New Zealand-designed and built, Taege continues to innovate. As well as Taege’s award-winning design with its patented tyne angle, this year saw the release of the new
ground breaking 4.8-metre air tyne drill.
Massey Ferguson
Celebrating 60 years in New Zealand, the Massey Ferguson site was beautifully set up in recognition of the brand’s progress and history. With a Massey Ferguson 35 on display alongside the new models, and a host of merchandise available, it was a fitting tribute to the iconic brand.
Fendt
The eye-catching Fendt 1050 Vario was well drooled over at Fieldays. Boasting a massive 500hp, it is part of the Fendt 1000 Series (380–500 hp).
Valtra
The new Valtra T4 Series was part of the AGCO line-up at this year’s Fieldays. Offering six new models, the T4 series ranges from 155hp to 235hp and boasts a completely new design from the ground up.

Case IH
With a huge display of tractors and machinery on-site, the massive Case IH 175 was clearly the star of the show. This limited edition model painted in Dodge Viper red is one of just nine in New Zealand. The remainder are in Europe where they were created to celebrate 175 years of Case IH.
Origin Agroup Ltd
