Senwes Scenario June / July 2019 | Page 32

AGRICULTURAL Senwes Equipment ready for the winter  By Jacques Pretorius Senwes Equipment: Manager: Meganisasiedienste T here is two things about winter which excite us - harvest time and hunting time! After the har- vest, we can hang our fresh bil- tong in the garage once again. As you know, all Senwes Equipment workshops are busy preparing harvesters and harvester tables and rolling out the PIP (Product Improvement Programme) of John Deere, where applicable. We also offer a comprehensive inspection pro- gramme in terms of which your harvester is checked on the basis of a 200+ point plan and oil and diesel tests are done to ensure that you will have peace of mind during harvest time. We would like to invite you to have your 8000 and 9000 series tractors inspect- ed proactively at your nearest Senwes Equipment workshop to ensure that you get the required working hours from your machine. We believe that, after the good rain and the soil moisture levels, a number of producers are already on their har- vesters, pulling along their rippers, which means that unnecessary problems must now be avoided. We would like to remind you of the John Deere fuel conditioner summer and winter formula which you can use with your diesel to prevent the diesel from freezing during the winter months. The necessary lubrica- tion of injectors and the diesel supply sys- tems are also improved in order to extend the life of your John Deere product. Please make use of our Senwes Equipment Call Centre when setting up your harvester screen and documentation. Contact our toll-free number, 018 464 7550, regarding any Greenstar problems and the setting up of screens, as well as the capturing and deletion documentation relating to any of your agri-equipment. We offer the following when you make use of a Senwes Equipment workshop:  68 trained John Deere technicians in our Senwes area of operation.  Special equipment to ensure that we keep your machine going throughout the year and to facilitate services.  64 field service vehicles to assist you.  5 technical advisors with years of John Deere experience.  A guarantee in respect of genuine John Deere spares and workmanship for peace of mind throughout the year.  A business which is 110 years old and which regards the future of agricul- ture and every producer as extremely important.

PRUNING A TREE HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY The Greentec Hedger LRS 2402 is definitely the right pruning equipment for nut trees.
