Come see the Crawler’s superior agitation performance and meet your manure management experts since 1902.
RAM TRUCK TEST DRIVE:
Ram Trucks, the unprecedented back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year award winner, return to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show to give attendees a chance to take a 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500 for a spin at the Ram Test Drive on North Mall. Test drivers will be able to get the trucks out on road to get a feel for them and see how the trucks could help with their day-to-day tasks. The highlight of the Test Drive and the Ram exhibit is the new 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel V6, the latest addition to their line of pick up trucks and the only light duty truck in the industry to offer a diesel engine. Visit the Ram exhibit on 2nd Lane to sign up.
SKID STEER RIDE’N’DRIVE:
This new ride’n’drive provides an arena where farmers can get behind the controls and put skid steers through their paces. Test different manufacturers to see how they turn, load and could eventually be a helpful addition to any farm fleet.
TEMPO PLANTER DEMOS:
- Tempo High-Speed Planter – the evolution of speed and precision.
The new Tempo delivers perfect depth and spacing (with fewer skips and doubles) -- even at 10.5 mph. The result is even crop establishment and maximized yields every time. Go to TempoPlanter.com for details and visit our demo plots at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show to see for yourself.
TOYOTA TEST DRIVE ACTIVATION:

At Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, farmers can get in the driver’s seat of a brand new 2015 Toyota Tundra or Tacoma for an unmatched experience they won’t find at any other farm show. Test drives will be available all day long at the Toyota exhibit from 8:30am to 5:00pm. For more information, visit www.toyota.ca.
