How Niklas reduced operating costs on the farm with the right machine choice
Can a smaller machine really make a bigger difference in everyday farm work? For Niklas Karlsson, the answer was yes. Read how the right machine choice led to lower fuel costs, more applications and a more efficient workflow.
At Gärdet farm, just south of Askersund Sweden, Niklas Karlsson runs a business focused on young stock rearing, pig production, crop farming on nearly 100 hectares and contract work. When everyday tasks demand efficient and cost-effective solutions, the choice of machinery becomes crucial – and the Trejon Flexitrac quickly proved its value.
A smart choice for daily yard work
To avoid using his loader tractor for everyday tasks on the farm, Niklas invested in a compact loader from Trejon – a decision that changed both his operating costs and his environmental footprint.
-"I wanted something that was cheaper to run and easier to handle around the farm," says Niklas. "This Flexitrac is small, affordable and, on top of that, service is close by.”
Niklas looked at several different brands, but chose the Flexitrac thanks to its compact size, cost efficiency and easy access to service. Since April, it has become a natural part of daily work on the farm.
Fuel savings that add up over time
Since April, the Flexitrac has not only made work easier – it has also contributed to significant fuel savings.
"I save six litres of diesel every day compared to the loader tractor. Just by bedding in the barn, feeding and doing other yard tasks. It makes a big difference over the course of a year."
For a farm with many daily routines, this means not only lower operating costs, but also a more efficient workflow where the right machine is used for the right job.
A versatile machine with more uses than expected
The Flexitrac has also proven to be a highly versatile machine. Niklas uses it for everything from loading the seed drill and carrying milk powder pallets to bedding and moving bags.
-"You keep finding new areas of use that you didn’t think existed," he concludes.
When a machine is used frequently and for many different tasks, it quickly becomes a key part of the farm’s logistics and daily operations – especially when it is easy to operate and manoeuvre in tight spaces.
An investment with the future in mind
Niklas is clear that the investment has already paid off – and that he looks forward to many years of continued use.
-"It was a good investment, and I’m looking forward to many years with my Flexitrac from Trejon."
