The First-Class Mechanic
This year, mechanics are competing for the sixth time. In this competition, as well as, in previous years, employees of servicing centres participate. They have contracts of employment and are involved in the repair of agricultural machines on a daily basis.
The aim of this competition is to select the best mechanic of agricultural machines in Poland in 2017. This is, of course, the fundamental objective, but besides it, the Chamber would like to emphasize the role of qualified personnel to service machines, stimulating the professional development of service technicians and promoting servicing as an important business area.
Participants who had previously logged on to the website had to complete 3 on-line tests, each consisting of 20 questions, with reference to proper servicing, construction and repair of agricultural machines. The elimination phase ended on 31st May, after which the final five participants were selected. This year, in the finals at the AGRO SHOW in Bednary, the following competitors will face each other:
Adam Baworski
Piotr Cybulko
Daniel Jankowski
Radosław Kaczmarski
Dawid Żłobicki
