Maxi-Tankers At 2023 Henty Machinery Field Days

September 25, 2023

Maxi-Tankers at the 2023 Henty Machinery Field Days

2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Henty Machinery Field Days, and our Maxi-Tankers team were again on site at the showground (Field Days) for the 6th year. 


For 3 days, 19-21st September, Paul, Pat, Mark and David manned our site once again. The local team has a wealth of knowledge in the fuel industry and were happy to help with a wide range of refuelling questions from attendees far and wide. No question was too challenging with our regional spread covering Wagga Wagga, Tumut, Griffith, Hillston, Hay, Deniliquin, Albury, Shepparton, Myrtleford, Corryong and everywhere in between.


On request any one of our team will travel to your site to meet and talk through the solutions for refuelling. Sites can vary dramatically in both hectares in rural settings, and for the many businesses located in townships throughout this mapped area. 


Farmers with large irrigation systems can rely on a Maxi-Tanker turning up, without a prompt, just because our Schedulers and Operators know their customer’s fuel usage patterns so well.  The visual for a farmer when one of our Maxi’s is seen, or heard, rumbling down a dirt road is the best solution for a good day ahead. Above ground tanks are filled, irrigation systems and generators, as are pieces of Plant and Equipment which are all necessary to keep crops growing. We do the thinking for our customers while they get on with running their farm or business.


Our Maxi-Tanker Operators are down to earth, professional drivers, who care for the communities they live in, and the business relationships and family friendships that are formed are essential components to operating a successful business in the rural sector. Events like Henty Machinery Field days are great opportunities for our team to connect to the communities that they serve.


Exhibition of the Upton Tractor. One of the world’s rarest tractors

This year we had the opportunity to become a Sponsor for the Upton Tractor Exhibition which is being assembled by the HMFD committee to bring these rare tractors into the spotlight once again.  Upton tractors, had 8 MT models and were the largest two wheel drive tractors in the world at the time. Carl Upton manufactured his tractors in Corowa up until 1981 so tractor enthusiasts and farmers will be able to view machinery of the past. 


This exhibit will be a significant display for tractor and machinery enthusiasts and farmers in general, including historical tractors from Mudgee, Swan Hill, Ardlethan, Corowa and Albury. A photo opportunity for the public with the tractor owners, and Carl Upton, mid morning on Wednesday 20th September should be a wonderful opportunity to chat with the people who lived and worked through those times.



Our sponsorship will help the fuel expenses of getting tractors and machinery to the show for those who will be transporting the past to the future.

The Refuelling Solutions group of companies, Mini-Tankers®, Maxi-Tankers® and IFUEL® data management systems have the solution to your fuel requirements. 


For eveyone who took the time to drop into the show to meet our great team, Mark, Pat, Paul, and David, it was great to have a chat with you and we cannot wait to see you again soon.
