Bell has quite an interesting history. The 3 wheeler was originally developed as a machine to handle sugar cane, the also built tractors to pull the cane wagons. During the sanctions against South Africa the couldn't get heavy equipment so Bell developed the Articulated trucks and front end loaders, then to provide customer service the put mechanics in helicopters when the distances and road conditions were too difficult. Bell ended up with close to 80% of the loader, truck and three wheeler market. Paul Bell spearheaded the development of the three wheeler into a feller buncher for the logging industry, then put it on tracks for rough terrain and swamps. South Africa also had a great apprentice program for mechanics. The apprentice had to take training and work in the industry, they had to pass exams and be certified in power train, hydraulics, electrical, welding, and troubleshooting. Once the mechanic, now a technician had his papers he could work any where and the employer knew by the papers that he was qualified. The USA could learn something there.
