From past to present
The success story of the HOLMER Terra Variant began as early as 1985, when the Universal Carrier Tractor TS 210 became the first HOLMER machine built under the pioneering Trac concept. In 1993, a modified Terra Dos set new standards. Instead of a beet bunker, a slurry tank was mounted, laying the foundation for future innovations. The breakthrough came in 1996 with the Terra Variant 420 – a pioneer that ushered in a new era of efficient slurry application. Since then, the Terra Variant has been continuously developed to meet the demands of modern agriculture. Today, the Terra Variant 435 and 650 stand for power, efficiency, and future technology. They are not only reliable partners in agriculture but also continue to set new standards – ready to shape the future.
