Hello, Am thinking of buying a tractor to be used in Kitale and Mumias. What is the cost of buying a new or second hand massey ferguson/ford or new holland tractor? Any wazuan who comes from these areas? Whats the average profit per acre in Kitale and does Mumias sugar company hire tractors in the month of May-Dec because I have been told the month of Jan-April are the busiest month in Kitale? If yes,How much do they pay per day If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

If yes,How much do they pay per day I am a transport contractor in Mumias.For any job in Mumias you need a 90HP tractor and above preferably a New Holland TS 6000 which is Turbocharged.A new TS6000 goes for 4.5m without the plough.Land Preparation in Mumias starts in January and ends in November.Ploughing is tricky,avoid it if you can and if you can afford get a harrow and furrow as the company needs you to have both before getting the contract.For harrow,get the TS6040 which goes for 7.5m and a Nardi harrow implement for 2m.For furrow you need a TS6000 tractor and a furrow which goes for 200k.If you have 2 tractors i.e harrow and furrow you make on average 800k net a month.

What if I have a MF 460 4WD with only a disk plough? What is its horsepower?I guess 60HP.If it was 90HP you can get a contract through me but for a fee of 150k as my tea.If you get the contract hrough someone else,I may ensure it is revoked.A standard requirement is a 90HP tractor and above.

Hp105 Tuma email with your contacts to ellyodhong@gmail.com and have 150k readyI give you my boy you go see the person concerned and you get the contract in a day.I dont have experience with the MF but a well maintained one should do 4hectares a day,consuming 11 litres per hectare and the company pays 6000 per hectare.Do the maths.There are however unforeseen hurdles eg the tractor getting stuck,the driver ploughing for other people at a fee,not being allocated adequate fields to plough among other challenges.

@Mawinder, thanks for insightful info on ploughing. Could you kindly enlighten on process of getting contract for Cane transportation and preferred tractor specs? Truth forever on the scaffold

You need a tractor and a basket trailer.For the tractor,the most preferred model is NewHolland TS6000 or JohnDeere 6215 but preferably NewHolland TS6000.You also need a basket trailer.A new single basket trailer goes for 1.2m while a second one goes for between 350k and 500k and can ferry upto 15 tonnes.If you choose a double basket trailer it goes for 3m while new.You also need a winch which is used to pull the tractors when stuck,you need a cane loader to load the cane or humans to do the same,you need a pickup to transport spare tyres as punctures are common,you need a Tanganyika jack.The requirements are so many and it is a costly venture to begin but you can start by getting your own contract and getting a contractor to offer you the loading and winching for a fee,The returns are good eg for a single basket trailer the average returns are 150k a fortnight and for a double basket trailer the returns are 300k a fortnight BUT Mumias is very competitive and demanding I would advise you to start with Nzoia before moving to Mumias.If you still insist on the Mumias contract,I can assist.

What are the market rates and how avaialable are these?? Asante. Those tractors are very rare in the second hand market more so the 4wd as they are hot cake.If you are lucky you may get a repossessed one at CMC and you have to bribe the salesmen but I still would not advise you to buy second one as parts are costly in CMC and I dont want you buying parts in the blackmarket eg an injector pump for the TS6000 is 850k at CMC and woe unto you if the turbocharger fails.Seek financing and get a new unit.

@mawinder .... we wacha! Hapa sasa basi umeanguka ....  a new at cmc is around 8m! i gave you quite a number of models - ts 90 or ts 120 or ts 6000 .... honestly, the former 2 models ar better off compared to the ts 6000 .... not turbo charged and low consumption... Buying items from the 2nd market is not a bad idea either ..... as long as they are available ...... is there anywhere i can get a massey ferguson 390 or 399 4WD in that case? I dont neccesarily mean in western ..... hata central / coast ama popote ..... sema nami! God gave me the power to make wealth ... Blessed the work of my hands & enabled be A SELF MADE BILLIONAIRE ...... TO GOD THE FATHER OF MY LORD JESUS CHRIST; BE THE GLORY NOW & FOREVER MORE!

Or you are forming a tractor collectors club... The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

My queries are simple and directed towards mawinder .... i dont understand why you ask such a question .... even after i put myself into your shoes .... such a question is such backward .... and BTW .... even if i was doing a collection ..... anything wrong?
