Tractor love from Bevern: This is how Felix works in his second home!
The passion for tractors and agriculture is a deep-rooted passion for many people. A notable example of this is 23-year-old Felix Schlüter from Bevern, who works full-time as an agricultural machinery mechanic and often spends his free time on the tractor. SHZ reports that Felix developed a great enthusiasm for the machines as a child and regularly went with farmer Nils Hachmann on his farm at the age of five.
His interest in agriculture was further strengthened by an internship on Hachmann's farm in ninth grade, and this place has been his second home ever since. Not only did he work there, but he also made many friends, including 21-year-old Ben Hachmann, Nils Hachmann's son. The farm is also visited by a young talent named Tamme, who at the age of twelve also has an eye on farming and can often be found on the farm.
Professional roots
After graduating from school, Felix decided to complete training as an agricultural and construction machinery mechatronics engineer. This diverse profession requires professionals to have a high level of technical knowledge and practical skills to repair and maintain machinery used in agriculture, construction sites or even recreational industries such as golf courses. The information portal of the Chamber of Crafts explains that knowledge in areas such as hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics and electrics is required.
In his job at Landtechnik Shirtingen, Felix takes care of the maintenance and repair of various machines and, if necessary, also gives valuable tips in customer contact. This varied work excites him and ensures that no two days are the same. Especially during the harvest season, he takes vacation to help out on the farm, often spending time on the tractor until late into the night. “I enjoy this more than an entertaining vacation with friends,” says Felix, showing where his priorities lie.
A job with a future
Agriculture itself is a growing career field that offers numerous career opportunities. According to an article by Economic pulse Bavaria In the last 20 years, the number of students in agricultural sciences has increased by around 60%. The dual training for farming and related professions lasts around three years and combines practical experience with theoretical knowledge.
More and more young people are choosing a career in agriculture that not only offers traditional practices but is also characterized by modern technologies such as automation and AI. These developments are important to meet the challenges of the future, such as climate change and increasing demand for food.
Farming training covers a wide range, including crop production, animal husbandry, technology and economics. The opportunities for specialization and further training, such as becoming an agricultural business economist, make the profession even more attractive. Felix, who currently does not have a family of his own, will continue to be involved in this important sector and maintain the valuable tradition of the farm.
In summary, Felix Schlüter is a living example of how passion for agriculture can be fueled among young people. With his craftsmanship and commitment, he shows that the profession of agricultural and construction machinery mechatronics engineer is not only future-proof, but also brings joy and makes a fulfilling life possible.
