At the Rural Show 2023, bet on the LS R50 and R65 tractors

LS Tractor highlights, at the Rural Coopavel 2023 Show, its R50 and R65 models. These are tractors that have excellent characteristics for working inside poultry farms. "Due to their origin, South Korea, where properties are small, LS tractors have special construction characteristics, they present excellent performance in reduced spaces, which is why our proposal to bring this solution to the poultry sector", highlights the manager of marketing and sales of LS Tractor, Astor Kilpp (see video above).

One of the important activities within the poultry house is dealing with chicken litter. Due to the bird's continuous contact with the compost (generally wood shavings), mechanized handling is essential to obtain the best quality for the environment in which a new batch will be placed. Avoiding the accumulation of humidity and temperature fluctuations that can affect weight gain and feed conversion of birds, this is the big detail that will make a difference, he points out Lianderson Backes, manager of Globalmac, LS Tractor dealership. He adds that the right management guarantees better health and productivity for the birds.

As Astor Kilpp says, the LS Tractor R50 or R65 models are ideal for this task, as the design of these compacts, in addition to the reduced dimensions, has a front axle with a smaller turning radius, a transmission equipped with a super reducer (Creeper), a Reversal Shutle Synchro (forward and reverse with agility/ease) with 32 forward and 16 reverse speed options. He also highlights the power take-off with three speeds (540E, 540SE, or 540SE), “excellent for when the tractor is going to work with a rotary hoe, for example”, highlights Kilpp, adding that “all of this results in higher quality of work".

For the marketing manager, the LS Tractor also has a quality that sets it apart in the market. The ideal height for indoor environments. “Without affecting versatility or work performance, the R50 or R65 models have wheel configuration options, for example, to make the tractor lower, allowing smooth work inside the poultry farm. So, it is a set of characteristics that allow the poultry farmer to look for a solution for mechanization, and have the best option in LS Tractor”, concludes Kilpp.

And Lianderson adds; “You cannot only take into account consumption/hour, but rather the work performed per hour”. As an argument, the manager cites the experience of an LS Tractor customer: “A day and a half's work on a property can be done in just three hours, with the correct tractor and equipment, such as a rotary hoe with a shredder. With the labor shortage, this is a phenomenal gain,” he says.
