Rules: road use and exemptions

The legal exemptions for agricultural vehicles and equipment fall under the National Road Traffic Act of 1996 and its regulations, so check them if you plan to tow a trailer on public roads.

Warranty and service

Warranties differ a lot. One supplier in the listings gives three years or 2,500 hours, another gives one year carry-in cover, and power products from some brands carry two years for consumers. Ask what the warranty covers and where the service is done in your city.

Season and delivery

Demand peaks in summer, from December to February, when gardens and small plots are worked hardest. Ask whether the price includes implements (tillers, cultivators) and whether the engine has an electric or manual starter. Compare machines by engine HP and working width rather than by brand alone.

Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha are far apart, so confirm the delivery city and whether the price includes transport.

What to put in your request

Name the engine type you want (petrol, diesel or electric), the power in HP, the plot area in square metres, and whether you need implements. Give the plot size so sellers can say which machine fits. Add the model if you know it, whether the machine should be new or used, your budget and the city for delivery.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers.
