Shearing legend hooked on CanAm
Sir David Fagan, world-renowned competitive sheep shearer with 642 shearing titles worldwide and a knighthood to his name, now runs beef and dairy operations near Te Kuiti with wife Wendy and son Jack.
Built tough to tackle all conditions, the HD 10 has 82 hp/69 lb-ft torque, powered by a Rotax engine, mated to the Pro-Torq CVT transmission that also provides improved cooling and electronic belt protection for increased durability.
Selectable Turf Mode/ 2WD/ 4WD with Visco- Lok† auto-locking front differential allows users to customise the machine for different terrains or conditions. Capable of towing tow up to 1,134kg (2,500lbs) and with a payload of 680kg (1,499lbs), the HD10 also offers multiple storage options available from the bed tool-box to an under-seat area, as well as an option to purchase a gas assisted tilt bed for seamless unloading.
The Defender also offers a 200-hour service interval, twice that of other machines in its class, said to give users peace of mind that their units will do what they need them to do day in, day out.
Featuring Versa-Pro bench seats, the passenger seats flip up allowing for cargo to be transported within the protection of the cab, and it has adjustable tilt steering. The Defender offers an intuitive cockpit with optimised visibility and additional lateral support, ensuring effortless hopping in and out.
A range of options includes windscreen defrosting and heating for those cold winter mornings. There are also multiple audio options available including a waterproof audio roof.
For those looking for a quad bike format, the Can-Am Outlander PRO has seen a development journey that began 6 years ago when the Can-Am Global ATV product team visited New Zealand to gather insights and local input from farmers, service centres and dealerships
Outlander PRO features the new Rotax single cylinder engine with horsepower and torque up to 50hp/41lbft, delivering the extra power necessary to navigate the tough New Zealand terrain. The integrated transmission offers less strain on the belt and lower running temperatures, helping to improve durability, alongside precise ease of shifting of multiple front differential modes.
A speed limiter switch helps set a constant pace while spraying, and utility bumpers and 6-ply tyres provide added protection. Designed with the rider in mind, comfortable ergonomics and a smooth ride are complemented by an extremely low centre of gravity, giving increased confidence and safe operation.
