    Trying to compare brands in NZ with those in SA purely out of interest and it seems the most popular in SA are:

    John Deere
    Massey Ferguson
    Landini
    New-Holland
    Case International

    but with some Indian and Chinese under brand names Ursus and Farmtrac. And here we have a South African manufactured tractor:

    Agrico 4+ Tractors

    Not sure how it compares with others on the market as I know sweet f-a about tractors!

    Owner of the farm I am on is looking at a side by side but can't decide on what brand. No Polaris agents anywhere near us at the moment.
