THIS IS CAN-AM COUNTRY

Whether it's hauling, towing, or navigating rough terrain, the Can-Am Defender is more than a utility vehicle — it’s a partner in the paddock. Where dust meets determination, farmers rise before the sun and push past every obstacle. Australian farms are built on resilience, grit, and hard work — and it’s exactly the kind of place where the Can-Am Defender earns its keep.

In the rugged terrain of Branga Plains Pastoral Co., Guy Lord and his wife oversee the daily operations of their 6,000-head cattle station, located 100 kilometres outside of Tamworth. The property has been in his wife’s family since 1929, a testament to generations of hard work and perseverance. During this time the Lord family have experienced the challenges of farming - from droughts to floods to varying economic climates.

For the Lords, Can-Am vehicles are a critical investment to ensure the smooth running of their operations. Since converting from ATVs, they have sourced 8 Can-Am Defenders from their local Can-Am authorised dealer, creating a long-standing partnership with a trusted name.

The Can-Am Defenders allow Guy & his team to safely carry passengers to do the tasks around farm day in, day out. Their agility means they can be used to supervise calving, but spray weeds along the way.

“They are worth their weight in gold", claims Guy Lord.

At Hunter Highlands, a thriving cattle and cropping operation in Crawley, 90 kilometres from Tamworth, resilience is a way of life. David and Jane Komacha, along with their three daughters, have built a successful farming enterprise, but their journey has not been without its challenges.

A few years ago, Jane’s husband, David, suffered a serious accident that left him with limited mobility in his legs. For many, such an injury might have meant stepping away from the physically demanding world of agriculture. But for David, quitting was never an option.

His lifeline came in the form of his Can-Am vehicle. With its powerful, all-terrain capability, the vehicle enables him to move freely across the property, tend to their cattle, and oversee daily farm operations—independently.

For the Komachas, farming isn’t just a hobby—it’s their livelihood, passion, and family legacy. With Hunter Highlands continuing to grow, David’s ability to remain active in daily operations has been a game-changer, proving that determination and the right tools can help overcome even the toughest obstacles.

As a third-generation farmer at Talgoona Speckle Park, Daniel McCulloch has spent his life working the land, managing cattle, sheep, and cropping fields, and upholding the legacy built by his father and grandfather before him.

But now, his focus is shifting. While he remains deeply invested in the day-to-day operations of the farm, Daniel is also preparing for the next chapter—handing over to his three daughters, led by Ellie.

At just 14 years old, Ellie is already embedded in the family business, showing a natural ability beyond her years. Whether it’s working the stockyards, managing pasture rotations, or understanding market demands, she has grown up with the rhythms of farm life ingrained in her.

There are many varied tasks required on the farm and the Can-Am Defender allows the McCullochs to do them as a family. For them, It’s not just a vehicle, but a way of life. Daniel believes that relationships are the key to successful operations evidenced in their relationship with Harvey Morris Motorcycles, a longtime partner in the business and someone Daniel has worked with for over 30 years. Their professional connection is built on trust, experience, and a shared understanding of the challenges and rewards of farming.

With Ellie showing a strong interest in agriculture and farm management and even managing cattle of her own, Daniel is gradually passing the baton, ensuring she gains hands-on experience in every aspect of the operation.

Ellie looks forward to taking on the family farm with her two younger sisters, and to showing more cattle as she becomes more confident in her efforts.

As Australian agriculture continues to evolve, families like the McCullochs are at the heart of the industry—blending tradition with innovation and ensuring that farming’s future remains strong.
