WINTERSTEIGER had invited guests to come to the Precision Days 2011 from 24 - 26 May; this took place in wonderful summer weather at the company's headquarters in Ried. The large number of guests could see for themselves the compelling quality of the new precision spaced planter Dynamic Disc.
August Wimmer is the new area sales manager for North and Central Europe. He takes over for Gerhard Plöckinger, who in turn will bring his long experience as a WINTERSTEIGER technician to bear in the SEEDMECH customer service.
Good news from our Russian subsidiary: after tough economic times, the long collaboration with the Institute for Agricultural Mechanization (VIM) in Russia has now borne fruit. Altogether 5 plot combine machines Classic as well as 3 plot seeder machines and some laboratory equipment will be delivered to various stations of the Russian Agricultural Academy. A great success for our Russian subsidiary "OOO" WINTERSTEIGER.
Field trials for maize and soya under realistic conditions.
Anyone investing long-term in the field trials technology sector wants to play safe and be able to rely on maximum security of their investment. The machines, systems and tools must therefore be state-of-the-art and meet the most varied demands of agricultural field experimentation. For this reason, there is an opportunity to see the market leader's innovative strength for yourself at the WINTERSTEIGER "Precision Days 2011" from 24 to 26 May. We will present state-of-the-art technology for planting and harvesting of maize and soybean plots at our company headquarters in Ried im Innkreis (Austria). Don't miss it!
Anyone wanting to respond flexibly and with high manufacturing quality to customer requests cannot afford to stand still given the ongoing development of state-of-the-art production processes. As the worldwide number one in field trials technology, WINTERSTEIGER is once again one step ahead on precisely this point. It concentrated in 2010 on taking a new look at inter- and inner-organizational processes and transferring them to a more flexible production system. The result: WINTERSTEIGER produces just-in-time! And you benefit from this because it is now possible to respond better and faster to specific customer requests due to an assembly process that relates exclusively to customer orders.
Successful launch of the new service center in the Netherlands.
Excellent products and a first-class after-sales service are two key constants in WINTERSTEIGER's success story. They are decisive factors for its leading position in the international market for field research equipment. In December 2010, WINTERSTEIGER started a new chapter in service on the opening of a new service center in the Dutch town of Werkendam. Quite a few customers have already made use of the new center to have a variety of service and repair work carried out.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Valued Customers!
As Head of SEEDMECH Division, I have been responsible for the global activities of WINTERSTEIGER AG in the agricultural field experimentation sector since November 2010.
Our customers' requirements regarding a plot seeder for field experimentation generally vary considerably. In many areas this is just the nature of things. A wide variety of soils and soil cultivation systems require different openers. Trials extend from quite simple yield experiments to complex trials such as experiments for crop protection products that are applied at the same time as planting or experiments on different row spacings and/or placement depths. Thanks to over 55 years of experience in field trials technology, WINTERSTEIGER can provide a plot seeder that is perfectly matched to your requirements for all these cases - whether for drill sowing or precision spaced planting.
In November 2010, under the banner "Impressions from more than 100 countries around the world", we invited submissions for an international photography competition for the SEEDMECH calendar 2012. We invited you to send us your most beautiful photos of plots. We were inundated with fascinating photos from all over the world. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all very much for taking part.
Impressions from more than 100 countries around the world: WINTERSTEIGER invites its customers to take part in an international photography competition for its new calendar. Send us your most beautiful plot photos. A draw will be made from among the images selected with an Apple iPad as the prize.
The time is ripe: the harvest and sowing season is over in many places and the past season is still fresh in our minds. Just the right time, therefore, to have your machine maintained by a professional so that it is in perfect shape in time for the new season. For only a professionally-maintained machine will guarantee you many years of trouble-free performance.
In addition to the existing version as a twin-axle chassis, the Classic ST stationary combine can now also be supplied as a car trailer version with tandem axle.
The Crop Spider plot separator provoked an enthusiastic response in its very first season: even extremely tall species of rape as well as rye and other cultures are now divided effortlessly using the new machine.
The time-tested WINTERSTEIGER harvest data collection technology well-known from combines is now also available in a stationary version. To do this the Classic Grain Gage harvest data collection system was fitted with a chassis to make it mobile. The system is positioned securely with a parking brake.
Five countries, eleven days, 20 machines: some 200 customers put practice to the test at WINTERSTEIGER's international field days and tested plot combines, plot seeders and laboratory equipment. More than 20 machines were shipped on five trucks and transported to the individual stations in Europe where it was possible to test under actual conditions. The WINTERSTEIGER road show then toured the length and breadth of Europe from the middle of June to the middle of July.
What's the best way of convincing yourself about a machine used in field research?
By testing it yourself in practice, of course!
It is for this very reason that WINTERSTEIGER is running the Field Days Tour 2010 which we cordially invite you to attend. Here you will have the opportunity to find out everything you ever wanted to know about WINTERSTEIGER and its products. Several hundred plots are being prepared for this purpose.
In this version of the Classic plot combine, the crop is bagged by a second person at the top next to the driver's platform.
The Delta plot combine may also be fitted with large-diameter tyres (1047 mm) on request.
No-till is becoming increasingly important in conventional agriculture. WINTERSTEIGER now offers the appropriate equipment for plot seeders for both precision planting and plot sowing.
You will find a large number of used components and machines on our website. All the items offered have been assessed by our service team and are in very good usable condition.
The 2 - 8 row precision spaced planter Dynamic Disc is the high performance seeder for maximum output. The new developed slotted disc system enables maximum sowing speed with high precision.
Powerful yet at the same time gentle dividing. The Crop Spider plot divider has been developed specially to divide rape plots gently and efficiently. The machine can also be used as a swath mower.
The conveyor belt for the Delta has been developed to store samples even more efficiently on the plot combine and thus to reduce undesirable stops.
Machines by WINTERSTEIGER and HEGE are renowned the world over for their leading technological position, first-class quality and outstanding reliability.
Enhanced development of the Split was and still is an important project for the WINTERSTEIGER company. The main consideration here is to use it for harvesting two plots in a single pass, not just maize and soya (as already used successfully for years) but also important cultures such as rape or cereals, and to develop it on an ongoing basis.
Record orders for Ried's special machine constructor: Year gets off to good start as Upper Austria-based Wintersteiger AG records highest volume of orders in company's history thanks to large number of contracts in Seedmech Division.
Ried/Reichersberg.

3-division policy helps in the difficult financial year 2009
We fitted an automatic steering system to a Kubota L5240 (adapted by WINTERSTEIGER) / WINTERSTEIGER Plotseed S seed drill machine combination for sowing in the fall of 2008.
The Split is a specially developed plot combine for harvesting two plots in a single sweep. This machine offers the performance of a field combine while fulfilling the strict requirements of plot harvesting. In practical applications a cycle time of between 12 and 15 seconds is achieved for 2 plots (including clean out and weighing). A performance of up to 450 plots per hour is achievabled for grain maize.
