Evolution of Technologies at TAS Agro: BEDNAR VERSATILL Cultivators

09/22/2026
Large-scale agricultural production requires constant flexibility, as modern conditions force farmers to continuously adapt their technologies. TAS Agro operates 80,000 hectares of land across the Chernihiv, Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad regions. Its land bank encompasses a variety of soil types, while the company’s cropping structure includes wheat, rapeseed, corn, sunflower, flax and hemp.

According to Roman Borysovych Kuzmin, Technical Manager at TAS Agro, the company uses different technologies depending on the crop. However, its key approach is minimum tillage without soil inversion and a complete absence of ploughing. Within this intensive production system, the company operates a wide range of agricultural machinery, but at one stage, the versatile BEDNAR VERSATILL cultivators played a key role. Over time, these machines evolved and helped the company move forward in the development of its agricultural technologies.

What Is the BEDNAR VERSATILL VO_PROFI? The Manufacturer’s Perspective

The VERSATILL VO_PROFI cultivators are designed for shallow soil cultivation and surface tillage at depths of up to 15 cm. They are effective both after harvest, for rapid stubble cultivation and moisture conservation, and during spring or autumn seedbed preparation. Thanks to their design, the machines deliver high performance even in fields with large amounts of crop residue.

Design Features and Advantages

  • Multi-row tine arrangement: The working tines are positioned at a narrow spacing of 17 cm across six rows, ensuring complete overlap and intensive mixing of plant residues.
  • Flexible adjustment options with interchangeable working tools: The ability to use different types of chisels or sweeps makes it easy to adapt the implement to specific field operations.
  • Frame and integrated running gear: The lightweight yet robust frame, with a 56 cm ground clearance, combined with an integrated transport axle, provides excellent stability and manoeuvrability. This configuration also allows the machine to operate without rear rollers.
  • Additional equipment: For maximum efficiency, the machine can be equipped with front Trash Cutter cutting rollers, Crushbar levelling bars, as well as a wide range of rear rollers and harrow systems.

The VERSATILL VO_PROFI series of universal cultivators is designed for farmers looking for a reliable, high-performance and adaptable tool to optimise soil cultivation processes.

Experience at TAS Agro: A Pragmatic View from the Technical Manager

At TAS Agro, nine BEDNAR VERSATILL cultivators have been in operation for approximately three years. According to Technical Manager Roman Kuzmin, each machine cultivates around 6,000 hectares per year, with an average daily output of approximately 125 hectares.

When assessing the role of VERSATILL in the farm’s production system, Mr Kuzmin takes a pragmatic approach. For TAS Agro, the cultivator was once a transitional solution that made it possible to address several technological tasks at the same time:

“At the time when we purchased them, it was a compromise solution because we used both the chisel and the goose-foot share. We use them less now because we are not standing still; we are moving forward. Back then, it was a transitional stage: we needed to cultivate wheat stubble before sowing rapeseed and carry out seedbed preparation in the spring. It is a good compromise machine,” the interviewee explains.

At the same time, the fact that nine of these machines are still in operation at the farm, with high annual workloads, demonstrates their practical value. At the time, the versatility of VERSATILL was an important advantage, as the machine could be adapted to different operations and the specific needs of the farm.

The decision to choose BEDNAR was the result of a careful comparison of the solutions available on the market. According to the Technical Manager, there were relatively few universal machines of this type capable of combining different field operations:

“There simply were not that many universal compromise machines like this on the market. We compared them with other brands, and at that time we did not find any better disc-chisel machines of this type that would be suitable for seedbed preparation,” says Roman Kuzmin.

At the same time, TAS Agro does not consider any particular manufacturer to be a universal leader across all categories of agricultural machinery. According to Roman Borysovych, every brand has its strengths and weaknesses, so machinery should primarily be assessed according to how well a particular machine meets a specific technological requirement. At the same time, the effectiveness of BEDNAR machinery at the farm is also confirmed by experience with other machines. In particular, a significant part of TAS Agro’s deep soil loosening equipment is also supplied by this brand.

Reliable Support: Service and Partnership

Any sophisticated agricultural machinery requires high-quality technical support. In the case of TAS Agro, the supply and servicing of BEDNAR machinery is handled by Titan Machinery Ukraine.

The holding company is fully satisfied with its cooperation with this dealer: servicing and spare parts supply are carried out on time and to the highest standard. According to Roman Kuzmin, the service provided by Titan Machinery Ukraine is currently among the best on the market, helping to ensure uninterrupted machinery operation in the fields during the most critical seasons.

The experience of TAS Agro demonstrates a mature and deeply pragmatic approach to building its machinery fleet. The BEDNAR VERSATILL universal cultivator successfully fulfilled its role at a particular stage in the company’s development, becoming a reliable tool for addressing complex transitional tasks.

High annual workloads, flexible adjustment options, and the ability to cover large areas demonstrate that a universal solution can be highly effective when it is selected to meet clearly defined production needs and supported by high-quality service from a reliable dealer.
