Reaching major milestones is always worth celebrating, especially when they represent years of hard work, strong partnerships, and trust from customers across the region.
AFGRI Equipment is proud to celebrate the delivery of our 200th John Deere TLB, with this milestone machine finding its new home in Marble Hall, Limpopo.
This achievement marks an exciting moment not only for AFGRI Equipment but also for our long-standing partnership with John Deere in the construction and earthmoving industry.
A Journey That Started Five Years Ago
Just five years ago, AFGRI Equipment began expanding its footprint in the construction and forestry equipment space. At the time, the focus was clear: bring trusted machinery, expert advice, and dependable support to contractors, farmers, and businesses across Southern Africa.
Today, reaching the 200 TLB milestone is a powerful reflection of how far we’ve come.
Over the past five years, these machines have been delivered to customers across towns, construction sites, farms, and infrastructure projects throughout the region. Each delivery represents a partnership built on reliability, service, and the shared goal of keeping operations moving.
Why a TLB Remains a Trusted Workhorse
