On his side Sales and Marketing Manager of NOBLE MOTORS Max Mhagama Said VST SHAKTI MITSUBISHI Power Tillers proved to be functional to Tanzanian soil bearing in mind that they have rotary attachment needed for rice farms.
These Power Tillers have been operating with utmost efficiency since 2006 also they have been certified by CAMARTEC, a government institution appointed for checking quality as well as operational efficiency especially in Tanzanian soil.
Max added “Despite the efficiency and quality of these machines, we also offer special training to all farmers showing the best way of operating and servicing Power Tillers. More emphasis is on field operator and even the winners being given awards today are expected to get training before starting operating these machines”
