The KSU 1 self-propelled windrower showcased by Rostselmash at MOLDAGROTECH SPRING 2026 in Chișinău was sold while still at the display. The machine will join the fleet of a major dairy producer in Moldova. This addition aims to fulfill the task of efficient forage harvesting at expanded acreage.
The key event opening a new agricultural season will be taking place till March 14. Rostselmash is showcasing its T500 grain harvester and KSU 1 self-propelled windrower there. Growers are hustling to get ready for the season and secure high future yields: preparing the soil, planning the spring campaign, repairing and purchasing equipment. The KSU 1 took center stage at the Rostselmash showcase.
Straight from the show, the new machine is heading to NEOLACTA SRL, a major dairy producer in Moldova. The company thus explained its choice:
"We have a large farm with scattered fields of varying sizes. We’ve been using windrowers from different brands for the forage, but we can't get enough productivity. Since we are located in the central part of the country, where the conditions are right for these crops, we decided to expand our silage grain acreage. So, we are going to plant cereals and grain legumes to make silage. So, we need a high-performance machine."
SA ATC-Agrotehcomert, Rostselmash's authorized dealer in Moldova, says the interest from NEOLACTA SRL was underpinned by the positive experience of their neighbours: "We have recently supplied a Rostselmash self-propelled windrower to a livestock farm, the farms keep in touch and give a positive feedback on the machine's performance. NEOLACTA SRL was interested in KSU 1's productivity and claimed 50 hectares per day."
The self-propelled windrower is designed for high performance in foraging applications. Powerful, agile, and versatile, it is the perfect fit for farms that rely on swathing and focus on livestock production. The machine can operate at speeds up to 15km/h, with a productivity up to 10.5ha per hour and 5,000 hectares cut per season. This allows large farms to complete harvest within the optimal agronomic window, which directly impacts crop preservation and forage quality. The machine is fully compliant with current European standards.
