Farmers heading to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show this September can put a machine through its paces before they put money down.
The popular material handling Ride & Drive returns for 2026, and the show has added a second area for utility task vehicles, better known as side-by-sides. Both sit just off 11th Street and Ontario Drive on the show grounds at Discovery Farm Woodstock.
What’s in the material handling area
The area is set up for multipurpose machines that lift and carry, including gravel, lumber and palletized loads. Visitors can take out more than one machine, which is what makes the setup useful: handling is easier to judge when two machines cross the same ground the same afternoon.
UTV test drives are new this year
For getting around the farm – or off the farm – Utility Task Vehicles (UTV) work for both recreational and task-oriented jobs. Explore which UTV is the right fit for your farm, with versatile vehicles from these exhibiting companies:
- Off Road Addiction
- Kawasaki
- CMI Motors
- Demon Powersports
- L1fe Outdoors ATV.
Before you go
Ride & Drive participants are normally asked to sign a waiver and each exhibitor runs its own area. Show map and visitor information is on the show site.
