Deere model . " Everyone knows - I don ' t want any other gifts ." He is in the process of setting up an exhibition room with a few working models . The saying goes that when an engine stands idle , it dies .”
One of the models , the John Deere 4620 , is very special . It was his first model , actually a 5020 , which he played to pieces . Pietsap restored it to a 4620 for his 21st birthday . " This model was actually given to me as a gift twice .”
FAMILY Karel has been married to Kathleen for 17 years - she grew up on the neighbouring farm , Platkoppie . They have two sons , Daniel ( 14 ) and Anthony , who will be turning 11 soon . He said that they are all very involved in farming . His wife has her own cattle and she also deals with the administrative part of the business , while Daniel has been driving the 9560 from the age of 10 and Anthony the 8345 from the age of eight .
MOVING WITH THE TIMES BUT STAYING ROOTED Karel was born and bred here and matriculated at Elliot High School . He is incredibly grateful to his father . “ In the six and a half years until his death , I gained
more experience than I could have gained at even the best organisation in the world ,” he said proudly . He is very interested in new technology , but it does not take him away from his roots .
Should you be in the area , remember to ask for Green Karel . There are three Karels , Green Karel , his cousin , also Karel Bezuidenhout , who is known as Blue Karel due to his love of Ford and Red Karel , Karel Johnson , due to his red hair .
But Green Karel wants no life beyond John Deere and Senwes !
