Nampo Cape in Bredasdorp will serve as the perfect springboard for Smith Power Equipment to introduce its comprehensive range of Fede sprayers to the agricultural community.

Farmers in the diverse Cape region will be first to get hands-on views of the sprayers with solutions for varying conditions and crop types of the country. Owned by Japanese agricultural giant, Kubota, the Spanish-made Fede sprayers are available through Smith Power Equipment’s large countrywide dealer network.

“The show provides an opportunity to reach a concentrated audience of farmers and industry professionals who are actively seeking innovative solutions for their agricultural needs and who are always interested in agricultural machinery and technology,” says Smith Power Equipment National Implements Sales Specialist, Jan Schoeman

 

Precise application

“Fede sprayers provide precise spraying capabilities which improves efficiency with user-friendly controls and customisable settings for specific crop and field requirements. They are made to be more robust and durable than traditional sprayers and are well suited to challenging fruit and vineyard farming conditions.

“These features directly address the specific needs and challenges faced by farmers in the region, such as optimising chemical usage, reducing drift, enhancing productivity and optimising resource utilisation. Our agricultural experts will host interactive presentations throughout the show to showcase the sprayers’ unique features and emphasize their potential impact on agricultural operations.

“We also plan to have promotions and special offers for farmers who express interest in the Fede Sprayers and visitors can expect incentives such as discounted pricing, favourable financing options, or bundled packages that include additional accessories or services,” says Jan.

 

African farms

He adds that the launch of the equipment will highlight the benefit of acquiring sprayers that have been carefully tailored to meet the specific needs and conditions of South African farmers and considering the unique challenges present in the local agricultural market.

Smith Power Equipment in conjunction with Kubota has conducted extensive research and development to ensure that the sprayers are well-suited to the region’s crop varieties, field sizes, topography and climatic conditions. Considerations such as compatibility with local crop varieties, adaptability to regional soil conditions and the availability of water resources and climate patterns have been incorporated into the design.

By localizing the sprayers, Kubota ensures that they effectively address the specific demands of South African farming, enabling farmers to optimise their spraying operations in accordance with local requirements.

 

Local support

Smith Power Equipment will provide comprehensive assistance and support to farmers who invest in the Fede Sprayers. This commitment includes various elements aimed at ensuring customer satisfaction and success including training programs designed to familiarise users with the features and operation of the sprayers, empowering farmers to use them effectively.

Additionally, maintenance guidelines are provided to help farmers maintain optimal performance and extend the longevity of the sprayers. The company also ensures the availability of readily accessible spare parts and accessories to facilitate any necessary repairs or replacements.

“Our farmers can expect ongoing developments such as improved control systems, enhanced automation features, integration with precision agriculture technologies and advancements in data analytics for optimised spraying decisions.
