John Deere Names 2026 Technician of the Year Finalists
John Deere has announced the finalists for its 2026 Technician of the Year Awards, with 30 regional finalists being named in five award categories.
Thanks to Brandt 'sTrade a Toy initiative, children across New Zealand will have the chance to trade in their old toys for a brand-new John Deere toy on Friday, October 3.
Brandt says its Trade A Toy is an exciting event where kids can bring in any used toy, no matter the size or brand and trade for a brand-new John Deere Toy.
Each Child will team up with a friendly Brandt staff member, who will complete an appraisal just like farmers trading in real- life equipment.
“All traded toys in good condition will be donated through playcentres and other organisations – spreading joy even further,” the company says.
For one day only - on Friday the 3rd of October between 9am - 12pm - kids can bring in their used toys and negotiate with Brandt’s friendly sales teams at any of their branches nationwide to get the best price to go towards a new John Deere toy. Only one toy can be traded per transaction.
