For the Family

A Great Day Out
For All the Family

It's not just one for the machinery diehards. Bring the kids and the grandparents and make a proper day of it.

The Giant Sandpit

A giant sandpit loaded with toy diggers. Fair warning, you won't get the kids out of it in a hurry.

Clydesdale Demos

Working Clydesdale demonstrations. The original horsepower, doing what it did before the tractors turned up.

Machine Parades

The grand parade rolls twice a day, all three days. Old iron and new muscle past the fence, close enough to wave at.

Market & Food Stalls

Market and craft stalls to poke through between parades, and food stalls going all weekend so nobody has to cook.

Planes

A fly-in of light aircraft parked right beside the show. Wander the fence line and talk to the pilots. Weather willing.

Trucks & Tractors

Trucks and tractors parked where you can walk right up, and owners happy to talk them over.

The Big One

World Record
Massey Muster

We're going after the world record for the most Massey Ferguson tractors gathered in one place. Every Massey in the south, every shed find, every pride and joy: we want them all lined up on the one paddock, and yours is invited.

Old Iron, New Muscle,
One Big Paddock

Over Easter 2027, the tussock country outside Cromwell fills up with machinery. Old tractors that broke in these farms, parked beside the diggers that shift the dirt today. Steam, diesel and dust for three days straight, with a full family day out wrapped around it.

Sec 02 / The Programme

Three Days
of Iron

If it runs on tracks or wheels, it's probably here. This is what's locked in so far, with more announcements to come.

01

World Record Massey Muster

The headline act. Beat 285 Massey Fergusons in one place and this paddock goes in the book.

Record Attempt
02

Grand Parade, Twice Daily

The full parade-ground spectacle rolls every morning and every afternoon, all three days.

03

Tractor Pull

Horsepower against the sled. Old girls and new muscle digging in until the wheels spin.

04

Stationary Engines

Puffing, popping and ticking over: the engines that powered the farms before the tractors did.

05

Static Displays

Trucks, heavy machinery and tractors up close. The ones you waved at from the roadside as a kid, parked where you can walk right up and talk them over.

06

Kids & Family Zone

A dedicated family area so the small ones have as big a day out as the big ones.

More attractions announced as they're confirmed.

$45Day Pass

Sunday

Easter Sunday on the paddock. The final parades, last runs of the weekend and a proper send-off for the iron.

Be Part of the Show

An event like this runs on the people who bring it: the machines, the stalls and the crew. Here's how to get on the field.

Bring Your Machine

Tractor, truck, digger or crawler: if it runs on tracks or wheels we want it on display. Massey Ferguson owners, you're the record attempt.

Exhibit Your Machine →

Trade & Stalls

Food trucks, trade sites, market and craft stalls, community and club sites. Thousands through the gate over three days.

Trade & Stalls →

Join the Crew

Marshal the parking grid, run the gate, steward a world record attempt. The show runs on volunteers, and volunteers see it from the inside.
