My name is Simon Vesinet.
I'm a farmer and a breeder in Millau, in the south of Aveyron,
home of the milk sheep.
My job includes a lot of breeding work,
taking care of the animals, and a little growing.
I've always been surrounded by this.
This daily work, being close to the animals,
it's something that I've always loved.
After that, it was the obvious next step.
We have our own sheep,
we grow cereals and fodder to feed our sheep.
It can't be compared to a tractor with loader.
It's much easier to handle.
However, our only problem is that it's not powerful enough.
I have an MLT 526.
When I load things in the fields or in other situations,
it could do with a little more power.
Nevertheless, around buildings, when you're handling it,
it's just perfect.
For anything we do inside buildings,
such as cleaning up the sheepfold,
handling bales in sheds,
it makes things much easier compared to a tractor with loader.
I remove manure from my neighbour's fold,
because he can't do it with his standard tractor.
I'm the only one who can get inside the building.
It takes two manoeuvres, of course, but I'm the one who can do it,
while my neighbour, with his tractor, can't.
Manitou has great manoeuvrability and good customer service.
