16-18 August 2022 Gold Coast The Australian Cotton Conference is an experience not to be missed. Held at the Gold Coast, this event will bring together new and experienced farmers, agronomists and researchers, brands and marketers, students, supply chain partners, industry groups and cotton groupies. Together we’ll look at the challenges and opportunities facing cotton, share and learn from one another and listen to some of the world’s best cotton experts – and have a whole lot of fun along the way.

Every Farmer needs horsepower, but every farm also needs a
Loader, mower, post hole digger, hay bale mover, firewood wrangler, paddock leveller... The BRUMBY has a suite of attachments to pick from.
MEET THE FUTURE OF SMALL PROPERTY HELP. The BRUMBY is designed and built with low impact in mind. From a battery electric system that’s gentle on the environment, to an articulated chassis that’s even more gentle on your paddocks - the BRUMBY makes hard jobs easy, and doesn’t make a fuss about it.
Brumby by Everun is an articulated battery powered loader with the strength to handle jobs around the farm you didn’t even know needed doing. With a range of implements to push, clear, lift or shift, and a machine as easy to operate as it is compact – use of your Brumby will become a daily occurrence. Here at Everun Australia, we identified instantly that for the Brumby to fill a market void there were three challenges that we had to bridle to successfully deliver our vision to the agricultural market. We believe we’re clearing those gates every day.
1 2
3
We took a tried and tested technology, and aimed it at the consumer market. Ask any of the growing number of Brumby owners and you’ll find that anyone can safely operate this machine and the variety of uses makes it a crossover success story in many industries. And as time goes by, you’ll learn the capabilities of the machine exceed your initial requirements, and it’s at that point that it changes from a convenience to a necessity. We needed to be price point sensitive. Take a look online and you’ll find that any decent second hand tractor with a bucket and forks will set you back at least $20,000 plus delivery costs. At $10,900.00 + GST the Brumby costs the same as a decent ride on mower, but has the power to lift that ride on up and put it on the back of the ute. The self-levelling forks will easily handle 400kg and the entire unit is compact enough that you can load it into a horse float to get it home. Even if you decided to get every implement available, you’d be able to dig, bore, slash, move and lift everything on the farm under half a tonne and still only have spent around what you would have on a second hand dingo. Trust. This is the part of the business that we’re working on every day – helping the buyer to trust that we have created a viable alternative to the diesel engine. In 2022 Brumby will be produced in Australia at our factory in Melbourne, and we will be proudly exporting units all over the world. We’re creating the future of practical farm utilities, and we’ll be manufacturing it right here in our own back yard, so if there ever is a problem with your machine – the people who built it are on the other end of the phone.
With a Brumby in your paddock you’ll have no more diesel costs, no emissions, next to no servicing costs (aside from greasing). What you will have is a quiet running, cost effective machine with excellent resale value, backed with parts and tech support and a proven track record with units already in use all over the country.
BATTERY POWERED - Eliminate the need for refuelling and reduce emissions - the BRUMBY is fully battery electric.
LOW MAINTENANCE -
With no regular servicing, the BRUMBY is cheaper to run than any diesel loader.
