The Velcourt-managed Radstock-Cooperative Society, Somerset was one of the first UK farms to purchase one of the new generation of Liebherr built Claas Scorpion telehandlers.

Now in partnership with Liebherr to build its telehandlers and wheeled loaders, has Claas made the right decision in teaming up with the fellow German firm?

During 2018s maize harvest, Robert Tuckwell Partnership (Farmers and Contractors) in Buckinghamshire chopped 2,870 tonnes in 16 hours with a new generation Claas Jaguar 980.

Though outward appearance may not suggest much has changed, there are several updates lurking beneath the skin of Claas latest Arion tractor models.

Aiming to appeal to a wider customer base, Claas has developed a new control concept for its medium to large tractors, along with an updated version of its top-spec control offering.

Not one to rest on its laurels, Claas has gone back to the drawing board to give its Lexion combine range a comprehensive overhaul.

Following updates to its range of six-string large square balers, we try out one of Claas latest Quadrant balers. James Rickard takes the new 5300 for a test drive.
