JOSUA PIETERSEN - POTCHEFSTROOM
“ WE invest in John Deere
products. I really appreciate the
quality of John Deere. I also
appreciate their research and the
investment they make in their
products, locally and internation-
ally. The after-sales service is also
of excellent quality. We invested
in a new 15FX planter. We are
very satisfied with the product.
The technology is also excellent.
The iTEC screen, which moni-
tors your plantings and fertiliser
applications at all times, is very
important to us. The producer
wants to know that he works
accurately at all times. We love
the product. Our blood is green,
John Deere green. ”
JOHAN PIETERSEN - POTCHEFSTROOM
“ WE use the John Deere prod-
uct, the planter 15FX. It is the
one planter with a downforce
option. The other planters did
The enormous yield present many challenges, but Senwes Grainlink is geared

more from the cab. As you say,
our blood is green. ”
ALBERTUS BRINK - HOOPSTAD
“ WE use John Deere tractors
and use it for a number of rea-
sons. Some of the reasons are
the systems - I find it works very
well. We had a lot of wind this
year and it blew away our tracks.
We would not have found the
right places where we applied the
fertiliser beforehand. Due to the
RTK systems we could go direct-
ly to the right places and do what
was necessary and the planting
process could continue. ”
HENTI HELM - HOOPSTAD
“ WE used John Deere because
it is user-friendly. Our operators
understand it. It is a good prod-
uct. We like having an all-round-
er. We are very satisfied with the
service we get here in Hoopstad

- in the workshop and everyone
involved with it. The people
know the product and they know
exactly what to do. It is the only
product that is also green, like
the emerging crop after you have
planted. It is life and it means a
lot to us!” ”
SAREL VAN DER WALT - HOOPSTAD
“ JOHN Deere's technology
with computers and to take the
date home to do planning - it is
comfortable and user-friendly.

We have to go wider to decrease
costs. The technology and sys-
tems on the tractor make it possi-
ble for us.” ”
THABO VAN ZYL - WESSELSBRON
“ I bought a beautiful John Deere
8345 RT tractor with a16 row
.76 FX central seeding planter
this year. What a wonderful com-
bination! One can plant at a high
speed and its accuracy is excel-
lent. It is wonderful to be a John
Deere customer. Their after-sales
service is excellent. My blood is
green, John Deere green. ”
