Who We Are

My love for farming and my absolute passion for equipment, was part of the reason why I left our successful family farming operation in South Africa and relocated to the USA about three years ago.

To be closer to the US used agricultural equipment market with which I’ve been dealing with for over 20 years, made it easier to negotiate on better prices and equipment, in order to fulfill my customer’s needs. We’ve established a good relationship over the years with container loaders, shipping freight forwarders and dealerships in order to deliver the full circle of events.

Being a fulltime farmer myself, and with a mechanical mindset, made it easier to understand my customer’s needs. Being able to speak English and Afrikaans also makes it easier to deal with South African customers. We will always strive to do as our logo states: Doing the right thing, RIGHT.

What We Do

We source equipment, according to customer preferences, inspect, negotiate on price and finalize the transaction if both, buyer and seller, are happy. Arrange for local trucking, container loading, shipping, insurance, custom clearance, import permits and delivery at customer’s location. We also arrange for foreign funds transfer, in order to make buying equipment in the US, easier.

We do all brands in the agricultural sector as well as some construction equipment. Specializing in combines, headers, large square balers, tillage tools, etc.

“Nic just sent me my 40th invoice, and I pay it with a smile. Would you keep on importing equipment, if it wasn’t this easy to work with Nextep? I think that says it al…

Nextep is a huge asset to my farming operation regarding equipment replacement and upgrades. One I don’t want to farm without.”

– Petrus Roux, Kromvlei Farm, Hoopstad

“Absolute pleasure working with Nic at Nextep. Imported several machines through Nextep, and received only the best possible service. Great to have a direct line of communication with Nic that arranges everything from start to finish.

Definitely a company I don’t want to farm without, as Nextep plays a crucial role in my equipment replacement program.”

– CJ Hattingh Boerdery, Bethlehem, Free State

“The product looked better than what was showcased in the pictures. Nic really selected an excellent option for us, and we got an even better machine than we expected. Business with Nic is always easy and honest.

I strongly recommend other farmers to speak to Nic before purchasing any new equipment in South Africa. He really made the world feel smaller by bringing the used equipment market closer to us. The best part is that the whole process was handled in Afrikaans, until the port authority called us and said that our machine had arrived, in English!!”

– Tienie Prinsloo, Hoopstad

“As a part of the farming industry, we are privileged to do business with Nextep. Nic is not only a business partner but has also become a good friend of mine. The business we have done with Nic over the years has been very professional, and he has saved our farming operation a lot of money whilst providing us with good advice. We are looking forward to utilising Nextep for future imports.”

– Soois Verster, Luckhoff

He has opened doors that have changed the negative connection with importing equipment into an easy experience. I recommend Nextep to anyone looking to fulfil their import needs. It worked for me…”

It is easy for me to attain any type of equipment for my farming needs at an affordable price and at a timely manner. Working with Nic took my farm to the “nextep”, with efficiency and productivity. Thanks for the excellent service, Nic!”
