ROVIC LEERS: Focused on a broad front

R ovic Leers, a supplier of equipment to South African farmers since 1927, is able to meet the bulk of the commer- cial farmer’s requirement for mechanisation solutions. The contradiction of ‘focus on a broad front’ is the challenge Rovic Leers negotiates in the following ways: Focus on: 1. Optimal mechanisation solutions rather than individual products. 2. Knowledge of agricultural processes to resolve the needs of customers through original solutions. 3. Sound quality rather than inferior, unreliable products. 4. Brands with the best after-sales service available. Broad front: Hay making, silage and straw handling • Mowers and mower conditioners (Kuhn) • Balers, small square (Cicoria) and round/big pack (Krone) • Forage harvesters (Kuhn and Krone) • Rakes (TonuttI and Kuhn) • Bale wrappers (Kuhn) • Bale accumulators (Kuhns Mfg) • Front end loaders (Rovic and Quicke) Animal nutrition Horizontal (Seko) chopper/mixer feeder wagons, where cut length and quality are the main objectives in a homogeneous mixture; and vertical (Kuhn) chopper/mixer feeder wagons, where capacity and speed of mixing are the outstanding features. Plant nutrition Precision fertiliser spreaders (Kuhn), fertilizer and lime spreaders (Rovic) and organic material spreaders (Kuhn) form a complete range of equipment and can be supplied with GPS compatibility.
