VST 4X4 COMPACT TRACTORS
consider using a quad bike , like many farmers do these days , but after weighing up the pros and cons it was clear that we would get more use from the VST Compact Tractor than a quad . Quads are more expensive to run and don ’ t have all the features and functions of these tractors which sport a PTO , threepoint lift and basic instrumentation , making them easy and affordable to run .”

Hannes Smit , Senior Manager : Procurement , explained that these tractors are bought in South Africa directly from the importer , ETG Logistics Group . Agrimark realised that there is a big demand for a
small , tough , reliable , and strong tractor at an affordable price among local producers of various crops .
“ In India , you see these tractors around every corner . The work that those local farmers manage to get done with them is just mindblowing . Our present supplier of tractors does not have something similar in their range and we mutually agreed that the VST Compact Tractor fills a large gap in our market ,” he said .
“ A number of producers and boutique farmers who farm with berries , dairy , stems for grape vines , and others in the fruit industry , expressed a need for a small tractor that could fit between their narrow rows and even inside tunnels where their products are grown ,” Hannes
The VST tractor is so small it fits into a standard container where it can be parked easily and stored safely .
