I feel like some tea Mr. @T-Bag smile.



Anyhow concerning tractor hire business. Please move this to Biz ideas section.

Yes you can do this moving from one place to another with seasons. You can start from TransMara (Aug-Dec),Narok (Dec-Feb),Kitale (Feb-May) then to Molo (May-Jul) and back again to Mara.



I don't want to pour cold water on your idea but I have reservation on this. But do you know almost every farmer bought a tractor last year? Getting job to do was cut throat? Prices came down. And those who had loans to pay had their tractors taken away for failure to meet the terms of payment plan.



I have not even mentioned regular break downs of torn tyre,broken jembe discs,lost furrow wheel,food for the drivers & touts,their accommodation and transporting the machinery from place to place.



At times you have to dig into my pocket to cover these expenses. I think the way out when you have a tractor is to optimize using it on your own farm.
