Fieldays 2026: A measure of cost, capability and direction

Every June, the rural calendar pulls the industry north to Fieldays at Mystery Creek and while the scale and spectacle of the event remains a constant, the context in which it sits continues to shift.

Fieldays has always been more than a showcase. It is a pressure gauge for the sector. It reflects where confidence sits, where investment is heading and how farmers and contractors are responding to the realities in front of them. That makes this year’s event particularly relevant, because the backdrop is once again tightening.

One of the most immediate pressures being felt across the country is the increased cost of diesel. For contractors running high-hour machinery programmes and for farmers managing cultivation, drilling and transport, fuel is not a marginal cost. It is a core input. Every additional cent per litre flows directly through to operating costs and, in many cases, it cannot simply be passed on.

That changes the way decisions are made.

It sharpens the focus on efficiency. It puts greater weight on machine selection. It raises the importance of technology that can reduce overlap, improve application accuracy and ultimately cut unnecessary passes across the paddock. And it reinforces the value of reliability, because downtime under tight weather windows becomes even more expensive when every hour of operation carries a higher cost.

That is where Fieldays continues to hold its relevance. It is one of the few places where the full spectrum of the industry is brought together, from large-scale machinery and emerging technology through to finance, advocacy and workforce development. It allows farmers and contractors to step back from the day-to-day and assess what is changing, what is worth investing in and what will actually deliver in New Zealand conditions.

Looking back at recent events, the themes have been consistent. Innovation remains front and centre, whether through developments in drone technology, the continued evolution of precision agriculture or the growing presence of agritech businesses looking to solve practical problems on-farm. At the same time, there has been a strong emphasis on people, reinforcing that the sector’s future depends as much on capability as it does on machinery.

Those themes are only becoming more pronounced.

The technology on display continues to move quickly, but the conversation around it is becoming more grounded. Farmers and contractors are less interested in what technology can do in theory and more focused on what it delivers in practice. Does it save time? Does it reduce cost? Does it make the job easier or more consistent? Those are the questions that will be asked across the site this year.

At the same time, the structure of the event itself continues to evolve. Feature hubs, such as innovation spaces, careers and education areas, and advocacy platforms have become key anchors within the site, creating spaces where visitors can engage more deeply with specific parts of the industry rather than simply walking past a stand. That reflects a broader shift in how Fieldays is experienced, moving from a purely transactional environment to one that also supports learning, discussion and connection.

This year’s spotlight on wool is another example of that approach, bringing renewed attention to a product that has long been part of New Zealand’s identity but is now being re-examined through the lens of sustainability and innovation. It is a reminder that while new technology continues to drive the sector forward, there is also value in revisiting existing resources and finding new ways to use them.

For contractors in particular, Fieldays remains a critical touchpoint. It is where machinery decisions are influenced, where relationships with suppliers are strengthened and where a sense of direction for the season ahead begins to form. With diesel costs reaching dizzying heights and margins under pressure, those decisions carry even more weight this year.

It also comes at a time when the pace of change across the sector shows little sign of slowing. Regulation, environmental expectations and market demands continue to evolve and while those factors may not always be front of mind when walking through a machinery site, they sit behind many of the decisions being made.

What Fieldays offers and continues to offer, is perspective.

It brings together the full picture of the industry in one place. It allows farmers and contractors to compare, question and reassess. And it provides a reminder that while the challenges are real, so too is the level of innovation and capability within the sector.

As the industry gathers again at Mystery Creek this June, the conversations are likely to be shaped by cost, efficiency and resilience. But as always, they will also be shaped by opportunity.

Because beneath the pressure, there remains a constant drive to improve, to adapt and to find better ways of doing the job. And that is what Fieldays at its best, continues to represent

Precision Cultivation

As fuel prices continue to rise and contractors face increasing pressure to cover more ground in tighter seasonal windows, efficiency has become one of the biggest drivers of machinery investment decisions.

For Precision Cultivation, the focus has always been on building practical solutions for real New Zealand farming conditions.

Designed in New Zealand and built in Palmerston North by McIntosh Farm Machinery, Precision Cultivation’s strip tillage machines are engineered specifically for local conditions – from wet paddocks through to stony ground. The company’s patented technology has been developed with direct input from farming and contracting experience, resulting in machines designed to reduce passes, lower running costs and improve establishment outcomes.

The range now includes four models operating across New Zealand, with machines also exporting into Australia. One standout in the lineup is the P6050F – a 12-row, 500 mm spacing machine that Precision Cultivation says is currently the only powered strip till machine of its kind in the world.

Thanks to its patented design and lower horsepower draw, contractors can achieve high output without requiring excessive tractor power.

The machine layout itself has been designed to improve performance in difficult conditions.

Subsoiler legs are positioned ahead of the tunnel, lifting and lowering the soil to create a horizontal shattering effect that helps eliminate compaction and improve root development. Disc coulters cut through vegetation cleanly, while the tunnel system allows soil to flow smoothly, even in moist conditions.

For Canterbury contractor Danny Walker, from Canterbury Strip Till, those design features have made a noticeable difference in day-to-day operation.

“I’ve used other machines, and they all have their pros and cons,” Walker explains. “But this one stands out because of its design. With the legs up front, it handles tougher ground with ease, which means I can get straight into the areas that are ready, instead of waiting around.”

After six seasons running Precision Cultivation strip tillage machines, Walker says lower running costs have become one of the biggest advantages.

“With some other brands you’re replacing blades every 100 to 200 hectares. With this, I’ll do 500 hectares on a set. That adds up when you’re covering big areas.”

Reducing passes is another major benefit. Precision Cultivation machines are designed to minimise cultivation requirements, helping reduce fuel use, labour hours and overall wear on machinery. According to company figures, growers can reduce establishment costs compared to conventional multi-pass systems while also increasing hectares covered per engine hour.

Support and reliability also remain critical during peak seasonal periods.

“If I need points, blades – whatever it is – they get it sorted quickly,” Walker says. “That kind of support makes all the difference when you’re working to tight seasonal windows and have farmers relying on you.”

With increasing focus on profitability, fuel efficiency and soil structure preservation, strip tillage continues to gain momentum across New Zealand farming systems. For Precision Cultivation, the goal is simple: build tough, practical machinery that performs in Kiwi conditions and helps contractors and growers work smarter.

Maschio Gasparado

There is a point in any cultivation programme where refinement becomes the priority rather than outright disturbance, and it is in that space that the power harrow continues to hold its place.

For many operations, particularly those working across mixed soil types or under tighter weather windows, the ability to create a consistent, level seedbed in a single pass remains critical, and it is here that the Maschio Gaspardo Super power harrow range is designed to operate.

At the core of the Super range is a clear focus on strength, driveline efficiency and long-term durability. These are not light-duty implements dressed up for bigger tractors. They are built around a heavy-duty construction philosophy that reflects the increasing horsepower now common across New Zealand fleets, and the expectation that machines will perform consistently under load.

A defining feature across the Super models is the double-skin trough construction, with an internal thickness of around 6 mm and an external skin of approximately 5 mm. This design significantly increases rigidity without a major weight penalty, reducing torsional stress through the frame and allowing the machine to maintain consistent working depth and rotor alignment under pressure.

For operators, that translates directly into a more even finish and less variation across the working width, particularly in harder or variable soils.

The driveline is equally deliberate in its design. Maschio uses large-diameter, case-hardened gears running in an oil bath, with helical gear profiles increasing the contact surface area and reducing backlash within the transmission.

The practical effect of this is smoother power transfer from the PTO to the rotor system, reduced vibration and, importantly, lower parasitic losses. In a working environment where fuel efficiency is increasingly under scrutiny, particularly with diesel costs continuing to fluctuate, that reduction in internal friction is not just theoretical, it contributes to real operational savings.

Rotor stability is another area where the Super range differentiates itself. The use of upper and lower bearing positioning around the gear system spreads load more evenly and reduces stress on individual components.

Combined with rotor shafts forged from a single piece of hardened steel, this creates a system that is designed to handle sustained high loads without premature wear. It also supports consistent tine engagement, which is critical for achieving uniform soil refinement.

Across the range, tine performance is central to the end result. The Super models typically run long forged boron steel tines, often around the 30 cm mark, designed to penetrate and mix soil effectively while maintaining durability.

Options such as tungsten carbide coating extend service life further, particularly in abrasive conditions, while quick-release systems reduce downtime when replacement is required. In a contracting environment where time lost to maintenance can quickly erode margins, that ease of service becomes a practical advantage.

Working depth across the Super range typically extends to around 26–28 cm depending on the model, placing these machines firmly in the category of intensive secondary cultivation. That depth, combined with high rotor speeds, allows for effective clod breakdown and soil levelling, creating a seedbed that supports even germination and crop establishment.

The range itself is broad, covering multiple sizes and power requirements. Models such as the Falco Super sit at the more compact end, with working widths from around 3.6 to 5 m and power requirements in the 110–240 hp bracket, making them suitable for mid-range tractors and mixed farming operations.

Moving up through the range, machines such as the Gabbiano Super and Aquila Super extend working widths to 4–6 m and require up to 350 hp, aligning with larger arable and contracting setups.

At the top end, folding models such as the Toro Super Rapido and Jumbo Super push working widths out to 7–8 m and beyond, with power requirements reaching up to 400 hp and, in some cases, higher.

These machines are clearly designed for large-scale operations where output per hour is critical, and where the ability to cover ground quickly without compromising finish is a key driver.

Folding frame design within the Super range is engineered with both strength and practicality in mind. Additional hinges and reinforced structures are used to prevent long-term deformation, while features such as drainage points reduce soil build-up around key components minimising overheating and maintaining smooth folding operation.

These details contribute to reliability over time, particularly in heavy soils or wet conditions where debris accumulation can become an issue.

Cooling within the driveline is another area of focus, particularly on larger models. Gearbox overheating is a known challenge in high-intensity harrowing, and systems such as integrated cooling fins and optional oil recirculation help manage temperatures under sustained load.

This is less about headline features and more about ensuring the machine can maintain performance across long working days.

Rear roller configuration plays a significant role in finishing quality and the Super range offers a wide selection including cage, packer, combipacker and spiral designs. The choice here allows operators to match the machine to soil type and desired finish, whether that is a finer tilth for small seeds or a more consolidated surface to retain moisture.

Integration with seeding equipment is another practical advantage. Many Super models are designed to operate in combination with seed drills, allowing cultivation and planting to be completed in a single pass.

This reduces fuel use, labour requirements and soil compaction while improving timeliness, all factors that are increasingly important under both cost and environmental pressures.

What becomes clear when looking across the Maschio Gaspardo Super power harrow range is that the focus is not on a single standout feature, but on how each component contributes to overall performance.

Frame strength, driveline efficiency, rotor stability and serviceability are all built into the design, reflecting the realities of modern farming, where machines are expected to work harder, for longer and with greater precision.

In practical terms, that means consistent seedbed preparation, reduced downtime and a machine that can match the capability of today’s higher horsepower tractors.

With a new 2026 model, Aquila Super, set to feature at Fieldays, it also gives contractors and growers the opportunity to get up close with the build quality and engineering detail that underpins that performance and to assess where it fits within their own cultivation systems as pressure continues to build on both cost and efficiency.

FarmChief Machinery

Rhino Mixer Diet Feeder Wagon

There is a growing expectation in modern livestock systems that feeding is no longer just a daily task, it is a controlled process that directly influences production, efficiency and ultimately profitability. That shift has placed increased focus on mixer feeder wagons, particularly those
capable of delivering consistent, repeatable rations across larger herds and more intensive systems. It is into that space that the FarmChief Rhino diet feeder sits and, as Fieldays approaches, it is a machine that reflects where feedout technology is heading in New Zealand.

Before getting into the mixing system, one of the more practical and immediate advantages of the Rhino sits in its overall design, particularly its height to capacity ratio. This is an area that is often overlooked until it becomes a problem. In many cases operators invest in a high-capacity
wagon only to find that it requires a telehandler to load it effectively, adding another layer of cost to what is already a significant capital investment.

The Rhino addresses that issue directly. Its lower overall height, combined with a wider tub design means it can be loaded using existing equipment, most commonly a tractor with a front-end loader. In practical terms that removes the need for additional machinery purely to support the feedout system, which is a meaningful consideration when total investment is being closely scrutinised.

That design is not accidental. By transporting the wagon in containers on its side, FarmChief has been able to work within shipping constraints while rethinking the proportions of the machine. Shipping containers are taller than they are wide, so positioning the Rhino on its side allows the
tub to be built wider without increasing overall height or extending the length of the wagon. The result is a machine that maintains strong capacity while remaining practical to load and operate within existing farm setups.

Importantly, that approach does not come at the expense of performance. A longer wagon can reduce mixing efficiency, particularly with vertical auger systems, where material needs to be continuously lifted and folded to achieve a consistent ration. By keeping the machine shorter and wider, the Rhino maintains an effective mixing environment, supporting a complete and uniform blend rather than compromising for the sake of volume.

At its core the Rhino is built around one of the most critical elements of any diet feeder, the mixing system. The use of dual vertical augers is not new in itself, but the execution here is clearly aimed at delivering a consistent and aggressive mix across a wide range of feed types.
The augers are designed to process everything from long fibre hay and straw through to baleage and additives, creating a uniform ration that is essential for maintaining animal health and production.

What stands out is the geometry of the augers and the way they move material through the tub. The figure eight mixing action is designed to lift, fold and reintroduce material continuously rather than simply turning it. In practical terms, that means less sorting at the feed face and a
more even intake across the herd. For operations pushing production that consistency is not a nice to have, it is fundamental.

The construction behind that system reinforces the same message. With heavy duty augers built from high grade steel and a reinforced tub structure, the Rhino is clearly designed for longevity in demanding conditions. New Zealand feedout systems are not always gentle environments, with heavy silage, variable material quality and often challenging underfoot conditions. Machines that cannot handle that workload tend to show it quickly, and durability becomes a key part of the equation.

Capacity remains a defining feature, with models extending into the larger cubic metre range, positioning the Rhino firmly within the medium-to large scale-bracket. It is a machine designed for operations where volume matters, but where that volume still needs to be managed efficiently within the constraints of existing infrastructure.

Power requirement is another area where the Rhino shows a clear understanding of the New Zealand market. Despite its capacity and aggressive mixing capability, the machine is designed to operate with relatively modest horsepower. That allows a wider range of tractors to be
utilised, rather than requiring a dedicated high horsepower unit.

That has two immediate benefits. The first is fuel efficiency, particularly over a long feeding season where hours quickly add up. The second is flexibility within a fleet, allowing existing tractors to be used rather than tying up a larger unit. In a contracting environment or larger farming operation, that flexibility can have a direct impact on overall system efficiency.

Feed delivery is equally important, and here the Rhino offers a level of configurability that reflects the variety of feeding systems used across the country. Conveyor options, chute placement and discharge configurations can all be tailored to suit different setups, whether that is feeding into troughs, along feed pads or into more confined areas where access needs to be managed carefully.

The ability to adjust conveyor length and control feedout accurately adds another layer of practicality. It allows operators to place feed where it needs to go without excessive manoeuvring, which in turn reduces time and wear on both the machine and the tractor.

Where the Rhino moves beyond traditional feedout is in the integration of weighing and control systems. Modern diet feeders are as much about data as they are about physical performance, and the inclusion of programmable weighing systems reflects that shift. Operators can set
recipes, monitor ingredient use and track consumption, all of which contribute to more precise feeding and better utilisation of feed resources.

The option to integrate digital control and monitoring further extends that capability. It allows feeding to be managed with a level of oversight that was not possible in older systems, particularly in larger operations where multiple operators may be involved. It also provides a clear record of what has been fed and when, which is becoming increasingly important in both production and compliance contexts.

From a Fieldays perspective, the Rhino sits in a category that continues to gain attention. Feedout is no longer a secondary consideration, it is central to how many farms are managing production, particularly in dairy and intensive livestock systems. The ability to deliver a consistent ration, reduce wastage and improve feed conversion is directly linked to profitability, and that is where machines like this are positioned.

In terms of positioning, the Rhino is not trying to be everything to everyone. It is clearly aimed at medium to larger operations, where the scale of feeding justifies the investment and where the benefits of consistent mixing, efficient loading and practical integration into existing systems
can be fully realised.
