Kubota se onderdele en nasorgdiens maak boere se lewe makliker
‘n Nuwe trekker is altyd goeie nuus op ‘n plaas, maar as onderdele nie geredelik beskikbaar is nie, kan dit boere met die hande in die hare laat. “Dit is waarom Smith Power seker maak dat ons onderdelenetwerk soos ‘n geoliede masjien regoor Suid-Afrika funksioneer. Die geheim is goeie kommunikasielyne tussen boere, ons vele handelaars en met Smith Power se hoofkantoor in Johannesburg,” sê Maartin Vermaak, onderdele-aankoper van Smith Power.

Kubota on the Rise – Western Cape Revamps
Spend thirty minutes with “Mr Kubota S.A” – Deon Engelke – and you too will be a convert to the Kubota cause. His enthusiasm about this outstanding product is palpable and his obvious knowledge and expertise impressive.
Born in the shadow of the Hottentots-Holland mountain range in the Western Cape, Deon was driving tractors almost before he could ride a bike. “At the age of ten I was already doing a host of chores on the farm which required driving a tractor and ever since then these power-house machines have been a real passion for me,” Engelke says.

Stripped Naked at Nampo
A body stripped naked would undoubtedly cause much consternation at South Africa’s premier agricultural show NAMPO. And, at the latest NAMPO, held in Bothaville in May 2014, this is exactly what happened. Fortunately for all the visitors it was the body of a Kubota tractor… but the consternation was no less.
Kubota annekseer die goue Myl
Met ‘n gemiddelde prys van R160 000 per hektaar vir ‘n stuk grond in die Loskop-skema, word die pad tussen Marble Hall en Groblersdal nie verniet die Goue Myl genoem nie. Alhoewel die opbrengs op hierdie grond met hierdie water en met hierdie klimaat uitstekend is, kan ‘n boer wat grond bewerk in hierdie peperduur streek, nie bekostig om foute te maak nie; daarvoor is die grond te kosbaar.
Trekkerreeks gaan van krag tot krag
Die Suid-Afrikaanse trekkermork kan nie te onderhou, en jy het ‘n wenner. Anders as om kennis te neem van Kubota se opkoms in die mededingende sektor nie. Ondanks ‘n beskeie beg in net meer as ‘n dekade gelede het die stootmokers nou ‘n aansienlike aandeel von plaaslike verkope.
As door in og geneem word dot die plaaslike mark die ofgelope drie tot vier jaar byna onveranderd gebly het, is dit nie te versmaai nie. “Die ofgelope jaar se groei dui daarop dot die produk meer en meer oonvaor word,” se Deon Engelke van Smith Power Equipment, die plaaslike verspreider van Kubota.

Kipor Generators for TF Design
TF Design has ordered two KDE 12STA, which are to be used to supply power to equipment in mobile medical units that operate in remote rural areas.
Ivan Marais TF Design project engineer says that the KIPOR generators were chosen because of the good service provided by Smith Power Equipment (SPE) and the positive experience of generators that were very similar to the two Kipor KDE 12STA generators he purchased.
