Customer Testimonial
Meet Jos Gijzenberg, a dedicated farmer from Willcox, Arizona, originally hailing from Holland. His farming journey began in 2009, and over the years, he has expanded his potato cultivation significantly. In 2015, Jos ventured into the world of potato harvesting machinery, seeking higher capacity and efficiency.
Jos turned to APH Group, a leading supplier of turn-key solutions for professionals in the grain, potatoes, vegetables, and irrigation business worldwide. According to Ben Janknegt, Sales Director of Potato and Vegetable Equipment at APH Group, "Jos was in search of European machinery because his way of farming in the U.S was more suitable to the European system of potato growing."
After thorough discussions and utilizing Dewulf's online configurator, Jos decided on the state-of-the-art Enduro harvester. Ben explains, "We brought the machine on location, and we made sure that it was loaded in time. We delivered it to the place of the customer in this case Jos." The Enduro, equipped with innovative features like a larger hopper and sophisticated traction control, promised to revolutionize potato harvesting on his farm.
Jos reflects on APH Group's commitment, stating, "APH Group did a really good job, we had a good connection and good updates about the process of the manufacturing of the machine and the shipping." From configuring the machine to ordering spare parts, APH Group ensured every detail aligned with Jos's local circumstances.
Jos reflects on the harvest season, highlighting the Enduro's exceptional performance. He notes, "The machine was above expectations, quality-wise and capacity-wise. The Dewulf harvester did really good, so good that I already ordered the second one."
Jos commends the user-friendly design of the Enduro, with a quiet cab, excellent visibility, and advanced features like electronic traction control. He adds, "The cab is really silence, the view is really good, and of course with the cameras, you see inside the machine."
Jos emphasizes the suitability of the Enduro for high-value crops like mini potatoes. He states, "Yes, for Mini’s and I think for Bigs as well." The machine's tight configuration and ring elevator for quality impressed Jos, making it a preferred choice over U.S.-made alternatives.
Jos's journey with APH Group and the Dewulf Enduro showcases the power of tailored solutions. APH Group's dedication to customer intimacy and going the extra mile resulted in a successful harvest season for Jos's potato farm.
