Quick trip to the tropics

Barely back from Barcaldine there was just enough time for some trailer maintenance, head scratching and a new show stand layout design before loading everything up again for a trip to one of our favourite places - Mackay.

The Quad and SxS trailer (on loan from our friends at Evolution Electrical Racing) needed a bit of love after the Barcaldine trip so mike took to it with the grinder, welder and paint brush.

World's flimsiest caravan?

The plan here was not to create a very large camper trailer, but rather a new platform for upcoming Ag and 4x4 shows.

SxS and Quads are an increasingly large part of our work.

Bump in day.

With the Mackay AgTradeLife show being our first 'Solo' show for the year, and the first event that we would be taking both the CFMoto U8 Side by Side and the CFMoto X6 Quad we were looking for an option that would;

• Keep us up out of the mud.
• Give us plenty of shade.
• Create a dark corner for our flat screens.
• Solve the problem of having to store the trailer somewhere during the show.

Of course the whole stand is powered by our Goal Zero Yeti and solar panel tripod.

The trip to North Queensland wasn't just to stand around at a show though.

We also had another of our series of courses across the state for a Qld Govt Dept. For this Mackay group we had access to some brilliant terrain close to the city, yet seemingly miles away.

a 4x4 playground, so close to the city.

This team completed SISODRV302A - Drive and Recover a 4wd Vehicle.

In this particular site the ever present and accessible MAXTRAX got a workout on terrain that is exactly what these guys experience in their daily work tasks.

Getting the Pajero dirty.

What a tough workplace.

There's no point in pretending.
