Small, but strong utility vehicles

Farmer's Weekly

September 18, 2020

Some jobs on the farm are too small to be done using regular farm machinery, but too large to be done by hand. John Deere’s range of turf and utility vehicles are just the right size to perform these smaller tasks.

Small, but strong utility vehicles

During the second week of September, Grain SA presented the first-ever online Nampo agricultural show, Nampo Virtual, which featured equipment and machinery displays by a large number of companies, as well as several webinars and information sessions featuring some of South Africa’s foremost experts in the farming sector.

Among the exhibitors was a Nampo favourite, John Deere, whose offering included displays of a large range of its tractors and other farm machinery. The company’s exhibition line-up also included its range of turf and utility vehicles, which are aimed primarily at lifestyle farmers and owners of large estates. However, these vehicles will be of interest to any farmer who needs a quick, convenient mode of transport on the farm when performing smaller tasks.

The Unseen Protector

The belief in the Unseen Protector or Unseen Shepherd endured for around 600 years, from the 13th century up until the 19th century. The farmer or his wife would provide a bowl of fresh cream and gruel to appease a spirit, whose blessing was imperative for a good summer harvest and animal health and fertility.
