Feedback from some of the trainees
Pumza Mtukushe
I have learned a lot in the theory part of the course, because
there were more things I was not aware of and to go on the field
and apply this knowledge you first have to understand the theory.
At first I had a fear of not understanding what’s going on because
I have not driven a tractor to spray or plant a crop, but the course
and the trainer’s explanations made it clear. I would like to thank
the trainer for good work done and I wish he can present more
courses in future.
I have learned a lot with regards to the practical side of the
course. Eric was more practical; he took us to the field and
applied the theory he taught us. I can go to farmers and apply
this knowledge with confidence.

I learned a lot to increase my understanding on the importance
of the machine and its parts. Every little thing in the tractor needs
to be taken care of and all nuts and bolts have to be checked and
greased. Everything that needs lubrication has to be lubricated
– whether with oil or grease it has to be done. No mistakes should
be made. Your tractor is your treasure, use it well.
Practical: One very important thing on the practical side of
the course is to learn that it is possible to calculate the time to
determine at what pace we should work. This is important when
doing contracting work and charging a fee. I also learned a lot
about the calibration of different implements.
Terugvoer van sommige van die studente
Pumza Mtukushe
Ek het baie in die teorie-gedeelte van die kursus geleer, want
daar was baie dinge waarvan ek nie bewus was nie, en om in
die landerye hierdie kennis te gaan toepas, moet jy eers die
teorie verstaan. Ek het aan die begin ’n vrees gehad dat ek nie
gaan verstaan wat aangaan nie want ek het nog nie ’n trekker
bestuur om ’n gewas te bespuit of te plant nie, maar die kursus
en die opleier se verduidelikings het dit duidelik gemaak. Ek wil
die opleier vir die goeie werk bedank en ek hoop hy kan in die
toekoms meer kursusse aanbied.
Ek het baie in die praktiese sy van die kursus geleer. Eric was
meer prakties; hy het ons na die landerye geneem en die teorie
toegepas wat hy aan ons geleer het. Ek kan na boere toe gaan
en hierdie kennis met vertroue toepas.
Bautu Ngum
Ek het baie geleer om my begrip van die belangrikheid van
die masjien en sy onderdele te verbeter. Elke klein dingetjie
in die trekker moet versorg word en alle moere en boute moet
nagegaan en gesmeer word. Alles wat smering nodig het, moet
gesmeer word – of dit nou met olie of ghries is, dit moet gedoen
word. Geen foute moet gemaak word nie. Jou trekker is jou skat.
Gebruik dit goed.
Prakties: Een baie belangrike ding aan die praktiese kant van
die kursus was om te leer dat dit moontlik is om die tydstip te
bereken om te bepaal teen watter tempo ons moet werk. Dit is
belangrik wanneer jy kontrakteurswerk doen en geld vra. Ek het
ook baie oor die kalibrering van verskillende implemente geleer.
