With the price of guidance systems dropping like a stone over the last decade and substantial falls in the last 12 months, several nonmainstream brands have appeared in the marketplace.

Manufactured at its Suolahti factory in Finland, Valtra has released the sixth-generation S-Series tractor range for Australia and New Zealand.

Released in Europe in 2024 and having just arrived in time for National Fieldays, Giltrap Agrizone will be exhibiting two new machines from Irish manufacturer Malone Farm Machinery.

Irish Machinery manufacturer Abbey Machinery will be exhibiting on the Enterprise Ireland stand with longstanding partner and distributor Farmgard.

Designed and assembled by David Short, a farmer and former shearer, Handypiece is a cordless shearing handpiece for portable shearing and tail trimming, powered by a long-life, rechargeable lithium battery.

Recently released in New Zealand and a sponsor of New Zealand Fieldays, the JAC (“Jack”) T9’s positioning as a reliable workhorse for Kiwi tradies has been reinforced by the remarkable achievement overseas that shattered a 24-hour Endurance Record for commercial vehicles.

Having taken over the distribution of the JCB Agricultural product range early in the New Year to complement the JCB Industrial portfolio it already supports, Power Farming will be using Fieldays to highlight the latest Fastrac Icon Series.

Showcasing a legacy of innovation and cheap deals on product lines will be the feature of Afimilk’s site at the National Fieldays this month.

Just when you thought there wasn’t enough choices for a ute, Kia New Zealand has announced pricing for one of the most eagerly anticipated new model launches of 2025.

John Deere has announced new automation and efficiency updates on its 2026 model combine harvesters that provide more capabilities and boost productivity by up to 20%.
