- Well, this was a fun expo. For those of you who couldn’t make it to Primex, here are my quick takes on what I found most interesting in the hundreds of exhibits.
Very interesting to see all the equipment there, Daniel.
I’ve just returned from a two day visit to our Grain South Africa annual exhibition, NAMPO.
Absolutely mind blowing seeing the various types, makes and sizes of equipment available. Prices are mind blowing too😋
We have the multi-one available in SA but I haven’t seen the Robmac brand here. I’ll have a look out for it.
NAMPO is definitely an exhibition any farm equipment/product manufacturer would want to be at if they want exposure in the SA market.
Thanks again for the informative and interesting post, as always.
Good to know, Greg - thank you!
Thanks for the shout out! Yes my Club Car is similar to the green on for sale at $26k. It’s a good machine. We bought ours second hand for around $7k. I’ll have to spend money on ours soon as the front end is a bit worn out.
The Primex field day looks good but there don’t seem to be very many people there. The idea of using plants to improve the soil sounds great. I’d be keen to learn more but I’ll have deal with the grass currently there.
A couple of weeks ago we went to the Tocal field day. It was a lot busier than your day at Primex. We went there on a Saturday which could be why it was busier. I’m in the market for a flail mower to attach to my tractor and being able to talk to a large number of sales people selling them was of great value. Being able to compare what they said and listen to different points of view was great. I’ve pretty well settled on an Italian made mower which has hydraulic side shift that will hopefully help with mowing the grass between the trees.
Hi Karl. Glad I got it right - I couldn't remember for the life of me whether you'd said Club Car or Club Cadet. Do you know where they're made? They seem kind of American in style.
Poor old Primex was almost a wash-out in heavy rain on its first day. I was videoing about an hour before closing on the second day, partly to avoid the earlier crowds. Your expo sounds good too - they really generate some ideas, don't they.
@@nutkinfarm my Club Car CarryAll 295 is a 2007 model. It was made by Ingersoll Rand in the USA which owned Club Car. I think the company was sold and I think they are still made in the USA. It’s a fairly basic machine in a lot of ways, simply but well built and thought out. It’s basically a simple car.
I really do not know why these vehicles are so expensive. You can still buy a car for $25k. It will be basic but will have power steering, power windows, rear view mirrors, airbags, air conditioning, a decent head unit with blue tooth and so on. Meanwhile a farm car at this price does not have a windscreen.
@@kdegraa other than a volume equation I can’t see why the expense either, Karl. There’s plenty of competition in that space too. For my money I’d look at a Kawasaki Mule but the Club Cars were nicely understated - I liked them.
We really never do grow out of our Tonka toys, do we? ]:)
Looks like a fun day out.
The boys all look like they’re containing their excitement but there was no fooling me Scruff ;-)
The Howard Nugget slashers are made in Korea.
Oh, that’s disappointing Frank.
hey my friend i want to work with you can please give me any farming job i have done bachelor of agriculture science from India
Hi - I don't have any employees at Nutkin Farm, sorry - I just get in contractors for the things I can't do myself. I'm flattered that you would ask! Cheers.
