Our Partnership with Monarch

Partnering with Monarch Tractor has been transformative for our farm. The Monarch electric tractor has replaced our diesel-powered equipment, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and cutting down our emissions. This change has not only made our operations more eco-friendly, but also more cost-effective in the long run.

The precision and efficiency of the Monarch tractor have allowed us to optimize our farming practices, leading to better management of our cherry orchard and higher quality crops. We are proud to be the first in New Zealand to utilize this groundbreaking technology and hope to inspire other farmers to follow suit. Our journey with Monarch and adoption of their electric MK-V Tractor helps us showcase a sustainable future in farming, and sets a benchmark for others in the industry.
