Carrfields expands South Island footprint with Agricentre South Kubota dealership acquisition
Two of the South Island’s agricultural machinery dealers are undertaking strategic changes designed to deliver even greater specialist support to farmers.
In the late 1970's he bought his first wheeled tractor, a Kubota 7500, which over the years led to a number of the Japanese brand entering the business.
Wilson's latest acquisition from the marque is a M135GX which has earned its keep with implements such as a semi-mounted five-furrow plough and a 3m power harrow; it has racked up around 700 hours in five months.
Asked what he thought of his latest charge, Wilson said "the four cylinder engine just keeps hanging on and shows plenty of punch; the cab is roomy and quiet, has great visibility and the layout of the controls is well thought out."
He was also complimentary about the unique front suspension that irons out the bumps, and the Bi-Speed steering system that allows tight turns on headlands during row crop work.
