Tuesday 31st March 2026 | 10am – 3pm | Thruxton Motorsport Centre
Join us for our Technology Demo Showcase + Ride & Drive Day at Thruxton Motorsport Centre on Tuesday 31st March 2026, where we’ll be bringing a wide range of John Deere agricultural and Pro Turf machinery together in one place. Throughout the day you’ll be able to explore familiar machines fitted with the latest John Deere Precision Technology, with relaxed, real‑world demonstrations that show how these tools support everyday efficiency out in the field.
We’re also opening up the Thruxton asphalt for Ride & Drive sessions, giving you the chance to get behind the wheel of 6M, 6R, 7R and 8R tractors, along with selected Pro Turf equipment. It’s a practical, hands‑on day with plenty to see and do, hot and cold refreshments available, and a chance to round things off with passenger hot laps in an Alpine A110S from 3pm. If you’d like to join us, simply complete the RSVP form below – more details will follow soon.
Pro Turf Demo Stations
At our Pro Turf demo stations, you’ll be invited to get hands‑on with the latest professional turf and groundcare technology in a practical, real‑world setting. These live machinery stations are designed to let you see, feel and try the equipment for yourself, with expert guidance on hand to explain features, answer questions and demonstrate how each machine performs in day‑to‑day operation.
Across the demo area, you’ll find a wide range of solutions spanning golf, commercial mowing, utility vehicles and compact tractors. Highlights include John Deere and Grillo commercial mowing equipment, John Deere compact tractors equipped with AutoSteer technology, Trimax mowers, and Stihl’s professional commercial solutions. Whether you’re responsible for fine turf, large open spaces or multi‑purpose estates, the demo stations will give you a clear insight into how the latest machines and technologies can improve efficiency, consistency and overall results on the ground.
