FarmspaceGerhard Beukes in Clocolan runs a seed production powerhouse—and Massey Ferguson is at the core!
Reliability in the Fields – Gerhard Beukes and His Massey Ferguson 7600 Series. In Clocolan, Gerhard Beukes runs a productive seed and livestock operation, growing soya and meleise to support his animals. At the heart of his farm’s efficiency is the Massey Ferguson 7600 series—a lineup he trusts with over 7,000 to 8,000 hours on the clock. Gerhard values the 150-horsepower range as the perfect balance between power and practicality. It allows him to run multiple machines efficiently, ensuring that if one is in for service, another can seamlessly take its place. The larger Massey Fergusons are used for ripping and planting, handling heavy-duty tasks with ease. What stands out most for Gerhard is the user-friendliness, fuel efficiency, and low total cost of ownership. Apart from the occasional sensor replacement due to wear, the tractors have proven incredibly reliable. Regular 500-hour service intervals, handled by OVK in Clocolan, keep everything running smoothly. For Gerhard, Massey Ferguson isn’t just a tool—it’s a dependable partner in every season.
