Evidence garnered from a year of experimentation has proven that the articulated tractor technology is better suited to prepare fields for mechanised harvesting when compared to the fixed frame technology, says GuySuCo in a rebuke to a group that said otherwise.
In the past year, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) was criticized for its decision to purchase articulated tractors instead of fixed-framed John Deere ones, which were being pushed by an unnamed but “well-connected minority”. In the last year, the group which GuySuCo described as “sugar charlatans”, accused the Corporation of disregarding a recommendation to procure fixed-framed tractors over articulated ones.
