FG machinery editor's top 6 picks from LAMMA

JCB Fastrac 6000Ìý

"The long-awaited Fastrac mid range between this existing 4000 and 8000 series. The two model range has plenty of potential for success in a competitive power band - as the only 300hp tractor with four-wheel steering, full suspension and HGV-style brakes."Ìý

Merlo TF35.7

"Know for its lime green paint, Merlo has highlighted both the range of specification options offered, plus the ability to order a machine in any colour. Personally, I think the blue looks really good"

New Deutz Fahr 8 SeriesÌý

"Another long-awaited range replacement, the new Series 8 combines a brand new cab design and, currently unique for a tractor, an automotive-style driver assistance system which includes cruise control, lane departure warning plus several camera-abased alerts for traffic and pedestrians."

Outlander electric ATVÌýÌý

"As the first commercial available all-electric ATV, the Outlander Electric could provide quad bike users with some real advantages in terms of a lower centre of gravity, quiet running, higher torque and no need to keep cans of petrol in the yard"Ìý

Fastview 360 tractor safeÌý

"An object detection, AI based camera system using different sensors to detect humans and hazards around tractors. It changes what it deems dangerous depending on what the machine is doing."Ìý

McHale TerraDriveÌý

"It is a nice bit of progression in terms of technology - it moves the baler's function to being pulled by the tractor to providing tractive power.Ìý
"The baler axle is driven which is an industry first, and for upland users or those in difficult conditions, you essentially have a 6x6 drive vehicle."
