John Deere | AU Content Creator Revealed

It was like a little kangaroo. Get out of town. We are in Australia. Hello there. We are in rural Victoria because I today am going to meet Phaedra, who is going to be John Deere's content creator in Australia, like I've been doing in Aotearoa in New Zealand. So we're just about to pull into her place. I tell you what, she can get the John Deere out on the driveway because there's a few bumps in this thing. Lovely tunnel garden. Let's go knock on the door and meet them. I'm not exactly traveling subtly. Hi, Phaedra. How are you? Hi, I'm Vaughan.

Oh, hello.

It's nice to meet you. I hear that you're going to be doing in Australia what I have been doing in New Zealand.

Okay. Yes.

Creating a little bit of content with John Deere.

Yes.

It's a lovely property here.

We are very excited about everything. We've got heaps and heaps of plans. I have a list, a very long list.

A long list. Yeah. I had a long list. I got through a lot of them. But I tell you what, you can always put more things on the bottom of the list.

We're going to work hard for the next, like, six months. I'm changing our schedules. Change for everything.

Yeah. Surprise, surprise. Come and meet the new members of your John Deere family.

Oh, the tractor's here.

The tractor's here, too.

Oh, I feel like I'm going to cry. I think I am.

That's the reaction we want. Come and have a look at what we've got.

Hello. Hello. Thank you so much. I just can't. I actually, I can't. I kind of can't fathom it. You know, it really is shiny.

It'll never look as good again.

No.

And that's the best part, is you don't have to return it as shiny.

Okay. Well, I'm very excited.

So this list. I hear there's a list.

I have an actual list. I'll go get it.

Go get your list. Go get your list, and we'll have a look around.

This is the list.

Oh, my. That is a list and a half.

Yeah.

Let's start at the top. Build oval. Wow.

So I definitely have a lot of work to do.

Okay, well, why don't you show me some of these things on this list? Let's go for a little look. See?

So the oval sort of in that area out through here. And then this is the growing space, which I'm about to rip out. But you might appreciate this being From New Zealand. Have you ever been to Hobbiton? Yeah.

My grandmother lives next door.

Big, cute little gardens. Like a little. So that's what I'm doing here. And I want to turn that pile of rubble back there into like a little hill.

You could totally do a hobbit hole.

And I want to do a hobbit hole. Yes. With the little.

You've got the tractor.

You've got the tractor.

The tractor can do a hobbit hole.

I feel like that'd be so fun.

You've got vision. I like that.

Oh, yeah. The walking track. We've got to put drainage in. Oh. And this. Yeah, I'm just gonna bulldoze that and just. I'm gonna bulldoze a whole lot now. Pop fence posts out and fencing. So we'll put a gate down here like we thought. Wouldn't a jetty be cool?

Yes. Very picturesque.

Yeah, that would be cool.

I'm Royce.

Hello.

I'm really glad to be able to hand over the machinery to you. So have you ever driven a track before?

No, I've never done a zero turn mower either.

A few pointers that you'll pick up along the way and I'll get you off to a good start, so.

Whoa. I wasn't expecting that. Yes. Wow. Who would have thought a tractor was so comfortable? That is so cool. Oh, I'm very excited. Hopefully pick it up pretty quick, but yeah, otherwise I'm so excited.

This is the 315E and it's an awesome mower with a 42 inch deck. You've got a throttle here, same as the tracker turtle and rabbit.

If you push that one forward, you're gonna go that way because it will drive that wheel.

Oh, I'm going down the hill. Whoops. Ah.

Well, surprisingly, this hasn't got any shorter yet. This hasn't got any shorter. And you've probably seen a couple of things to add.

I have.

Now that you've been around the property and had a little play on the John Deere. So I will leave this to you.

Thank you.

I will wish you the very best of luck. Not a problem at all.

Thank you.

And I'll head back to New Zealand. This is east this way. Yeah, I will. I better start walking.

It'll only take a few days to walk.

Yeah. I'll be like, oh, I won't take that long. Good luck.

See you, Vaughan. Thanks for all the help.
