Expovicaman opened its doors to celebrate a new edition on its 40th anniversary following its last edition in 2019. Notably, this year saw a change of location to the Albacete fairgrounds, which is a much more appealing venue, on our oppinion, it has been a really good choice as it's a much nicer place. Many visitors seemed to think they were at the Albacete Fair (held in early September) rather than at the agricultural machinery and livestock fair, as the bar area was noticeably busier than the tractor and implement area. Nevertheless, we enjoyed both the farm fair and the new location.
The farm fair largely followed the same format as previous editions, with a strong presence from tractor dealers and regional implement manufacturers showcasing their new products. It's always interesting to see the different manufacturing details that each company incorporates into their machines.
If there are a few things to highlight, they could be the following:
- Tractor Dealers:
- Increasingly large tractor dealers, such as Avanterra (John Deere), Tajada-Barrio (CNH), Agrotrac (SDF) and Tractoralba (JCB), Agrocampo (Fendt and MF).
- Fendt stand attracting more and more visitors.
- Deutz-Fahr stands out for its wide range of options in medium horsepower tractors: 5 Series, 6C Series and 6.4 Series.
- Argo Tractors is gradually carving out a niche for itself.
- Kubota and Massey Ferguson had a minimal presence.
- In terms of implements:
- Ovlac remains the leader. The manufacturing details shown on the Xlander cultivator are unmatched by any other machine at the fair.
- Local manufacturers are increasingly focusing on woody crop implements.
- Industrially manufactured implements are a step ahead of "traditionally" manufactured ones. Ovlac, Gaher Metalic, TMC Cancela, Amazone, Kuhn, etc. are much better "made".
- The stands of Aperos J. Quílez, García Hoyos and Lasertiz were very interesting.
We’ve included some videos we made at the Agrotrac and Tractor Alba stands and invite you to view our photos, which provide a good summary of what was exhibited.
