[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Catering for all farmers\u2019 needs from tractors to implements, Farm Maintenance Services (FMS)<\/a> of Pietermaritzburg has grown into a formidable force in the KwaZulu-Natal agricultural industry and farming community. \u201cWe are a Massey Ferguson dealership first and foremost,\u201d says Andrew Nicholson<\/strong>, who became involved with the business in 2016, but which has been a going concern for 20 to 30 years.<\/p>\n

FMS prides itself on supplying the full spectrum from the highest specification Massey Ferguson tractor to top end implements and everything in-between, so farmers have peace of mind in having complete solutions at hand.<\/p>\n

Andrew concurs that service excellence is a key differentiator. \u201cWe sell tractors, but at the end of the day our main goal is to ensure that the tractors we sell perform optimally for their entire lifespans. That satisfied customer will then happily buy his next tractor from us.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is what is referred to as the total cost of ownership (TCO), which considers the upfront cost of the tractor, its capabilities, capacity and uptime. Andrew argues that farmers do not give due consideration to TCO, which should ultimately be the most important factor in their final purchasing decision.<\/p>\n
