AGRITECHNICA
Used Machinery Trade Centre
The real deal
Around 50 exhibitors at the special information

For young and developing markets
second hand equipment is
often a real good alternative, as
it is cheaper and easier to handle.
Furthermore service can be
garanteed, spare parts are available
and handling persons can be
supported or trained easily. Refl
ecting this trend, Agritechnica
2009 will feature a Used Machinery
Trade Centre in Hall
7. Organised by the DLG and
H.A.G. (German Agricultural
Machinery Dealers and Mechanics),
this centre will act as
an information area for dealers,
sellers and buyers of used agrimachinery
worldwide. Visitors
to this hall can also expect to
