There is a lot of power in these words when Wynn Dedwith, founder of Valtrac says it. Wynn is a legend in the industry, with Valtrac that has been established 28 years ago and still excels as one of the top leading companies in the agriculture industry. It is clear that Wynn is excited to be at NAMPO 2024 again to showcase Valtrac’s whole range.
“It is nice here at NAMPO 2024. The sun is shining, the weather is nice, and it is not as cold as always.”
Valtrac displayed their complete range of tractors and equipment, from dry bean harvesters, spreaders, and sprayers to peanut diggers. The company began originally with Valtra tractors, and after that Wynn began expanding it to other implements like planters.
“From there we have grown to what we are today where we have almost four stands at NAMPO. We are probably one of the stands here with the widest variety of equipment. We go from dry bean and peanut harvesters, peanut diggers, sprayers, fertiliser spreaders, lime spreaders, manure spreaders, planters, silage equipment … and the list goes on and on.”
If there is something that you need, Valtrac probably thought of it a long time ago.
Wynn also adds that they have the world’s best haymaking equipment. Their Pöttinger mowers need no introduction. One can see that Wynn has a heart for what he does. When you ask him what his favourite Valtrac equipment is, he struggles to reply.
Valtra tractors were the beginning of the Valtrac and are still the pride of the company
“It is very difficult to say. I have a weak spot for the Valtra tractor range. It ranks among the best tractors in the world. They are also proven in South Africa. We have a lot of tractors with 30 000 hours on the clock without having their engines redone.”
They also boast with their 5 000 hour/5 year guarantee on their engines. As the first company in South Africa that had this option, they are also the leaders on this area.
“I have total confidence in these tractors.” All Valtrac’s implements are tested in South Africa and enjoy full backup service. Valtrac’s parts warehouse contains R80 million worth of parts.
Today Valtrac offers a wide range of efficient equipment and implements to farmers.
“It does not matter what equipment you have, if you don’t get service and backup support, it means nothing. We believe in providing spare parts promptly so that the farmer’s work never has to stop.”
Valtrac’s service does not stop with tractors and equipment. They also invest in people with their trainee programme.
“It is important that the people who work with you have the right culture, and live up to the Valtrac way. Service is everything.”
Valtrac is available on all social media. Also visit their website at www.valtrac.co.za, or contact them on 0861-VALTRA. They have branches all over the country, and their service also extends to Namibia.
