My previous experiences have come from the Earth Moving Industry and then into Agriculture Industry. I have spent at least 5Years with Earthmoving and then  into the Agricultural sector another 7years.I have served my apprenticeship with Bell Equipment qualified with Bell Equipment at their very own trade centre in Richards Bay. During this period I was supervised by an artisan to all my tasks which included, servicing of machinery, stripping hydraulic components and mechanical components and assessing parts. I have also been exposed to the forestry division and that was at Afrequip.I attended breakdowns and also carried out servicing; hydraulic component stripping and repairing Aswell as mechanical component repairs.

I then spent my time at Farm Maintenance Services (FMS) where I gathered most of my experience on tractors. I was initially assigned as the head technician of the workshop. During my time at FMS I had managed to learn the products and was trained at Massey Ferguson training centre on the later models which were all electronic. I carried out field servicing on tractors; front axle overhauls; differential  overhauls; engine overhauls; gearbox overhauls; hydraulic component overhauls; brake overhauls; clutch overhauls and fitting accessories to the tractor. I also often carried out breakdowns. I have also worked on different brands  such as Kippor forklifts, generators, Kubota tractors and Polaris RTV/Side by Sides. There were alot of implements that we carried out services and mechanical repairs to such as planters; Gyro mowers; disc harrows, rippers etc.

I then moved to KZN Agriserve in which I gathered and got experience on the Landini and McCormick products. I carried out field servicing, repairs and scheduled jobs for customers.

I eventually pathed my self on my own adventure in which i became self - employed.
