Lohnunternehmer Hanspeter Ryser aus Richenthal weiss: Nicht nur schlechtes Wetter kann ihn daran hindern, sein Bestes zu geben. Sondern auch eine Landwirtschaftsmaschine, die nicht auf Knopfdruck einsatzbereit ist. Ganz egal, wie viele Wintermonate sie in der Garage stand. Und ganz egal auch, wie viele Stunden sie bereits im Einsatz ist. Immer volle Leistung bringen wollen – dafür steht auch MOTOREX. Und ist darum für Hanspeter Ryser genau der richtige Partner.
