Kubota verloor nie stoom nie
April 20, 2014 Brendan Budden
Dit bly een van trekkervervaardigers en – Verspreiders se grootste uitdagings om in ‘n flou ekonomie nie groot insinkings in hul verkope te ervaar nie.
Nadat plaaslike trekkerverkope rondom die eeuwending enkele jare by verkope van ‘n beskeie 2500 tot 4000 vasgeval het, het die oorwegend goeie landboujare sedert 2005 verkope tot sowat 7000 laat herstel. Die ekonomie het egter weer die afgelope jaar of wat vir ‘n ongewenste afplatting gesorg. Kubota L5040

April 16, 2014 Brendan Budden
Die Suid-Afrikaanse trekkermark kan nie anders as om kennis te neem van die Japanse gehalte trekker, Kubota, se opmars in die mededingende plaaslike mark nie. Ondanks ‘n beskeie begin in Suid-Afrika net meer as ‘n dekade gelede, het dié staatmakertrekker nou reeds ‘n aansienlike aandeel van die plaaslike verkope.
In die afgelope jaar het sy omset ‘n indrukwekkende groei getoon. As in ag geneem word dat die plaaslike mark die afgelope drie tot vier jaar byna onveranderd gebly het, is dit nie te versmaai nie. “Die afgelope jaar se groei dui daarop dat die produk meer en meer aanvaar word,” sê mnr Deon Engelke, produkbestuurder van Smith Power Equipment, die plaaslike verspreider van Kubota.

The Polaris 850 Scrambler
December 1, 2013 Brendan Budden
AND THE ATV OF THE YEAR GOES TO…
Looking back on the year 2013 – we only got to ride one brand new ATV – and what a quad that was. The New Polaris 850XP is simply put – amazing. Our pick for new machine of the Year…
Well that’s easy. Sheer excitement from the moment that you hit the throttle…absolutely brilliant! But wait, there’s more – handling is faultless with the standard Fox suspension delivering one of the plushest rides on the planet. That simple.
Check out out youtube video of the scrambler 850.
But naturally, there is more to it than just that. The Polaris 850 is packed with all kinds of technology that we love… Be warned: The scrambler is a big monster 4×4. Beginners may feel overwhelmed by its size; however, the cockpit will accommodate most any rider comfortably. Its slim midsection aids in comfort and control adding to the sporty feel of the scrambler.
Deciding whether the new styling appeals to you or not is a matter of personal taste. We have grown to really like it.

Die uitbreidings het ‘n tuiste gevind in ‘n splinternuwe aanleg van 6 000m2 in Edenvale aan die Rand. By die aanleg word die boude en blaaie van al die toerusting wat van Japan af gestuur word in ‘n moderne fabriekslyn aanmekaargesit en gereed gemaak vir versending aan die landwye handelaarsnetwerk.
