Mr. Ilham Wahab at Sidenreng Rappang, South Sulawesi
For some people, the community’s need for agricultural tools is an opportunity that cannot be missed. An opportunity to run a business that is a solution to these needs. This opportunity was taken by Pak Ilham, a man from Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap) who works as a tractor seller. At that time Pak Ilham, who was only 24 years old, decided to become a tractor seller in 2012. He continued his parent’s business, who is the only tractor seller, in Sidrap city since 1999. Pak Ilham did not just continue the family business. Armed with his mechanical knowledge, this was the main reason he decided to take over his parents’ tractor sales business.
“The tractor that I rented was damaged. Yes, it is understandable that they are often transferred. We can’t control how they use it, ”said Pak Ilham to the editorial team. Since then Pak Ilham has no longer served rental services, but only bought and sold tractors. Pak Ilham got tractor supplies from 2 places. Especially for the new tractors he got from Parepare, while the used tractors from Kendari. Apart from selling new tractors, Pak Ilham also sells used tractors. Thanks to his machining skills, he was always able to make sure that all the tractors he sold had trouble keeping up with the number of orders, especially those from Bone. It’s not that there is no supply, but he lacks the capital to buy tractors from Parepare and Kendari. Early 2015 Pak Ilham joined the KSP Sahabat Mitra Sejati. “It was 2015, Alhamdulillah, there were more orders, but I was confused about finding capital to buy a tractor. Uh, fortunately we met KSP Sahabat Mitra Sejati, ”Pak Ilham continued. Be in top condition. The machine skills he has are also an added value, because thanks to that Pak Ilham can provide after sales service, if there is a problem with the tractor he sells. This is also what causes sales of tractors to grow rapidly.
