John Deere Middle East Africa | C1200 | Walkaround Video 2

Good morning to the John Deere family. We are very pleased to announce to you the new John Deere C1200 combine. My name is Scobes de Toy. I am the country manager for Tata International Zambia. Some of our customers already bought some of our C120 combines in the past. But the updated features that we will share with you today will allow the C1200 to perform even a lot better in this hardened conditions in Africa. We have a crop variance between maize, very dry maize, soya, as well as very high yielding wheat. In this case our C1200 with the new 6.8 liter John Deere engine give us enough power to get through those tough conditions as well as that high yielding wheat yields. And we are really comfortable to say that this is an improvement on the engine capacity side. Now this C1200 behind us is just the tip of the iceberg. We are very excited about this new features that's been launched on this machine and we believe that we as dealers as well as our customers will get the benefit of these improved engine performance, top loading, comfortable cab performance and that will allow us to regain market share and also enter into that larger segment of the market.

My name is Akatuna Snyangwe. I'm the sales manager for Tata International Zambia, the John Deere dealer. I'm here to talk about the all new C1200 combine and just run you through some of the key selling features or key benefits or improvements that have been added onto this new combine. The John DSC1200 is based on the current C120 model which has been running all over Asia, Africa and South America and has proven to have great experience and productivity in terms of various crops and various operational conditions. The C1200 has a larger separation area than other combines in its class which leads to excellent productivity and grain quality and ultimately leads to minimum grain loss. The C1 200 leverages on these field proven components and technology that applies on it. So we're now going to do a walk around and just understand the combine better. The operator Comfort on the C1 200 begins with this all new rotatable front ladder which gives you access to the cabin and ends with the multi control joystick which has great value add especially when you're dealing with headlight turns and of course the display on the corner that gives you easy visibility terms of information as you run your combine. When we talk about ease of maintenance, you can only Talk about the C1 200 if we look at the improvements that we've made on the unit. We have improved the knives, increased them by 50% strength. And secondly, we have made them bolted as compared to the previous C120 that had the pivoted knives. Also, in terms of ease of maintenance, we have made the engine oil drain handle easy to access and quick access to the radiator cleaning on the C1200 we have reinforced several structural areas of the combine. Examples are the feeder house, grain elevator and the rear axle. All of this has been done basically to withstand the tough African conditions under which we operate. And of course this obviously leads to better productivity. And also technically taking into account the new features that have been added on the combine, this has also been done to handle the additional capacity that comes with the all new features on the combine. The C1 200 has got a 5500 liter grain tank which is larger than the previous model which had a 4200 liter grain tank. And one of the other benefits is that on the offloading auger is that you've got a top offloading auger as compared to the affordable auger that was there on the C120 with a larger 400L pure tank on the C1200. This allows you to be in the field longer and to have a more productive day. When we talk about ease of access, the all new ladder that has been designed on the C1200 gives you easier access to the engine compartment. With all the exciting features on the John Deere 700C1200 combine that we've introduced. One of the lovely features is the styling from the front to the back of the machine. This machine has a lovely modern look which gives you pride. As you can see, we have made a great product even better enabling you to have better efficiency, higher productivity with comfort and at the end of the day, enjoy the John Day experience Chance.

Thank you very much for the opportunity. John Deere. We really appreciate that that you've looked Tata International, Zambia and I want to say have a great dealer conference and greetings to Mac.
