A bit of everything • A massive 14.5m fully mounted mower and a new range of trailed sprayers will be among the range of fresh-faced machines on the Kuhn stand at Agritechnica. And we reckon there'll be other new items from Kuhn unveiled at the show itself. Roll on November.

A little Xtra

John Deere 6R250: From hunter to hunted? • On the market since 2017, the big-frame six-cylinder 6R has become the best seller in the 6R range. Reason enough, then, to take a fresh view on this refined Mannheim heavyweight in its sports package.

Three tractors in comparison • This is a comparison of three similar hp tractors that have been tested by profi in past magazines

Pöttinger Aerosem VT DD cultivator drill: Run VT • By making its wider power harrow drill combination a semi-mounted unit, it’s not only easier to take on and off but also considerably reduces the amount of load on the tractor. We tested Pöttinger’s 5.0m wide Aerosem VT DD combi drill.

Kverneland Ecomat vs: At the shallow end • Shallow ploughing might not be everyone’s cup of tea but with increased focus on carbon emissions and the obvious cost advantages of just skimming under the surface, it’s a practice that is receiving renewed attention. We put two of the front-runners in the field side-by-side earlier this year..

Stoll ProfiLine ISObus Connected: Easier to fit and better to use • Stoll’s ISObus Connected loader controls is now an option on the ProfiLine range making it not only easier to install and use via the tractor’s onboard joystick and ISObus terminal. With this simplified integration, installing a loader is easier but this is just part of a bigger story.

Amazone Catros+ 7003-2 Pro cultivator: Keeping discs clean • Depending on the amount of slurry and soil moisture, a rear roller on a disc harrow is a potential sticking point. Amazone can now fit a following harrow on its Catros+ disc cultivator when working with slurry and digestate.

KRM Sola GS300: A bit of what you know • When KRM asked Sola for a grass sowing drill, the Spanish company was able to utilise several parts from its existing machines to come up with the GS300. We caught up with one of the UK demo units in the Yorkshire Dales.

Agriweld Min-Dis cultivator: Make way for fun tines • Over the past eight years, Agriweld has grown its cultivator range with a number of compaction-busting soil looseners in various configurations. The Min-Dis is one of those machines that utilises the minimal disturbance legs. Read on to find out more.

Claas Axion 800 series - 2014 to 2025: Getting in on the Axion action • Claas launched its ‘second generation’ Axion 800 tractors back in 2014, with the oldest examples now past their tenth birthday. This means there should be a used example available to suit a range of budgets, but you do need to...
