Two farm operators run 30 John Deere 6 Series tractors for planting onions and potatoes, spreading fertilizer, and cultivation work. They say the tractors are universal and easy enough for seasonal workers to handle, with the right horsepower for their equipment.
John Deere equipment's been really reliable for us. Here on the farms, we've got 30 6 Series tractors. They're doing things from planting onions, planting potatoes, as well as doing some fertiliser spreading and also doing some damma diaking and cultivation and those sorts of things across the farm.
The 6 Series tractors is also a really universal, easy-to-use tractor, especially for backpackers and seasonal workers. It's a suitable horsepower for what they require for the machinery that they dealing with.
We're always keen to continue to adopt to new technology because it helps us run more efficiently and helps us understand more as a farming operation. As a horticultural producer, we would definitely recommend John Deere as something that someone else is looking for in their business.
