Articulated Tractors Helping the African Agricultural Industry Improve and Produce

In the agricultural industry, tractors are essential. Over the years, different models and designs have emerged, all of which have brought about greater productivity in the industry. Along the way, articulated tractors appeared on the market and they have been exceptionally useful ever since. It is an undeniable fact that agriculture in Africa is under pressure to perform and provide.

As populations grow, so must the agricultural sector, and this means that equipment and machinery that were once adequate to keep up with growing demand simply cannot anymore. Now there is increased food demand with each passing year and it is up to those involved in the industry to produce larger crops to meet the demand. It is an overwhelming task, but one that can be more effectively managed with efficient articulated tractors.

Unlike the equipment of yesteryear, articulated tractors such as those from the Bell range provide advanced new options. These articulated diesel tractors are powerful and differ in a number of ways from traditional tractors. The feature that distinguishes them is their articulated design. Essentially, this means that the rear section and the cab of the tractor move independently of each other, because the tractor swivels in the middle. Each unit also offers 4-wheel drive and same-size wheels all around.

The Bell range is jam-packed with practical options for the agricultural industry. There are seven models to choose from, starting with the 4,8-litre 2304E, which is considered an entry-level model, although we would say that it punches above its weight. One rung up the ladder is the 2806E with 205 kW of gross power. Next in line is the 4206D with 315 kW of gross power. The remaining models are the B35D Hauler (295 kW gross), the B40D Hauler (335 kW gross), the B45D Hauler (375 kW gross) and finally the B50 Hauler, with the same 375 kW gross power as the B45D.

Throughout the agricultural industry, the articulated tractors in the Bell catalogue are frequently rated as the best in their class, and it is not difficult to see why they have such an avid following. When it comes to off-road handling ability combined with exemplary driver comfort, the articulated tractor range from Bell is certainly hard to beat or even match.

The agricultural sector is forever in need of equipment to handle rough, uneven, and sometimes extremely harsh terrain. This is no challenge for the Bell range and given that they feature a relatively lightweight design, it is impressive to note how smooth the ride remains, regardless of the terrain. And with a 6-speed transmission and the ability to travel up to 50 km/h, you stand to be impressed on all levels.
