John Deere’s new 6830 tractor has arrived from Europe.
Sandstone Estates has a policy of importing most of its expensive farm machinery direct. The landed price of tractors imported from overseas is up to 30% lower than the equivalent price from a local dealer.
In addition, the features on the imported tractors are significantly enhanced. We are able to source tractors with hydraulic braking facilities, automatic rear trailer hitch, and air brakes as needed to pull heavy trailers. Many of these options are not available in South Africa.
There is no Import Duty on imported agricultural machinery.
