The anniversary of the SVO allows us to draw some conclusions not only in the classic car segment for us, but also where the dependence on imported equipment
Agriculture is one of the cornerstones of any economy. You can create as many Silicon Valleys as you want, but without bread any startup dies quickly. When we realized this age-old truth, the February 24 name restrictions imposed against Russia were extremely focused on the agricultural sector.
So the legendary American company John Deere – that is, “over the fields, across the fields, a green tractor comes to us” – put a lock on warehouses and sheds, “making Russia even more aggressive than Renault with a pen.” The farmers who trusted her were left with nothing: the ordered equipment was not delivered, and the one that had already been bought was not ready for the season. It’s no secret that a tractor should not only be bought, but also maintained. It is in maintenance and repair that the key role of the distributor lies, which guarantees the customer: a lot of money paid will return to pursue stable work and high income.
This is a company where each acquisition has a fairly specific arithmetic, not an emotional predilection for a color palette. However, all farmers who invested in the purchase of imported equipment suffered the same. Half of the domestic tractor market is occupied by MTZ – dear “Belarus” and associates – but the remaining 50% is pure import. And all importers suddenly got a “black spot”. The domestic market consumes 24,000 tractors per year, so at least 12,000 attachments were missing. But the harvest is in, and what: the envy of the whole world!
It is possible and necessary to erect a monument to a village worker – with his hands, not thanks to, but in spite of such indicators being achieved. But one desire and hard work is not enough – you need technology. Of the four largest Russian importers, only one has succeeded – AGCO RM: a joint US-Russian company founded on an equal footing by the overseas AGCO, one of the world leaders in the production of agricultural machinery, and the GAZ Group, which has no introduction .
The Novyi Svet in Russian business was immediately “disappointed”, therefore it was necessary to pull the leash and fulfill the agreements concluded from “that very day” with one hand. More than 100,000 spare parts are needed per year alone, so the sleeves had to be rolled up immediately. However, they got the job done. Agco Machinery is now called Optitech Agro, retains all commitments – it sounds particularly uplifting and courageous these days – and will continue to service the previously supplied Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra equipment, remaining the sole exclusive representative of the brands in Russia.
However, there is a question: where to get new equipment? For understanding: the warranty for the tractor is 1500 engine/hours or 12 months. Simply put, only fresh and maintained equipment gives stable work in the field, there is simply no time to repair and sort it out. Especially during the season when you have to work fast. Traditionally, the Chinese will have to replace the “offended partners”: the Hanwo tractor brand is presented in Russia.
This is a large manufacturer, whose factory capacity allows to produce up to 50,000 products per year. Russian needs will be stably covered. There are four very different models in the dealer line today: a competitor from Belarus, a 90 or 110 hp Atlas, equipped with a 16×8 mechanical transmission, that is, sixteen forward gears and eight reverse. Slightly larger Alcor with 130 and 140 hp. Of. and a “box” 16×8, 165 and 185 hp Altair with a 16×16 transmission and the flagship Antares, producing 220, 240 and 260 hp. Of. in the version with “mechanics” 16×16 – the Chinese “seven”.
Prices – from 3,000,000 rubles for the “Atlas” and up to 11 million – for the large “Antares”. By comparison, John Deere asked for 19,000,000. It is expected that in the near future there will be tractors with automatic transmission – from now on, not a tractor driver in an oiled quilted jacket, but a “tractor operator” will sit behind the wheel of such complex and quite comfortable equipment !
Speaking of expectations. At the moment, Optitech Agro confirms that the first Hanwo have already arrived and a batch of 250 tractors is being loaded onto trains. The initial batch of spare parts and consumables has also arrived and the warehouse is being prepared for a large batch of new parts. The next stage of Russian-Chinese relations is localization, which will take place at the Galitsinsk bus plant, which is part of the GAZ group. The Chinese tractor will have to be labeled “Made in Russia”, so the level of localization must be extremely high.
It is expected that initially the place under the hood will be occupied by the Yaroslavl engine, and many components will be produced locally. This is necessary for three reasons: competition, costs and politics. The latter is also the basis for the installation of exclusively Russian systems for monitoring and determining geolocation, since there is no longer any confidence in imported analogues.
