🌲𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐇 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠🌲
This week, Merrett Logging was fortunate to host contractors from across Australia, alongside representatives from John Deere in Finland, America and Australia, to showcase the new H Series Harvesters and Forwarders.
The new H Series brings together smarter connectivity, advanced automation and data-driven technology designed to improve productivity and performance out in the field.
It was a proud moment for Merrett Logging, the people we employ and the forestry industry as a whole. It was fantastic to bring so many passionate people together to share ideas, experiences and the future of forestry.
A huge thank you to everyone who travelled to attend — hopefully there are many more events like this in the future 🌲🚜
📸Many thanks to Christy Radford for capturing the day and night
