Lismore is set to host one of the region’s biggest machinery showcases when Ongmac hosts Demo Day 2025 this Saturday, 13 December, bringing major brands, family activities and a relaxed community atmosphere.

Everyone knows where the Ongmac building is on Conway Street, but Demo Day 2025 will be held at 172 Bruxner Highway, opposite the Lismore Airport, attracting farmers, tradies, property owners and machinery enthusiasts from across the Northern Rivers. While the day highlights new equipment and technology, organisers say it’s just as much about community connection.

“People come for the machines, but they stay for the conversations, the atmosphere and the chance to catch up,” an Ongmac spokesperson said.

Major Brands Under One Roof

This year’s line-up brings Kubota, Greenworks and Grillo together in one location — a rare opportunity for locals to compare leading machinery brands side by side. Demonstrations and walk-throughs will include tractors, mowers, excavators and SVLs, with staff on hand to answer questions about property needs, terrain, attachments, running costs and finance options.

You can expect tractors, mowers, excavators and SVLs on site, ready to check out up close so you can see what really suits your jobs.

Ask experienced staff about property size, terrain, attachments, running costs and finance options, so you can make more confident decisions before you commit to buying new equipment.

Organisers say the aim is to give attendees a clear and practical understanding of what equipment suits their work, land size or operating style.

Excavator Challenge Expected to Draw Crowds

A highlight of every Demo Day, the Excavator Skills Challenge, will return with operators putting their precision and control to the test in timed tasks. The friendly competition traditionally attracts a strong crowd and will once again offer prizes for the top performers.

A Family-Friendly Day Out

Alongside the machinery displays, visitors can enjoy a free sausage sizzle, meet the Ongmac team and take part in a family-friendly day that has become a fixture on the local calendar.
