What Is the Hamilton Farmers Event?
The Hamilton Farmers Event is one of the biggest farming events in the Southern Hemisphere. It happens every year at Mystery Creek in Hamilton and brings together thousands of farmers, businesses, and experts from all over New Zealand and beyond.
For four days, the event is packed with the latest farming equipment, new technology, workshops, and demonstrations. It’s a great chance for farmers to see what’s new, learn useful tips, and meet people in the farming community.
Simply put, it’s the place where farming comes alive, full of energy, ideas, and new tools to help make farm life easier and more productive.
What Happened This Year at the Hamilton Farmers' Event?
This year’s Hamilton Farmers Event was full of excitement and activity, drawing in over 110,000 visitors from across the country. The theme for 2025 was “Your Place”, a fitting message that celebrated the important role farming plays in communities and everyday life throughout New Zealand.
There were also plenty of live demonstrations, workshops, and opportunities to talk directly with experts and suppliers throughout the four-day event.
It was also a special year for the event’s new Chief Executive, Richard Lindroos, who proudly delivered his first Fieldays at the helm of the not-for-profit New Zealand National Fieldays Society. Despite a bit of rain here and there, spirits were high.
“Although the weather was not always on our side this year, it didn’t deter our visitors who came prepared for the conditions,” Richard shared. And he was right, gumboots and rain jackets were everywhere, but so were smiles.
X-Trailers at the 2025 Hamilton Farmers Event
We were proud to be part of this year’s Hamilton Farmers Event, right in the middle of all the action. Being surrounded by tractors, diggers, and heavy-duty gear felt like home for us; after all, that’s exactly where our trailers belong.
For those who don’t know us, X-Trailers is a homegrown company building seriously tough trailers that can take a beating and keep on rolling. Our trailers are built to survive New Zealand’s unpredictable weather and rugged farm life.
Our site at Fieldays was buzzing from day one. We had a full range of X-Trailers on display, from tandem axle workhorses to tipping trailers and digger-ready options. People stopped by to check out the builds up close, and we had heaps of great conversations with farmers, tradies, contractors, and families wanting something reliable and tough.
A lot of visitors were surprised by just how solid and practical our trailers are. With fully galvanised steel, easy-to-use features, and options built for heavy loads, it was clear we struck a chord with people who need equipment that can handle the real-world demands of Kiwi work.
We also had some familiar faces visit, folks from brands like Kobelco and Bobcat, who already trust us to transport their heavy machinery. It was great to reconnect and hear how our trailers are performing out in the field.
If you missed us at the event, don’t worry! You can still check out our full range anytime at x-trailers.co.nz or give us a shout, we’re always happy to help you find the trailer that’s right for your job.
