Krampe RamBody 750+ trailer: On the push • Krampe debuted its first push-off trailers over three years ago, and now the second version of the RamBody is out and about. We tested the German trailer maker’s middle model, the 750+, on carting maize last season.

J F Hudson Silo Crab Grab a load • When looking to feed only quality forage, some older material may end up in the muck heap once the milking herd has nosed its way through it. How best to handle it?

Pöttinger Servo 2000N plough: Update completed • With the introduction of the Servo 2000N, Pöttinger has completed its plough line-up overhaul. We try out a four-furrow version of the firm’s lightest range.

Massey Ferguson 5M: Mmmmmbop • If you were asked which is the best-selling tractor to come out of Massey’s plant in Beauvais, you might think a livestock favourite like the 5S135, or the general all-rounder 7S180. But you'd be wrong. It is, in fact, the 5711 … or at least it was in 2024 when over 2,000 of these models rolled out of Beauvais. Today, the 5711 has a successor, the 5M.

Strautmann EVerti-Feed 1251 diet feeder: Electric mixer • When Swiss importers and Strautmann engineers sit down and have a coffee together at EuroTier, new ideas emerge. The EVerti-Feed is one of them.

Amazone Teres 300V — plough with integrated press Pack it in • Amazone now offers an integrated press for some of its Cayros and Teres ploughs. We tucked the firm’s plough/press combo into maize stubble back in the spring.

Shelbourne Reynolds hedge cutters: Model knowledge • Shelbourne Reynolds started volume production of its 5.0m Powerblade hedge cutters in 2004, the company having since expanded the range with models up to 8.0m reach. Add a choice of telescopic and variable forward reach, plus different flail heads, and there is a lot to think about when looking for a used buy.

CONTROLLER BASICS

HOW DO THEY DIFFER? 700, 7000, 800 AND 8000 SERIES.

Weidmüller RT1 cable-tie snips: Tug tight and snip • One of a number of tools on the market that will pull a cable tie consistently tight and then snip off the excess is the RT1. We find out if it is a useful toolbox addition … or just a gimmick you can live without.

WIN A KRAMP TOOL TROLLEY • profi and Kramp have joined forces to offer a lucky profi reader the chance to win a fantastic new tool trolley for the workshop.
