GONZALES - Sunshine Equipment in Gonzales, Louisiana is hosting a Drive Green Challenge event on March 9 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and March 10 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., during the Louisiana Sportsman Show at the Lamar Dixon Center 9039 S Saint Landry Ave. The event will give area property owners, farmers and ranchers and other interested consumers a chance to drive and compare John Deere and competitive tractor models and see the latest John Deere attachments and other equipment.

The Sunshine Equipment’s Drive Green Challenge event is one of many to be held across the nation. Dealer representatives will be on hand to demonstrate both John Deere and competitive equipment and answer questions.

Greg Melancon, Marketing Manager at Sunshine Equipment says one of the most popular features of the Drive Green events is the chance for customers to drive the equipment, kick the tires and speak with knowledgeable equipment experts.

“The Drive Green events give customers a one-stop opportunity to size up different utility tractors so they can find out exactly what horsepower tractor will best fit their property and the jobs they want to accomplish,” Melancon says. “It’s a great way to understand how to choose the right size attachments and implements so that they get the most from their equipment investment.”

“At the same time, we want to make our event a fun and informative experience for everyone who attends,” Melancon added.

As an added incentive, people who attend the Drive Green event can register to win a John Deere 1023E Compact Utility Tractor with loader and box blade, which will be given away in October. Admission is free and no pre-registration is required to attend.
