Landlogic recently had the pleasure of hosting Rhodri Davies, Territory Manager for Horizon Agriculture (UK), during his visit to New Zealand. Rhod’s trip marked an important milestone for the Horizon brand locally, following the arrival of the new Gen3 DSX demonstration drill.
Supporting Dealer Capability
A key focus of the visit was delivering an in-depth dealer sales training event, designed to equip our South Island dealer network with the knowledge and confidence to support customers considering Horizon’s strip-till and direct drilling technology.
The training provided hands-on insights into the latest advancements in the Gen3 DSX, with a strong emphasis on:
- Machine setup and optimisation
- Agronomic benefits of strip-till systems
- Positioning the DSX in New Zealand farming systems
- Identifying opportunities for contractors and progressive farmers
With Rhod’s direct experience from the UK, European & Canadian markets, dealers gained valuable perspective on how Horizon technology is being successfully applied globally.
On-Farm Engagement Across the South Island
Beyond the training event, we made the most of Rhod’s time in New Zealand by getting out into the field.
Together with our South Island dealer, Drummond & Etheridge, we:
- Visited existing Horizon owners
- Connected with new customers
- Conducted live demonstrations of the Gen3 DSX
These visits created valuable opportunities to share knowledge, gather feedback, and showcase the performance and versatility of the DSX in real New Zealand conditions.
Gen3 DSX on Tour
The Gen3 DSX demonstration drill is now actively touring the South Island, giving farmers and contractors the opportunity to see the machine in action.
This South Island demonstration programme will continue in the coming months, with the DSX set to:
- Travel throughout key agricultural regions
- Support on-farm demos and field days
- Engage directly with farmers exploring reduced tillage systems
The drill will then head to the Mystery Creek Fieldays in June, where the DSX will be featured on-site as part of our national showcase.
Expanding the Horizon Dealer Network
As interest in min-till & no-till systems continues to grow, Landlogic is actively looking to expand the Horizon dealer network—into the North Island.
We are currently seeking forward-thinking dealers interested in:
- Representing the Horizon brand
- Taking on exclusive territories
- Supporting a growing customer base in modern cultivation systems
