[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The farm Spitskop in the Heidelberg district in the Western Cape represents pure Massey Ferguson<\/a> tradition and achievement. Hendrik-Pieter<\/strong> and Hanro Stiglingh<\/strong> are the fourth generation on the farm, having grown up with the brand.<\/p>\n

Hendrik-Pieter learned to drive an MF 1105 when still in primary school. He and Hanro used the tractors to convey grain to the silos and till the soil for land preparation for planting. \u201cMy brother especially loved the tractors. When we were growing up and still in boarding school we could come home to the farm on weekends and during harvest time. I still remember Hanro had put a picture of himself in the licence disc holder of the MF 290 that my father owned. On Friday nights he went to bed with his overalls on so he could be ready to bring in the grain early on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
