the world’s top 15 manufacturers. The range available at EkoNivaSibir includes crawler excavators, bulldozers, graders, road rollers, dump trucks and, of course, loaders.

The LiuGong 395B skid-steer loader is highly convenient for tackling farm tasks. The LiuGong 835H and LiuGong 856H Max front loaders are also a great help in agricultural and road construction works.

‘The front loaders are equipped with 68-220 hp engines and a 6.5 m³ bucket. They are cost-efficient, easy to maintain and reliable. Their components are made by the world's leading manufacturers: Cummins, Weichai, ZF, Rexroth, Kawasaki and others’, says Vasiliy Stepanov, Sales Manager at EkoNivaSibir.

The LiuGong 395B loader with the maximum lifting capacity of 1,133 kg a breakout force of 32.6 kN is the most powerful model in the range. The standard bucket is the largest in the series – 0.6 m³. The LiuGong 395B is fitted with the 4-cylinder turbocharged and water-cooled Perkins engine.

‘We are fully prepared to carry out the repair and maintenance of LiuGong machines. The spare parts warehouses are stocked, and our sales representatives and service technicians have received the proper training to professionally and promptly handle problems 24 hours per day, 7 days per week’, emphasises Vasiliy Stepanov.

In the tractor segment, the dealer offered an all-new solution – the Chinese model Ensign YX2404-N. The YN Series presents powerful, reliable and high-performance machines for a wide range of agricultural works. This tractor is fitted with the Shangchai/CN III engine with a capacity of 240 hp and the transmission having 16 forward and 16 reverse gears. The model also features a heavy-duty clutch with a 15-inch disc delivering high torque and enhancing gear shifting efficiency. The machine can operate at low temperatures thanks to the transmission and hydraulic system radiators. The adjustable rear towing device is suitable for various farm implements and trailers.

‘Currently, over 150 Ensign tractors operate at Russian enterprises. Based on the feedback from the farmers, we suggest that the machines are likely to gain a high position in the domestic market’, says Vasiliy Stepanov.

The Turkish holding Sanko Makina, a manufacturer of MST telescopic loaders, has become a partner of EkoNivaSibir this year. It is a subsidiary of SANKO Group which exports road-building machinery to over 20 countries around the world. The production volume currently exceeds 5,000 units per year.

‘Today, we are showcasing the MST 9.42 telehandler equipped with European and North American components. At the heart of the machine is the British-made Perkins 125 hp engine, the axles are supplied by the American company Dana Spicer, and the hydraulics are of the German brand Bucher. The maximum lifting capacity is four tonnes and the boom length is nine metres. In terms of functionality, manoeuvrability and performance, these telescopic loaders are as good as their European counterparts’, points out Vasiliy Stepanov.

Since this year, the Brazilian self-propelled sprayers PVT have become available to Siberian farmers. EkoNivaSibir offers two models – the PVT Rhino 4003 and PVT Rhino 4004. The sprayers have tank capacities of three and four cubic metres and boom lengths of 32 and 36 metres respectively. The machines are equipped with 6-cylinder 220 hp engines, four-wheel drive and the SmartFloat boom stability control system. In Brazil, these sprayers compete successfully with others in their segment, and now it is time to hit the Russian market.

An exciting part of the Field Day was the demo show of the SP-30 plane designed for field monitoring and aerial application of chemicals. The farmers interested in aviation equipment enjoyed the opportunity to take a flight with an experienced pilot and see the aircraft in action. The SP-30 carries up to 160 kg of payload. Its capacity makes for covering more than 1,000 hectares per day without access to a ground filling station. The distance can be doubled subject to the station availability. Besides, a 100-metre stretch of unprepared surface is sufficient for take-offs and landings.

‘We are constantly expanding our portfolio. Now, our customers can opt for 40 brands from South America, Asia, Europe and, of course, Russia. Farmers are offered solutions for doing any agricultural task both on the ground and in the sky’, says Gennadiy Nepomnyashchiy, Commercial Director of EkoNivaTekhnika-Holding.

EkoNiva-Semena has been working closely with Altai crop growers for over ten years, offering them seeds with high yield potential. During the trade fair, the specialists showcased the seeds of 70 field crop varieties, including those of the in-house breeding.

‘Due to the diversity of soil and climatic zones, our entire product range is in demand in Altai area. Licamero, Cornetto, Toccata and Kanyuk wheats are very popular here, producing good yields of up to 8 t/ha’, notes Valentina Sarayeva, Senior Sales Rep at EkoNiva-Semena.

EkoNiva’s participation in the Siberian Field Day 2023 resulted in concluding contracts and preliminary agreements for the supply of various farm and road-building machines, as well as field crop seeds.
