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.
It will feature exhibitors promoting agriculture, hunting and fishing and four-wheel adventures going through.
A highlight will be the Kauri Coast 4wd Club running a four-wheel drive competition or 'mud drags' on a newly built track at the showgrounds. The new track includes side by side mud pools.
Glen Newlove from Kauri Coast 4wd Club says the race will start on Saturday with some "axle twisters", then through the mud pool and over a hump with logs on the top, then down into a berm at the back. The vehicles then turn around and come back. The vehicle will then swap sides and go again.
Newlove says the plan is to run some heats in the morning with the final taking place in the afternoon.
He says the organisers have done an awesome job constructing a course for them.
"We are hoping we are going to turn this into an annual event."

Newlove wants people to come along and watch the show. "We'll put on a great display for everybody. So, come along and support the Northland Field Days."
