TREKKERVLOOT
Die land se huidige trekkervloot is 88 156 eenhede (
Grafiek 10
).
Daar was ’n merkbare afname in die grootte van die trekkervloot met
verloop van tyd en die hoofrede hiervoor is die kleiner somer- en win-
tergraanaanplantings oor tyd, asook die verhoogde verkope van groter
as gemiddelde (kW) trekkers.
TREKKEROUDERDOM
Die gemiddelde ouderdom van trekkers in die trekkervloot is tans
sewe jaar.
Grafiek 11
hieronder toon die tendens in die ouderdoms-
verspreiding van die trekkervloot. Die persentasie van trekkers wat
ouer as tien jaar is, neig afwaarts, terwyl dié van trekkers jonger as
tien jaar styg. Die totale getal trekkers jonger as tien jaar oud is tans
ongeveer 62 600 eenhede, wat 71% van die huidige trekkervloot
beslaan. Die persentasie trekkers jonger as tien jaar was in 1993 op
’n laagtepunt, toe 35,8% van die trekkervloot jonger as tien jaar was.

TRACTOR FLEET
Currently, the country’s tractor fleet consists of 88 156 units
(
Graph 10
). There has been a notable decrease in the size of the
tractor fleet over the years and the main reason for that is the
reduced summer and winter grain plantings over time, as well as
the increased sales of bigger than average sized (kW) tractors.
TRACTOR AGE
Currently the average age of tractors in the tractor fleet is seven
years.
Graph 11
below indicates the trend in the age distribution of the
tractor fleet. The percentage of tractors that are older than ten years
is trending downwards, while that of tractors younger than ten years is
trending upwards. The total number of tractors younger than ten years
is currently about 62 600 units, which constitutes 71% of the current
tractor fleet. The percentage of tractors younger than ten years was at a
low in 1993, when 35,8% of the tractor fleet was younger than ten years.
