We grow corn, oilseeds and cereals here. In my province, the Western Cape, which is at the lower tip of Africa, we grow malting barley, wheat, oats and canola as main crops. In the Overberg region, where I live, we windrow all grain, other regions cut straight or windrow, depending on winds, crop and such factors. We use Case IH, John Deere, Claas, New Holland and Massey Ferguson combines. Case: 1400, 1600, 2100, 2300-series, JD: from 900-series through Titan, Titan II, Maximizer and latest STS machines. Claas: Mercator, Dominator, Mega, lexion 400 and lately also lexion 500-series. New Holland: from as far as the 1530 through to 8040 etc.; later TF_TX_TR models up to latest CX+CR ranges. MF: older models, like the 550, 850, 750 and 860. Poor after-sales support is the factor which most probably led to the sharp decline in the popularity of this brand. In some places one might find the odd Deutz Fahr or laverda combine, as well as some older types, like McCormick, but in my region the abovementioned are most common. I personally operate mainly Case IH machines for various growers_contractors, since I'm currently a student at University. Do ask if you wish to know more.
