M7 tractor enters PNG market
M7 tractor enters PNG market
Brian Bell Agriculture Lae took delivery of a Kubota M7 tractor for its customer Rumion piggery located on the Markham plains.
This is by far the biggest tractor the BB Agri dealership has brought in to the country from Kubota dealer- All Class Australia in Brisbane.
To give significance to the delivery, a team of 5 from both All Class and Kubota Australia were here in Lae conducting training for Rumion Operators, BB Techs and also running product knowledge training of BBAgri managers.
The M7 comes with advanced features that includes electronically controlled functions, air-conditioned cabin and environment friendly 10ppm low sulphur fuel with low carbon emission.
Took almost 8 months until delivery on the 6th of April 2024, with challenging logistics due to its sheer size. It took 2 days to have it taken out of a skid at 3W warehouse then loaded by Huon Logistics on a low loader up to Rumion. Delivery of the low sulphur fuel by Puma to Rumion was another challenge but was delivered on the second day of the training onsite.
Amongst the team that flew from Australia was Kubota Australia GM Peter Gloury.
BB Agri and Tech Services GM Janoah Smith and Key Accounts Manager Ishai Tamir flew in with the Australian based team to provide further support. The Australian team also spent some time visiting tractor dealers and customers including reps of Ramu Agri.
David Duran GM of Rumion was a happy man, even though the order took longer and the delivery challenges and expressed gratitude for the after-sale support accorded by the group flying all the way from Melbourne and Brisbane as he was never accorded such level of support by his other equipment suppliers.
The team flew out of Lae on 11/04/2024 for Pom, with the Kubota team flying back on 13/04/2024 and the All-Class team spending several days with our Pom Ag team on training and visit customers in Port Moresby before flying back.
We hope that the ‘’Seeing is Believing’’ adage in PNG will help us sell more M7s.
