"Since I use the AVR storeloader I have a time gain of 40%"
Description
In september 2018, Canadian farmer Francis swapped his old machinery for a brand new AVR storage line, including the Falcon 24-45 reception hopper, twin conveyor and the Cobra 8019 storeloader.
Since we are a Belgian company, we thought it would be very interesting to hear how our machinery is used across the ocean, so here is our little talk with Francis:
"Hello Francis, What is your overall user experience about the AVR crop handling machinery?
Just wonderfull. The machines are very easy to use and we had no problems during storing whatsoever. Before, I used simple conveyors to do the storing, but I realised I needed machinery to work more efficiently. Time is money you know.
So I looked up some information and started comparing. I learned AVR overtook Climax - a well established European brand with good reputation in Québec - and that they redesigned all machinery with state-of-the-art technology.
Mathieu, my contactperson within dealer Riego, helped me a lot in my decesion-making-process. Besides giving good advice, Riego is also a thrustworthy partner concerning after-sales-service. They helped setting up the storage line for the first time, so I was off for a good start.
What is the biggest advantage of the Cobra storeloader?
Its length. With 19 meters it surpasses a long distance. Since I use this AVR storeloader I have a time gain of no less than 40%! For example, instead of doing the storing in 4 days, I now only need 2,5 days. A massive profit. That is what I call a true return on investment.
What feature of the Cobra do you like the most?
For me that is most definetely the fact that it can move by itself, by using the remote control: up-down, left-right, and even drive to another location, very efficient!."
