The Ultrafex at Ljubljana Moor

The farm is owned by Aleš Tancek, who took it over from his father Jože two years ago. Aleš grew up on the farm and developed a passion for agriculture. He knows all about farm work and machines. But the family still makes all important decisions together, and family ties are one of the most important factors in the development of the business. Year by year the amount of land under cultivation has grown, and is currently 110 hectares. Thus, the small farm that Jože inherited has turned into a medium-size agricultural operation. Grain is grown is grown on half of the land, mostly maize but also wheat and barley. The other half is used for silage and grazing. In addition to the fields, Tancek has about 130 head of cattle, primarily various breeds of steers, most of which he sells to farming cooperatives.

At the Tancek farm they were looking for a do-it-all machine that would kill two birds with one stone, and found it in the Ultrafex universal spreader. “At first we had looked at the Megafex. But it was bigger than we needed, and too big for our tractor. At the same time the medium-size Superfex was going to be too small in the long run. Then we learned that at the turn of the year a new series was coming out that was right between them – the Ultrafex universal spreader, that would have all the functions of the top class plus the option of a retrofit silage tailgate,” said Aleš Tancek. His father Jože added, “We’ve known their products for a long time. We have three standard trailers and an old Tehnostroj spreader from 1986 that still does a great job. Personal contact with the salespeople, a visit to the company in Ljutomer, and their presentation of specific solutions for our needs and capabilities all made our decision to buy very easy.”
