Importing Farm Machinery For Over 15 Years

If you’re looking to buy a UTV vehicle, the team at Tuatara have expert knowledge to give you professional advise. Geoff Hill has been importing agricultural and construction machinery from China for over 15 years. Qingmei Pang has an engineering background, as well as qualifications in international business.

In 2017, they founded Tuatara Machinery Limited, trading as Tuatara ATV, to produce an ATV specifically for New Zealanders: the Tuatara.

Why “Tuatara”? The iconic tuatara is an ancient lizard species found only in New Zealand. Each tuatara can live for more than 100 years, and its rugged appearance is strangely appealing. What better image could there be for New Zealand’s own ATV?

Geoff and Qingmei have designed the Tuatara ATV from the ground up to handle New Zealand conditions. It’s manufactured in China to their exacting specifications. The Tuatara is designed with strength in mind. It’s got plenty of power and carrying capacity, and a go-anywhere capability. Best of all, it’s made of tough, enduring steel, with plastic banished to the passenger compartment shrouding.

The Tuatara continues to evolve in response to customer feedback. Tuatara ATV is determined to make the Tuatara the offroad side-by-side UTV vehicle of choice for farmers, hunters, contractors and recreational users. There is no need for a special license and it can be driven on a class 1 or class 6 license.
