Growing machines expands Mallee Machinery Field Days site at Speed

07 August 2024

This year’s annual Mallee Machinery Field Days at Speed showcased agricultural and lifestyle products and services to about 6000 people across the two-day event last week.

Event secretary Matt Brady said organisers were pleased with the crowd and the exhibitors, including the headlining autonomous tractor.

“The tractor was one of the most popular demonstrations,” Mr Brady said.

“We have found that sites are getting a lot bigger and exhibitors are booking multiple sites to show machinery.

“Construction has snuck into agriculture and looks to be there to stay – there was plenty of interest in bulldozers and earthmoving, landholders are doing things such as cleaning up dams and channels, and making on-property allowances for bigger farming machinery.”

Mr Brady said organisers were already looking ahead to next year’s event.

“Next year we are looking at having exhibits of chainsaws and caravans,” he said.
