I've bought a bit of Polish machinery , it's generally for the small farmer , I just made it do a bit more , build quality is better now and it's cheap £ / ha , if you're going for the bigger farmer a whole set of new issues will follow
I agree, as a small farmer pennies count so 4 years ago i bought a polish sprayer 12 metre boom new for less than £2000.00. British equivalent over £5000.00. It does the job.

Hi! From which Eastern Europe country are you?

I have Polish Jarmet sprayer, made in 2005. Metal is tired and breaks at welding points

I have Sipma straw chopper, spreader. Chain tensioners and the whole mechanism is made of weak metal, and bends. Also the spreader blocks easily and is not the best design.

Plenty of guys sell and also use Polish made machinery amd they are happy with it.

But never forget,that Poland is Europes China.
Born in Romania, my mother from Ukraine, this is how I ended up to understand Polish, slavic languages are similar.

In what respect? Don't see anything wrong with PL being Europe's China.

I purchased a Polish made sprayer................ I think mine was made first thing Monday morning after the Poles had been on the vodka all weekend !! :scratchhead:

Good enough after I had put all the pipes on the correct way, fixed the leaks and tightened up the nuts.


You might want to wait until Brexit is sorted........... we might not want your beef or machinery once we leave !!:rolleyes: :whistle:
When we leave, plenty of quality beef and chicken will be on its way from US. GMO fed. Btw, strong supporter for GMO crops, seen soya in Ukraine, very impressive.

I don't have any experience with Polish machinery (just Polish workers who are mostly excellent!).

However, you might not find that this forum is not good for feedback. I do enjoy being on TFF, but the majority of farmers who post here are arable / livestock / mixed. Most of this machinery would be sold to horticulture farmers in Kent / Herefordshire / Lincolnshire.

- not a criticism of the forum; just an observation.
The machinery I have in mind is mostly for arable, besides the only experience I've got is arable. Thanks for your comment.
