Market leading side-by-side to be displayed
Can-Am will be using the upcoming Northland Field Days (Stand E6) to give farmers the opportunity to see the Defender HD 10 for themselves.
Preparations for the three-day Northland Field Days are progressing smoothly, says president John Phillips.
He expects around 300 exhibitors, about the same number as last year.
However, he says some exhibitors, like Norwood, are buying a bigger site this year.
Highlights this year include a small maze within a maize field. Phillips says the new attractions should be popular with kids and adults alike
Over 24 food vendors are locked in to keep visitors fed during the field days. The Civil Contractors of NZ will be on site, encouraging young people to make a career in civil contracting.
