He also have received great appreciation from the various research committees on Avocado and also on the many studies, he has presented, in the International Conferences. Apart from the consultation job, Graeme also managed his own orchards and vegetable farms, north of Toowoomba.
Last year, when he moved to his new farm, south of Toowoomba, he knew that there was lot to be done to straighten the farm that was severely affected by erosion, over the years. The amount of soil to be moved demanded a solid, rugged tractor in the 70-80 HP category with a loader fitted on it.
His search for the tractor began at farmfest in Toowoomba. He said, “I looked at the various models displayed at the field days but couldn’t find anything as sturdily built as the Mahindra 7520-4WD. I was pleasantly surprised by the value and high quality of the product. What also impressed me was the three year, engine and powertrain warranty on these tractors.”
He also added “Mick and Andrew, from Wideland Rural were very helpful and patient with me. They explained the product in detail and instilled confidence in me. They seemed to stand behind it with great confidence which made me feel good while ordering the tractor. Since then, I have ordered sprayers, fertilizers and other implements and it has been a great experience working with them."
“I am very pleased that I purchased the Mahindra. Aside from being a very rugged tractor with a lot of grunt in it, it is very comfortable to drive. The platform is very spacious and all the controls are ergonomically placed, making it a pleasure driving these tractors even while doing long hauls. The heavy cast iron chassis offers a lot of weight to the tractor which assists in higher traction, control and stability.”
“One of the other features that drove me towards the Mahindra was its high hydraulic pump capacity. With 65 LPM available at the remotes, it makes it ideal for use with high capacity post hole drivers that I intend to purchase shortly. Moreover, the Auxiliary remotes offer float and detent positions.”
