6478 ways to help Africa

Visitors to the Valtra stand at Agritechnica last November had the chance to use their creativity and help Africa at the same time.

The centrepiece of the stand was the new N113 HiTech tractor, which visitors could customise to their liking by adding their fingerprints and signatures in paint. Almost 6500 people took the opportunity to leave their mark.

Auction day: 24th May

The customised "fingerprint"-tractor will be sold on Thursday May 24 by Ritchie Bros. at their auction site in Meppen, Germany. There are three options to participate in the auction:

Charity project details

Giving visitors to Agritechnica the chance to sign and mark the tractor with their own fingerprints is not only a way to create a unique tractor, but also an opportunity to help develop agriculture in Africa.

The tractor will be auctioned off after Agritechnica, and the proceeds will go towards supporting the Weiveld Agriculture School in South Africa.

The school offers studies in agriculture, technology, hotel and restaurant management, and data processing to approximately 600 students.

Valtra will donate an A93 HiTech tractor for the school’s use alongside tools and material for technical training.With this donation Valtra wants to help support expertise in agricultural machinery and develop training in this field.

Together with the local importer Valtra is also committed to develop and support mechanics to work on local farms and dealerships and ensure continuity of agriculture education on the local community.
