Best in the west

One of Australia’s biggest field days returned with a bang after being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thousands of visitors flocked to the Dowerin Machinery Field Days in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt region on August 25–26 and saw what a wide range of machinery operators had to showcase.

Here are some of the products which were on display around the field days site.

John Deere

John Deere dealer AFGRI Equipment had several of the brand’s latest releases on display during the Field Days.

These included a new 9RX 590 tractor, 8RX 370 tractor, C650 air cart and an S780 combine harvester on tracks with a new HD40R hinged draper with rigid cutterbar.

The 9RX 590 is a 4WD track tractor with a powerful 440kW (590hp), 13.6L engine and high-end specs, designed with “real world usability” in mind.
