History is our heritage |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Our history is deeply connected with agriculture, with people of our land,
Piedmont an area rich of hills, mountains, woods and vineyards where in
summer the sun shines and in winter intense cold reigns. The problems of
our land belong to our genetic history. We know all problems due to the
narrow spaces, to the ground asperities and to the growing in the
slopes. We have always faced them and we are proud to state to have found
advanced solutions. |

In 1883 Mr. Giovanni Battista Repetto , who was called Belgrado because
of an adventurous journey, built a spraying machine for copper sulphate
that is still used today without any substantial modifications. This
machine was patented and won prizes at the Paris Exhibition in 1903 and
at the Turin Exhibitions in 1911 and 1928. |

Romolo
Polentes, the nephew who gave the name to the company (Polentes Romolo >
PR> Pierre) built in 1956 his first spraying pump with motor.
|
| |
|
|
|
In 1957 he
built his first motor cultivator that was named Pierre. It had 4 gears,
gear-box with forced lubrication and automatic patented device for the
release of the milling machine on the reverse. This was the first
prototype and then it was used by all the other builders. |

In 1958 he
built his first little tractor with 4 equal driving-wheels and the
transporter.

In 1959
was built the little tractor Pierre with steering-gear on the front
axis, that for several years remained the only exemplar.
|
|
 |

 |
|
In 1969
was built Pierre 327 which is still produced today without any
substantial modifications. It is appreciated by all users for its
performances and its proverbial strength.

In 1986
Giovanni Polentes, who succeeded his father, began to build the tractor
type 358 with hydrostatic driving and double steering-system whose
characteristics are still today incomparable on the market.

|
|
 |
|
In 1996,
thanks to the experience acquired with the type 358, he began to build the
tractor type
P796V
