Soil Preparation is one of our specialities. Apart from working in George, we have also done a lot of work in places in the Eastern Cape, such as Fort Beaufort, Cookhouse, Alexandria and Addo. We’ve done big empowerment projects in the former Transkei in places such as Qamata, Shilo and Queenstown, where we have been contracted to do ± 2,000 ha maize. In these projects, we were contracted to perform all aspects of crop management, from the initial soil preparation processes to planting, spraying, and crop care till harvesting of the crop. Whilst working on these projects we also trained local communities on all aspects of farm mechanization and soil preparation methods to the local communities. We also gained valuable knowledge from these projects, which was then shared with new upcoming farmers.
Built our own Orchards Narrow Tractors
Modified & Personalized Tractors
During the sanction years, new equipment was very expensive and the workshop, with its team of experienced technicians, built and modified many tractors for special applications. The company built and supplied ± 270 narrow tractors to farmers for use in vineyards, orchards, citrus, and hop applications. These tractors had more power than normal vineyard and orchard tractors and were very popular amongst fruit farmers.
Rough terrain forklifts, high-speed haulage low-speed crawler tractors and a host of agricultural, forestry and construction implements have also been built according to customer needs.
