AMAZONE is now offering the Tyrok 400 semi-mounted reversible plough for on land ploughing. The Tyrok Onland provides a high level of flexibility as a result of the quick and easy change between either on land or in-furrow operation. The new models are offered with a choice of 7, 8 or 9 furrows for tractors of up to 400 hp.



Easy change between on land and in-furrow

The tractor size and the size of the tyres determine, amongst other things, its operation in the furrow or on and beside the furrow. Specifically, its use with tracks, dual wheels or extra wide tyres larger than 710 mm does not permit driving in the furrow without compaction damage on soil which has already been partly ploughed.

A major advantage of on land ploughing is the...

Father and son feeding the dairy cattle one Saturday afternoon, and it was a windy afternoon. Case Puma 150 on the Keenan diet feeder and the JCB TM420 with the Redrock Sheer bucket feeding away. Case IH Puma 150 has been well shown this year from ploughing and raking but today on a much harder job feeding the strong 300 dairy cows on the farm. JCB TM 420s loading a mix of maize and silage with meal giving the cows a healthy balanced feed. Cows are being fed twice a day and as you can see they are enjoying themselves on the feed

Tickets are now on sale for the RABDF’s regenerative Down to Earth events taking place on Wednesday 21 June and Thursday 6 July. Demand for the inaugural show last year has resulted in the rollout of two events this summer.



Arla regenerative pilot farmer, Neil Baker, will host the first day and will look at how high yielding, housed herds can contribute to the bigger ‘regen’ picture. Focus here will look at ethnicity of products, in particular, ethnicity surrounding the food chain and food miles. Different farming systems, how healthier animals can result in healthier profits and where to start when it comes to regenerative practices are the main stage themes of the day.

Cumbrian organic farmers, Mark and Jenny Lee, from Torpenhow Dairy will...

Carting grass back to the pit from just outside Coleraine John was working the pit with the Volvo L60G with the 14ft Strimech on the front. The grass is being used for a digester so chopped very fine and was full of sugar.

At the beginning of the year, the horse power Bundesliga is always published in Germany. For the eighth time, the Fendt 724 Vario is the "Nation's Favorite".



In 2022, "a total of 30,344 tractors were registered" writes profi magazine (issue 3/2023). This means that the tractor market in Germany has declined by 4,128 units compared to 2021. profi cites a lack of supply parts as a long-term consequence of the Corona pandemic as the reason.

Fendt in first place from 201 hp​

As in 2021, Fendt leads the statistics for new registrations in Germany in 2022 in all performance classes from 201 hp. In 2022, 1,773 Fendt tractors were newly registered in the 201 to 300 hp power class, 644 machines more than the runner-up. In this...

James McCartney ploughing with the Massey Ferguson 7718s on the Kverneland 4 furrow ES80. Working a multi-sided field with a mixture of soil tyres, and ploughing deep for potatoes to be drilled in the coming weeks. The last field of the season for ploughing as well, and of course I had to get one of the most awkward one too!!

Wee throwback video to McCartneys digging potatoes last season

A new irradiation sensor will enable all arable and vegetable producers to manage their irrigation, fieldwork and disease protection more precisely, helping to curb costs and boost productivity. The low-cost system operates with exceptional accuracy, large reach and is user-friendly.

Sencrop’s new Solarcrop irradiance sensor, which has just been launched in the UK, means producers can link up real-time solar irradiation, rainfall, humidity, temperature and wind data, as well as accurate weather forecasting, in one simple app. Based on crop type and growth stage, this accurately predicts evapotranspiration rates and soil moisture availability, helping farmers to identify when and how much to irrigate without the need for expensive and very localised soil probes.
