How did one old dozer lead to a South African agricultural equipment manufacturing business? Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers' story started with contracting, building roads, and dams before expanding into land preparation, maize planting, silage, and slurry work. When existing equipment struggled with their demanding local conditions, they began modifying — and eventually manufacturing — their own. Today they build trailers, tankers, strip tillers, inline rippers, land rollers and more, with products tested through their own contracting operation before reaching the market. 🌐 www.jedidiahequipment.co.za #JedidiahEquipmentAndTrailers #FarmEquipment #FarmSpace #OnsPraatBoer 00:00 Intro 00:27 How Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers started 00:59 The first dozer that started the journey 01:22 From roads and dams to a growing contracting business 02:14 Moving into agricultural contracting 02:42 Civil, dam building, roads, and slurry work 03:00 Why equipment maintenance is so important 04:02 The pressure of an 8–10 week silage season 05:00 How JET started modifying farm equipment 05:43 Why existing equipment wasn’t suited to local conditions 06:14 From modifications to manufacturing their own equipment 06:47 In-house testing and product development 07:06 What equipment does JET manufacture? 07:20 The new sugarcane trailer 07:28 Tankers, strip tillers, rippers, rollers, and bale spikes 07:51 Testing equipment before selling it 08:11 Why JET is bright yellow 08:43 Where to find Jedidiah Equipment & Trailers 09:09 Closing
