Al-Ghazi: Plowing ahead

TPK Admin New Holland Tractors, News, Tractors , , , , , , ,

A subsidiary of the Al-Futtaim group of Dubai, Al-Ghazi Tractors Limited is a manufacturer of New Holland tractors in technical co-operation with Case New Holland, the foremost manufacturer of agricultural tractors in the world. Being a household name amongst the farming community, AGTL has a widespread presence across Pakistan, with as many as 82 dealers and 3,000 mechanical workshops spread all over the country. Following the fiasco that was last year, AGTLs half-yearly records show that the company is on the much firmer ground this time around. While 2011 started out on a great note -with Al-Ghazi managing to post a record profit of Rs972.8 million during 1QFY11, which was incidentally the highest since its inception- the following quarters saw a crash in the market following the sudden imposition of a 16 percent sales tax on agricultural equipment.

In the months to follow, AGTL, along with other tractor manufacturers, witnessed tractor sales plummet dangerously and had to suffer long stretches of the plant closure. Fast forward nearly a year, and the second quarter ended sales of nearly Rs4.6 billion- jumping 29 percent from the same period last year – are a testament to the fact that the company is back on track following its previous trajectory of success. Whereas a comparison with sales figures from the same period last year reveals unnaturally flattering growth statistics due to the low-base effect, a comparison of sales against the same period in 2010 reveals a healthy increase of 4 percent during the 2QFY12. However, a similar comparison between FY11 and FY12 at half-year draws negatives for 2012, mainly because of the exceptional first quarter that AGTL had in FY11 which saw them selling 8,602 tractors as compared to 6,004 that were delivered during the first quarter of FY12. Following the company’s initiative to engage pro-actively with farmers and introduce a newer version of agricultural implements, sales have gone up to Rs 7.9 billion at the half year-mark and the pent-up demand from last year means that they are likely to go up higher in the coming quarters.

With profit after taxation going up to Rs596 million versus Rs510 million that was recorded during the second quarter, earnings have climbed up to Rs13.88 per share as compared to an EPS of Rs 11.89 per share recorded at the close of 2QFY11. Looking forward, production and demand for the locally manufactured agricultural implements are likely to remain strong. During the first quarter, AGTL recorded bookings for 9,234 tractors, out of which it could produce only 4,350 units. Similarly, the Sindh government has also announced the launch of the 3rd leg of its rural incentive scheme which will see the distribution of 6,000 tractors among farmers at a subsidized rate. Subsequently, the backlog of orders and demand glut for tractors is therefore likely to keep the industry steady on its feet and AGTL thriving in the coming months.

Evolution Of Tractors: From Oxen To Machinery

TPK Admin Agriculture Farming, Mechanized Farming, News, Tractors , , , , ,
Tractors have become a very important part in the agriculture business as it is machine which needed for everyday use. In the beginning when tractors were not invented oxen and buffalo’s were used for ploughing the field and pulling heavy objects but this was very tiring for the person as well as the animals and the output was very low.
 
Since the tractors were invented lives of the farmers were made very easy as they didn’t have to do most of the heavy work as the tractor could do it with ease. The first tractors were introduced in the 19th century when steam engines were used to power the tractor, these were very useful and it was only the first step to make more advanced and heavy duty tractors.
 
Oxen to machinery
 
With the introduction of tractors cultivation and other farm work was made easy and it could be done at a higher speed thus
increasing the output. By the end of the 1860s the new and evolved form of tractor engines had been invented and it was widely used for agricultural purposes.
 
Steam powered tractors were a great innovation but it didn’t have enough power to operate in all sorts of conditions, in many places often a pair of tractors were used which would pull different implements together may be because it was too heavy for them. However steam powered tractors became a huge hit in the United States and it was used by many of the farmers. Steam powered tractors remained in use for a very long time until the 20th century when internal combustion engines were invented.
 
The first Gasoline powered tractor was introduced in 1892 by John Froelich. He used a Van Duzen single-cylinder gasoline engine was set on a Robinson engine chassis which could be controlled by a gear box. However his engine didn’t receive positive reviews and by 1895 he went out of business. The idea of a gas engine was not a failure and was adopted by many inventors, Dan Al bone who was a British inventor built the first successful gasoline powered engine in 1901 and when he filed a patent on 15 February 1902 and formed his agricultural company. 
 
Tractors have always been evolved and it was till 1926 when Harry Ferguson started his company called the Ferguson Brown Company. He later on accepted collaboration with ford and introduced a new line of Ford-Ferguson tractors.

Method and Benefits of Filling Water in the Tyres

TPK Admin Tractor Care Tips
The probability of tires to slip increases when the tractor is light and is operating on hard ground. It reduces the performance, which cause increases diesel consumption. Experiments show that proper tire grip on the surface, tractor performance increases by 10 to 25 percent. To increase the surface grip in the rear tires, filling water in the tires is recommended. Below is the method to fill water in the tires with a simple instrument.

Water Can Be Filled In the Tyre Using the Instrument

  • Raise the rear tires with the help of the jack, and raise the inflation valve to its highest position.
  • Remove the inflation valve from the tube’s nozzle and let the entire air out.
  • Now mount the water filling nut on the tube’s nozzle.
  • Connect the water filling tube to the tank as shown in the diagram. The water tank should be at least 5 feet above the instrument. Open the tank’s valve so water could flow in the tire’s tube.
  • Close the tank’s valve when the water starts to flow out the air pipe.
  • Detach the water filling instrument from the tire-tube and let the extra water flow out of it.
  • After the extra water is drained, place the inflation valve on the tube’s nozzle.
  • Inflate the tire to 12 – 14 psi.
1. Air 2. Pressurized entry of water in the tube 3. Pipe to fill water 4. Deflation pipe 5. Instrument shell
Precautions

  • In places where temperature falls to freezing point or below, NEVER water in the tires or mix Calcium Chloride in the water to fill in the tires.
  • Fill water in the tire at a place where there is a facility to inflate the tire with air too.
  • If water filled tires need to removed, then remove the water first and then remove the tire from the tyre first and than remove the tyre from the tractor. Otherise the heavy tyre will damage stud threads used to fasten the wheels.
 

Proper Air Pressure in the Tyres and its Importance

TPK Admin Tractor Care Tips
In order to get proper performance out of the tractor, the proper air pressure in the tires is very important because engine power is wasted when the air pressure is low or high, and required productivity is not obtained, either. It is important for every tractor owner to have an air gauge and a manual air pump handy.  Improper air pressure can cause the following harm:

  • Tire life is reduced and these crack at the sides.
  • It causes unnecessary load on the engine which overheats the engine.
  • The tractor emits smoke and does not pull well.
  • Diesel consumption is increased and time is wasted as well.
  • Parts of the field remain un-ploughed.
  • Rear tires slip during operation, which causes more wear out.
Use the instructions below to maintain proper air pressure in  Massey Ferguson tractors

MF-385 4WD 12 psi 18 psi 12 psi 18 psi

VERY IMPORTANT

If there is additional load on the front part of the tractor, as the front-end loader or front blade is used, inflate the front tires to 40 psi. Using oil or grease to clean the tires reduces their life. Water is sufficient to clean these.

Battery Care of John Deere, New Holland and Massey Ferguson Tractor

TPK Admin Tractor Care Tips
Maximum benefit can be obtained from the battery by following the instructions described below.

  • The tractor battery should never be used without the ‘bracket’; otherwise the battery could be damaged. Secure the battery clips tightly.
  • If there is white or blue substance on the battery terminals, wash the terminals with warm water and dry; and apply some petroleum jelly.
  • Remove all Vent Plugs of the battery and then look in each cell to see whether the plates are submerged in the battery solution or not. If not, then fill with distilled water up to the ‘Max’ point.
  • Before replacing the caps, check to make sure the Vent Holes on them are not closed; because the battery could be harmed if the holes are closed.
  • Never use hammer or heavy object to push wire clamps on the terminals. Otherwise, the battery will be ruined very soon.
  • The battery wires should never be loose. Otherwise, starting the tractor will be difficult.
  • Replace the faulty wire and/or clamps

Often farmers leave the engine running during meal breaks when the battery is weak, which wastes a lot of diesel. The tractor battery should always be well charged, because high power is required to start the engine. If the battery does not have the required power, the engine starts with difficulty, which also wastes diesel.
