Case IH partners with Meet the Need
Tractor manufacturer and distributor Case IH has announced a new partnership with Meet the Need, the grassroots, farmer-led charity working to tackle food insecurity across New Zealand one meal at a time.
This came after the New Zealand National Fieldays Society received the Case IH machinery as part of its sponsorship relationship with the agricultural machinery manufacturer.
The Farmall 50B, a brace of Farmall U110’s and the Farmlift 742 Telehandler will be used to support the society’s day-to-day operations at Mystery Creek Event Centre – including the maintenance of its 114-hectare property.
“We are thrilled to receive this machinery from our premier sponsor,” says New Zealand National Fieldays Society chief executive, Peter Nation. “This equipment will be of great assistance to us as we get the site ready for exhibitors to pack in for Fieldays, as well as maintaining our large site on a daily basis.”
Away from the major Fieldays event, the tractors and telehandler will be used to assist the operations team with seeding and mowing, sanding roads, flattening surfaces – as well as shifting and lifting heavy equipment and material around the event site.
“We are proud to support Fieldays by providing this machinery to help with their operations,” said Murray Grant, CNH Industrial Commercial business manager – New Zealand.
“We know these tractors and the telehandler will be valuable assets to the Society and provide invaluable support across a range of tasks.”
