Experience latest farm machinery at our kit handling day
Following the success of our Farm Handling Experience in April, we are giving farmers and contractors a chance on Wednesday 9 December to try out some kit they probably haven’t experienced before.
Why are we doing it?
Getting a chance to try farm machinery before you buy it is always difficult.
Your local dealer may have the model that you want to try out but frequently he won’t.
Usually you just have to take a chance that the machine will be right for you.
Back in April, we got most of the telehandler makers to bring along their machines to a national day that allowed farmers and contractors to try them out in a real-life situation.

Following the success of that event, we’re giving farmers in the South West the chance to view and use a variety of machines that they may not have tried before.
When and where does it take place?
Date: 8am-4pm on 9 December 2015.
Venue: Frogmary Green Farm, South Petherton, Somerset TA13 5DJ.
Entry is free.
How does it work?
You don’t need to register beforehand and can turn up on the day. If you have your handler certificate, bring that with you.
If you haven’t, you will be asked to do a short test on the day. Each demo will be 20-30 minutes long.
What machines will be there?
